Baker Denies Survey Is
In Defiance of Congress
Declares Study of Camps Is
Only to Show Facilities in
Case of Need

From. The Trtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-A comprs-
hensive study has been started by the
war plan division of the War De-
partment to ascertain the facilities
available at environments and army
posts for the training Of large bodies
of men, Secretary of War Baker said
to-day.
The survey ws not prompted by any
desire on the part of the War De-
partment to disregard the refusal of
Congress to provide for universal
military training in the army r-or
ganization bill, as charged by the
American Union Against Militarism in
p statement issued Saturday, Secretary
Baker said.
The War Secretary declared that the
general staff, of which the war plans
division is q part, is constantly making
studies to determine proper steps to
take In the event of another war, and
that the surveys now in progress are
merely better to inform the War De-
partment on the extent of the facilities
now available.
Secretary Baker said the charge of
the Union Against Militarism. that m
quiry was being made to expand the
present cantonments to provide for
100000 men under arms, was without
foundation.
"You can rest assured that the War
Department will not provide for COM
pulsory military training or non
compulsory military training unless
Congress specifically directs it." Sec
retary Baker said. "The studies we
are making are only those which come
within the authority already granted
the War Department, which is 20 be
prepared to plan military operations on
q scale adequate to meet any emer.
gency."

Mrs. Gait Back
To Help Put
Suffrage Over
Delegation Meets Her at
Pier as She Lands With
Mrs. Daniels, Also Back
From Geneva Convention
Bright Future for Cause
Declares All Nations We're
Represented Except Bel
gium and Soviet Russia

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the International Woman's Suffrage
Alliance, and Mrs. Josephus Daniels.
the official representative OF the United
States at the suffrage convention at
Geneva, were among the passengers on
the French linet Lafayette, wnlcn
docked yesterday morning.
A delegation from suffrage head
quarters greeted Mrs. Gait with the
good news that the Governor of Ten.
ncssee had called a special session OF
the LEGISLATURE for August g. and that
Tennessee would probably be the per
feet thirty-six," on which suffrage
hopes are set.
VIII Direct Campaign
Mrs. Gait will Immediately resume
charge of the ratification campaign.
At the international Suffrage Con
vention thirty-five countries were rep
resented. The only two European
countries not represented were Bel
GUM and Soviet Russia. The Belgian
women refused to attend the conven-
ton if the Germans were admitted, and
the Russians, Mrs. Gait said, did not
come because their organization has
entirely disappeared under Soviet rule.
The new republics which were born
during the war-Lithuania Esthonla,
Ukrainia-have woman suffrage.
"The women of all countries testi-
fed to their faith in the League of
Nations" said Mrs Gait, "but they
were a unit in declaring that the league
would be futile unless the United
States comes in.
'.The thing the women of Europe are
really interested in, however, IS milk.
Children all over Europe are suffering
from malnutrition, and schemes for
Al L bot mn CT
engage women's attention. Women with
their strong nurture instinct are alive
to the fact that the urgent need OF
Europe to-day is the rehabilitation of
Its coming generation"
Mrs. Daniels, IN parting from Mrs.
Gait. declared it was great privilege
to have attended the womens con-
gress.
"a remarkable influence for good
can be welded by an international
organization of women she said. "At
the congress there predominated a
great desire on the part of women to
give the greatest service to the world.
Mrs. Daniels Tells Story
"The achievements of the alliance in
gaining political equality for women
we're evidenced by the reports from
twenty-five nations that they had
gained equal suffrage since the last
convention, in 1913. 1t promises we'll
for success of the program of
legislation for political, economic,
civil and educational equality which
was adopted at this meeting, as it's
program until the next convention
i'll 1922"
Mrs. Daniels told story Of the foot
and mouth disease which is prevalent
in Switzerland A party Of American
women, she said, who came to visit heI
by automobile, were obliged to leave
the automobile, take off their shoes
and stockings, and walk through q
disinfecting solution.

Two Skulls Found in
1ncompleted House

Two human skulls and several other
bones, evidently not recently taken
from bodies, were found yesterday in
the incompleted Larchmont home Of
William Farmer, who died several years
ago before his residence had been
finished.
On the skulls was writing which the
police have failed to decipher, and a
book was also discovered bearing on it's
title page "Kia Kia, Devouring Tribe Of
the World"
Reports that some one was in the
house reached Lieutenant John Koch,
of the Larchmont police, yesterday
afternoon. He and a patrolman started
for the place and saw three negroes
leave as they approached. The police
are now endeavoring to fathom the in
coherent writing in the book found
with the bones.

trict Court.
Maynard H. Spear, vice president

that tie company sold 336,OO0,oO0 cubic
feet of gas in 1919. He figured there
would be an increase in distribution
of gas from Is t 20 per cent during
1925.
Attorney W. L. Ransom. for the COM
pany, pointed out that this increase in
sales would necessarily increase the
company's expenses, and declared that
the cost of coal, repairs and materials
is much higher this year than last.
On examination by Eli Neu-
man, representing the Public Service
Commission, Mr.. Spear said that the
company cNpeISco lOl tUe llTSl HVe
months Of 1920 were greatly in ex-

year; that salaries have been IN
creased in some instances and that

that President Wilson also was desir.
