Baker Tells
OF Victory
At St. Mihie]
Draft Board Members at
Farewell Banquet Thrilled
by Secretary's Recital

The men who administered the Sc
lective Service Law in the York City
gathered at farewell dinner in the
grand ballroom of the Waldorf last
night, listened with throbbing temples
while Secretary of War Baker vividly
described the launching of the final
drive to victory at ST. Mihiel, which
he personally witnessed while on q
tour of the fighting fronts.
The Secretary had traced the organi-
zation of the draft machinery, had fair
ly eulogized the work of General Crow
der and the selective service officials
when he began his stirring narrative Of
the gallant offensive which "ripped the
Germans out of the salient that they
welded as a club over Paris and Yer
dun for three years, and which, spread
ing to the Argonne, pointed Germany
toward defeat"
"I saw the battle, in which $500
cannon thundered on a front of less
than forty miles, the greatest gather
ing of artillery in the world, the of
fensive which enabled Americans to ac-
complish what the gallant French hat
failed to do in three years of arduous
trying.
"In two days those boys, whom you
men had made into an invincible army
encompassed this memorable feat. II
was sight which shall never forget
"The St. Mihiel salient had scarcely
been wiped out when the artillery was
withdrawn and shifted to the Argonne
Forest. I travelled on railroad train
with General Pershing. The railroad

upon without the certainty Of just
punishment.
"I know with what ardor and
enthusiasm the soldiers and sailors
Of the United States have given
the best that was in them to this
war of redemption. They have
expressed the true spirit of
America. They believe their
ideals to be acceptable to free
peoples everywhere and are re-
joiced to have played the part
they have played in giving reality
to those ideals in cooperation with
the armies of the Allies.
eve are proud of the part they
have played and we are happy
that they should have been as
sociated with such comrades in
common cause.
cit is with peculiar feeling, Mr..
President, that l find myself in
France joining with you in rejoic-
ing over the victory that has
been won. The ties that bind
France and the United States are
peculiarly close. I do not know in
what comradeship we could have
fought with more zest or enthusi-
asm. 1t will daily be matter of
pleasure with me to be brought in
to consultation with the statesmen
of France and her allies in con-
certing the measures by which we
may secure permanence for these
happy relations of friendship and
cooperation and secure for the
world at large such safety and
freedom in it's life as can be Sc
cured only by the constant asso-
ciation and cooperation of friends.
II greet you not only with deep
personal respect, but as the repre-
sentative of the great people of
France, and beg to bring you the
greetings Of another great people
to whom the fortunes of France
are of profound and lasting in
terest.
II raise my glass to the health
Of the President of the French
Republic and to Nine. Poincare
and the prosperity of France"

LONDON, Dec. 14.-.The reform of
the House of Lords will be one of the
tasks undertaken by the coalition min
lstry If it is returned to power il the
election taking place in the United
Kingdom to-day, Andrew Eonar Law,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, declared
in speech in Glasgow Friday Mr..
Law said the coalition government be-
ieved that a second chamber with ade-
quate strength was necessary IN any
democratic country, but it was net in
tended that it should be hereditary
chamber.
The government, the Chancellor CON
tinued, intended to give the new upper
house the strength that could alone
come from direct contact with the peo-
pie.
Election Is Quiet
The general election to-day is prov
ing to be one cf the Guictest Great
Britain has witnessed in years.
There was a rush to the election
booths in London during the early
hours, but the great majority OF the
voters were expected to cast their bal
lots in the afternoon, the day being a
half holiday.
In some districts, particularly those
inhabited by the working class, the
women were at the polls before the
men, and in larger numbers In one
district in the East End OF London
there were ten women voters to every
man. The rain, however, kept the
women from the polls during the morn
ing in the more aristocratic sections.
Premier Lloyd George wound up his
speechmaking campaign last night at
Camberwell by attacking the name

a small part of labor, whose votes, he
declared, would very largely be cast

The Labor party, the Premier con-
tinued, was not being run by real
laboring men, but by pacifsts and pure
and simple Bolsheviks. 1t would not
be safe to trust the destinies of q

Calls Hearst Policy
After i. S. Entered
War Anti i-American
Hearst Editorial
Read to Senators

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-During
w the inquiry of the Overman
committee to-day an editorial which
appeared in Hearst's "New York
American" April 25, 1917, about
three weeks after America entered
the war, was read by Captain Lester,
of the Military Intelligence Service.
1t declared that the United States
was being virtually made the cats
paw of England and that no enthu-
siasm for the war could be reused
on the part of the American people
until the nations servility to Eng
land was ended. The following COL
loquy ensued:
SENATOR STERLING-Since this
was published after we entered the
war, and since it is bitter attack
upon England. and intended to create
sucpicion and distrust of England,
our principal Ally in the war, would
it be said to be other than simply
pro-German? Would it be called
anti-Amcrican, since it was published
after we entered the warp
CAPTAIN LESTER-There is no
question about that. 1t was
anti-Amerlcan and pro-German.
Ex-senator Sterling-What would
you say it's effect as whole would
be?
CAPTAIN LESTER-If every off,
cial in the government service of the
United States, from the Chief Execu-
tive, and every male citizen of the
age Of eighteen and up, had read that
article and believed it, they would
have quit, laid down.
SENATOR STERLING-And there
would have been no unconditional
surrender by this time?
CAPTAIN LESTER-It would have
been unconditional surrender by the
United States.
SENATOR NELSON-To Germany ?
CAPTAIN LESTER--Yes, sir.

"Mr. President: I am deeply
indebted to you for your gracious
greeting. 1t is very delightful to
find myself in France and to feel
the quick contact Of sympathy and
unaffected friendship between
the representatives of the United
States and the representatives
Of France.
"You have been very generous
in what you were pleased to say
about myself, but l feel that what
! have said and what I have
tried to do have been said and
done only in an attempt to speak
the thought of the people of the
United States truly, and to carry
that thought out in action.
From the first the thought of
the people of the United States
turned toward something more
than the mere winning Of the war.
1t turned to the establishment of
eternal principles of right and JUS
tice. 1t realized that merely to
win the war was not enough; that
it must be won in such way
and the questions raised by it set
tied in such a way as to insure the
future peace of the world and lay
the foundations for the freedom
and happiness of its many peoples
and nations.
"Never before has war worn
SO terrible visage or exhibited
more grossly the debasing in
fuence of illicit ambitions. I am
sure that I shall look upon the
ruin wrought by the armies of the
Central Empires with the same
repulsion and deep indignation
that they stir in the hearts of the
men of France and Belgium, and
l appreciate, as you do, sir, the
necessity of such action in the
final settlement of the issues of
the war as will not only rebuke
such acts of terror and spoliation,
but make men everywhere aware
that they cannot be ventured

LONDON, Dec 14.-Now that Presi-
dent Wilson has landed in France, the
immediate plans of British statesmen
that are being anxously discussed here
are likely to take shape.
1t is understood on the best au-
thority that Premier Lloyd George will
go to Paris early next week to meet
President Wilson and have a number
Of informal talks with him and other
Allied statesmen. He will return to
London before Christmas and is un-
likely to proceed to France again be-
fore January, although other British
statesmen designated for general tasks
at the peace conference will probably
remain in Paris until the formal con-
ference opens.
The chief interest in the question of
the British delegation to the confer
ence here rests with the choice of the
labor delegate. AS far as it is ascer-
tainable now, !. R. Clynes, the present
Food Controller, is likely to attend the
economic conference only, and that the
actual peace representative will be
either George Barnes, a member of the
War Cabinet, or j. H. Thomas.

Rhine March
Truce Change Gives Right
to Seize Neutral Zone
From Cologne to Holland

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 13 (By The As
sociated Press).-The German arms-
tice has been extended until s o'clock
on the morning of January II and the
Allies have notified Germany that they
reserve the right to occupy the neutral
zone east of the Rhine from the
Cologne bridgehead to the Dutch from
tier, according to a dispatch from
Treves
This prolongation, it is added, will
be extended until the conclusion of u
preliminary peace, subject to the con-
sent of the Allied governments.
The message states that the follow
ing condition has been added to the
armistice agreement of November II:
"The Supreme Command of the AL
lies reserves the right, should it con-
slider this advisable and in order to
obtain fresh guarantees, to occupy the
neutral zone on the right bank of the
Rhine north of the Cologne bridge
head and as far as the Dutch frontier.
Notice of this occupation will be given
six days previously"
Marshal Foch adds the dispatch,
has announced in behalf of Herbert C..
Hoover, the American food admins
traitor, that 100000 tons of cargo
space lying in German harbors must
be placed under the control of the AL
lies to supply Germany with food
stuffs. The ships are to remain Ger
man property.
Extension of the armistice was gen.
orally expected at the time of signing,
provided the Germans exhibited good
faith in the execution of its terms.
The original duration of thirty days
was extended before the final draft was
! signed to thirty-six davs. That period
expires tomorrow.
