Debate in the Senate on the army

publican. of Washington, who support
ed the selective draft.
Senator Jones gave as the three pri-
mary steps which should be taken to
convince the enemy Of the futility OF
continuing this struggle:
Raise an army Of a million mon.

Speaking of conscription, Senator
Jones said:
1T is said to be odious to free. lib

the past was odious because II was not

drafted.
This is not the draft or conscription

German line in France is, roughly
%sneaking. n right angle, running south
ard from the North Sea to the heights
above the Aisne and then eastward to
the .Argonne n the Mouse at Verdun.
The French n the British are attack
ing on the sides of this right angle. If
they break down the sides the position
of the troops in the apex will be I'M
tenable. and before this happens the
Germans will necessarily draw their
troops out of this country in the apex
exactly as they drew their troops out
OF the great Noyon salient ~ few weeks
ago. Then the French and British at
tack was on one side of the previous
RIGHT angle. Now the attack is on both
sides. but the piercing of either side
must mean a general retirement as it
did when the Germans retired out of
the country between Arras and Scis-
sons.
The question that the progress of the
first two weeks of the allied offensive
raises is a question of morale primar-
lily. We hav had upward of $4,000
German prisoners and more than $50
guns-inany of them heavy-capture i in
the first two weeks of fighting. The
loss of guns is unparalleled on the)Ger-
man side during the war, as is also the
loss OF prisoners. We have the testi-
! mony of correspondents who have seen
and talked with the German prisoners.
all of which point toward a marked de-
moralization among them. We have the
testimony of official reports that the
German units surrendered en- masse
1t is possible to exaggerate the value of
this evidence n these indications, but
