MILLION AND A HALF
AMERICANS UNDER ARMS
Arms of the Most Modern and Effec-
tive Kind Have Been Supplied to
Men in France.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Every phase
of the war departments preparations
for battle against Germany was out
lined and defended by Secretary Bak-
er testifying before the senate Mill
tary committee. He answered critics
of the department with the assertion
that no army such as that now under
the American flag ever has been rails
ed, equipped or trained so quickly,
and that never before had such pro-
vision been made for the comfort and
health of an army.
Arms of the most modern and effect
i've kind, the secretary declares, have
been provided for every soldier in
France and are available for every
fighting man who can be sent to
France in 191.
An army of nearly 100000 men,
enlisted and selected without serious
dislocation of the nations industries,
is now in the field or in training at
home and abroad he asserted. The
subsistence of the army, he continued,
has been above criticism, while its
initial clothing supply, temporarily in
adequate, is now substantially COM
plete.

PRESIDENTS PEACE PLAN
Is CRITICIZED BY TEUST
One Paper Says President Erects Die.

Talk to Free Germany.

Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-THE Mich
histen of Dusseldorf rejects President
Wilson'S proposition as utterly I'M
acceptable and says that discussion
is useless.
''It may be hard" it says. "after
three years of war, but a decision
must be sought on the battlefield. It
is not our wish, but we shall not leave
the field except with honor
The Allgemeine Zeitung of Essen
says:
president Wilson seems not to
know that the smallest appropriation
for the army requires the sanction of
the reichstag, the most democratic
parliament in the world. Yet he, who,
unheeding the spirit of the American
constitution. has erected a brutal
military dictatorship in his own coun-
try, now presumes to talk about au.
tocracy in free Germany"

MAY EXTEND ENEMY ALIEN
RESTRICTIONS TO WOMEN

Washington, Jan. 9.-Enemy alien
restrictions probably will be extended
soon to German women in the United
States. Legislation to this end is be-
ing drafted and congressional leaders
have assured the department of justice
that it will be promptly enacted. If
this is done before the week of Feb
ruary 4, when nationwide registra-
ton of unnaturalized Germans is to
be made under supervision of the de-
partment of justice, women probably
will be included in the enemy alien
census.
Regulations to govern the registra-
ton have been sent to police officials
of cities and postmasters of small
towns, to whom the active administra-
ton of registration has been entrusted.
The rules differ from those already
made public only in the fact that fed
eral districts, not county or local court
districts, are to be considered units
for gathering census returns from nom
urban sections in which postmasters
will take the registrations.

|M'ADOO URGES MEN
TO KEEP UP SERVICE
APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM OF

THEIR WORK is IMPORTANT
Director General Says Road Employees
Have a Part in Winning War

in the Trenches.
THEIR WORK is IMPORTANT

Washington, Jan. 9.-Director Gen.
eral McAdoo yesterday addressed an
appeal to railroad officers and en-
ployes to do their utmost to maintain
efficient railroad service as patri-
otto duty, saying "every officer and
employee is just as important factor
in winning the war as the men in uni
form who are fighting in the trenches"
He promised to consider labor prob
lens Justly and fairly and at the
earliest possible moment" The names
of four members of the board to inves-
tigate the brotherhoods' request for
more pay probably will be announced
today.
At the capitol the railroad problem
was the subject of hearings before
the interstate commerce committee of
both the senate and house. Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Ander-
son explained the purpose and effect
of the pending administration bill to
the house committee, while julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board
VI tllt toOulIlCl IL HIS
testimony before the senate commerce
committee on the difficulties of rail-
roads under private management.
Together with the labor phase of
government operation, the railroad
administration yesterday considered
financial problems with which the
government will be forced to deal
shortly. From scores of roads came
reports on estimated amount of adj
ditional capital to be raised this year
by issue of securities. These will be
compiled by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Daniels and presented
to Director General McAdoo late this
week to be used as a basis for COM
putting the big sum which congress
will be asked to appropriate to alb.
sorb the company's securities.

Enforce Food Conservation.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Enforced food
conservation in restaurants and extern
sion of authorizing regulations to
make them apply to the household
are included in the plans of the food
administration for creating larger
export surplus of food. This was re-
vealed in statement by Administers
tor Hoover setting forth that the allies
are in need Of an additional 75.OOO,O0O
to 90,0O0,000 bushels of wheat, and that
they have asked America to double
meat exports. Only by further saving
can the food be shipped to them.

MIXED REPORTS CLOUDING
RUSS-HUN PEACE PARLEYS
Fighting on Battle Fronts Still at Low
Ebb and Negotiations Are of
Chief Interest.

London, Jan. 12.-With fighting still
at low ebb on all the battle fronts
the chief political issue, the negotia-
tions between the central powers and
Russia, remains the absorbing point
of interest in the world war. Chaotic
| indeed is the situation surrounding
these negotiations, due to the fact
that nothing but contradictory reports
| of the proceedings have come through
for publication.
That peace again has been discussed
at Brest-Litovsk seems apparent, con-
troverting the previous reports that
the conferences would be discontinued
by the Bolsheviki unless they were
transferred to Stockholm.
The latest advices are to the effect
that the delegates of the central pow
ers now have declared Withdrawn
so far as Russia's allies are con-
cerned, their peace proposals of De-
cember %, of mo forcible annexa-
tons or indemnities' which were con-
ditional on Great Britain, France, the
United States and other enemy powers
participating in the peace proposals.
The refusal of these powers to be
drawn into the Teutonic net of dis
cussion is given as the reason for the
Austro-German delegates recanting.
Proposes Separate Peace
But Count Czernin, the Austro
Hungarian foreign minister, told the
Bolsheviki delegates that the door
has not been closed to the Russians.
and that the situation had resolved
itself into a question of a separate
