16 CUPS INSTEAD
OF 32 DECIDED Oil
War Department Will Reduce
Number of Barracks and Use
Tents Wherever Possible.
STRAIN ON FUNDS FEARED
Changes in Plans Are Xot Iikely
to Delay Mobilization Later
Than September 1 Guard
'y to Be Drafted Shortly.
WASHINGTON. Jun 1. Important
revisions In the plans for training the
war Army have been made by the War
Department, which announced today
that the half-million men to be called
to the colors in September will be con
centrated In 16 cantonments instead of
82. and that many of the forces prob
ably would be put into tents instead of
wooden barracks.
Lack of funds, material, labor and
transportation facilities. Secretary
Baker, said, were determining influ
ences in the decision to reduce the
number of cantonments. The previous
plan to build 32 of the camps was
reached, it was explained, after Con
press .had appropriated $77,000,000 on
the theory that there would be only
16. For a time the larger number
seemed practicable, but that would
have made a much greater demand on
the overtaxed resources at the De
partment's command.
September Mobilization Date.
Although the change will upset all
the tentative plans for camp locations
made by department commanders, it is
not expected to delay beyond Septem
ber 1 the mobilization of the great
draft" Army. Four of the 16 canton
ment sites provided for under the
new plan already have been selected,
and choice of the others is expected
soon. Secretary Baker Indicated that
building would proceed as rapidly as
possible. The four sites selected are
at American Lake, Wash.; Atlanta, Ga,;
Ayre, Mass., and Wrightstown, N. S.
A more plentiful supply of canvas
than expected made it possible to put
some of the troops under tents. A can
vas shortage was largely responsible
for the original plan to bouse the
Army in wooden barracks, for Army
officials have preferred tenting from
the start. Most of the tents used prob
ably will be placed at Southern camps.
Gnard May Have Teats.
In making the announcement. Secre
tary Baker said also that forces in ex
cess of those which could be cared for
in the 16 cantonments would be placed
under canvas. This was taken as re
ferring to National Guard divisions,
although the Military Bureau has re
ceived no instructions In this regard.
There is no indication of an Intention
to alter the plans for formation of 1
divisions of the guard. The question of
filling these up to war strength prob
abl ywlll not be seted until selection
of men for military service in the draft
army begins.
It is possible that It will be found
better at that time, if the state foris
have not been recruited to full strength,
to consolidate Into a smaller number of
divisions,' but under the law either the
regulars or guard can be filled up with
men fr omthe selected lists is that is
desired.
Meantime the National 5uard units
of the Kastern portion of the country
will be drafted into the Federal armies
on July 15. The guard already has a
considerable supply of tentage. and the
machinery of the Council of National
efense is at work endeavoring to ob
tain enough for all forces with little
delay.
60,000 Are Doing Police.
All of the Guard units will have been
drafted into service by August 6. That
toes not mean, however, that all will
have been ordered to divisional train
ing camps at that time.- Presumably
the best equipped and recruited forces
will be made ready first for duty
abroad, but there has been no an
nouncement as to the process to be
followed.
More than 0,000 guardsmen now are
engaged in police work, guarding
bridges, factories and other structures
and that work will have to be kept up.
The task of building a cantonment
is a big one. Miles of roads, water,
sewer and light construction must be
put in. More than 2000 buildings must
he erected In each camp and railway
connections must be established. To
begin the simultaneous construction of
32 such cities, officials feel, would have
been more than the resources of the
flepartment or of the country could
have borne without seriously inter
rupting the ordinary course of cord
jnercial life.

government for the last half century,
he pointed out, has been performed
with that end In view.
He dealt in plain terms in censuring
those American people who have
viewed the duty of the country lit tha
present crisis with apathy or indif
ference. Debt Date Prmec,
He appealed for America to pay the
debt of gratitude It owes to France for
the gallant service rendered by Lafay
ette and the French soldiers in the
colonists' struggle for independence,
and aroused enthusiastic applause
when he declared:
"The place for the Stars and Stripes
right now Is in the trenches with the
tri-color of France."
He recalled . that when Cornwallls
surrendered his sword to Washington
at Torktown, Lafayette shared the
ceremony.
"But to the very last," he continued,
"this noble hero said that his heart
was divided between love of the Re
public of France and love of the Amer
ican Republic - i
"Not less striking the debt we owe
France for her ships, her soldiers and
her gold. In 1781, when once more our
fortunes were at a low ebb. Count
Rochamheau, admiral of the French
navy, organized a fleet of two battle-,
ships, three destroyers and 38 -transports
and brought to this country 6000
French soldiers, a cargo of munitions.
4owder, shot, muskets, cannon, shoes,
clothing and medical supplies.
In every age wars are fought by
money and by food. And in that crisis.
when r ranee had sent us weapons and
food, .the Government made a loan to
the United States, all of which was
repaid with interest. But in addition
came a multitude of advances by-
private citizens, aggregating hundreds
of millions of dollars. Many of the
French soldiers were killed in the cam
paign in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Virginia.
Later the French government under
took the support of these soldiers'
widows and orphans. But when the
French Navy returned home they sailed
by the way of Jamaica, where they
were attacked by the British fleet and
many of the vessels were either cap
tured or sunk. Outside of the loan
which we repaid to the French gov
ernment, were the losses through
private loans, the loss of ships, which
are believed to have aggregated a total
not far from 1400,000,000.
America Owes France Much.
now oiack Is the sin of ingratitude!
vVhat generosity France, rich France,
showed- our poverty-stricken republic!
What treasure of lives and money It
lavished upon our liberties! Franca
slit her veins and poured out blood as
rich red rain upon the roots of our tree
of liberty and made the blossoms
thereof crimson and beautiful for us
and for our children. In return, to
day we owe France our greatest gen
eral, our best admiral we owe her
soldiers, sailors, guns, cannon, food, a
billion or more money.
"Every consideration urges us " to
pledge to France our fortunes, our lives
and our sacred honor. The French
Ambassador in his book, 'Rochambeau
and the French in America.' has made
it clear that the French people have,
during all the vicissitudes of revolu
tion and during the era of the
Napoleons, ever remained true to her
ideal of our republic and have found
in our free Institutions the fulfillment
of her own hopes of liberty, equality
and fraternity.
Kataer'n Scheme Bread.
Dr. Hillis reviewed with horrifying
detail the plan of the Kaiser and his
advisers for extending the- German do
minion over the whole world, as re
vealed in official documents discovered
since the war began.
"It was in 1894." he said, "that the
Kaiser and his associates first put
Into the hands ox their leaders the
pan-German scheme, with its motto,
"From Hamburg to the Persian Gulf.
Tn 1 SI 1 the X3nn..- Arrr.nn T Tn i rn rmh.
lished a Second series of maps, with
military and political plana, bringing
up to date the scheme for a German
empire beginning at Hamburg and end
ing at the Persian Gulf. While the
headquarters of the Pan-German Union
were in Berlin, subordinate organiza
tions were formed in all the large Ger
man cities. The maps and plans as
given out in 1894 run the- German
frontier line around Denmark. Holland,
Belgium, the Iron provinces of North
era France, the German province of
North Switzerland; they make Austria
Hungary to be an ally state of equal
rank with Prussia, but in the plan as
published in 1911 the Kaiser places
German military heads in control of the
Austrian and Turkish armies, while
the southern lines of the Pan-German
empire include all of the Balkan States,
the Kaiser's sister's state of Greece,
with all of Asia Minor and Persia.
"So carefully was the plan wrought
out, so perfect were the details, that
today should the war close, as some
wish, nine-tenths of all the pan-German
scheme would have been achieved.
Today Brussels, Ostend and Namur are
German cities; today German cannon
are within 60 miles of Paris; today
Germany has Poland. Lithuania, Rou
manla, the small Balkan States. Aus
tria. Turkey, Armenia and Southern
Persia."
Mr. Chamberlain emphasized the Im
portant part that the small investor
is to play in financing the war.
"It is absolutely essential," he said
"that a large part. If not the larger
part, of this. $2,000,000,000 liberty loan
is to be taken by the private investor.'
Small Investor Must Boy.
If the corporations and financial In
stitutions are allowed to buy too much,
he pointed out, much of the money
that is needed In the ordinary channels
of business will be diverted and the
National prosperity will suffer.
"However, when the individual buys
a liberty loan and pays for it out of
his earnings, whether in one payment
or by Installments, he is not only re
lieving the larger business Units of
that much of the burden, but at the
same time he is laying- aside capital
which will bring htm a certain and
regular eeml-aitnual return in interest,-
and he is providing the Govern
ment with money without putting a
strain upon any part of the business
structure, and finally, he is converting
a part of his current income from more
or less unnecessary, and perhaps
wasteful expenditure, to the most use
ful National service, namely, expendi
tures directly for war purposes.
Bond Buying Made Easy.
"The Government Is doing every
thing possible to make bond buying
easy for the citizen, however humble.
The bonds may be bought in amounts
as low as $50, and yet, of course. In
safety and the rate of interest and in
every other desirable Investment qual
ity, the $50 bond is, the same as the
11000 bond. The Government also per
mits the bonds to be bought on the
installment plan, payments to be 2
per cent upon application, 18 .per cent
Jime 28, 20 per cent July 30, 30 per cent
August 15 and 30 per cent August 30.
To buy the liberty bonds is not oniy
a duty to one's country in this crisis,
but it is the highest wisdom. To buy
the bonds is simply to lend the Gov
ernment the purchase money for 30
years at 3 per cent, although the
Government has the right to pay it
back in 15 years. To buy the bonds is
to become a creditor of the Government
and to receive interest each June 15
and December 15 from the Government
either in the form of a check, if regis
tered bonds are bought, or in the iorm
of money If coupon bonds are bought,
and the coupons cut semi-annually and
cashed like a cheque at any bank.
"To lend money to the Government
now is not only a duty but a wise in
vestment. An ideal investment is one
that is, first, absolutely sare; secona.
that yields a good and steady income;
third, is so well known and appreciated
that it can always be disposed of In
stantly for cash at a price approxi
mately equal to what it costs, and
fourth, that has a good chancer of in
creasing in actual cash value.
While the alternoon meeting was
primarily for the Interest of women,
many men attended. Mrs. Dabis pre
sided in the absence of Mrs. Isaac Arfe
Patterson, who was unavoidably pre
vented from being present. Other
women seated on the stage with the
speakers were: Mrs. C. B. Simmons,
president of the Portland Woman's
Club; Mrs. A. Bernstein, president of
the Council of Jewish women; Mrs.
Alva Lee Stephens, retiring president
of the Council of Parent-Teacher Asso

elect of the Council of Parent-Teacher
Associations; Mrs. Robert c. irrencn,

and Mrs. Robert G. Dieck. president of
the Visiting Nurse Association.
Many bankers and business men, as
well as a large number of women, at
tended last night's meeting, which was
held primarily for the interest of the
men.
Dr. Hillis and Mr. Chamberlain left
last night for Tacoma, where they will
continue their patriotic work. They
will remain en tour until June 15, when
subscriptions close. They are accom
