U. S. READY TO DRAFT 2,000,000 MEN IN 2 YEARS Government to Deal Sharpiy With Profit Grabbers in War Time J By Associated Press Washington, April 5. President Wilson to-day gave final study to the bill under which the War Department plans to give compulsory military training to probably two million men within two years and the measure may go to the House and Senate Mili tary Committees to-day, if the war resolution is disposed of in the House. The government had demonstrated to-day that it will deal sharply with manufacturers who try to make ex horbttant profits from war supply con tracts. The Navy Department exer cised for the first time the authority given by the last naval appropriation bill to order naval 'supplies at a price fixed by the government and lower than that submitted by the manufac turer. The government has legal power to seize and operate the plant if the manufacturer declines to ac cept the contract at the lower figure. The identity of the concern was not made public. Contract For Chasers The Navy Department up to to-day had ordered 200 patrol boats to be used as submarine chasers, and ad ditional contracts are being signed daily. Most are ordered at fixed prices rather than on the basis of ten per cent, profit, because of the vast amount of bookkeeping involved in the latter arrangement. The War Department's plan for building an army now is understood to provide for enrolling only men in their twenties, free from home re sponsibilities, for calling out the older men within the prescribed age limits first, and taking subsequently each younger increment of 500,000. Regular army physical standards will be main tained, intensive training in trench warfare will be given and the resulting army will bo sufficiently trained and equipped to equal any similar force In the world. The brass making industry has agreed voluntarily to supply the gov ernment's needs at cost, and a similar arrangement is being sought of steel and fuel oil producers. GIRLS!

TORPEDOED FOUR TIMES HE WANTS REVENGE [Continued From First Page] back thirty-eight times since the war broke out and have been torpedoed four times and escaped the same fate scores of other times. For thrills! Say 80, the days when pirates and buccaneers ruled the seas has nothin' on riding the briny deep these days. I have nearly cashed in four times and have decided to quit the game for good. Those (•crmaii U-boats don't lia\'e a heart and I tell you It ain't safe. I'm going to enlist in the army and I hope I get a craek at some of those fierman devils that caused me so much trouble." Typical Seaman McMann is a typical seaman and he told his tale in true sailor fashion. He stands close to six feet in height and weighs one hundred and ninety pounds, all bone and muscle. Ho was born and reared in Philadelphia, and has followed the life of a sailor for many years. Since the war broke out he has made thirty-eight round trips between the United States and Europe and has nearly lost his life four times and has escaped by a hair's breadth scores of others. His last trip was made on the Atlantic Transport Line Steamship Mongolian, which left Lon don, March 4, and put into New York harbor, March 30. While this trip was made in safety it was a thriller ull the way. McMann relates the tale of the trip In this manner: "Wo left London on the morning of March 14, and not long after we had lost sight of land we received a wire less message stating that the Main, a small steamer, had been torpedoed several miles ahead of us in the same course. We then switched our course south through the Bay of Biscay, off the Coast of France. Off the coast of Spain about a thousand miles we sighted a German raider and later German submarine. Our boat could only travel nine knpts an hour while the raider and submarines were twelve knotters. funnel Shot Off "For a time we thought all was up but by zigzagging and maneuvering we eluded them. We then headed to wards Jamaica and after thirty hours of uneventful travel we encountered another submarine which fired sev eral shots,one of which tore three feet of our funnel off. The remainder ot' the voyage was made in safety. When I reached port 1 said no more shipping for me; a man ain't like a cat, with nine lives and X thought four escapes were enough for me. Sunk In Middle of Ocean "The first ship I was on that was submarined was the British Furniss line steamer Gissmoer," he said. "This happened one thousand miles from Fasnet off the coast of England. It came like a bolt out of a clear sky, the torpedo striking the bow of the steamer and nearly cut her in half. We barely had time to take the boats before she went under. After floating about four days and nights, part of the time without water, we were picked up by a Norwegian tramp, and taken to Cardiff, Wales. None of the crew was lost. Eleven Days Adrift The second boat which was torpe doed was the Kowanmore, owned by the same company as the Gissmoer This was the narrowest escape of any of the four. It happened about half way between the States and England and it was eleven days before we were picked up by the American steamship New York. "We suffered great agony and when picked up were all nearly dead, not having any water and living on hard tack for six days. Two of the crew, the second officer and the third fire men were lost when the boat went down. The steamship Prince of Wales, was the third boat I was on that went down. She was submarined one night off the coast of Greece, and went down in fifteen minutes. We were picked up twelve hours later by an Italian tramp steamer. The last time I was torpedoed was in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of France, when the Earle Tanker No. 87, of the Standard Oil Company, was torpedoed. Wo left New •Orleans for Bordeaux, France, and were within two hours of our destination when we struck. The torpedo cut the tanker in two and ten minutes later she went to the bottom. I had just come from the fireroom with my watch and an other watch had gone on duty when the crash came. There were sixty-five men In the watch and all were lost." After his last trip McMann applied at a Philadelphia munitions factory for a Job and was sent to Mt. Union. He said this morning "that was worse than being torpedoed, so I went to Al toona to enlist and they shipped me down here." He will be given' the ex amination by the local officers and if he passes will be sent to Fort Slocum.

Oklahoma has one of the strongest laws in ex istence against vandalism. This law provides a penalty of up to twenty five years in the penitentiary for the defacing of public buildings or orna ments or improvements. Even writing on the walls of public buildings, such as railroad stations or city or county halls, falls within the provisions of this law. As a result the walls of Oklahoma buildings are sing ularly free from carved or chalked names and doggerel that mar so many structures in other States. The law was adopted in 1911 and copies of it are widely displayed.

INVENTOR OF STRINGLESS BEANS Up in Central New York, a verit able human dynamo, sixty years young, is evolving for America liner races of peas and beans than the world has ever known. Future gen erations will come to know C. N. Keeney as the man who took the string out of the string bean. All his life he has worked over beans. Almost thirty years ago he evolved the first bush beans that were really fit to be eaten: Stringless Green Podded.

DON'T LET WIFE DIE OF LOCKJAW Warn her against cutting corns because they can be lifted out Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from corns. Women then pro ceed to trim these pests, seeking re lief, but they hardly realize the ter rible danger from infection, says a Cincinnati authority. Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store a quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. You simply apply a few drops directly upon the tender, aching corn. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. This is a sticky substance which dries In a moment. It Just shrivels up the corn without Inflaming or even Irritating the surrounding Ussue or skin. Cut this out and pin on your wife's dresser.

It staggers the imagination to picture the effects upon the world if German submarines effectively should starve Great Britain. She would have to give up her fleet. The British em pire is based upon sea power. Sea power is based upon ownership of a great, fleet, and therefore the British empire would disintegrate. Canada, Australia, Egypt, India would be de tached. And if Germany got the Brit ish fleet, what would ge get? Not invasion, for that would not be necessary. We would have to fight for the Monroe Doctrine with every ounce of our energy and power and all our resources. We would have to fight to prevent dictation of commercial terms. Even the grandiose German dream for. some of them had it, of impos ing an indemnity upon the United States to pay for the cost of the war might be faced in terms of actuality. —The World's Work. FIJI ISLAND SATISFIED Suva, Fiji Islands, April s.—Native Fijians who have been dissatisfied be cause their offers to enlist in the Brit ish army for service in the war were declined by the British government, have joyfully welcomed an opportun ity offered to them to go to England and work as laborers on military transports. In response to a call for such laborers, issued by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Henry Marks, a member of the Governor"s Council of the Fiji Islands, has offered to and send at its own expense, a contingent of ' PCft Islanders for transport service.

The production of gold in the Transvaal is relatively less profitable in war than in peace time, owing to the fixed price of gold, and the cost of mining it has been in creased by the rise in other commodi ties. The Transvaal Chamber of Mines, in its yearly return shows that the output of gold was a record ono of 39,484,934 pounds sterling. An in crease in costs reduced the profits from 12,186,100 to 11,881,294 pounds sterl ing. Don't Neglect your stomach. Keep it strong and well.
