dred petitions bearing 100000 names,
asking congress to adopt the admins
tratiOn plan, were laid before the
speaker.
Transcription never will pass, in my
opinion" he said. 81 am for letting the

the preparedness movement"
Convert Draft Opponent.

Representative Anderson of Mime
sofa advocated the draft.
Representative Lenroot, Wisconsin,
declared the draft would do more than
the volunteer system to win this war,
least sacrifice of life" He said he
believed his constituents would APP
prove that stand, but even If he be-
lieved otherwise his course would bt
the same, as in war time, when tbe ey-
istence OF the republic was in danger,
not to his constituents.
Representative Gallivan of Massa-
chusetts, speaking for the administra-
ton plan, said all Boston approved of

the Sheas were almost alone rallying
to the cOlOrs.

less the nation wishes to suffer disas-
ter and possibly destruction later it

in war and to believe that the draft
system is the one to adopt.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
the bill, said he would not seek to fix
n time for vote before late today.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin Of
fered an amendment for later discus
sion to establish system of tribunals,

on the open sea about forty miles out,
steering straight across Portsmouth
Harbor, when the magnetic on the en-
gine went bad. We couldn't fix 1t.
so there we were floating further out
to sea In thirty-five foot motor
boat. We decided that the only thing
to do was to anchor, and were lucky
to have enough rope to reach bottom
as the water was 700 feet deep at
that point. The wind came up and
we tossed around at a terrible rate.
The boat actually stood on its nose
