The stations wero ODened under the, mist,! fSL of the Home Defense Committee, appointed BY? t. I.L oi.w ...Li.,. i .., ty jr. nui oiiuiii, WHICH uiau luuay ucjeneu Its first recruiting station for the home de " fense guard. This Is a municipal organ!- , cation, wjth a proposed strength of 20,000 men. j. The stations, scattered In all parts of the city, were donated by business men, churches, physicians and. In some In stances, by owners of homes. Patriotic posters and arguments are the ammunition used by the volunteer recruiting aids In their attempt to make up the complement f Philadelphia's defenders on the adja cent waters. At these new stations volunteers are en rolled and sent In squads to the nearest recruiting station where there Is an au thorized surgeon, who makes the necessary examination for enlistment. The widespread campaign for recruits is zpected to smother the systematic efforts which, recruiting officers say, German sym pathizers, agitators and pacifists have be gun to prevent men from enlisting In the army and navy. Discovery of the plot was made In the courtyard of City Hall, where sailors from several of the battleships at League Island hae opened recruiting stations to get men greatly needed to bring the ships up to full service strength.

April S A sensation was sprung in the House this afternoon by tile reading of what purported to be a hitherto suppressed paragraph 'of the famous "Zlmmermann note" suggesting that German submarine bases be established tu Mexican ports. The a'leged excerpt from the German Foreign Minister's letter was read by Representative Miller, of Minnesota When the statement was called to the attention of the State Department, Secre tary Lansing said it was "utterly untrue.'' It was announced the Secretary would pre pare a statement to be read on the floor-of the House denying the entire allegation of Mr. Millet Kv'en more sensational than the matter of submarine bases was the alleged proposal that all German reservists were to go im mediately Into Mex'co and "prepare to at tack all along the border." Representative Miller did not state where he got the communication. The text of the communication, as read by Miller, follows: Agreeable to the Mexican tioTern nwnl, auhmarlne bnaea will be estab lished at Mexican porta, from which will he supplied arms, ammunition and Mippllea. All reservMa In the United Matea are ordered Into Mexico. Ar range to attack all along the border. Within the last few days. Miller said, he was reliably informed three schooners have landed arms and ammunitions on the Pacific coast of Mexico, "I am' also Informed," he continued, "that Villa is now surrounded by German officers, who have taken charge of the organization and training of his men. "I am reliably Informed, too, that the other side Is not much better that Car ranza's army is in the control of German officers, and that they have received a flood of German money to finance their opera tions against the I'nlted States." Representative Miller did not explain why this part of the Zlmmermann note had been suppressed, but Insisted he had obtained It trom authentic sources.

"We are going to light." "Didn't Great Britain's mines sink the l'vclyn?" Cooper asked. "Great Britain has not taken an American life during the war." replied Flood. "The Kvelyn was sunk by a German mine, In a Genpan field, near the German coast " Denouncing preparedness advocates for their Interference with pacifist meetings. Cooper, one of the two members of the House Foreign Affia'.fs Committee who voted against a favorable report on the war resolution, criticized action taken In Phila delphia and Baltimore. He said: In Philadelphia, the very cradle of liberty, the police pievented 100U men and women who were opposed to war from meeting in a theatre theie Thev denied them admittance.- because they were opposed to throwing this country into war.

WAR CHIEFS PLAN FOR BIGGER ARMY WASHINGTON. April 6. Final details of the Administration's plans for raising armies to fight Germany were worked out today at a conference at tho Capitol between Secretary! of War Baker and Senator Chnmberlaln, chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee. The measure providing for an Immediate draft of sufficient men to bring the total available fighting strength up to approxi mately 1,200,000 will bo Introduced In both houses Just as soon as the House adopts the Flood-Martin war lesolution. This means that the bill will be laid before Con gress some time tttnorrovv. t'ntll the adoption of the war" resolution liv the House, detulls of the new army bill vv'lll be withheld.

Senator Chamberlain made It ileal- for the first time that the hill piovldlng for an inmedlate levy of troop" was an emer gency one nnd Is entirely a separate measure from the planned compulsory mili tary training. The troop leciulted under tills bill will be used to fill the tanks of the. regular army and the National Guard to war strength and to create an army In training 6f approximately ."00.000 men. The universal training bill then will be pushed with vigor to put the I'nlted Slates on a fit m and permanent fighting basis for a prolonged war and fututc- enicigency. The plait Is to Introduce the army hill in the Senate finmedi.itel.v after It con venes tomoriow noon, and refer it piumptlx to the Military Affairs Committee.

It became known today that southern Representatives and Scnatois have been quietly working with President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker for weeks past to have negroes exempt from the general call to arms. On the other hand, the universal service plans so far presented have uni formly provided for training negroes' the same as whites. Representative Kahn. of California, rank ing Republican member of the House Mili tary Committee, said today that he would fight for Inclusion of negroes, and Senators from the southern States where the negro Issue Is sharply drawn have anticipated the Issue and are prepared to fight It. 'The universal military service bill which I have prepared Includes negroes," said Representative Kahn. "I have pro vided that they be trained In separate units, but they would be called to arms ex actly the same as would the while citizens. There Is no reastii why they should not be called to service. Nobody questions that they make good soldiers. Negro regi ments of the regular-army have novel faced the enemy without giving a good account of themselves. They served with particular bravery at San Juan Hill and Parral." Representative Richard S. Whaley, of South Carolina, expressed the scuthern view. He said: We of the South cannot stand for Inclusion of negroes In a universal service plan. It would bring down i upon the many districts of our States where negroes far exceed whites In number a danger greater than any for eign foe. The universal service plana so far prepared propose that, following one year of active training, the men would return to their homes carrying their guns and equipment with them, to re main members of the reserve, subject to a call to 'arms. This would nccom pliih the very thing which the South has always fought against the plac- Ing ot arras.

Southern members have always opposed the training of any considerable number of negro soldiers. It Is due to their on posltlton that recruiting of negioes for ti t regular army, is strictly limited and that even In the great campaign for enlistments or the last two years, not a Bingle addition has been made to the negro quotas. The negroes are willing to enlist. The only units of the army which are constantly filled to the maximum limit of enlistments are the negro regular and National Guard regiments. The Southerners even opposed the last military bill providing for civilian camps throughout the country, because of their fear that negroes would come to these camps and claim their equal right as American citii-ens to training, VICHY tour, I at tki Frtnch Govtriuu N..r A11..1 ur . iaiuii Autaiine water n ho ilritt 'mtt EV1 Your Physician will recommend its use, to relieve INDIGESTION RHEUMATISM URIC ACID GOUT MGeaalae WILBUR IIHPIIH R III II II III"" I li H Yr Tfr I ?y !TiSriEffN - LflssJwB'- is an educational week.
