Threat to Take

to Roosevelt Delays Draft,
Campbell Charges
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, May 8.-An implied
warning that if the Administration
did not do something on the war pro

forced to repeat the action of 1872,
when the House of Representatives
took over the conduct of the war. was
given to-day by Representative Camp
bell. of Kansas, ranking minority mem
Der of the Committee on Rules.
Mr. Campbell bitterly criticised the
Administration for the delay IN agree
ing upon the selective draft bill. Had
it not been for the President, he said,
the conferrees Of the two houses Of
Congress would have gotten together
long ago Not mentioning the name
Of Colonel Roosevelt, he intimated
that it was executive opposition 70

the bill, and hence holding up start

ed. at is a month and more since we
entered this war Congress would
have agreed upon the military bill
long ago had it not been for a higher
source which insists upon keeping Ger.
tain things out of that bill. Under
similar circumstances, in 1872, Con-
gress took the responsibilities of the
nation and conducted the war TO a
successful issue. The War Of 1912 was
not conducted by the Executive. The
House of Representatives. under the
leadership of the Speaker. Henry Clay.

the fact that we were at war.
The responsibility rests upon Con
gress, and should be assumed. Our
responsibility 10 the people is as great
as that of the Executive.
I'VE are not using the best men in
the executive departments of this
government to-day. The Administra-
ton IS refusing warriors now, when
they offer their services.
why? The Administration must
answer TO the American people for
their delnquencies with respect 20
their failure to utilize the very best
that is in tA nation. If we sit idly
by waiting for the Executive to an
nounce what he desires. and then do
il hurredly and skedsddle home, as
il is intimated we will, we will make
ourselves contemplate in the eyes OF
the world and in our own.
This Congress should not think Of
adjourning while this war is in prog
ress. The Military Affairs Committee
and the Naval Affairs Committee
should take the initiative, and should
call upon the coordinate branches of
the government TO follow their lead

Plentiful than Meats

London, May S,-Great Britain's

which are less plentiful than meat. This
was announced to-day by Baron Devon
port, the Food Controller. in the House
Of Lords. He declared that dminu-
ton in the consumption of breadstufs
was OF vital moment and main factor
in the situation. but added:
provided that the call for reduc-
tion is responded to. and the efforts of
the submarines are not successful be-
yond reasonable likelihood. we shall
get through with a fairly satisfactory
balance to the time when the new har-
vest becomes available"
