Germans stripped their dead behind
the firing line, fastened them into
bundles of three or four bodies with
iron wire and then dispatched these
grisly bundles to the rear.

there will be that $4,000 100000 In the
country that doesn't go down the
throats OF the whisky drinkers, and
upon that argument the prohibition
lists contend they are not only provid-
ing more money from which revenues
can be derived, but the cost OF prohi-
bi<ion will more than be conserved In
human life. oh, you know their argu-
ments-everybody knows them-there
seems TO be no way getting around
them or answering them. and up to
date the prohis have all the best OF II.
But IL is going to delay matters; yet,
perhaps the end may justify the
means.
There is little likelihood of congress
the first OF September, and these two
bills are only part of the legislation
before those two bodies.
The aviation bill. which provided
for $640. 200. has now been in
creased to more than two billions.
Congress Is going to be very liberal
with the flying men. as 1t Is almost
universally recognized that IL will be
thru this arm of the warning forces
that victory can be assured. but the
money will have to be provided-it
may be by bonds and II may be by
additional revenues, but that will mean
more delays.
Congress has been busy, is busy
now, and will continue busy for many
weeks. but before II adjourns every
thing will be worked out and the gov
ernment will get everything 1t needs
and the people will feel more secure.

Congress discussed this bill three
weeks and then passed it-every mem
bers Of the house admitting II was
the most unequal. unfair and vicious
piece OF legislatio ever introduced In
II legislative body anywhere on earth
I'm all time. At that, IL failed to pro-
vide within $500, 900, 600 OF the amount
required for immediate use. according
to the secretary OF the treasury.
House Passes Buck TO Senate.
The house just passed the buck TO
the senate The finance committee
OF the senate held three weeks of
strenuous hearings on the bill and
took three weeks longer to redraft it,
reducing the house bill from Sl,S00.-

II had completed the draft In as equi-
table manner as human conception
could create the bill. Secretary Me-
Adoo came out with another statement
increasing again his figures on the
amount needed.
The bin was brought to the floor OF
the senate.
Then came the whisky amendment

four weeks time To dispose OF this

WOOD ATTACKS SYSTEM ASK SHOWING Of HANDS
Major General Before Sen
ate Committee Urges
Universal Service.

4 Washington, Jan. 31.-Major Leonard
Wood, recalled today for cross exam.
! ination before the senate universal
training committee, said army of
ficers were not disposed to shirk re.
sponsibility for the war departments
shortcomings in it's direction of the
national guard mobilization at tho
border, but reiterated that the guarc
system was in itself vicious and in
defensible," because of defects in
! herent in its organization.
| In response to questions by Senator
Lee of Maryland, a defender of the
guard system. at whose insistance the
! cross examination was ordered, Gen.
eral Wood admitted that the federal
governments supply splans for the state
troops collapsed ten days after they
| We're called out. and that in certain
| respects mobilization of the regulars
like the guard, failed to come up to
expectations. He insisted, however
that Il system without a shadow of
state interference would have oper-
solution would be universal service.
General Wood declared that he did
not intend to criticise the officers and
men of the guard, but only the vicious
indefensible system.
BY supreme effort in six months
border The country could have been
eaten up by an efficient enemy in that
time.
Senator Lee pointed out that the reg
ular had played its part in the fail
ures.
YES said General Wood, land
would go after the war department
with sand bag and reorganize it,
The greatest failure of the federal
government, said General Wood, was
the supply system. Great Britain had
faced the same thing, he added, when
the European war came and found it
necessary to abandon her whole system
and create a department Of munitions.
The men and officers of the guard
are high minded, patriotic individuals,
General Wood said, but not soldiers +"
Senator Lee led the discussion to the
Swiss military system, which he de-
clared had solved the problem of dual
control of the military forces by state
and federal governments.
Dual control is n rotten system in
Switzerland, if it exists" General
Wood said. Moreover, he did not be-
lieve any alternative from universal
service offered itself short of pay for
soldiers at Il rrohibitive rate.
The national guard, General Wood
said, were eager for universal service
legislation and many officers were re-
signing and men seeking to quit the
service because they believed it
should be enacted as quickly as pos
sible.
