WASHINGTON. March 4 -Defense of the national Qerman-Amerlcan Alliance was made by members of state branches before the senate committee holding a hearing on the King bill to revoke the alliances char'er for alleged disloyalty. Theodore Sutro, of New York, former president of the New York state alliance, disclaimed responsibility of the organization for utterances of individual members and repudiated statements of Dr. C. J Hexamer, of Philadelphia, former president "Presidents of societies are often very foolish, Sutro declared when asked by Senator King If he approved a statement attrlbuceo to Dr Hexamer, In a speech in Milwaukee in 1915, that the alliance was of such political power that It could dominate communities where It was well organized Pro-German articles appearing In the official bulletin of the alliance were repudiated by Sutro. who declared the alliance should not be held to account for what appeared In the publication. Issues of the War. ‘We are at war agf^lnat Gorman war, and not against German peace and German actii. voments,” Mr. Sutro Said. He added that he did not subscribe to the vjerman view of large standing armies and did not believe in the idea of nonassimilation of German Immigrants. However, he thought it improper for Americans to ask persons of German birth to der • their ancestry. Mr Sutro did not believe that the alliance. as a n-’tlonal OKgonIzatlon, could participate in political affairs generally, but declared there is nothi .g In the charter tp prohibit a state al'lance from SO doing Jt is proper for the organization to df^clare itbelf 1' political affa'rs. he assarted. and he expressed the belief that It was not improper for the organization to oppose and aid in defeating prohibition in the several etatea He also did not believe It improper for the organization In local communities to oppose candidates for school boards who did not fai’or teaching German, because he believed 1' advantageous to students to have Knowledge of two languages. .Although unable to recall positively, Mr. Sutro said he did not think the national organization took any stand against the shipment of war munitions to Europe or boycotted any firms which bought bondr from the allies prior to America’s entrarce Into the war. Says Germans Are Patriotic. John A Schneiders, of Jacksonville, Fla, told of the patriotism of the Germans in that city. When America entered the war. he said, members oi the Germania Club, which is affiliated with the alliance, offered their clubhouse to the Red Cross while he has sold $11,000 In Liberty bonds and obtained thirty-six new members to the Red Crosa He dented that the alliance took any part in politics or that it made any political contributions Paul Meerscheidt, of San Antonio, Tex., vice-president of the Texas state alliance, denied eny unpatriotic motives on the part of his organization, but said Germans In Texas were advised to stand their ground for political purposes In local elections' This was regarded necessary he said, for the maintenance od their interests It wa-^ brought out In Mr. Meerscheidts exaniination that about three or four weeks before the Jnlted States entered the wai he received a telegram from Dr. Hexamer urging him to call meetings of the alliance in San Antonio and other Texas cities to take action against a declaration of war Hexamer also urged, he said, that telegrams be sent to representatives and senators asking that before a declaration of war was made the question ce submitted to a referendum iNo action was taken on either of the suggestions he said Preceding the election ot 1816, Mr Meerscheidt said he received a message from Dr Hexamer asking him to urge German voters to sifpport Charles B.

March 4 -The afternoon paper which bitterly assailed Paul Shafer, city judge, for dismissal of gambling charges against William Shea and nine other politician gamblers on charges of entering a gaming house, nas forced yesterday to retract The paper, which had charged Shafer with going back to a Georgia decision "in order to Ba\e the gamblers from punishment,” confessed It had been misinformed, and "hoped that this statement will be '•end by every one who read the original criticism of his acts " The contempt of court proceedings have not been stayed, however, and the bar committee of three lawyers, appointed by the city judge last week to ascertain whether or not the newspaper was In contempt of court, will report some time this week.

The Indianapolis News Boresra, 3S Wyatt BaOding. WASHINGTON, March 4-The demand for army' olficers is Increasing. Notwithstanding there are more olficers today than are actually needed to command the forces which have been raised the time is not far distant when there will be a real shortage Farseeing olficlals In the war department who appreciate the conditions are preparing to start a campaign to treble the present number of officers "If we need 20,000 officers to command a given number of men we should have 60.000 olficers available " Is their slogan They realize that they will meet with opposition within the department from the very start, but within the last year they frequently have had to defeat the ’’system” before they accomplished their purpose Criminal, They Say. It would be absolutely criminal, they declare, to follow officials who see pres-ent-dav conditions, but fail even to consider the possible demands of the

future

As a matter of fact the contest has actually started Plans now' are being outlined for the fourth series of officers' training camps A tentative program has been placed hefore the general staff '> the war college but it is so llmiteti no* ev’en to meet the needs of Unable to convince the officers in

that they are in error,

‘ ^ne Omcfals In the war department soon will lav a program of their own before the chief of staff This program will provide for the training of more officers than were commissioned In 1917 to command the enlarged regular army and national guard and the first national army It will provide too for the training of many thousand college students who have taken courses In military training at the colleges since last fall.

Not a Military Secret.

No military secret is disclosed by saying that there Is a limited number of officers available to command the second national army, which it Is proposed to assemble during the coming summer. It will be necessary to use all of the enlisted men who now are attending the third series of officers' training camps Approximately 18,080 privates are taking this course of training and hope to be commissioned as second lieutenants at the conclusion of the course the latter part of April At least 12,000 of the men will be successful and the total may approximate 15,000, as the studemts had several months of experience as privates before they entered the schools Or had had some military training In the colleges they

Some of the men commissioned may be required to return to their commands for a few months after the> are graduated, but there will be commands for all as soon as tne assembling of tho second national army is well under way Even thing Indicates that there w’lll be another shortage of officers once the second half million men are in

camp

Fourth Camps Smaller. ^ Unmindful of the demands for the second national army and the certainty that there will be a great number of casualties In France during the coming spring and summer the war college has recommended that the fourth senes of officers’ training camps be smaller than any of the preceding camps It Is this recommendation tjiat has stirred the far-seeing officers in the war department to action. They are confident that as a result of the campaign they will wage in the next few weeks that the recommendation will be overruled and that the fourth series of camps be based on the same lines a-s the third series of camps The applicants will include privates who have demonstrated ability and college students who have had some military training The course will cover three months and those wha complete it successfiAly will be commissioned as second lieutenants No civilians other than students will be permitted to attend the camps But the active department officials believe the training of olficers should not be limited to this one series of schools "rhey are heartil> in favor of the recommendation made by the ad-jutant-general’s office that the 30,000 members of the R O T C , practically all college students between Ihe ages of seventeen and twenty years, receive a month’s course of training at the camps and cantonments this summer "We must think of tomoirow as Well as of today If we are to win this war,” thev 8a,v. "Words will not win this war and this war will not be won this year unless the unexpected happens. We must be prepared for any eventuality and we must look to the j'oung men who may be officers ere long. There are thousands of men In colleges who are studying military tactics and we should give them as much practical experience as it is possible to give them” To Men in Ranks. The advisability of establishing training camps for civilians similar to the Ft Benjamin Harrison camp of last eummer Is Receiving consideration, but there Is small likelihood of anything of this kind being done The prevailing view is that commissions should go to the men In the lanks who show ability, that It la unfair to give commissions to men who will fight only If they are officers. Of course this statement does not apply to men of exceptional ability who can perform special work But the department is being overrun by specialists, or men who think they are specialists, and who are after commissions. As a result, conscientious officers are In favor of granting no more straight commissions The> recommend that men who seek commissions and who present papers intended to prove that they are capable of doing certain W'ork be tentatively accepted and sent to a training camp for three months, -where they will be watched by qxperts and where they can prove their ability Such action as this. It is argued, would rid the staff side of the army of a lot of worthless material which Is retarding work In some of the divisions, especlallv the ordnance office and the signal corps Political pressure on the war department has been increasing In the last few months Congressmen and senators have been hard at work obtaining commissions for constituents The more inefficient the applicant the more recommendations he presents or are presented for him
