chat they had dwelt on details
which, tho important, obscured the
bigness of the task done.
1.-THE death rate in our forces

of December averaged rs per
Thousand and is slightly less than
would have been the death rate of
Nen of the same age at home"

monia chiefly, the rate was about
two per thousand per year and
Baker held out the hope that with
Improved clothing and health con-
ditions the 7.5 rate would be les
sened.
Bakers statements were made,
he said, with a full realization
that some expressions of doubt,
difference of opinion and disap-
proval" have been submitted to
the probers.
1.-THE war department" he con-
tinued, has spent eight months
hearing similar expressions, analy-
zing them, correcting the condi-
lions out of which they grew, per-
fecting its organization to prevent
their recurrence; and all the while
driving on to the accomplishment
of the main task"
How Army Has Grown.
During the war with Spain,
The army of the United States at
its maximum strength aggregated
272.000 men and officers. The
army now in the field and in
Draining is, therefore, roughly, six
times as great as the maximum
number under arms in the Span
ish-American war;" Baker point
ed out.
"The total number already in
the military service is one and a
half times as large as any force
modified by this nation.
"A substantial part of our mill
tary force was selected by the OPP
Grafton of the draft law, which
has demonstrated both the econ
omical and efficient way of select
ing soldiers. The law was drawn,
its execution carried to success

planned and made popular, be-
cause of its demonstrated fair
ness both in plan and execution.

They are perfectly matched and
the central ones are among the
largest in existence. When worn
by Mrs. Gould they form four

Speaker Clark's daughter. have
been the recipients of costly gems
as wedding gifts from congress.
The diamond necklace presented
to Miss Genevieve Clark when she
married James M. Thompson of
New Orleans, in 1918, cost $4,000.
The total sum represented by
precious stones and jewelry in the
possession of American women is
conservatively estimated at one
billion dollars.
The imports of diamonds, pearls
and other precious stones, are an
accurate barometer of the pros
perity of the country. For the
year before the great war-the
year ending June 80, 19f4-the
total imports of these stones and
jewelry-not counting diamonds
imported for miners, glaciers and
engravers' use-reached the sum
of $2S,871,379. Twenty one mil
lion dollars of this sum represent
ed diamonds alone.

The outbreak of the great war
Immediately affected the flow of
gems into this country, since de-
pressed business conditions were
the immediate result in the fall of
1914 and the spring Of 1915. For

But the tremendous boom In
business which occurred in the
fall of 1915 and the spring of 1916
as the result Of war orders from
the allies. and the creation of a
new crop Of munitions million
aires" boosted the imports of
gems and jewelry enormously. For
the fiscal year 1916, $44,564,233

total went to $45,33O,18O.

Control Of the destinies of the Ger

leaders who want to hold what has
been gained by might and sword
Chancellor Won Hertling, the aged
incumbent of the chief political offic-

to resign, while the militarists and
pan-Germans are demanding the dis
fllssal of Dr. Won kuehlmann the for
eign secretary, who has headed the
German delegation at Brest Litoysk.
In connection with the reported ill
ness of the imperial chancellor it is
reported from Berlin that Count Won
Hertling's address before the main
committee of the reichstag has been
postponed for several days. It was
said previously that the chancellor
would answer the recent war aims
statements of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George before the main
committees on Wednesday.
No explanation has been vouchsaf-
ed by either the Germans or the Rus
slams as to the reasons behind the
temporary halt in the peace negotia-
tons Nor has it been announced Of
ficially why the conferences. If contin

The winter idleness on the western

there and the artillery fire breaks
into violence at important points now

that Germany's huge reserve of l.

is to begin its heralded blow very
