carried out in the belief that Congress
would authorize it. The revolt headed
by the six committee members may
seriously delay this authorization.
The majority report said the change
Of the basis of district quotas from
the 1916 population to the number
liable for military service seemed de-
sirable from the point of fairness.
Calling the new Glass I first, the re-
port said, would break fewer family
ties and disturb industry less than the
old system. The President should be
permitted to call those who have de-
ferred classification before their class
is called. when such men are needed
in the military establishments on ac-
count of special skill, the report found.
Minority Report
The members of the committee mi
nority, besides Mr. Gordon, are A. C.
Shallenberger. of Nebraska: James W.
Wise. of Georgia; Samuel j. Nichols,
Of South Carolina, and Thomas w.
Harrison, of Virginia, Democrats. and
Harry E. Hull, of Iowa, Republican.
The minority report said:
"If Congress is prepared to deliver
the bodies of these nine millions of
men into the hands of the military au-
thorities, without condition or limita-
ton, then it hould pass this joint
resolution; if not, it should be de-
feated.
"The CONSUMPTION law assigned each
person registered serial number,
these numbers being drawn, one at a
time, from receptacle containing all
of them.
at is now proposed that all this shall
! be swept aside by an amendment to
the law and the order of liability de-
termined by the military authorities
J themselves, under regulations now in
force or hereafter prescribed.

Ottinger Bill

Members of the committee on legis-
,,1stion and taxation of the Real Estate
.Board of New York have made report
I'm the West Side railroad situation in
which they indorse the plan of the
g state West Side Commission, which
was appointed to investigate and pro-
! nose remedy for Riverside Drive con-
ditions. The Real Estate Board COM
mittee, however, disagrees sharply with
ithe commissions recommendation that
its plan be put into effect by the pas
: sage of Senator Ottinger's bill.
: The Real Estate Board committee,
speaking of the Ottinger bill, says:
= "To the minds of the committee the
chief objection to the Ottinger bill is
It that it proposes that officers of the city
. administration and members of the
Public Service Commission shall be
= included in the membership OF the COM
mission that is to be given charge of
!. the projected Improvement. This, in
: our opinion, is mistake. The commits

I; The Real Estate Board committee
says of the commissioners report thai
it Outlines a comprehensive and vel
balanced plan for the development OF
! adequate freight terminal facilities
;, The fundamental feature of the com

d terminal railroad extending along thu
West Side from Spuyten Duyvil te
Cortlandt Street, thence to the Eas
River and along the East Side to 155tl
& Street, from which point the system
:, could be extended to The Bronx, ane

+ Supplemental to the construction o
the terminal railroad, the commission
proposes that provision shall be mad'

Postmaster General under President
Roosevelt and as Secretary of the Navy
in both the Roosevelt and Taft admin
istrations, he applied business methods
to all his work, discarding red tape and
roundabout tactics.
Outstanding in the accomplishments
of the Massachusetts, statesman was
the great part he played in the con-
summation Of peace between Japan and
Russia after their bitter struggle in
the Far East. He then was the envoy
from the United States to Russia, and
during the trying days of the Ports
mouth peace conferences frequently
offered suggestions for speedy solu-
ton of difficult problems And it was
he who, when the conferrees reached
the one big stumbling block in the par
ley, succeeded in untangling the situa-
ton and satisfying both nations.
Forced Audience with Car
Japan had demanded the cession of
Saghalien Island, and the Russian dele
gates had refused it. President Roose-
Meyer instructions to confer immed-
ately with the Gar and demand that
the Japanese insistence upon territor-
al indemnity be granted forthwith
Diplomatic suggestion at the Russian
Foreign Office, however, was inetfec-
tive, and the ambassador told the Rus
sian Foreign Minister, in his direct
way, that, unless an audience were ar
ranged, he would see the Car in his
own way. The audience was arranged
Then Mr.. Meyer persuaded the Gar
within few hours, that the cession OF
Saghalien Island would not conflict
with Russia's determination not tc
yield an inch of territory, for the
island in the remote past had belonged
to Japan.
As Secretary of the Navy he hac

cheney which had been causing much
duplication in work. Reorganization
set in, and before many months inef-
nclercy gave way to accomplishment.
Favored War on Allies Enemies
In an address in this city last De-
ccember Mr.. Meyer urged that the
and Turkey, insisting that enemies of
the Allies should be enemies of this
country. He was particularly eulogis-
tic of the Italians.
Born in Boston on June "a, 1883, the
son OF a wealthy manufacturing chem
ist. Mr.. Meyer, after his graduation
from Harvard University, in 1879, was
train ned in what was locally known as
the "school for politicians.r the old
Boston Common Council. From that
time business and politics largely oc.
cupied his life. In the Massachusetts,
House of representatives he rose tc
the speakership, and in 1898 he be-
came a member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Mr.. Meyers national prominence
began when, upon the Recommendation
of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and the
late Senator George Frisbie Hoar
President Mckinley named him as Am
bassador to Italy.
After his retirement from public Of
flee in 1913 Mr.. Meyer resumed many
OF his earlier business connections
His home was at Hamilton, Mass.
Mr.. Meyer married Alice Appleton
of Lenox, Mass. in 1885. They hat
one and two daughters.
Kept Track of National Affairs
Though he retired from public offic,
with the advent of the first Wilson Ad
ministration, Mr.. Meyer by no mean
was relegated to the background il

OPENING NEW FARM LANDS

North of the Colorado river many people are taking up lands, especially in the northeastern part, where water can be obtained for gardens and where dry farming of grains can be carried on. The people going there are from Wyoming and Nebraska, and are among the best people of the country. Owing to lack of surveys and delay in approving surveys made the people are unable to designate their holdings. Along the Utah borden many promis- ing farms have been cultivated and large crops of cereals have been rais- ed. New orchards and vineyards are being planted and within a few years the whole country will be self-sup- porting. These lands are to the north of the big timber belt and in one of the most beautiful and picturesque parts of the state.

LAST 15 PER CENT WILL
 COME FROM CLASS 1

Some of the registrants who had been selected to make up the final 15 per cent of the first quota when it was to have been called, may not be sent to join the national army at this time after all.
 The government has decided that the final 15 per cent will be classi- fled with all the other registrants and the 15 per cent made up from Class 1, which in many cases excludes those selected originally for the 15 per cent.
 The new order is as follows:
 "It has been decided that there will be no more formal calls for deferred percentages of the present quota be- fore February 15. While boards should, until they have enough men finally classified in Class 1, send for ward promptly men selected under the old regulations to make up defi- ciencies in calls already made, the result of this decision will be that we shall be able to give the benefit of the new classification system to all men whose order numbers are so late as to place them within deferred per centages of the present call. Calls will, however, be made very shortly under the provisions of Section 149 for the special class of men there mentioned. For the sake of compos- ing the public mind and for the con- venience of registrants this informa- tion ought to be given wide dissemi- nation.
 "CROWDER."
 The class of men named in Section I49 and for whom calls will shortly be made, include technical and other experts and registrants highly skilled in some special line of work.
 As the work of classification will have been accomplished by February 15, the registrants who will be called to fill the final 15 per cent will be filled from Class 1 and may exclude many now selected foH that final per centage.
