PAGE EIGHT THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM FRIDAY, JAN. 3, 1919. JAKER ADVISES PURCHASING OF U.S. CAMP SITES Meat Canning Urged as Conservation Measure (By Associated Press) LAFAYETTE. 1 Ind., Jan. 3. Meat canning during the farm butchering season in Indiana will be taken up ex tensively during the next few weeks as a food conservation. measure. Meat has been canned to some extent in In diana during the past few winters, but not in large amounts. By pre serving the surplus meat in cans fresh meat is available on the farm all summer. A leaflet. No. 204, on the topic is now ready for distribution by the home economics section at Pur due university. Experts In the best methods of can ning meat say several things must be kept in mind. Among them are the meats must be in perfect condition; cold pack process must be employed; glass cans should be used, but if tin is used, the cans should be new; rub bers should be of good quality and care should be taken to see that all cans seal tightly. Full directions are contained in the leaflet for canning chicken, beef, pork and rabbit. ' Would Cost About $12,000, 000 to Acquire Sites Al ready Approved. , WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. Secretary Taker said today he intended to seek the views of congress on the question of purchasing the land on which army cantonments are located. He said the War Department thought some of these ramps should be made perman pnt and that It would cost about $12. 500,000 to acquire the sites already approved for this purpose. The mat ter will be brought up by the secretary when he appears tomorrow before the House military committee. Secretary Baker would not disclose what training camp sites had been rec ommended by the general staff for per manent retention. Se said specifically, however, that the disposition of flying fields was not now involved. The secretary indicated that this program had no relation to recommen dations that may be made at some fu ture time with respect to the perman ent military policy. Since there is to be a military establishment in any ease, he said, the acquisition of sev eral of the cantonment sites irould be of benefit to the Bervice. He added that they could be used for summer mobilizations or for divisional or even larger maneuvers as existing perman ent facilities for the army do not pro vide any post where the quarters or grounds are extensive enough for these purposes. War College Plan Framed. Within the next few days, Mr. Baker said, the army war college will com plete the army reorganization bill up-1 ies of meetings for wmcn programs have been arranged by a commiuee appointed by the Ministerial Associa tion. It is requested that the follow ing program for the week be cut out and preserved by all who will attend the meetings. Each meeting will be gin at 7:30 o'clock and end at 8:30. The program follows: Monday First Presbyterian church Chapman Memorial Service. Devo tional service. J. S. Hill. "Early Life and Character." R. L. Seman. "Chap man the Evangelist", E. E. Davis. Tuesday First English Lutheran church Theme, "Mobilizing the Church for her Task." Devotional ser vice, C. It. Isley. Speakers, H. L. Over- ' deer and J. J. Rae. Wednesday First M. E. church Theme, "Assets and Liabilities of the War." Devotional service, J. R. Webb. Speakers, A. F. Mitchell and F. A. Dressel. Thursday South Eighth St. Friends church Theme, "A United Church for a Common Task." Devotional ser vice, L. P. Pfeifer. Speakers, C. M. Woodman and S. C. Lee. Friday Grace M. E. church Theme "Church Federation." Devotional Ber vice, H. S. James. Speaker, L. E. Murray. .'" The meeting of delegates from the several churches to decide the ques tion of a church federation for Rich mond, will be held at the close of the Friday evening service at the same place. If the decision is favorable the organization will be effected. The prayer meeting service will be short to give time for this meeting. The president of the Ministerial associa tion will preside WEEK OF PRAYER TO BE OBSERVED BY CITY CHURCHES The union "Week of Prayer" which was inaugurated a number of years am hv h Christian Alliance, and which has been adopted as an annual occasion by the Christian churches throughout the country, will be held as usual during the week following the first Monday in January. The first service Monday evening will be in the form of a memorial to Dr. Wilbur Chapman, who died recent ly in New York city. Following tnis opening service there will be a ser- on which it has been working and he will then seek hearings before the military committee to take up the proposals. It is now understood that the war college bill embodies the gen eral staff and departmental reorgani zation plans in addition to the neces Rary legislative provisions under which tables of organization for the regular army can be issued, but there is nothing to indicate that that goes beyond the regular army or touches the question of permanent military policy. It has been held at the War Department that this cannot be pre sented until proceedings at Versailles have gone far enough to show what military force it would be wise of the United States to have always avail able for quick mobilization. Many auxiliary services and units were created during the war for which there is no authority in the regular military statutes. The new act will cive opportunity for these to be given permanent status and also will state lhe views of the army itself as to the stress to be laid upon such new branches of the military establishment the air service. Incidentally, the whole question of the future of the . irmy air service, whether it is to con ;inue as a separate branch or be again jmalgamated with the signal corps, will be taken up and it is anticipated that while the aerial forces will not b again placed under any other arm :f the service, radical changes in the xisting emergency organization will be proposed. With the presentation of the reor ganization bill the congressional com mittees will be told of the detailed ex penditures to be made up under the appropriations already submitted. These provide for a regular army of Salf a million men, roughly, but the Mtimates do not show the importance that is to be attached hereafter to such services as the tank corps, artil lery, aircraft, transportation corps, chemical warfare service or any other illied branch of the army. i SEVEN CENT CAR FARE CAUSE OF RIOT AT DENVER (By Associated Press) DENVER. Colo., Jan. 3. After the street car service had been completely suspended for six and a half hours here last night because of demonstra tions by crowds of men and boys who objected to the collection of a seven centfare, service was resumed early today on regular schedules. Whether it would continue depended, company officials said, on adequate police pro tection. Dewey C. Bailey, city manager of public safety, said "the police had been instructed to prevent destruction of property or injury to trainmen but the city would not undertake to assist the company to collect the Increased fare. The trouble last night began when homeward bound workmen in the stock yards district refused to pay more than a five cent fare, ejected the trainmen and ran the cars into the city. As incoming cars reached the business district they became stalled and within an hour every car in the city was lined up on downtown streets. The seven cent fare which was ap proved by the state public ultilitles commission although opposed by the city officials, was put into effect De cember 26, the company contending the increase was necessary to meet the wage award recently granted by the war labor board. For several weeks a six cent fare had been in ef fect with th approval of both the state utilities commission and the city council but the company officials con tended this was insufficient to cover the operating expenses.

GERMAN OFFICER HELPED TO REMOVE MINES AT BRUGES - "'- ; By Associated Press) BRUGES, Jan. 3 Citizens of Bruges were greatly puzzled after the signing of the armistice by the presence of a German Joff icer in full regalia in and about the city. This officer was at times accompanied by two Belgian offi cers of the second section of the Bel gian general staff, but more often he was in command of ten or twelve Ger man prisoners of war. He appeared to do pretty nearly what he pleased, no control apparently being exercised over his activities. For several days his work centered In Bruges, the post office, city hall and railroad station in turn being visited by him and his soldiers. Some unfavorable comment was heard because this German was allow ed to dine at one of the leading hotels, and murmurs became so loud that af ter a few days a makeshift uniform was provided for him, It looked like a combination of Russian, German, English uniforms but speculation as to the identity and business of the German persisted. It is now known that this man saved Bruges from destruction. He was the officer who, during hostilities was in charge of the work of mining the town and the Zeebrugge docks, bridges, etc. After the signing of the armistice he volunteered to remove the caps from the mines. It was dangerous work Several prisoners were called in to aid. Some of the mines were timed to explode ten or twelve days after, the departure of the troops.
