BYRNES OPPOSES
COMPULSI0N IDEA
Second District Congressman Says
His Conscience Won't Let Him
Support Wilson Proposal.

(P. H. MCGOWAN, in The State.)
Washington, April 26.-Congress-
man Byrnes yesterday addressed the
house on the conscription bill.
My Byrnes among other things
stated that in behalf of conscTiptton
there had been conducted the most
extensive and Infamous propaganda
that had ever been conducted in be-
half of a measure pending in con-
gress; that the textile worker, the
skilled mechanic, the coal miner, the
machinist, the wheat grower, the cot
ton farmer and every man who had
a Job had been told that under the
conscription bill be would be ex~
empted, and had been led to believe
that nobody but loa fers and the pool
room sharks would be conscripted.
"In one BREATH" he said, "the pro-
ponents OF the bill stated that we
needed the best army on earth in
order to fight the effective army OF
Germany. In the next breath they
would have US believe we are to fight
with an army Of pool room loafers.
They talk like war is fought with
billiard balls instead Of bullets.
every man who has read the bill
knows that it does not exempt the
farmer. On the contrary it is left
entirely to the army officers. No
member of congress has peen able to
find out who will be exempted, and
the secretary of war says he will not
state until the bill is passed.
''They call it universal and the
only thing about it that is universal
is the universal support it receives
from men over 25 years of age. The
war department bill provides that
boys between 19 and 25 years of age
alone will be drafted; that 4,0OO,-
600 names will be placed in a box
and 100000 drawn and the friends
of the bill lead the people to be-
lieve that every one Of the 500,OuO
is going to be a loafer.
at divides the people into two
es-'congressmen' and coli

you have actually sunk submarine,
as sometimes they merely sink to the
bottom. Presence of oil on the sur
face is good indication though not
absolutely conclusive. 1t may be used
for deception. All the indications are
good that the American steamer

possible it got away.
"One of the great difficulties We
have had to deal with has been

nous amount of projectiles fired IN
the belief that they were German u

Admiral De Chair sketched wildly
the long night vigils OF the patrol
vessels, the terrible winter storing
which sometimes send vessels to the
bottom without leaving trace, the
menace of floating mines, the hide and
seek game between submarines and
their prey and the ever present ten-
sion and alarm.

BIG SUMS NEEDED
TO CARRY ALLIES
Most of Money Will be Spent in Unit
ed States for Supplies and
Munitions.

Washington, April 26.-Preliminary
reports to the treasury department
upon which Secretary McAdoo Will
base his recommendations to the
president as to the size of the first
bond issue under the S7,OOO,0 ,00O,0Oo
war finance law indicate that the
United States will be called upon to
finance the allies to the extent OF at
least s4OO,000,000 and possibly $780,
100000 a month.
The tentative programme also calls
for the expediture Of virtually every
dollar of the borrowed money in this
country for foodstuffs. munitions,
coal, clothing. railway equipment
and other supplies.
The estimates still incomplete and
subject to revision, indicate the fol-
lowing entente needs: For Great Brit
and $200,000,00O to S250,OOO,O0O a
month: for F ence from S100,OOO,oOo
to s125, 900, 900; for Russia a sum un-
determined but up to $10O,0OO,O00 a
month, depending largely upon the
ability of manufacturing plants IN
this country to meet their demands;
for Italy about s5O,0O0,000. Should
these requirements be met in their
entirety the s3,000,000,000 available
for lending the allies would be ex-
hausted-in from six and to seven and
one-half months. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the preliminary estimates
can be pared down to point Wners
the huge loan could be made to cover
requirements possibly for one year.
Indications were not lacking that
Mr.. McAdoo would consider favor
ably the suggestion that he offer
within ten days another S25O,O00,O00
block of treasury certificates to the
banks of the country through the fed
eral reserve banks.
Should the government decide to
finance the allies to the extent OF
$500 100000 month, approximately
81 100000 900 would be needed to
meet requirements prior to June 81,
when the first products Of the bond
issue will be available.

HOW TO SELECT FOODS.
Home Economics Specialists Oifer
Suggestions for Getting the Most
Food tyI Ones Money.

The following suggestions on get
ing the most food for ones money
are from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Farmers Bulle-
tin $685. How to Select Foods
Use cereals (four, cereal break
fast foods, etc. freely, taking pains
to prepare them with great care ano
to vary the kind used from day TO
day if necessary to keep people Irom
firing Of them.
Remember that quart OF whole
milk a day for each child, to be
used as beverage and in cookery,
is not too much.
Plan carefully both in buying and
in serving.
Do not be ashamed to plan close
ly. Thrift in food means providing
enough food, neither too little nor
too much.
Notice carefully how much OF
such staples as -four, sugar, milk
cooking fat, etc., is used each week
for a month, and see if there are
any ways of cutting down the guam
tity needed.
Buv non-perishable materials in
quantities if better prices can be
secured and there is a good storage
place in the home NeisNbors can
sometimes club together o get lower
rates.
Estimate carefully hoy much OF
any material will be NEEDED before
llying in a supply. then see l that
none is wasted by careless handling
Try to make the disies serveA OF
such size that there will be enough
,atisfv the appetite of the family
and no unnecessary table and plate
waste.
Do not be above noticing whetheF
any thing usuable is thrown away
with the garbage, which always>
SHOWS how thrifty food is used in
household.
Many inexpensive materials can
be made attractive and the diet can
be pleasantly varied by wise use
of different f1avorlngs.
"Finicky" tastes in food often pre-
vent the use Of many valuable ma
saving money.
Good food tabits are an lmpor-
tant part Of Personal hygiene and
thrift. Children get such habits by
having suitable amounts of suitable
foods served to them and then being
expected to eat what is set before
them.
True economy lies not only IN
buying wisely but also in making
the fullest possible use of what Is
bought.
