statistical proof that young women I'M

those who have postponed the respon-
sibility Of maternity until after thirty
years Of age. He favors early mar

ground that, contrary to popular opin-

GERMANS SEEK BRITISH AID.
Ship Director Says Nations Must
Cooperate In Trade.

AMSTERDAM, July 27.-Phillip Heine-
ken, director OF the North German Lloyd
Steamship Line, says in the annual re-
port of the company that the British
will be compelled to collaborate with the
Germans, but that until this stage Is
reached German industry. trade and
shipping will undergo a hard struggle.
Herr Heineken believes that on ac-
count OF the diminution of tonnage due
TO the submarine war high freight rates
will prevail for two or three years after
the war, with the consequent benefit to
shipping interests He predicts that for
n time Germany will find It necessary to
restrict imports to highly important arti-
clcs, such as grain and other foodstuffs.
The North German Lloyd and the
Hamburg American Line at the re-
quest Of the German Government, says
the report, have opened offices in Po-
land to enable residents OF occupied
territory TO join their families In Amer
lea. The offices are at Warsaw, Kovno
and Myslowitz. Several hundred per-
sons emigrate from Poland each month.
The Bremerhaven workshops of the
company, Herr Heineken adds, are busy
turning out war materials for the Gov
ernment

SENATE FAVORS
ALIEN DRAFT
Chamberlain Resolution Calls
on Almost All But Foes in
United States.

WASHINGTON. July 27.---A favorable
tom authorize the application OF selec-
tive conscription to aliens, excepting
enemy aliens, was adopted unanimously
by the Senate Committee on Military Az
fairs to-day. This action was taken
however. with the proviso that such aliens
as are not eligible to American citizen
ship-that includes resident Chinese and
Japanese-should not be considered as
amenable to service and that they should
be exempted
1t is expected that Chairman Cham
berlain will report the joint resolution
to the Senate on Monday To-day he ex-
pressed the belief that the resolution
will be adopted unless disapproval be
expressed by the State Department.
Under the terms of the joint resolu-
ton all aliens OF military draft age re-
siding I'm the United States for more
than one year, exclusive of alien enc
mics and alien subjects of any country
allied with the enemy who have not de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens, shall be subject to conscription
upon the same terms as citizens Of the
United States.
Aliens who are subjects of countries
treaties exempting their subjects from
compulsory or other military service are
to be exempted upon application of the
diplomatic representatives of such
countries. Aliens who claim such ex-
emption shall be allowed to depart from
the United States within ninety days or
shall be deported If remaininG there
after.
1t is. not believed that the State De-
partment will see its way clear to ex
tend unqualified approval to the meas
ure. This Counsellor Polk endeavored to
make clear to Senators Stone and Nc
Cumber this week when similar resolu-
tion for which Senator McCumber stands
sponsor was the subject Of discussion.
senator McCumber's resolution au-
thorized the State Department to enter
into negotiations looking 10 securing
the approval of Americas allies to n
general programme of enlistng Entente
Ally aliens for service under the Stars

approval and told Senators Stone and

many difficulties.

before the President, from whom an
opinion is sought before the measure
shall be rushed to final passage.

fcial training II these soldiers were

stead OF the French?" asked Of an
American stan officer who was observ-
ing the demonstration.
Il may have thought so at frst," the
officer replied. but not now"
The explanations which our men In
the ranks are receiving from the French
soldiers In the ranks are more than
word instructions. They are object les
sons in which gesticulations and pan
tomime are used to act out the move
ment or subject under discussion.
The French are great actors. and I
find that American soldiers, who are un-
acquainted with the French language,
are able to understand the French
soldiers, who are unacquainted with the
English. much better than the American
officers. similarly handicapped, can un-
derstand the French officers.
II should say that some time would
be lost II all OF our troops were to be
trained by French soldiers, but be-
litve that this division. under French
tutelage. will be better able to teach the
new tactics to the new divisions that are
to follow than Il would be II II had
speedily passed through training camps
