BRUCE READY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS

Declaring himself ready to IAN
swer any questions anyone wants to
ask me and tell where l stand on
anything" Howard Bruce, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator, recently stat
ed his position on sixteen of the
major issues facing the country and
challenged Senator Radcliffe, his
rival to do likewise.

Mr.. Bruce, in reply to the first of the
list of questions submitted both
candidates by the Maryland Demo-
cratic Club of BALTIC. Il hate war. 1t

civilized, uneconomic, immoral, and
destructive of human and cultural
relations"

ardent supporter of adequate ma

sympathy with policies enunciated
by Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.
$50 far as my personal attitude is
concerned" said Mr.. Bruce, turning
to the relief problem, sit has been
repeatedly expressed to the effect
that, until We can get these people
back in private employment, it is
our duty to see that they are sup
ported; and / have further stated on
more than one occasion that we
should not stint the amount of re-
lief"
Mr.. Bruce said he did not think

tive, with the hearty cooperation and
assistance of the Government" he
said, 1--WE would quite quickly get

Planted acreage on National For
est lands will pass the million acre
mark this spring. January /, 1910,
it stood at 946,574 acres, including
131,7O7 acres planted in 1889. In
the last years the U. s. Forest
Service has been able to make use
of considerable relief labor, particu-
larly CCC workers, and the forest
paintings have averaged more than
100000 acres a year. This yearly
average is greater than the total of
the planting before 1885, about
100000 acres.
On the average it takes about $50
trees to plant an acre-about $12 an
acre.
With a million acres planted, the
Forest Service estimates there are
still about 8 " million acres in need
of planting on the National Forests,
primarily because fires have destroy
ed the forest cover, leaving no seed

War Department Denies
SeIective Service Plans

High War Department officials
denied last night that plans are
under way to inaugurate selective
military service in the United
States. This denial was made when
their attention was called to an
article in the Providence (R. -
Sunday Journal, which said that
plans to institute selective military
service in this country have pro-
gressed so far that the Government
Printing Office, under orders of
the War Department. has just COM
pleted secret printing of 100000
detailed draft record blanks.
Under the National Defense Act,
the War Department keeps up to
date, through frequent revisions, its
plans for selective service in the
event of a national emergency re-
quiring large expansion in our
armed forces. Before the draft
can be put into effect, congress
sional legislation would be neces-
sary.
According to the Journal, the
blanks were ordered by the War
Department in anticipation of legis-
lation at the present session of Con-
gress authorizing selective service.

Boy Eager for Camp Life to Get
Stronger, Stay Out of Trouble
Parents Have Other Reasons Food,
Cool Beds and Sofety From Traffic

The mothers and fathers who
want everything for their children
and can give them nothing know
many reasons why their youngsters
should 60 to camp.
They know the children will get
the kind of food they can't get at
home, that they will have good beds
to sleep in through cool, quiet nights,
that they will be safe from trucks
rumbling through the alleys where
they live, and safe from the river.
But the youngsters have their own
reasons for wanting to go to camp.
One little boy wrote it all down
He wasn't always sure of the SPELL
ing and he hasn't quite mastered
grammar yet, but he is still very

Wants to Stay Out of Trouble.
Here's what he had to say:
Il want to 60 to camp because
I want to get stronger and I want
to stay out of trouble and be good.
I don't want to be bad so people
won't like me. The boy round my
way will not play with me and that
is one reason I want to 60 to camp.
Another reason is I want to go
to camp is to learn how to swim

Millions in Ordnance,
&3P|anes Reported
Bound for Allies
Navy Believed Studying
Plun to Release
16 Old Destroyers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelts promise to
Premier Reynaud that the United
States would "redouble its efforts"
to aid the Allies appeared logically
to involve the release of additional,
warplanes, reserve Army weapons
and supplies, and possibly some
warships
Though details have been sur
rounded by secrecy, it is known
that 263 Army and Navy planes
either have been turned back to
their manufacturers for resale or
earmarked for release, along with
surplus Army ordnance valued at
$37, 100000.
Remaining Stocks Checked.
The War Department has been
checking over its remaining stocks
and reported progress last week
In finding additional surplus weap-
ons for exchange and resale.
BY apparently reliable reports,
the Navy has had under considera-
ton proposals to surrender 16 or
more of its old World War destroy
ers. This lacked official confrma-
ton, however, as did another report
that some of the Navy's new mos
quito" fleet of fast motor torpedo
boats and submarine chasers might
be released.
100000 Rifles Included.
The Army's known contributions
thus far include SO Northrop attack
planes, 80 planes of the same general
type earmarked for release, and the
surplus ordnance. which includes
100000 Lee-Enfleld rifles, more than
300 British and French design
75-millimeter field guns, several
thousand World War machine guns,
and stores of ammunition.
The rifles represented a third of
the Army's reserve stocks. Includ-
ing those in service, the Army still
has upward of 5000 of the 75-
millimeter guns.
The Navy has turned back so
Curtiss dive bombers to the manu-
facturer and they were sped quickly
across the Canadian border. 1t
was announced that 40 others would
be released when more modern
machines became available as
requirements.
