Secretary of War Baker, in announc-
ing his plan for three months of military
training for all youths in the country who
reach the age of nineteen, agrees with
Senator James w. Wadsworth, Jr., of
New Y ork, the Republican Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Military At
fairs, who declared at the beginning of
the present Congress that that should be
the country's preparedness policy.
1t is not probable that this country will
find it necessary to raise, equip and train
an army of two or three million of men
for great many years. But common
national prudence should induce US to
pay enough attention to military training
to insure against state of absolute un-
preparedness such as confronted US about
two years ago Secretary Bakers plan,
if followed for ten years and supplement-
ed by two or three weeks of general
muster" each year, will make it possible
to do much towards putting a fighting
force into the field in much less than two
years time. Doubtless Congress will
not take action on this matter till Gen.
Pershing returns to this country which
will be in few days. The General
nows more about military affairs than
does Mr. Baker or any member of Con-
greSs.

RUGGED AMERICANISM

Opponents of the league of nations
card with much satisfaction the report
of the interview between Senator Fernald
a nd the President. 1t is understood that
counted on at least sixty men in the
Senate who would take world view of
the present crisis. Exactly so," replied
Mr.. Fernald, "but at least sixty men in
the Senate in their world view include in
it's scope the United States of America. !"

Colds, fevers and infectious diseases
very often leave the kidneys weak. SO
little attention is given the condition OF
the kidneys during recovery from the
original trouble that severe attack OF
kidney disease often follows here's how
1t happens. The kidneys are worked hard
enough in healthy times. They have to
filter the blood. In any germ disease the
blood is loaded with extra polSons made
by the,disease germs. The overWork tends
to weaken the kidneys, After colds, grip,
scarlet fever, typhoid, measles, pneu-
mona, diphtheria, tonsilltls or chicken
pox. watch for backache and urinary dis
orders, and promptly use Doan's Kidney
Pills. Belfast people have found Doan's
reliable in many forms OF kidney trouble.
Here is a Belfast woman's experience:

reconcilable of all anti suffragists, tht
amendment would have been sent
through at today's session. Senator
Smith refused to agree on a point of
order that would have permitted imme-
diate consideration of the measure.
Senator Jim Watson, retiring chair
man of the suffrage committee, said TO- :
day that the amendment will have at
least six votes over the required two
thirds majority.
It is the new men who have helped.
The elder statesmen are still against a
universal franchise by national amend .

suffrage till his state voted for it. NOW
he will, of course, vote for the meas

Senator Edge, of New Jersey; Sen =

Phipps. of Colorado, and Senator Gay
of Louisiana, are other members of the
upper house whose votes will turn the
tide for the suffrage amendment.
Universal suffrage will be established
under the amendment only after ratit-
cation by three fourths of the states.

of twenty six states will have the right
to vote at the presidential election.

POLES PROTEST TO WILSON
Say Defense Of Jews Is Disguised
German PROPAGANDA

New York, May 2o.-(By A. P.)-
Charges that organized attempts are be-
ing made to poison American public
opinion in regard to Poland, under cover
of defense of Polish Jews, but in
reality as a move to aid Germany, are
made in cablegrams sent to President
Wilson, General Pilsudski, and Premier
Paderewski by the Society of Polish
Engineers and Merchants in America
and made public here today.
In a supplementary statement the So
ciety says that anti Polish demonstra
tions are being inspired at moment
when Germany is making her last effort
to retain "Polish districts of Upper
Silesia, West and East Prussia" and
thereby open a road for the exploitation
of prostrate Russia.

ARMY OF 100000
NEEDED. SAYS BAKER
Asks Quick Action on Appro-
priation Bill

Washington. May 29.-(By A. P.)
Secretary Baker today renewed be-
fore the House military committee his
recommendation that Congress provide
Il temporary army of 500, 900 men.
Il am not asking for any increase in
the permanent military establishment" y"
the secretary said "alI l am asking for
is sufficient money to provide for an
army of 100000 The question of
adopting legislation providing for an
increase in the permanent army is Il
question which Congress can take up
later. The great need now is quick
action on the appropriation bill.
General March, chief of staff, told the
committee that rehabilitation was pro-
cceding so rapidly that every man in
France could be back TO this country
within four months if an army of occu-
patton in Europe were not needed.
Until definite international pol
icy is worked out, however, General
March declared, I'VE must maintain an
army of occupation there. This army
will soon be reduced, however, to the
regular divisions.
The number of men in camps in this
country also was being rapidly re
duced, the general said.
Military education in all schools
above the primary grades was thought
advisable by Secretary Baker.
'"The experience of the army in
France showed that military instruc-
ton was advisable said the secretary.
Committeeman questioned the sccrc =
tary closely on the War Department
poIicy on the size of the army in case
allowance were made for the mainte-
nance of 800, 900 men. They pointed
out that the standing law provides for
an army of only 1I5.OOO men and
that all others must be discharged
within four months after the compile
ton of rehabilitation.
The number of men will be reduced
TO the figures authorized unless change
in the international situation arises
which might make larger force neces
sorv." said Mr.. Baker. In that event
Congress will be asked to change tho

The amendment simply permits the

GERMAN ANSWER
DODCES BLAME
Would Condition Indemnity
on Territorial Arrangement

London, May 29.-(By A. P.)-The
German counter proposals to the allied
peace terms were published in Berlin
yesterday, an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen says.
The reply asserts the willingness of
Germany to reduce her ornaments to a
greater extent than demanded by the
Allies.
Germany, the reply says, refuses to
accept the punishment terms fixed by
the peace treaty, and it is declared that
the Allies cannot both accuse and SEN
tence Germans guilty of responsibility
for punishable acts.
Colonial Questions
The proposal regarding colonies points
out to the Peace Conference that an
absolutely impartial settlement of all
colonial claims was promised in num-
her five of the fourteen points mentioned
in President Wilson's message to Con
grcss January s. 1918. and says that
ian impartial settlement presupposes a
herring of both sides before decision
is taken, and such hearing has not taken
place.
''Nhile appealing to the promise, and
cspecially to the principle that the regu =
lation of colonial claims should take
place with due regard equally to the
interest of governments and the gov
erned." saws the German note, 'thc

tions to special committee. This

and experts of both parties, shall take
