forth in a formal declaration
from the Toxic government, &C
cording to information received
in official circles here.
Although the exact nature of the dec

sumed it would follow the lines of the
repeated statements of Japanese states

be restored to China. In some quar-
tiers it was believed Japan might even

The reported decision of the Japanese
government to make known its pur-
poses is believed to be the outgrowth
of informal diplomatic conversations
between Washington and Toxic reflect
ing the American governments desire
that all the facts in the case be given
to the public. President Wilson has
told many members that complete ex-
posture of the case would throw a new

Washington, August 4--War Depart
ment recommendations for system OF
universal military training of three
months for all eligible youths in their
nineteenth year was presented by Secre-
tary Baker today to the Senate and House
military committees for their guidance
in determining the permanent military
policy of the nation.
The proposal is contained in bill pre-
pared by the general staff of the army
at the secretarys direction. In trans
hitting the bill, Secretary Baker in
letter said that General Pershing had not
been consulted and the plan was tenta-
tive to that extent. 8
The department bill calls for a regu-
lar army of twenty-one divisions and
necessary auxiliary services, with peace
strength of $4,000 enlisted men and
war strength of 100000. The reserves TO
fill up the divisions to full strength would
be provided through modified form OF
the selective service act under which the
national army was raised for the war with
Germany. For training purposes, only

youths in their 18th year would be called
to the colors for a three month period to
be attached to regular divisions for that
time. 1t is estimated that this would
provide an annual class of 100000 men to
be given intensive military instruction,
stripped of all vocational or other educa-
tional features
For two years after training the youths
would be required to submit certain re-
ports giving their addresses, changes III
status as to dependents, physical condi
ton, etc. They would receive 81 for each
report called for and submitted thus en-
couraging the making of reports. In the
event of war all men in this status would
be called to the colors to fill up the regu-
lar divisions and compose the first re-
placement units.
The bill provides for recognizing OF
the regular army in substantially the
same terms as previously recommended
by Secretary Baker when the current
army appropriation bill was under con-
sideration.

Montgomery, August A.
Especial. ALI Alabama is
wrought up over the revenue
bill, according to reports
brought to Montgomery to-
night by members of the legis-
lature, who spent Saturday and
Sunday at home. Some of the
representatives who voted for
the bill say delegations of their
constituents called upon them
and vigorously protested
against their action in support
ing and voting for a certain
portion Of the bill.
The discrimination against certain
industries in the matter of taxation,
they report, was specifically and en-
phatically condemned.

Strike ballots will be mailed to 10000
shop employees tomorrow, Mr. Jewell
announced after meeting of the six
shop craft officials which followed the
call on the president. The vote will
be tabulated August "a
After a conference with the president
Mr., Jewell did not minee words. and
declared emphatically that If congress
passed the legislation proposed by Di-
rector General Hines, well tie up the
railroads so tight they will never run. =
No union men could ever be gotten to
sit on such an investigating body as
contemplated by the director general and
the president, Mr.. Jawell added.
President Wilson, the union official
said, listened sympathetically to what
the union officials had to say regarding
the situation and appeared to recognize
its seriousness. but did not indicate an
intention to recede from his attitude that
he did not have the power to grant
the increases.
President Wilson told us frankly" Mr.
Jewell said. that while every agency
OF the government was working on plans
to bring relief from the high cost of liv-
ing, the country could not expect re-.
duction to pre-war standards for a good
many years to come. He made clear
that what the government now was do
ing would take time, and Immediate re-
lief should not be looked for. and that
it would be long time before there
was a marked reduction.
CONFER WITH HINES
Earlier in the day the union officials
conferred With Mr.. Hines at his re-
quest and informed him also that rail-
road employees were a unit in opposing
his plan for the congress-
committee. The director general said he
had no other solution. according to Mr.
Jewell, and insisted that he also had not

STERLING ATTACKS LEAGUE

Although the Senate spent most of
it's day discussing the high cost of liv-
ing, Senator Sterling. republican, South
Dakota, made speech announcing he
could not vote for the treaty without
reservations and Senator Sherman, re-
publican. Illinois, criticised President
Wilson for his attitude regarding
F'iume. Senator Swanson, democrat
put into the Record a letter from David
Hunter Miller. who was connected with
the league of nations section of the
peace conference, declaring it the in
tention of the covenant that any ma
tion wishing to withdraw should itself
judge whether it's obligations had been
fulfilled.

tive to financial provisions of the

Arrangements were made to have
the Senate adjourn from tomorrow to
Friday so that the committee sessions
at which Secretary Lansing is to APP

questions asked him are expected to
cover a wide range. and it is not un-
likely that he will be questioned about

LANSING TO APPEAR

News of the expected development
regarding Shantung reached the capital
after the foreign relations committee
had opened the way to other important
disclosures by asking Secretary Lans-
ing to come before it Wednesday to
disclose features of the treaty. 1t is
expected the sessions will be public and
that some of the committee members
will want the secretary to tell much
of the inside story of how the treaty
with its league of nations covenant
was drawn up at Versailles.
With the reassembling of the Senate
after the weekend recess, there was
much discussion among senators as to
the possible effect of the prohibition
issues on the ratification fight The
subject became conspicuous through an
interview between representative OF
the liquor interests and Senator Hitch
cock, democrat, Nebraska, leader of
the pro-treaty forces. at which the
former is said to have urged that peace
be concluded SO President Wilson could
suspend wartime prohibition
Senator Hitchcock said he told his
caller that the only way a state of
peace could be established was by rati-
fication of the treaty, and remarked
that ratification was being opposed by
some senators with whom the VETS
had been influential
Ever since President Wilson made it
clear month ago that he considered
it impossible to declare rehabilitation
complete and thus make prohibition
suspension possible until peace has been
established. treaty opponents have
charged that the liquor interests were
being lined up to force ratification. SEN
ator Hitchcock said today. however,
that there had been-no effort of that
sort and none was contemplated.
Mr.. Hitchcock said the call from the
liquor agent was entirely at the lat
ter's solicitation and that the treaty
had been discusses only after the agent
had asked him to use his influence
with the President to have prohibition
suspended.
This the senator said he refused to

Railroad Employees Oppose
Proposal That Congress
Pass on Questions
of Increases

Kansas City, August 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson was told today by Il.
NJ. Jewell, acting president of the
railway division of the American
Federation of Labor, that all rail-
road employees were opposed to the
proposal made to the President by
Director General Hines that Con-
Eress constitute committee to
pass on questions of wage in
creases for the men.
He said this process would be too
slow and because of the rising cos.
of living speedy relief was necessary.
Mr.. Jewell was accompanied to the
White House by the heads of the SAX
big railway shop crafts, who pointed
out to the President that thousands of
shopmen were now on an unauthorized
strike and that unless the demands Of
these men for wage increases approx
mately Is per cent, presented last
January. were granted promptly the
situation would get beyond the con-
troll of the union officials.
