U.S. ARMY WILUBE
EASY FOR KAISER,
GERMANY IS TOLD
General Staff Officer Doubts
That America Will Send
Troops to Europe
Amsterdam, Oct. 18. —The Weser
Zeitung (Bremen) publishes an arti
cle by Major Hoffe, of the German
general staff, on the effect the en
trance of the United States will have
on the war. After reviewing tho dif
ficulties of the United States in train
ing and transporting troops to Eu
rope, he declares that the American
military possibilities may be safely
Ignored by Germany.
"Before the declaration of war,"
he says, "the military resources of
the United States consisted of an in
sufficiently trained Regular Army of
only 100,000 and a National Guard of
120,000, hardly trained at all. The
various measures taken to increase
the Army will result in the forma
tion by spring of an army of about
1,400,000, which has only received
minimum training.
"No considerable part of this army
can reach Europe before summer,
while, in any case, a large number
must be. retained at home; so that
not more than 400,000 or 500,000 men
can be sent to Europe. The trans
port difficulties will be enormous.
Two and a half million tons of ship
ping will bo necessary to transport
and supply sixteen divisions, and the
total American shipping even allow
ing for confiscated ships and new
construction will by spring be only
4,000,000, of which the Navy requires
2,500,000.
"Any extensive transport of Ameri
can troops would cause serious diffi
culties in supplies to England and
France. It must be remembered also
that the U-boats are sinking more
and more ships daily.
"Finally, the fighting: value of the
American troops is not great, proba
bly about equal to that of the Ruma
nians, and there certainly will be
fewer of them than of Rumanians.
So, Germany will have )an easy task.
In fact, it is doubtful whether the
Americans will risk the venture of
sending an army to Europe at all.
"Th£ only American help to be seri
ously reckoned with is in the air.
Fliers can be quickly trained and
eaMly transported, but the German
command has taken oil necessary
measures to meet this danger. The
new enemy directs his efforts less
against the German army than
against the nerves of the German
people and against the infernal unity
of Germany."
Magnesia Baths
For Indigestion!
J Doctor HrrommcDdi Them In Place
j of Drugs, Pepaln, Soda or
j Artificial Dlgestenta
, "Only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion and dys
pepsia can fully realize the harm done
by the improper use of artificial di
gestents or drugs like pepsin or soda
pills and tablets in the treatment of
stomach trouble,' declares a well
known physician.
In fully nine cases out of ten di
gestive trouble is caused by an excess
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
which sours and ferments the food,
creating gas on the stomach and often
causing intense pain or burning.
The forcing or food from stomach
to intestines with artificial digestents
In such a case is almost criminal folly
as serious intestinal indigestion may
very easily follow. Instead the stom
ach should be given a magnesia bath
to clean out the acids, sweeten the
food contents, soothe and allay inflam
mation and irritation of the stomach
walls and thus permit the normal
healthy digestion of the food.
You can give your acid inflamed
stomach no finer treatment than a
magnesia bath. It is simple, easy and
pleasant to take, cannot injure the
stomach and is not at all expensive.
Just get a small bottle of Bisurated
Magnesia (either tablets or powder)
from your druggist, put a teaspoonful
of the powder or two tablets In a glass
of water and drink it at every meal
for a few days and your stomach will
act and feel fine. It must be under
stood that I do not advise the use of
such forms of magnesia as citrates,
acetates, sulphates, milks or lump
magnesia. One of these might do
more harm than good. I believe that
nothing but pure hUurated mnicneitla
should be used to neutralize an acid
stomach. This form is not difficult
to obtain. The best druggists have It
and in the bisurated tablet or powder
form it will Instantly neutralize stom
ach acidity and insure painless, natural
digestion for even chronic sufferers
from stomach troubles.

Collins Gives Decision. Deputy
Attorney General Collins today gave
an opinion to the Board of Opto
metrical Examiners to the effect
that the provision in the act which
entitles a person to take the stand- !
ard examination who at the time of j
the passa'ge of the act was actually
engaged in the practice of optomet
ry, does not apply to one whose
practice was limited to such as he
may have had in connection with the
course of instruction in some school
giving a course in the actual prac-1
tice of optometry, but Is to be con
strued to apply only to those who
were actually engaged in the prac

Turn Out Much More
Work in a Week
Steelton Red Cross Society is fast
filling its quota of knitted goods for
the National Red Cross. Seven boxes
of materials were shipped early in
and two yesterday. In this
Peek's shipments were three boxes of
knitted goods, four boxes of pajamas
and two boxes of pajamas. This
week's shipment was larger than for
sometime.
Sixty-nine comfort kits for Steelton

Meade, were sent yesterday. This in
cluded twenty-four Kits ror aliens and
the remainder for Americans.
the first information was received by
Sergeant Reagan, the aliens had not
been accepted for federal service but
news received yesterday was to the
effect that all the local men were now
in the federal service.
Sew by Eleetrleity
Since three electric motors were
attached to sewing machines at the
headquarters a few days ago much
more work is turned out. By means
of the motors the amount of work
turned out on the machines is prac

device proved that several mpre will
be attached in a few day*. There
are now nine machines at the head
quarters.
At yesterday's sewing there were
sixty women working. This is the
largest number at work for some
time and the appeal for workers has
been heeded by the women. Efforts
will be made to make a large ship
ment of goods next week.
An appeal for enough feathers to
make four pillows was made by the
officers of the sqciety this morning.
Enough feathers were donated to
make four pillows but a like amount
is yet needed. The society could also
use large amounts of odds and ends
of yarn that are not used in some of
the higher grade knitting that has
been the craze for several months.
It does not matter the color length
or grade the material is, it will be
used in blankets for soldiers.

NEW DRAFT PUN
TAKES MEN WITH
NO DEPENDANTS
Would Classify Men With
Wives and Children and
of Industrial Value
Washington. Oct. 18.—A compre-
hensive new plan for applying the
Army selecUve draft which would
take first men only without dependant
and of no particular value to war
industries and establish various
grades of dependency and industrial
value from which future drafts would
be made strictly on the selective basis
has been worked out tentatively by
the Provost Marshal General's office
and discussed with the President.
Te plan, it was learned to-day
was submitted recently to a confer
ence of civilians \yho directed ex
emption board activities In a number
of states and received the indorse
ment of most of them, who are dis
cussing the proposed plan with their
state governors.
It is proposed to formulate In each
local draft district a table of all reg
istrants, placing each in a column
denoting his dependants and indus
trial value in the war's prosecution.
Based on Dependency
For instance, horizontal columns or
classifications would be based on
dependency. Men with no depend
nnts would be placed in the first
class, those with dependent distant
relatives in the second class, those
with wives in the third class, those
with a wife and one child in the
fourth, and so on.
Similarly the vertical columns
might represent certain industries ar
ranged according to their respective
merit as war necessities. Industrial
classes under consideration in this
connection are farmers, shipyard em
ployes, munition workers, railway
and transportation employes, miners,
steel plant and motor industry work
men and certain other individual
plants or industry branches to be
designated from time to time by the
President or the War Department as
temporarily essential. The latter
classification might include plants
making military clothing, harness,
first aid materials, or professions
such as chemists and other scientific
men more needed for war research
than to carry arms.
Take Class by Class
Thus the table with horizontal de
pendency classifications and vertical
industrial classifications would hold
a place for each registrant in accord
ance with his dependency or indus
trial value claims. In selecting men
for examination, boards would first
take all men physically fit, having
neither dependants or value in es
sential war industries. When this
class was exhausted, draft authori
ties would draw on the class having
the slightest dependency claim and
the least value in essential industries.
Theoretically the draft would work
down through the table, to the class
es with most dependants and highest
industrial value.
No class would be exempted as
such, but the valuable men would be'
placed so that they would not be
called until the need for soldiers be
came urgent and all the less essential
classes were exhausted.
The plan involves a determination
by the government of what indus
tries are the most valuable, and this
is Riving officials considerable dif
ficulty. Farmers' organizations, ship
ping hoard Officials .and shipbuilders,
munition makers, railroad heads,
coal operators and many others are
insisting on the prime importance of
their own employes in civil work,
l'laii to Examine All

an appropriation which cannot be ob

CASTE AND MISSIONS.
Randolph IJ. Howard, a mission
ary In Burma, in an address before
the students of the Burmese Theo
logical Seminary, attributed the com
parative success of missionary work
In Burma to the absence of caste,
which forms such a formidable ob
stacle to the efforts of the white
worker in India. In Burma, the
Christian missionary lias free access
to the native homes, where women
are not secluded, but enjoy if any
thing more liberty than their sisters
In Europe. Notwithstanding the
handicap of caste, or perhaps on ac
count of it, the Christian "mass"
movement in India is progressing by
leaps and bounds.—The Christian
Herald.

increment of a million men, and
could be extended down the present
liability lists as fast as funds were
made available.
War Department officials explain
that t e program is far from com
plete, and warn that many changes
may be made In the program as
drafted now. They say, however, that
some double classification system
seems imperative for future draft
calls.

disappear altogether, thus ending a
cough that you never thought would
end. It also promptly loosens a dry

membranes that lino the throat and
bronchial tubes, and Telief comes al
