If our government gave stimu-
lus by the provision Of pensions, etc,
am confident that a large body
of men could be recruited and sent
simply as man power to France.
These men. put into the training

for front line work within four or
five months, and they would form
a nucleus upon which 2 skilled

the matter
Palmer said the Hoover plan was
rejected because it would be fatal
TO efficiency TO mix men Of differ
ent habits, food, temperaments,
and to subject Americans to alien
control as to billets and the way
they should fight. with racial fric-

Palmer, as a kind of Roman pro

declered to be unwise and i'm
practicable.
Mr.. Baker said that he would
have an organization fix prices
during the war.
Some such organization for in
dustrial control as proposed by
Mr.. Baruch would have to be
set up, Mr.. Baker said.
Mr.. Baker said that he had
no definite plan for taking the
profits out of war and ventured
the opinion that the burdens of
war are pretty generally dis
tributed through taxation.
Doubts Fortune Making
He expressed doubt that any
great number of millionaires had
been made after the United
States entered the war, declaring
that SO per cent of the new mil
lionaires made their money be-
fore the United States entered
the conflict.
Mr.. Baker opposed a proposal
which has been made to the COM
mission that referendum of the
people be taken before any decla-
ration of war. He said he found
this to be inpracticable.
Brig. Gen. Palmer Pierce, re-
tired, told the commission that an
attempt tO draft wealth and indus
tries i'm time of war would prob.
ably prove disastrous. In order to
get the best results and suppress
excessive profits the Government
should regulate instead of draft
labor, capital and industry, Gen.
Pierce said.
Gen. Pierce advocated the draft
for military purposes, a lump sum
appropriation to the President for
carrying on the war and the for
nation of a body similar to the
War Industries Board to mobilize
material resources. He also urged
Presidential fixation of prices and
wages.

Captain Montgomery pointed
out that there is great danger in
placing q seriously injured person
in a machine. Such an act, badly
managed, might cause death.
Mrs. Rice was taken to the hos
pital about half an hour after her
leap and died two hours later.
The woman, who was the

will eventually be constructed.
The committee also recommended
an increase in the width Of Upton
