ADMINISTRATION LEADERS WILL
PERMIT LAFoLLETTE ETAL.
TO TALK "PEAcE."
SENATOR KING IS LEADER
Introduces Resolution That United
States Conduct To Finish the
War with "OutIawed German
Government"

Washington.-The handful of out
and out congressional pacifists pro
pcses to have big peace talk soon
within congress.
Led by members of the "wilful 12,"
they will thrash out the question of
getting an allied American showdown
OF war aims and peace terms. Senator
LaFollette gave the ball push by in
Producing resolution calling for such
a statement, and proposing that the
United States drop any idea of annex
ations and punitive indemnities.
Senator King, representing the great
majority sentiment, introduced anoth-
er resolution, demanding that the
United States go on to finish fight"
with the "outlawed German govern
ment."
Administration senators will not at
tempt to check the proposed food of
talk. Instead, they will let LaFollette,
Stone and others get their ideas out,
confident that the upshot will be pub
lication to the world that America is
in this war to knockout, and that
peace can be talked successfully only
when kaiserIsm and Schrecklichkeit
have been banished from the earth.
The only thing the leaders will in
Isist upon is that the peace talk shall
lbs curbed until the war revenue bill is
out of the way.
Administration leaders will point to
the Root mission report that Russian
morale was disturbed by peace propa-
Iganda. They will back Kings resolu-
ition and endeavor to show that only
by quick, forceful blows can America
overwhelm Germany.
They will show-on official author
ity-that there are signs of Germany
cracking psychologically and ecomom-
ically and will urge that the pacifists
get into line in support rather than in
hindrance of the war programme. The
government position is absolutely op-
posed to peace proposals now, unless
they should be clean and bona fide.

DRAFT ACT WILL Be
R|G|DLY ENFORCED
GEN. cRoWDER LAYS DOWN NEW
RULES GOVERNING QUESTION
OF EXEMPTION.
MUST PROVE DEPENDENCY

Washington.-Renewed emphasis was
laid by Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder
on the fact that congress framed the
army draft law in the interest of the
nation, not of the individual. For that
reason the lines are being drawn tight
ly in the matter of exemptions.
The government has acted slowly
in bringing home to the people the
rigid character of the draft act. There
has been much discussion of the ex-
emption problem, based on an erro-
neous view Of the laws purpose, which
assumed that married men, for in
stance, would be exempted without
question.
Gen. Crowder has taken the position
In recent rulings that married men
will be drafted from his family circle
probably would result in the family
becoming a public burden. In that
case 1t is to the interest OF the gov.
ernment to leave him in his civil oc-
cupation so the government will not
have TO care for his dependents.
An Interpretation similarly rigid
now has been placed upon exemptions
for industrial reasons. The govern.
ment has taken the lead in scrutiniz'
ing closely individual cases among its
employees before asking that they be
exempted. Wherever there is doubt,
no exemption is asked.
District boards throughout the coun.
try have been instructed to make the
governments action their guide in
dealing with claims for exemption OF
men in private employment.

BIG GUNS POUND GERMANS

British Headquarters in France
While the entente guns are hammering
the German lines in Flanders with a
fury apparently equal to that of the
original bombardment, the infantry
has not been inactive. Important gains
by both the British and the French on
seven-mile front. taking in Westhoek
and Bixschoote. are reported
British troops In night attack I'm
ished the task of driving the Germans
from the town of Westhoek and like
wise cleared them from the lines they
were still clinging to on the ridge near
the town. This forward movement
gives Field Marshal Haig far better
grip on the section of the line immedi-
ately east of Ypres.
The French on their front near Blk
schoote advanced east and north of
that place, adding to the gains they
had recently effected in this sector.
! Not only in Belgium, but along
stretches of the Arras battle front,
there are evidences of pronounced ac-
tivity by the British east of Mouchy,
in the Arras area, and day by day re-
ports come in of the notable work by
the Canadians before the coal city of
Lens.
1t has seemed several times that the
fall Of Lens was imminent, but evident
ly the hour has not been considered
ripe to deliver the final stroke.
