FOOD BILL FIGHT
IN HOUSE TO-DAY
Minority Leader Mann Stirs
Up Republican Ire Against
Wilson Protest.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-A bitter par
tisan night to retain in the food control
bill the Senate war expenditures commit
tee amendment was forecast in the House
to-day when Minority Leader Mann re-
fused unanimous consent to disagree to
all Senate amendments and send the
measure to conference without instruc-
lions to the conferees.
Mr.. Mann insisted on his point of
order when Chairman Lever refused TO
amend his request to permit of a sep
arate vote upon the war committee
amendment which President Wilson
yesteilay declared in letter to Lever
would render my task OF conducting
the war practically impossible"
During the colloquy between Lever
and Mann the Rules Committee voted
out n special rule which would make a
separate vote on any Senate amendment
impossible. This rule was not pressed
to-day because OF an agreement between
Democratic and Republican leaders not
to act on the measure untfi tomorrow.
Heated Debate Is in Prospect.
The fact that 1t would have been pos
sible to obtain unanimous consent that
would have shut out a separate vote on
the prohibition question but not one
that would shut out House action on
section % OF the Senate bill, indicates
the strength of Republican feeling over
the Presidents letter attacking this sec
tion,
Debate on the rule tomorrow. whlcn
may be limited to twenty minutes on a
side, Is expected to be devoted to a
bitter arraignment of the Adminlstra-
tion's attitude by Republicans. The
Democrats. however. have enough votes
to pass the rule.
Members on both sides said to-day
that the President had blundered in
gratuitously attacking the section, thus
raising a strong factional issue for the
first time since the outbreak OF the war.
The effect OF the Presidents letter,
they say. viii be TO reflect on the mo-
tives OF Republicans In both houses OF
Congress and upon their patriotic, nom
partisan support Of the Presidents war
programme,
President Created an Issue"
They declare that il the President had
refrained from public attack on the pro-
posal there would have been little diff
ficulty In killing II In conference. The
letter of the President, they say. not only
created an issue which would not other
wise have been pressed, hut in so doing
caused delay OF one day in getting TO
conference.
Senator Weeks, original proponent Of
the Weeks Owen amendment providing
for the special Congressional Joint COM
mittee on war expenditures. is optimistic
as to the ultimate success OF his measure
as a part OF the food control bill even
in the face OF the Presidents condenna-
tion.
For the tirst time in many a long
day" he said tonight. tho Republicans
OF the Senate voted as a unit. We need
only six or seven Democratic votes TO
hold our position. and the number OF
Democrats who voted for the amendment
last Saturday was far larger than that"

that II would be a small conference to

Newspaper Men Give
$614 to "Smoke" Fund

THIS is the day of the New
York Press Club.
Beginning with a subscription
of 500 voted by the board of
trustees, the members of the
newspaper mems organization
contributed $6l4.50 TO THE
SUMS Tobacco Fund for Our
Soldiers in the Trenches. This
is the largest club collection that
has been forwarded to the fund.
With the exception of the 81 900
contributed by Leonard Joseph it
represents the biggest contribu-
ton yet made.
Since the start of the fund we
have had many organization con-
tributions. The Lambs Club a
few weeks ago sent 500 to the
fund, the contribution of 100
members. These splendid offer
ings should inspire other clubs to
enlist in this cause.
Thomas A. Edison is one of
the subscribers through the Press
Club. The list contains the
Fleischmann company for $500
and a like sum from c. F. Stur-
hehan.
With the Press Clubs contri-
button the fund now amounts to
$25,6S3.47. That $4,000 mark
is drawing closer, II must be
passed before the end of the
week.
No agents or solicitors are en-
ployed by the fund. The story
will be found on another page.

 l will endeavor to briefly outline our first week in the Navy's deten- tion Camp.
 We arrived at Camp Ross, which is the main detention camp, about D. m. on the night of the 9th. We then assembled in company formation in one of the main streets where the boys Were relieved of cigarettes chew ing tobacco and other objectionables. After this we marched to the main barracks for muster and received our bedding.
 Next day we were vaccinated in both arms. In the right for typhoid fever and in the left for smallpox.
 Thursday and Friday we drilled
 Saturday morning we were assign cd part of our clothing, including one suit of blues, four suits of under clothes, one wool sweater, hats, caps boots, shoes, leggings, socks, hand kerchiefs and other small equipment,
 Saturday afternoon we marched g. bout three miles carrying our camp equipment, except tents, being trans fered to Camp Paul Jones which is another detention camp but over on the lake shore.
 Sunday morning we went to church and organized bible class for our company, which is now Co. 15. Mon- day, 11th, Tuesday and Wednesday were days of hard drilling in com pany and battalion drills; also phys ical exercise drills. The physical physical drill is a beautiful one done in ten acts with sixteen counts to the act; this is performed with the use of the rife.
 Clemens was sick a few days but is feeling fine today. We like the nav y fine. We have Y. M. c. A. where we can spend leisure hours, but so far they are few. We are to have an amatuer boxing contest this after noon and are to organize a foot ball team in our company.
 Our eats are good. We have good meat and some kind of fruit each day. He had cantaloupe for break fast.
 Monday and Tuesday nights were intensely cold for us thin blooded Southerners. The frost was heavy but we are about to get over our colds.
 Most of the boys are doing nicely and all are anxious to get aboard ship but there is rumor of us being transferred to Florida just as soon as our detention period is up, Sept. 25.

EASTLAND CARL PERKINS

The death angel for the first time, made his way into the home of MT, and Mrs. w. NJ. Perkins, Wednesday, Sept. 12, and took from it Eastland Carl, the eleven year old son.
 He was a very obedient and manly child and will be greatly missed by the family and neigh bors.
 His illness was of so short du- ration, and death came so sud den that few of the neighbors knew of his sickness.
 Let us bow in submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and live so that when we cross the river we may clasp glad hands with Eastland and all others who have gone on and are awaiting our coming; then we'll part no more.
 The family has the sympathy of the entire community in this great bereavement.
