Friends May Choose
Prison Sentence TO
Serving in U.S.. Army
Conscientious Directors Will
Follow Example of Quakers in
England to Evade Carrying
Arms in Big War.

Quakers are going to be glad to
serve the government in any way they
can, although there may be few con-
scientious objectors among them.
This opinion was expressed by
Walter Woodward, secretary of the
Five Years Friends, Tuesday, discuss
ing the ruling of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, ordering members
of religious bodies with conscientious
scruples against war, into training
camps.
Statement Too Indefinite.
"The statement is so indefinite as to
what the nature of the service will be,
that l would be In no position to say
exactly what attitude Friends will
take" said Woodward.
There will probably be a few who'll
take extreme grounds, and go to
prison, as some Friends in England
have already done, rather than go
against their convictions and serve in
any military capacity.
For the most part, however, be-
lieve that Friends will be as liberal
in cooperative service as possible, If
the government acts within the spirit
of the law already passed. releasing
them from actual soldier service"

move that committee amendments be
taken up.
A minority report of the senate f.
nance committee on the war tax bill
was presented TO the senate today by
Senator Lafollette, with the concur
renee of Senators Gore and Thomas,
recommending that war profits and

senate adopted amendments to be Of.
fered by himself and his associates, a
substitute would be offered.
The minority report charges that
the bill as revised by the majority
makes but palpable inadequate provi-
sion for raising of revenue needed
for financing the war through the
next fiscal year and that the onus Of
taxation has been placed upon those
least able to bear it.
England has taxed her war profits
