tary of War Bakers statement made
last night before the Senate military
committee asserting that an addition
al army of half a million men would

REPORTS
TO Be PUNISHED
OBJECT OF BILL
Liars Will Face Penalty of Heavy
Fine Also Imprisonment for
Circulating Malicious
Stories About U. 5.
OFFICERS GIVEN A WEAPON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - A bill
making it a felony to circulate false
reports with the intention of inter
ferring with the operation and sue
cess of the American navy and mill
tary forces, or to obstruct the sale OF
Liberty Bonds, has been introduced
in the House.
1t carries a penalty of fine OF
$4,000 and of Imprisonment Of not
more than 20 years.
No opposition has developed to the
measure and the opinion prevails that
it is certain to pass. The new law
will give officials an effective means
of dealing with anti-war workers and
German sympathizers and spies who
keep circulating reports through un'
derground routes for the purpose OF
embarrassing the United States in its
efforts to carry on the war.
