PLACING OF US.

BELIEVED NEAR
Recent Utterances of Presi-
dent Lend Color to Re-
peated RumorS

Washington, Jan. 24.-'If the Presi-
dent said it. then it will be DONE"
n member of the Cabinet asserted
yesterday. commenting on the pub
lished statement that President Will
son informed Democratic Senators
Monday night that there would be
placed abroad by next June twice the
number of American troops originally
planned.
Secretary Baker said that he could
not comment on a statement of the
President, but authorized the follow
ing for quotation:
THE program of the deparement
has been a constantly developing one,
and many difficulties and limitations
have been overcome. / cannot dis
cuss numbers of men in France or
anticipated to be in France at any
particular time, but we have made
substantial progress"
1t was declared on authority at the
War Department that the situati ion
and condition of the American troops
already in France come up fully to
General Pershing's expectations, this
generalization including also the con-
struction operations, which are made
difficult by the complicated questions
of tonnage and of supply from the
United States.
When General Pershing sent his
first battalion into the trenches with
veteran French troops formal an
nouncement of the fact was made
here, with the explanation that these
units were rounding out their train
ing course. A similar announcement,
either directly from General Pershing
or from the department, is expected
when American troops finally take
over whatever sector of the battle
line they are destined to fight on.
Recent press dispatches from Cen
eral Pershing's headquarters have
shown that a considerable part of his
force. at any rate, now was regarded
as fully trained. The War Depart
ment has had little to say on this
subject. There have been no hints
dropped as to when the American
front would be established. but the
impression is gaining strength here
that the day is not far distant.

Cost Saloon License

Bloomsbury, Pa, Jan. "a. - An
incident out of the usual occurred
in Columbia County License Court
Yesterday when Judge Harman call
ed before him George Morton, who
is seeking a license for the Hotel
Morton, of Berwick, one of central
Pennsylvanias best-known hotels,
and dry" for the last three years.
Judge Harmon said it had reached
the courts ears that Morton had
said that If no one else obtained a
license in Berwick he would get
one.
Morton denied having made the
statement. Judge Harmon announc-
ed that If evidence was produced
that would satisfy the court such a
statement had been made the license
would, of course, he refused.
The fitness of B. +. Shultz, ap-
plicant for the Jerseytown Hotel,

was of Incorporate habits, while
Leon Parks, proprietor of the Ben

to boys until they became intoxisat-

The remaining Bloomsbury appli-
cations were heard to-day.

Meatless Days Saved
Quarter of Our Beef

Chicago, Jan. "a. - Through meat
less days and other economies, con-
sumption of meats in the United
States has been cut down by a quar-
ter, as estimated by Armour and Co.,
which concern does nearly one-tenth
of the packing business OF the coun-
try. They also state that such saving
accomplished in the general con-
sumption has been more than taken
up in feeding the new Army here and
in France and in orders from the al
lies.
According to what Armour and Co.
paid for livestock during their fiscal
year ended October 27 last stated as
S93,000,000 more than for the previous
year. being an increase of 81 per cent.
j. ogden Armour estimates that the
livestock producers of the United
States received 1000 000,0 900 more in
1917 than in 1916 for the same amount
of livestock.
Armour and Co report that for their
latest fiscal year they did a gross
business of 10000 900 in the United
States. The business yielded net
profits of above $4,000, 900 after
taxes. and beyond fixed charges and
interest $21,293,563, which is equal to
81 per cent on the capital stock and
14,5 per cent. on the capital invest
ment.

Gold imports amounted to S53S, ,000,-
900. against S6S6,000,000 in 1916, the
decrease being due largely to the fact
that, since the United states entered
the war. purchases by the allies have
been financed by credits instead of
by transfer of gold. Exports of gold
amounted to $372.OOO,0O0, compared
with $156,000,000 in 1916.

administration that this schedule
will save vastly more coal than the
five-day schedule with longer hours

PAY TRIBUTE TO
 JUDGE COLEMAN

Copies of the following resolutions by the board of trustees of the Uni versity of Alabama have been re- ceived in Birmingham:
 'In accepting the resignation of Judge Thomas W Coleman the board of trustees of the University of Ala bama desires to put on record an ex- pression of their high appreciation of the long. faithful and distinguished services rendered by him to this insti- tuition as member of the board and as a member of the executive com mittee.
 Ut is a matter of profound regret to the members of this board to be called upon to face the task of rellev- ing Judge Coleman of his official con- nection with this institution. We are yielding to his request simply because there is no other alternative. We realize that the loss will be keenly felt His wise counsel. his great courage, his superb intellect. his fine judgment have added needed strength to the uni versity at every crisis that has con. fronted it in the past quarter of a cen tury.
 Judge coleman has been a great citizen of this commonwealth. He has served it in many high and helpful ways. We shall cherish in gratitude the memory of his service.
 'We desire also to put on record a simple statement emphasizing the tie of personal friendship that has bound us to Judge Coleman. Those of us who know him best understand his own genius for friendship. Loyalty and fidelity are conspicuous among
