WASHINGTON. d. c., April 49,
Conscription Is the only way by which
this government can raise and main
tain an army worthy Of its prestige
and capable Of doing the work that
has to be done IN the utter overwhelm-
ing Of Prussisnism and the ending OF
the world menace OF German @kultur. I"
Such was the flat and emphatic as
sertion made before the house com.
mittee on military affairs by Secre-
tary OF war Baker when called be-
fore that body to discuss the general
staff universal service bill yesterday
afternoon during g hearing.
enc matter what we have done in
the past, the lessons Of this war have
shown clearly that the enormous task
imposed BY modern warfare forces us
to the conclusion that conscription
little as we may like the sound Of the
worlds the only solution Of our
problem.
President Wilson and Secretary
Baker held 4 lengthy session with
Representatives Mann and Lenroot,
who were summoned to the confer
ence. IL was pointed out that now Is
no time for partisanship to play a
part in the councils Of the nation, but
that ali must unite in furthering the
common objects Of the nation.
President Wilson particularly point
ed out that further delay in the army
measure would be playing the German
game for the euemy and undoubtedly
endangers the plans of the govern
ment against the German foe. The
Republican corgressmen were asked
not to allow partisan attacks to de-
feat the plans for q measure that
would provide for conscription, by sc,
lection. of the young, unmarried men
without dependents.

Judd since his return from the French
war front, has resulted in the estab-
lishment of q $1,000 fund for the pur-

pamphlets which DR.. Judd has brought
home. High tribute is paid Robert
Bacon, former American ambassador
at Paris, and Mrs. Bacon for their un-
firing service following the outbreak
