A PACIFIsT

Katrina Trask (Mrs. Spencer Trask)
is one of the most prominent pacifists
in this country, Frank Hunter Potter
of the vigilantes points out in re.
cent article. She has written on the
subject extensively. vigorously and in.
teliigently. and her pacifst play. "In
the Vanguard" has been widely per.
formed and is still being given.
But Mrs Trask is no pacifist today.
This country is a republic" she says
in letter to some of her pacifist sup.
porters. The majority rules. and the
majority OF the United States has
chosen the way of war. Congress has
declared war: our President. in words
which thrill the soul. has proclaimed
war. This is not time to speak of
differences. of individual creeds or of
personal principles. We all wish to
work for the same things-Liberty.
Democracy. Humanity. Fraternity,
this is time to speak only of our
united purpose and of our ardent de
our Country. This is what intend
to do. and l urge you all to do the
same.
IF you 20 TO fight in this heroic
hour. may Gods blessing go with you.

be brave enough 10 say so. But you
must be very sure that II is your con.
science which makes the objection to
your going and not your objection to

There is the same difference between
the man who has an honest conscien.
tious objection TO war and the man
who. being afraid to go. makes his

We commend this letter TO all Am.

Senator Weeks Says People
VIII Demand Draft Soon as
They Understand Facts.
DENT OPENS DISCUSSION

Washington, April 25.-Rcpresen-
tative Lunn, democrat, and formerly
socialist mayor OF Schenectady N. Y,
urged Consumption in his speech in
the house during discussion of the
army bill this afternoon. Mr. Lunn
said that in voting to give the presi-
dent all the power and resources OF
the country for carrying out the war
he and others took that action literal
ly and without equivocation.
Representative Lunn aroused laugh
ter and applause by suggesting that
an amendment be written into the
bill making it necessary to give sol.
diers already in the service second
opportunity to enlist in order that
their services might be wholly demo-
cratic. Loud applause greeted his re-
marks. aM..

majority of the committee, provided
for the volunteer enlistment with con.
scription only as last resort and the
fight for this measure was led by
Chairman Dent OF the military COM
mittce, whose supporters felt sure
that they would make good show
ing. A strong element in the house
however, backed the selective con.
scription plan advocated by the army
general staff and recommended by the
military committee minority, led by
Representative Kahn of California, a
republican. -.
In the senate the bill under consid.
Grafton was the general staff's meas
ure.
In opening the senate debate Sen.
ator Weeks said the people demand
CONSUMPTION or would demand it il
they were correctly informed.
When the house began debate nc
limit was fixed, but it was agreed
that it should run on today until
o'clock.
Chairman Dent of the military com
mittee, who favors call for volun
teers while the CONSUMPTION registra
ton machinery is being made ready

Mr.. Dent explained that the bill a.
amended by the committee gives au
thority to raise an army of practic
