the situation.
Il am convinced also" said Senator

people in Iowa are in favor of amend

sentiment in favor of amendment OF
the league constitution is growing
stronger all the time"
He said that among the amend
ments desired by the people were one
to safeguard the Monroe doctrine and
another to eliminate the mandatories
which would compel the United States
to send armies to foreign countries to
police them II necessary.

his state are intensely interested In
the question of a league of nations,
and that meetings at which the league

In which they are held.

War Department Proposes to
Restore Old Status, 16-
Division Basis.
DEPENDS ON CONGRESS

Tentative plans have been framed
by the War Department for reorgani-
zation of the National Guard on the
old sixteen-division basis, should Con-
gress eventually decide to continue
the state service as a portion OF the
settled military policy of the country
The effect Of this would be to restore
the National Guard on exactly the
same status it held when drafted into
the federal service.
Assignment of Officers.
Revised tables OF organization. COW
ering elements of the military pro-
gram. show that the War Depart
ment has provided tentatively for the
assignment Of 389 officers from the
Regular Army and of 1000 sergeant
instructors to the administration and
training of the new National Guard.
Nothing has been done beyond the
l"eparation of this table. but it was
said today at the department that.
failing any change in military policy
by Congress. the guard would be re-
organized as it was when taken into
federal service at the outbreak of the
war.
Under existing law the National
Quad. or organized militia" would
be composed of 144 infantry. 16 cav
airy and 80 field artillery regiments.
in addition to the coast artillery units.
At the full contemplated strength. of
500 men per congressional district.
the guard. under the national defense
act, would have a peace strength in
excess of 100000 men.
The Departments preparation of
these tentative plans was in response
to request of the military commit
tees of Congress, submitted at the
time Secretary Baker presented his
bill for the reorganization of the
Regular Army with an aggregate
strength of 509,G00 officers and men.

The critics are of different shades of

the defense today.
He testified that his son as child
had shown disposition different from
other children. acting queerly at times
Could Not Be Restrained.
He said that at the age of twelve
years the boy had developed strong
habit Of stealing and disregard for the
truth, and was deceptive in all his ac-
tions, and was of an incorrigible ma
ture, and could not be restrained to do
what was right.
He said that in hope Of curing the
boy of his defective nature he was
sent as a pay patient to the Industrial
School in Baltimore. but the treat
ment there apparently did him no good.
Later the boy was taken to the west.
but the change Of environment failed
to improve his condition mentally.
Then it was that the boy asked that
he be sent to the reform school. but
the father said that he did not ap-
prove the suggestion and refused to
send the boy there.
Had No Regard for Honesty.
1t was pointed out by the father
that the boy had no regard for hon.
esty or family sentiment. on one occa :

rested in Washington for theft.
Following that experience. the father
said that the boy was sent to the

after making himself terror in that
institution. The grandmother OF the
boy. he said. had died in the Mount
Hope Retreat. an insane asylum in
Maryland. In answer to pointed
garded the son as mentally trreSpon-
sible.
Other Witnesses Heard.
The other witnesses heard today
were Rev. Thomas D. Williams. for
merly pastor Of the Brookland, D. c.,
church which the boy at one time at
tended. He said he did not consider
the boy as mentally sound: Richard
Henry Bowling. an uncle Of the boy,

IN BERLIN STREETS
Gambling Fever Spreads in
City and Large Figures
Mark Stakes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. Tuesday, April Cam
bling has so increased here since tho
armistice was signed that the widest
opportunity and license are not sum-
cient to satisfy the passion of tho
residents of Berlin, who have taken
to playing games Of chance. even rou-
lette, in the open streets in certain
sections OF the city.
The police claim they are unable
legally to prevent gaming clubs from
operating so long as the weak MEM
bership regulations are observed. It
is q fact, however. that the police can
not stop games in the public streets.
Tables Line Streets.
A few weeks ago it was common
for the police to make eight or ten
arrests daily, but this form Of gam
bling has increased by leaps and
bounds until certain streets are lined
with tables edge to edge. The bets
have been increasing gradually in size
until men and women, apparently Of
the poorer classes and often work
"
port. wager 25 marks at a time.
The police occasionally appear on
the scene, whereupon the gamblers
disappear. only to reappear quickly
after the officers have gone. The
scene is enlivened frequently. by bet
from the table and dash through the
crowd to the walls Of the cheated
gamester.
Bad as is the gambling in the open
streets. that in the "clubs'' is declared
to be far worse. Membership Is .
are pressed upon all who enter the
clubs. The clubs are springing up
like mushrooms. even in the former
aristocratic sections of Berlin. The
police last night raided q well known
hotel of the first class and discovered
turb it because every player had .
membership card as required by law.
Wealthy and Poor Mingle..
The fashionable West End is full of
clubs, while gambling places have
been opened on the Inter den Linden.
The clubs are patronized by 4 strange
mixture Of wealthy and poor and the
strata between. including many well
known persons who made large
amounts OF money on war contracts
Bets on roulette run as high as i've
thousand marks.
The clubs, both old and new. are
striving to outdo each other In
schemes to attract a constantly new
clientele. One means is to serve bet
ter meals than can be obtained in the
restaurants without cards. Many
beautiful homes have been hired fol
club purposes and the gambling rooms
are surrounded with every luxury
similar to the gambling houses in New
York some years ago.
For those who cannot patronize the
expensive clubs there is always gam.
bling in certain cafes, particularly In
the West End. where the dice rattle
steadily until late at night, and where
even roulette and baccarat are preya-
lent. Street gambling is not always
with cash. stolen valuables of various
kinds being put up as stakes.

Good Reasons for Assurance.

There are good reasons for this as
surance. One of the foundation
stones of the Associated Press is ac-
curacy. Even in the keen competi-
ton to be the frsts to announce an
important event this organization
never hesitates to sacrifice speed to
accuracy. Nothing is guessed at. No
matter how probable a runor may
appear. it is classed as a rumor until
its accuracy is definitely established
When the fact is made certain it is
announced without hesitation, no
matter how strange or improbable it
appears.
A case in point was the. lombard
ment of Paris by German long dis
tance guns. The Associated Press men
in the French capital obtained definite
knowledge that shells and not aerial
bombs were doing the deadly work.

idea of such tremendous range. but
