ALIENS MAY Be
DRIVEN INTO
US. SERVICE
Senate Bill Would Force
Them Into the Army
SAID TO BE SLACKERS
Claimed That There Are Million
Young Foreigners Here Who Have
Dodger Military Service.

Washington, Sept y Taking
the situation into its own hands the
senate today passed a bill making
mandatory the drafting of what are
said to be more than a million alien
slackers in this country.
Some weeks ago the senate passed
a resolution directing the President
F, to enter into diplomatic negotiations
to gather in these slackers. This
diplomatic channel was declared to
be the policy of the administration
rather than the more dractic procu-
dure. But certain senators said to-
day they we're tired of waiting" for
the state department to act and that
diplomacy was too slow.
No intimation was given that the
bill would be called up. 1t met with
little opposition, however, when the
via voee vote was taken.
In the house a similar bill failed to
meet equal success. A plan to bring
it up after the urgent deficiency bill
is disposed of was blocked by Stat

The Senate bill, of which Chamber

altered today in one important par
ticular. II now provides that while
Germans and other aliens Of the Cen
trail Powers cannot be made to fight
they can be drafted and utilized fol
other necessary purposes during the
present emergency" This means the!

etc. Chinese, Japanese and Others
whose treaties provide that they
shall not be subject here to military
duty, are exempted from the bill.
AS passed, the bill provides.
That all aliens here more than ;

intention to become citizens, are sub

That they shall be exempt If thei
treaties so stipulate. Their diploma

ing at the North Adams hospital as
the result of being hit by a motor
cycle ridden by Charles Starr, also Of
North Adams, while walking in the
highway at Zylonite to the south of
the city. The mans both legs were
broken as were bones in one arm and
the pelvic bone.
Internal injuries Of serious nature
were also sustained so that the mans
recovery was thought to be out of
the question from the first Stars
version of the accident is to the effect
that he and two other men were nd
ing into Adams about 73O in the eve
ming when Rondo, who seemed to be
crossing the road, stopped directly in
front of them. He thinks the dead
man must have been blinded by the
glare of an electric light ON the front
of passing trolly car and that he did
not see the motorcycles approaching.
The collision was OF such force that
the wheel on the sidecar of Starr's
machine was smashed and the ve-
hicle was otherwise damaged. The
dead man was we'll known in North
Adams and had spent nearly all his
life there. For many years past he
had been employed as teamster by
Whitney Bros. His widow and sew
eral children survive him. Soon af-
ter the accident Rondo was removed
to the hospital where efforts to save
his life proved unavailing. He was
a native of Vergennes, Vt.
