BRITISH NEED
MILLION MEN FOR
AFTERTHEWAR
Cabinet Considers Question of
Selective System to Main
tain Large Army
l/Oiidon, Jan. 29.—A special meet
ing of the cabinet held to-day was
attempted by Winston Spencer
Churchill, Sir Eric Geddes, Sir Rob
ert Stevenson Home, the new labor
minister, and Generals Sir Henry
Wilson and Sir William Robertson.
Urgent questions regarding demo
bilization were discussed.
It is understood that the con
ferees reached the conclusion that l
there was no prospect for months to
come of the voluntary enlistment of
sufficient men for the army of occu
pation and the salvage of property
in the war theaters, for properly
garrisoning India, Gibraltar and the ,
I crown colonies, to insure the safety
of the United Kingdom, and safe- j
guard the results of the victory in
I Palestine, Mesopotamia and Turkey,
and that hence it would be neces
sary to adopt some system of se-
I lection, and place the men retained i
:as nearly as possible in the same
I position as they would be in civil life
with regard to pay and other condi
tions.
It is considered that the purposes
above stated, about one million men
would be required, which means,
roughly, that three out of every
four men will be demobilized, and
the fourth retained "to finish the
job." And the idea is to release the
men who have already rendered the
most service to the country. Prob
ably some stipulated date will be
fixed and all the men who joined
the service previous to that will be
demobilized.
It is understood in connection
with the plan that the government
will seek powers compulsory to re
tain the men selected for the cur
rent year. It is said that it may
be taken as settled that there is no
intention of continuing conscrip
tion, but that such compulsory pow
ers are regarded as an essential pre
liminary step .to the reintroduction
of the voluntary system when peace j
is assured.

IS TO SAIL FROM BREST I
Opinion. Prevails That Extra j
Session of Congress May . j
Conic in June
* i
By Associated Press
Paris, Jan. 29.—Much as President
Wilson still hopes to avoid a second
trip to Europe, it begins to look as
if the trend of Peace Conference af
fairs would cause hint to feel im
pelled to recross the Atlantic in the
early spring. The President is wait-1
ing to see what the remaining fifteen
days of his stay in France will bring
1 forth before finally deciding on his
course. I
He is said to have told American
officials that if events indicated thei
need of his return he felt that his
course would be found fully justified
when he addressed Congress, as ho
plans to do almost immediately on
his return to the United States.
Will Sail From Brest
He has abandoned- the idea of re
turning byway of England and
stopping at Oxford to receive the de
gree which that university desires
to confer upon him. If his present
plnns hold, therefore, ho will sail
from Brest on the steamer George
Washington, now on her way to
France, between February 10 and 15,
going direct to the United States.
The steamer will probably take
the southern route, which she fol
lowed on her way over, to avoid bad
weather.
President Wilson's arrival home
j with plans for departing for Europe
| again would bring up the question
| of an extra session of the new Con
| gress with Republican majorities in
j both houses.
i May Call Congress For June
! The best available opinion here
|is that if an extra session should
! be thought inevitable the President
j would call it before his return to
I France, probably setting the date
ahead to sonte time in June, expect
j ing to finish the business of the
j Peace Conference in time to return
ito Washington and be in the White
j House when the new Congress as
' sembled.
First Flyer to Cross

of Industrial Plants
, Aeronautical journals announce
j that over twenty builders of planes

of industrial motion pictures for the'
I Universal Company, has proposed |
to the Aero Club of America, under
whose auspices the flight will be
held, to raise a purse of SIOO,OOO.
Leading business houses will con
tribute a thousand dollare each for
the privilege of having their plant,
officers and product filmed in the
same multiple reel film dipicting the
i preparations, the start, the flight and
j the landing, said films to be shown
I alt over the world. Each flyer wili
! carry a set of films so that the wtr.-
i ner "will actually have the motion
I pictures abroad in his epoch-mak
jing trip.
Mr. Levey says: "American man
| ufacturers are keenly alive to screen
j advertising. One of our clients
j alone has spent over a hundred
I thousand dollars during the past
! year for making and distributing in
j dustrial films of his plant and pro
! duct. A thousand dollars will be
easily forthcoming from each firm
I that wishes world-wide notice for its
| enterprise in having made the trip
possible in subscribing to the purse,
j It is fitting that the aeroplane and

By Associated Press
Paris, Jan. 29.—The official

Device That Finds Oil
Causes $600,000 Suit
New York, Jan. 28.—A little box
that is said to point out oil wells.
Just as the "divining rod" or peach
tree limb is supposed to find water
veins, is the cause of contention in
a suit filed In the Supreme Court in
volving more than $3,000,000.
The court papers refe v r to the de
vice merely as a "radium instru
ment." Walter Carroll bow. attor
ney for Hugo J. von Hagen, owner
of the oil finder, told a reporter that
the device was a small box with a
dial, about which a hand revolved.
"1 have been informed that if the
instrument is being carried on a
train going at the rate of sixty miles
an hour and it passes over an oil
deposit the hand will wiggle like
mad." said the lawyer.
Dr. von Hagen. a mining expert, is
suing Karl J. Schumacher, said to
be a buyer for the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, for $600,000. He
says that in May, 1917, he entered
into an oral agreement with Schu
macher to allow him the use of the
"radium Instrument" in finding oil
wells.
The defendant used the magic box
in finding oil on twenty different
tracts of 23,704 acres, the complaint
alleges and that the oil found on
these tracts exceeds $3,000,000 in
value.
TO TRAIN route
Policemen of the city will meet at
the Y. M. C. A. several times a month

nounced last night, by physical direc
tor C. W. Miller. Last night they

NO COLD WAVE
INSIGHT, SAYS
WEATHERMAN
Farmers Plowing and Putting
Out Early Crops in Balmy
Atmospheres
"Like a dust whirl in the street; I
like Finnegan—off again, on again"
is the way Forecaster Demain to
day described our present weather,
and he offered no solution to the
strangely summer-like conditions,
excepting I hat storms after storms
in Canada, with low barometer,
keep down the western cold, thus
giving us such salubrious spring
days. To-night the thermometer will
drop down to about 25 degrees
above zero, dust a little below freez
ing, but the week promises to be
warm, like yesterday, and there is no
indication of a cold snap. The mis
guided person who hiked to Florida
might as well have stayed north,
but then, what's the use of lucre if
you do not spend it.
Speaking for faryters, Mr. Follen
berger, assistant manager of the
Hershey farm, gave the glad hand
to all farmers, predicting that this
mild weather would mean millions
to tillers of the soil. "We have been
plowing since December and spread
ing fertilizers, and now, no matter
how -cold it gets, the farmers who
did likewise will be away ahead of
the game. Next year should be a
record breaker. The mild weather
is grand for corn and oats; the
wheat could stand a little snow, but
it will only be a bit later coming on.
Onions? Sure, they're planting them,
and many other vegetables. The
ground is in fine condition, and
Pennsylvania is getting a prime start
on the season."
Weather expert, Mr. Demain, says
that even if we do get a cold "spell"
it cannot last long, for June 21 is
the shortest day of the year, mark
ing midsummer and comin' along.
DIAMONDS ARK EPKXSIVK \
• Chicago.—"lt is impossible," said
a jeweler, "to give the exact price ]
of diamonds per carat on the mar
ket. This is because of the great
difference in the quality of the
stones. Any diamond buyer will tell
you that every diamond he pur
chases is an individual trade prob
lem. The best dinmonds are from
the Jagersfontein mines in South
Africa. The stones from the Wes
selton mine rank next on tho mar
ket. Most of the real blue-white
diamonds come from these mine*.
Diamonds are grouped in the trade
according to quality as top-crystals,
crystals, top silver-capes, silver
capes, top-capes, capes and by-wa
ters. By-waters are the cheapest
yellow diamonds. You can buy
them perhaps for SIOO a carat now.
Good diamonds, however, sell now
for from $250 to SSOO a carat. But,
as I said, diamonds are individual
problems and some sell for much
more per carat. I have just sold
a Jaegersfontein stone of four and
a half carats—a pure blue-white—
for $11,000."

TO GUARANTEE
1919 WHEAT PRICE
Food Administration Would
Appropriatc $1,2.10,000,000
For This Purpose
WashingC'ii, Jan. 29.—An admin
istration btl* appropriating $1,250,-
000,000 to enable the government to
carry out l*. * guarantee to the far
mer of a price of $2.20 a bushel for
the 1919 wheat crop was transmitted
to the chairmen of the Senate and
House agriculture committee late
yesterday by the food administra
tion
The measure, which was drawn
by officials of the food administra
tion and the Department of Agricul
ture, was described by some sena
tors as an omnibus measure which
would permit the President to con
tinue the food administration in
operation and to exercise all of the
powers conferred upon him by the
food control act.
Senator Gore, chairman of the
Senate committee, announced that
he would not introduce the measure
in the Senate.
"It is b.oader than I think is
necessary," he declared. "1 may take
it as a basis tfor another bill which
I may introduce."
Under the bil *as drawn, govern
ment authority to control, grain
dealers, millers and elevators "by
license or other Ikie powers" would
be continued and the Presiifent
would be authorized to "create any
agency or agencies" to buy the 1918
and 1919 wheat crops, "wheat
products and other foodstuffs and
feeds" at the guaranteed prices,
regulate export and import of
wheat; require preferential railroad
service as long as the railroads are
under government control; control
grain exchanges and prohibit trad
ing upon them "at such time as
may be deemed desirable or proper
to meet market conditions and com
petitive prices of foreign grown
wheat."
