from the view OF the central powers
that in their present form they are IN

again are prepared to give II clearly

and try to find "A basis for a compro-

No General Peace.
For the central powers, as distinct
from the case with Russia, the an

with Russia has no connection with "A

Petfograd. Jan. 16.-The evening
papers declare that the arrest by Ru :
manians of Austrian officers who
sought to go through the Rumanian n
lines on their way to the Russian front
to fraternize with the Russians. is one

officers broke the armistiee agreement

fact of the arrest OF the enemy was
Immediately communicated to head :

OWE NO ALLEGIANCE
TO GERMAN EMPEROR

Springfield, ILL.,, May 20.-Emperol
William can claim no allegience
from the Lutheran church in Amer
lea, a pamphlet published by the
Missouri Lutheran Synod, declares.
The booklet, written by Rev. Frede-
rick Brand of Springfield, ILL.,, vice
president of the synod, is entitled,
"The Lutherans versus Hohenzol-
lernism." In part it says:
1T is common impression in this
country that the kaiser is the
visible head of the Lutheran church
of Germany, and, therefore in some
manner is the head of the Lutheran
church in America. The founders Of
the Lutheran church of America, Of
which we are members, were per-
secuted in Germany because they
would not tolerate government inter-
ference with their sacred rights as
Christians, and emigrated to the
United States in order to escape the
thralldom of the German churches.
"The kaiser can neither bid nor
forbid, with either real or arrogated
authority, in the Lutheran church of
America. We owe him absolutely no

USE ALL SHIPS FOR
army TRANSPORTS
EVERY AVAILABLE SHIP TO BE
TAKEN AND FITTED WITH
HIGH SPEED ENGINES

Washington, May 19.-Every ship
suitable for carrying troops to France,
whether originally intended so or not,
is to be fitted out with the necessary
high speed engines to make it a
transport.
The remark Of President Wilson at
the opening Of the Red Cross drive
in New York: "Why limit our army
to 5,000,O 900 menu was not so much
an expression of hope as a reflection
Of preparation for colossal army in
France as quickly as ships can get
them there.
The United States Shipping. board,
it was learned tonight, has ordered
every troop ship in every stage Of
construction rushed, and has given
orders to change the program when
ever possible to turn ships out as
transports instead as cargo carriers.
That was the reason behind the
boards request to the Navy depart
ment through General Goethals for
some of the turbine engines made
for the new destroyers. 1t was thot
by Edward N. Hurley that the War
department could get the transports
its new army plan calls for by put
ting these high horsepower engines
into suitable ships not now equipped
for rushing troops to Europe.
MIR. Hurley said tonight however
that Secretary Daniels refusal to
give up any of the destroyer turbines
for transports would not handicap
appreciably the new policy of con-
centrating on transport production.
Secretary Daniels explained that
the new destroyers were needed even
more than troops ships to keep the
sea lanes safe for the ships already
plying the submarine zones.
so New Big Ships in June
New York, May 19.-Fifty ships
of major size will be put into COM
mission at American yards next
month and a larger number will be
ready for sailing in July and August,
said Bainbridge Colby, United States
shipping commissioner, in an address
here tonight.

BREEZY POINT" BY TREFOlL
MEMBERS BIG SUCCESS


"Breezy Point" play in three acts
was presented here Tuesday evening
by members of the Trefoil Club under
the direction of Miss Grace Jones, OF
the public speaking department OF the
school.
The general opinion was that the
play was admirably done and tnat
great credit was reflected on both the
participants and the director, as well
as several who assisted in many ways
to make it the big success 1t was :,
The play was rather an unusual
one and also rather difficult, TOR thae
reason the work done in several OF
the scenes was the more appreciated
and artistic acting removed from the
minds of the audience any thought
that possibly something OF classical
nature would have done better.
"Breezy Point" is built on the old
plot of a poor aunt who is the owner
Of a summer home at Breezy Point.
Between the first and second acts the
Misses Patterson and Anderson rem
dered two duets which were much en-
loved by the audience an dthe two
little Haskett girls danced the Scotch
dance which brought much encore
from the audience. Between the last
two acts Miss June McChesney de-
lighted the audience with two solos
and again the Haskett girls gave
pvpsv dance which was equally as
much enjoyed as the first one.
Following was the cast for the play:
Aunt Debby, Mistress Of Breezy
Point-Estelle Miles.
Eleanor Pearl, of unknown parent
age-Doris Rundell.
Ashrael Grant, a workhouse waif
Ruth Asbury.
Mrs. Hardscratch, with business
propensities Slater.
Hardscratch Observation-Disclosures
thy Kvindlog.
Sophia-Lucy Randolph.
Mehitible Doolittle, manufacturer
of catarrh snuff and bitters-Grace
Jones.
Summer Boarders of Breezy Point
-Bernice Vernon, Alpha Boe, Laura
Leigh, Minnie Eidsness, Edith Nor
ton, Mabel Greengard, Clarice Fen
leigh, Leona Vohs.

Maid-Katie Won Media. r.,

the NEW DRAFT WILL
CALL 100000 men !
II1NE 5TH REGISTRATION WILL
ADD ABOUT THREE.QUARTERs
Of MILLION MEN FOR ARMY

washington, May 21. - Estimates
today lby Major General Crowder
provost marshal general, indicate
that probably three quarters OF a
million men will be obtained for the
army by the registration Of June B
of all youths who have attained II
wears Of age since June s, last.
Fully a million youths, according
to General Crowder's estimate, will
be registered, At least one-fourth OF
them, he thinks, will be exempted on
various grounds.
A statement by Sec. Baker giving
the estimate and outlining plans for
the draft, given out today, reads: -.
"Probably three-quarters OF a mil
lion men will be added to the Amer
ican army in the making, by the reg
istration, on June 5, next, OF boys
who have reached the age of 81 since
June 5. 1917, or who will be 21 on
or before June 5, 1918. This esti-
mate was made today by Provost
Marshal General E. H. Crowder, who
will direct the registration.
General Crowder's estimate was
based on the fact that almost ten
million men registered last year. This
number included all between 21 and
81. Statistics collected by General
Crowder's officers shows that little
more than ten per cent of these men
were 21 years old. On that basis it
is estimated by draft officials work.
ine under General Crowder that this
years registration will exceed 1,OOo,-
600.
"Of this number General Crowder
estimates three quarters, or about
100000 will be available for military
service. This makes proper allow
ance for physical defects, exemptions
because of dependents and other bars
to military service.
"Under President Wilson's proc
lamation all male persons, citizens,
or aliens, must register. The only
persons excepted are officers and en-
listed men of the regular army, navy
and marine corps and the national
guard and naval militia while in fed
eral service, and officers Of the off,
GERS reserve corps and enlisted men
in the enlisted reserve corps, while
in active service. s@r ..
General Crowder plans to have the
local boards keep their Offices open
for registration purposes between z
q. m. and 9 p. m. on June 5. Be-
tween those hours all young men
who were born between June 5, 1896,
and June 6, 1897, must register. These
men are subject to the provisions OF
the selective sesvice act under which
the first registration was held" "
