End the War.

Washington, March A. Senator
Gore, in an address to the senate in
support of his resolution to warn
Americans to keep off armed belliger-

result in advancing civilization by
bringing about the end of the Euro

Gently predicted, the present indica-
lions are that the cut will fall con-
siderably short Of the amount esti-
mated. owing to the heavy snow falls
experienced in northern Wisconsin

they will have to break camps within
the next few weeks, as the warm
weather wilt soften the snow and
cause water enough to make 1t I'M
possible for the men to work. With
the market still brisk this shortage
may mean serious thing to the

every resolution in the senate seeking
to interfere in any way with President
Wilson's conduct of foreign affairs.
1t was said at the White House
that the result in the senate was sat
isfactory and met the wishes of Presl-
dent Wilson
At the last moment, when driven
into corner and threatened with
defeat on the main issue fully as
heavily as that administered to MS
substitute, Senator Gore sought to
obscure the issue with an amendment,
declaring that any sinking OF an
armed ship without warning should
be regarded as an act Of war by Ger
many.
While this amendment enabled Sen
ator Gore and those of his persua-
sion to vote to table the resolution
the vote in the senate to table all
other resolutions and amendments on
the same subject at the same time
wiped the senate slate clean ana
leaves the president alone the spokes-

AS soon as the vote was taken Sen

there had not been more courageous

address the senate on the armed ship
question, explaining his opposition to
the presidents position, and Senator
McCumber submitted his resolution,
expressing the hope that Americans
will remain off armed ships until such
time as the president can bring about
an agreement with the belligerents.

friends of the president as being as
Objectionable as the Gore resolution.

tpated in the letting off steam" proc
ess by declaring all senators wholly
patriotic and by regretting some of
the passages in the senate debate.

and cruel treatment by the military
were levelled against commission
ed officers. He believed that so per
cent of the DIRECTORS had been we'll
treated. The under secretary for war,
Mr.. Tenant, asserted that most of
the sO-called persecution had been
mere "horse play" which it was diff
cult to deal with officially.
Undoubtedly DIRECTORS who were
forced into the army have been haZed
by their comrades. One of the anti
CONSUMPTION societies has compiled
letters written to relatives and friends
by DIRECTORS reciting their experiences.
One letter read:
Got here about $50 and was taken
before quartermaster sergeant, who
cOaxed a lot as well as other officers.
Il refused all particulars l would
not move from the room, so was very
roughly handled. A corporal kicked
and punched me across the square in
an awful manner. The treatment
made me cry, l am ashamed to say. but
| have no enmity towards him. l sup
pose he had to do it. A great many do
not wish me to be kicked about, and
advise me to give in to save myself
and others trouble"
Another DIRECTORS letter ran:
This letter no doubt will cause you
and all friends the greatest disap-
pOintment for l have been forced to
give in. 1 did so knowing l was
wrong, but my physical body would
not stand the treatment. This morn
ing l refused to go on parade l was
fetched by a corporal who raped my
hands, in which was my bible, with his
stick. l did nothing on parade
so was taken to a quiet spot along with
a sergeant and a corporal. There l had
the toughest time you can imagine /
refused to march or to turn, and |
was punched and slapped on the face
until 1 was nearly fainting 1 could
do no other than what l have done l
know l am absolutely wrong Now
everyone, n. c. O.'s and officers, are
treating me like a lord"
Other DIRECTORS have written of
severe military punishments for refus-
ing to drill, such as standing still on
parade for an hour, or being tied I'D to
trees, while others complain of what
in American colleges would be consid-
cred as hazing, having their
blankets pulled off at night, and
ducked under pumps
