A Draft Law Injustice
e T I,ogan in Leslie's.

Thomas F. Logan, i'll LeSllc 5.
 It is obviously impossible to work out scheme of conscription free Of all defects. Local exemption boards differ widely on interpretations or in structions and, in case of doubt. all most invariably decide an argument Tn favor of the government and against the individual That point of view, of course, is thoroughly applicable. Nevertheless, there have been re- peated instances of decisions which worked a serious hardship on the in dividual. Some of these were pointet out a few days ago in Congress by Senator Sterling of South Dakota. He called attention to the fact that physt- cal requirements, under>the first draft. were frequently changed, almost over- night at times He cited cases of men who volunteered to fight and, when rejected as physically unfit, en- tered into business arrangements, or married with the belief that they were powerless to serve their country and would not be called to the colors Later, these men were jerked into the service by their draft boards and passed as physically fit. Senator Ster. ling attacked a situation that makes 1t possible for rejected volunteers to be ccnscripted His stand will appeal to the American love of fair play. il is unquestionably unjust to refuse man right to fight when he asks 1t, and subsequently, thrust him into tho army without credit for his patriotic earlier action.

What Army Clothes Cost
homas F. Logan, in Leslie's.

lHoinaS +. Logan, in IeSlle s.
 There are 25OO0 items on the remark able list of supplies which the quarter master corps keeps in stock to meet the requirements from Pershings headquar- ters. These items range from handcuffs for the Huns to medals for brave Ameri- cans. Moreover. the war department does not haggle over the cost of supply ing the army's needs The men in the trenches get the best equipment that money can buy. The fact that the gov ernment purchases articles of clothing in multiples of million cuts down the unit cost, but not to the extent that many people suppose. A woolen uniform. for example. costs the war department a little more than s16. Flannel shirts are manufactured at cost of $a.OS each. Field shoes represent a government in vestment of s7.50 pair. One suit of winter underwear means an expenditure Of $40. Woolen overcoats cost N2.l7 each. Every American in the trenches this winter will wear an outfit that cost the war department over $50. That sum does not take into consideration the cost of blankets. bed sacks, safety razors, Jerkins, slickers, soap, As tooth prusnes, trench mirrors and innumerable other items on the list of things which the gov ernment considers essential to the health and comfort of its lighting men. The "doughboy" of the western world is the best fed and the best clothed soldier in the eastern hemtgphero,

BAKER RETURNS ID
 PARIS FROM FRONT Smeared With Mud From Battlefield, the Secretary
 Arrives in Happy Mood

Paris, September 15-Secretary Baker returned tonight from the American battlefront where he spent the last two days with the American troops, them as they marched into St. Mihiel.
 As the big army automobile stopped in front of General Pershing's Paris home tonight the secretary alighted covered with mud from head to foot. He carried his gas mask in one hand and his steel helmet in the other. His trench coat was smeared with mud and his leggins were coated with it and even his eyeglasses ere splashed. Sec retary Baker made only a brief stay in Paris tonight, leaving on the night train for an absence of several days.
 While he was deeply stirred with what he had seen, Secretary Baker spoke in moderation. He was partic- ularly impressed by the splendid spirit and enthusiasm of the American troops. He also had seen great throngs of German prisoners as they were brought back from the firing line. From high

The many calls for war relief of every kind has diverted the attention of the people away from the suffering poor right at our doors. They are here just as they always have been and al- ways will be with us. Because of the war calls for the peoples benevolence, less is given at home. The appeal is so small in comparison to the larger patriotic call for the soldier and his family, that the poor at home are being overlooked in our greater benevolences. We, who are on our guard looking out for, the hcme poor See and feel this neglect very keenly and it hurts to be compelled to turn any away.
 We have asked again and again that a campaign for funds and sud beriptions for 5000 per months or $12,000 for the year be put on by some of our business men or civic organizations, as is being done for the r. M c. A. and Red Cross, but these war campaigns follow each other so rapidly that no place has been found where it could come in. Still 1t is all important that this pressing home need be met somewhere soon in busi- ness way This need for own own poor must not be left out entirely, or we have a situation paralleling the coal famine we experienced here last Janu- arv. But thanks to those big heated coal operators that condition was met and cared for by the cooperation Of this department when 1500 loads of coal were supplied free, when money could not buy it anywhere also.
 What is, needed now is something substantial be done.
 Talk is good and plans are needed.

NEEDS OF OUR HOME POOR

The plaAs are made Now put them in action and results will follow.
 Agitation of this subject is needed Tn our newspapers, pulpits, clubs and civic bodies, as well as business firms and lodges. We can furnish the data or needs, what has been done and what is planned for the coming year. How all the welfare and benevolent agencies of the city can cooperate so as to pre- vent duplication or overlapping, and yet every really needy persons ne- cessities be promptly met.
 Action should follow talk and agita- tion The money needed should not onl1 be sought personally, but collected when the people are ready. Many can and are willing to give material gifts such as clothing of any kind, house. hold furnishings and all sorts of rum mage even down to rags, all of which we will send for and take to our rag basis of an industrial work that supp ports large number of unemployed women and thier families.
 By this system these poor people are put in the self-supporting industrial class and not beggars, except for the opportunity to make an honest living. Thus we cure poverty, which is dis ease by exercise, good honest, respecta- ble and healthy.
 The people need to know these things and they will cooperate in extending their usefulness when they once know what this Department of Relief and Corrections is doing, has done and pro- poses to do.

MADISON GROWERS
 OPPOSED ID FIXING
 .OF COTTON PRICE.
Wire Protest to Alabama Members of House, and Bitter Fight Forecast
 Against Plan
Rx HIGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, september 15.-(Spe- cial 1.-TWO hundred representative cotton growers of Madison county through w. F. Garth, chairman. and o. A. McFall, secretary, of mass meet ing held in Huntsville, wire all Ala bamians, in Congress today their pro- test against probable fixation Of the price of cotton by the government.
 The resolutions declare the pro- posed fixation unnecessary and calcu- lated to work serious and continued hardships on southern planters. but add that if the plans be adopted be- cause such drastic action is deemed necessary for the winning of the war. submission would be made in good spirit. Before such action is taken, however, the Madison farmers urge the government to inquire into the sit uation most carefully. and in order to prevent continued breaking in the price market, to act as quickly as pos- sible.
 Southerners in Congress will beS.n tomorrow bitter fight against fixa- tion. They contend that the Presi- dent has no authority to fix the price of any commodity save that entering into food or fuel. A conservative view. is tlat the President, having been em- powered to buy cotton for the Uni ted States and the allies in their prose- cution of the war, has the legal right to stabalize the price.
 Senator Underwood is a member Of the senatorial committee appointed to interview the President, and Senator Bankhead, independent of the commit = tees reouest. has asked the President to receive him before final action is taken

GERMAN IMPERIAL
 BANK FINANCED
 THE BOLSHEWK|
Planned German Control of Russia Economically and Financially During and
 After the War

Washington, September i4--The part played by the German Imperial bank in Financing the Russian bolshevik move lnent, the care taken by the German military authorities to prevent spread among their own people of the social istic preaching of their Russian tools and the plans laid for German control of Russia, economically and financially, during and after the war feature the disclosures in the second installment of the sensational series of secret documents which the American govern ment is making public.
 Copies of the documents, given out tonight, carry the file numbers of Reich bank of the German staff, and in some instances notations by Lenine or Trotzky, bolshevikleaders, now shown to have been in the pay of Germany since long before they overthrow Russlas s new democratic government and vir- tual1y turned the country over to the Teutons. There are Illuminating ex- planatory notes by Edgar Sisson of the committee, on public information, who directed the investigation which re- suited in the discloses.
 One of the Reichbank memoranda, dated last January, announces to the commissar of public affairs (Lenine) that 50,00O,OOO rubles of gold had been placed to the creoit at Stockholm of the representatives of the commissar, to cover the cost of red guards and agi- .tators Another of few days later To1lc pf sof or the assistant naval commissar in the Far East, which is entrusted with the task of carrying off or destroying the American and Japanese stores of war material at Vladiyostok-a scheme that probably was well under way when the landing of American and allied forces at v1adivostok ended the sway of the bolsheviki there.
 A resolution adopted by the Greman commercial banks under the auspices of the Reichsbank outline an elabor- ate programme for control of Russia by Germany and the barring of America and the allies from the Russian com mercial and industrial field after the war What happened to this scheme is not known, but it is suggested that it may be the subject of one of the secret sections of the German bol- shevik treaty.
 How Lenine and TrotZky were be- traying ~their socialist friends along with Russia is disclosed by sharp note to Lenine from the Nachrichten bureau demanding to know what steps he would take to make good his personal promise that socialistic and agitational literature would not be circulated among Ger man troops. Trotsky wrote on the mar gin, T ask to discuss it.-L T." The concluding document of the installment is a German warning on January 29 to Lenine that unknown agitators were ciculatingi propaganda tending in ad- vance of the plans of the bolsheviki to openly surrender to the Germans as they actually did later.

eminence the secretary looked out on the Americans as they sprang forward in attack. He refrained, however, from commenting at this time except in a brief statement which follows:
 General Pershing's statement will cover the military situation. The peo- pie of the United States will be over joyed that their army in close co-op eration with the allies has been able to achieve this striking success. A particularly happy circumstance is that the victory delivers from the enemy the invaded territory which had been occupied for four years, and restored it to France and her people, who haa been captive during the long period
 '"The rejoicing of the civil population at St. Mihiel knows no bounds and al- ready, mixed with the wan material which crowds the roads, areA refug ees returning to their homes.
 '"The action and all of the circum- stances was brilliant and justifies the hope of a great nation whose armies are engaged.

FINANCE MEASURES OCCUPY CONGRESS
 ALL THIS WEEK
House to Begin Discussion of Amendments to Reve- nue Bill Today Under
 Five-Minute Rule

Washington, September 1s.-Measures for the financing of the war will occupy the attention of Congress this week. In the House the war revenue bill will be taken up tomorrow for discussion of amendments under the five-minute de- bate rule with view to final vote be- fore Saturday, while the Senate, when it reconvenes Tuesday, will begin consider ation of the administration Liberty Bond measure designed to stimulate sale of bonds of the fourth issue, which will be placed on sale September 2s.
 After disposng of the revenue bill the House is expected to begin work on the new s7,D0O,O00,0oV emergency appropriation for the army made necessary by the en- larged programme under which the draft age limits were extended to include men between IS and 45.
 While the House is working on the fev- enue bill, the Senate finance committee will close it's hearings on the measure and begin revision of the House draft. Secretary McAdoo probably will soon be called before the committee.
 VACATION PLANNED
 Leaders in both houses plan an ex- tended vacation of Congress during Oc- tober Most senators believe there is little prospect of the Senate finance committee completing it's work on the revenue bill before late in October, and they expect definite decision on the three-day recess programme this week.
 With the revenue and other important war measures out of the way the House plans to adjourn over October for the congressional election campaign. Besides the army appropriation bill measures pending in the House include the emer- gency agricultural appropriation bill, with it's rider for national prohibition during the war, the administration water power measure, the annual agricultural appro- priation bill, which the President vetoed because of the proposal to increase the government guaranteed prices for wheat and a few other minor measures The regular water power bill will be taken up in the Senate next Tuesday and probably disposed of before any recesses are be- gun, while definite action also is planned this week by conferees on the oil leasing bill.
