WHOLLY BINDING

ORIGIN OF REPORT
(Bv The Associated Press)

PARIS. July S.-The agreement
reached by the allied council for the
trial of former Emepror William to
be held in London, as announced by
Premier Lloyd-George, was tacit, but
it is learned in American sources to-
day that the agreement is regarded
as binding.
What purports to be an authentic
account of the incident leading to
the agreement becomes available
from usually reliable sources. 1t was
stated that Lloyd-George during a
council meeting asked whether there
was any objection to holding the trial
in London. No objection was raised,
and while the agreement was never
recorded in writing, it is assumed
that the premier later had unoffi-
cial conversations with members of
the iouncil.

side of the present economic status. In It are
thoughts that urban jewellers should take to
heart. So far agriculturists have been at de-
cided disadvantage. They are beginning to be-
]eve that they have been Disseminated against
and are seeking remedies. Read what Success
full Farming has to say about their side of the
case:
THE farmers keep their heads when all
others fly off the track. We ask city workers to
ponder moment what might happen if the farm
ers should do what the workers are doing-de-
handing shorter hours and higher pay. The
farmers are their own bosses SO they would not
have to quarrel with anybody. They could hold
out on strike until they got good and ready, for
they can feed themselves.
You working city fellows, suppose for a mo-
ment that the farmers adopted the eight hour
day. 1t would cut down production at least half.
Suppose they also set price on their labor and
their products based on an eight hour basic scale.
Where would you get your food? Only the rich
could buy it at ALL for the price would be prohibit
i've to men strike. If the cost of living is too
high now, how will lessened production affect it 1?
How will increased cost of production bring
prices down? You live now because the farmers
have gone on producing, working nearer sixteen
hours day than eight hours. You can buy food
because the farmers have not gone on strike,
have not ceased to produce, have not cornered the
market and said we demand so much for our
products we won't work.
IF you city workers expect the farmers to
go on feeding you at the old price you have got
to get back to work at the old wage and make it
possible for the farmer to buy cheaper so he can
produce cheaper This is not One-sided game.
1t takes two to play it and if you city fellows
quit don't get sore if you go hungry soon. Either
the farmers must do you are doing, shorten
the hours and demand higher pay, or else you
must lengthen the hours and produce more with
out more pay.
The farmers have been patient with you.
When they lose their patience, look out You
have already taken their help. If they quit too,
who is going to feed you. What city workers
have in common with farmers is not so much
political as economic. What are you going to do
about it ?"

General Pershing's Testimony

General Pershing's testimony favoring uni
versal training as basis for the military estab-
ishment of the United States and his opinion that
army of 100000, half the size proposed by the
general staff, meets with the popular view Com
ing from trained specialist in warfare his rec
ommendation should carry great weight with it.
Americans do not want large professional
army They believe we should have army
capable of defending us at home and of enforc-
ing our rights abroad. If international circum-
stances seem to compel to organize large
force, General Pershing believes that it should
be volunteer army.
A trained citizenship available for energ-
ences, instructed in the rudiments of warfare,
capable of being quickly modified, is the ideal
which General Pershing has in mind. His ideal
rests on universal training of the citizens. Not
only will that system, in his estimation give US
the trained men but also national unity of pur-
pose which always results when masses are
trained for a common purpose
The testimony Of General Pershing should
give the joint senate and house military COM
mittee sound principles upon which to frame new
army legislation. He is professional soldier
who had the opportunity Of testing out theories
in practice and on a gigantic scale He has
taken middle ground between the advocates
of military system that would become burden
to the American people and those who favor an
army small that it would be of little service.

Tho rrnod States "a ready to increase its fighting force to
713l,172 men during 1919 if the war had continued rloO'' N"'""
General Crowder stated in his annual report to congress.
A reserve Of 2,34OO0O class 1 men was waiting to oe moOH'|eu
whom the armistce was signed, the report stated, the armed strength
Of the nation then being 4,191,112 men. When war was declared liz
armed strength was 378,619 men.
Two out of every three men in uniform were raised through me
draft, Crowder stated, the total number indicted during the war being
281O296. Every one was taken from class l.
ONLY IS per cent Of the men of military age, Is to 40, were IN the
service, the report stated, while England contributed 81 per cent u hr
available fighters. =,
Seven pcr cent was the maximum percentage Of men taken from
any one industry.
The farmers were treated better than any other workers, 60 per
cent of those registered being granted deferred classification. Com
parativcly few married men were taken, the RECORDS showing '"' %
per cent of them were deferred.
Physically the nation is 70 per cent perfect, according to the draft
examiners. This is the percentage of the men found tit Tins does not
include the limited service men or those whose defects could be reneo,eu
The highest percentages Of physical fitness come from the middle
West. Oklahoma led the nation with 50 per cent, closely followed by
Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Texas and North Dakota. Rhode
Island and Arizona show the largest percentages OF physically UNIT, with
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont New York and Washington
close. Rhode Island had only So per cent tit and New YORK oo per cent
Liquor was the smallest factor in causing physical reJectlons, Tile
Derceptage being only onetenth Of 1 per cent. Heart troubles, eyes,
tuberculosis and mental defects brought the largest number of reflections,
each claiming more than 10 per cent Of the total disqualified Fiat
feet took only Is per cent.
Gen, Crowder's work or fight" order forced 10000 men either into
the army or useful work and his drive on the Stacker marriages added
$4,000 men to class one. Eighteen thousand walters alone changed
their work, as did 1900 clerical workers. More than $4,000 are still
classed as deserters by the provost marshal generals Office, having failed
to answer calls or register. About $4,000 have been apprehended.
Eight thousand convicts or exprsoners were indicted and their
records show they have made fine fighting men.
Gen. Crowder closes his report with a tribute to all who helped
make the draft a success. The total cost of the draft was only $16,OOO,OoO
and Gen. Crowder had $~38,O0OO00 in appropriations waiting to 60 back
as compared with $217 in the ZOOS. The cost of enistng a volunteer
was $2895 during the operation of the draft.
