DANIELS SAYS DRAFT AGE

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 2. Secretary Ba
ker today at a hearing before the
House military committee in confiden
tial session asked that congress grant
unlimited power for the creation of an
army of whatever size necessary to
prosecute the war. He told the com
mittee Jt would be ill-advised to res
trict the number of men to be utilized
and that the size of the army should
be increased in the discretion of the
government, as transportation and
equipment facilities warrant.
Secretary Baker indicated that he
would submit a proposed measure,
probably as an amendment to the
draft law, to grant the unlimited au
thority asked.
Secretary Baker was questioned by
he committee i-egrding his v;ws as
to increasing the draft age. He said
he was si wivin? the subject and had
made no decision.

"Let us not think in terms of fixec

all of these men will be on the, field in

between the ages of 21 and 31 to wiu

and men 40 and 50, if need be, will

Concord, May 1. A warrant for the
arrest of Otto Schumann, an interned
enemv alien, charging him with the
murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, was
ssued here today. The warrant al
leges that Mrs. King was killed by a
bullet fired at Gaston B. Means. The
death of Mrs. King occurred at Black
welder spring, near here, last August.
The local prosecuting attorney, who
caused the warrant to be issued, stat
ed two persons claim to have seen
Schumann hurrying away from Black
welder spring after Mrs. King was
shot.
The warrant was issued by Police
Justice A. B. Palmer, upon affidavit
of M. H. Caldwell, attorney for Gas
con B. Means in the notable trial last
fall. Mr. Caldwell, who is prosecut
ing attorney for the city of Concord,
issued a lengthy statement today set
ting forth what he "expects to prove."
He says that in July, 1917, following
Means' severance of his relations with
German interests, he called upon the
representatives of these interests in
New York in connection with profits
Mrs. King and himself "had in the
custody of these interests, derived
from the shipments of rubber and
copper to Germany" long prior to the
declaration of war by the United
States, Means' profits in these trans
actions amounting to about $85,000
and Mrs. King's to about $145,000.
In this :'iiterview with the German
interests, 'Mr. Caldwell says Means
told them he was going to offer his
services to his own government, and
that these interests knew that he had
full knowledge of how the German
government had been able to gets its
requirements of rubber and copper,
and that Otto Schumann, "at the di
rection of the German interests with
whom Means had his interview," fol
lowed him out of New York to North
Carolina and then followed him and
Mrs. King on a motorcycle on their
several automobile trips during the
two weeks just prior to Mrs. King's
death.
On the evening of August 29, says
Mr. Caldwell's statement. Otto Schu
mann, on a motorcycle, followed Mean,
and Mrs. King and others of the par
ty to Blackwelder spring, where Mrs.
King was killed, and that an unnamed
man and woman saw and recognized
Schumann leave his motorcycle in the
wood's and walk to the underbrush on
the hill just above the spring; shortly
thereafter they heard a shot near the
spring and a few moments later saw
bchumann return ana mount his mo
torcycle and speed away. Mr. Cald
well alleges that this wias the motor
cycle which 'Witnesses at the Means
trial testified they saw neaisthe time
of the shooting, from their residence
near the spring. He alleges that this
explains the "eye witness" which C.
B. Ambrose was expected to produce
at the trial, but who never appeared.
Means was acquitted of the murder
of Mrs. King at the end of a notable
trial of three weeks here last December.

HEAVY THIS MORNING
British Have Been Holding This
Line, Guarding Direct Route ;.o
Important Railway Lines.
(By Associated Press.)
The Germans- are displaying in
creased activity on the Somme battle
front and around Montdidier salient
to Noyon, probably in preparation for
a renewal of the offensive in this area.
Checked last week by the stiff Brit
ish and Franco-American resistance
in attempting to push further toward
Amiens the enemy forces are now en
gaged . in trying out various portions
of the southern front in an apparent
endeavor to find a weak spot. Last
night they made a thrust at the Brit
ish in the Themmes region southwest
of Hangard. Theartillery-probably
broke up this drive. Z.
This morning the German guns op
ened rather heavily in the" Villers
Brettonneux area just north and di
rect east of Amiens but no infantry
attacks developed up to the time the
official British ' statement was issued
at noon.
Meanwhile the lull that followed the
severe German defeat Monday con
tinues in Flanders. Only the artillery
has displayed activity there.
The German guns were reported as
opening up sontewhat of a spirited fire
this morning in the region of Merris,
indicating the possibility of a renewal
of the German effort on the northern
front. When it comes it may, develop
along the Bailleul-Hezebrouck road in
which Merritt marks the farthest
westward advance of. the enemy. The
British have been holding this Hn
strongly, as it guards the direct route
to vital important Hazebrouek railway

Winston-Salem, April 30. -Nothing

a letter from ithe Treasury Depart
ment at Waslbdngton to State Head
quarters for War Savings yesterday.
This staetment was made when it be
came ttnown at National Headquar
ters that the request had ibeen made
by representatives of the Red Cross
of several (State Directors that War
Savings activities be discontinued un
til after the iRed Cross drive in- May.
iMr. Vanderlip lhas sent out the fol
lowing telegram in regard to this
matter: "We understai! that some

postpone War Savings activities until
after the Red Cross' drive. Although
we wish every possible success to the

The iNaitiomal War Savings Com
mittee makes the reply that it wants
to be thoroughly co-operative with the
Red Cross, and similar impfortant Na
tional organizations, but it would be
disastrous to the War Savings Cam
paign, .an important phase of the Gov
