Representative Dyer. Of Missouri, de-
clared in the discussion that Americans

American ship TO reship on British
steamer which would pass through the
zone where the underseas war Is raging
as evioence of the necessity Of law
to protect the country from such prac-

walking into a burning building and
knowing he would lose his life.
