Representative Madden of Illinois
said the loan was the only way In
which the United States could act
promptly and effectively at this tlrae.
For Gods sake let's get into ac-
tion," he cried, "either through the
armies now In the field or In our own
army. and everybody knows we can't
get an adequate army for year.
The time for talk Is past and the
time for action Is here"
There was much opposition TO a
proposal Dy representative Moore OF
Pennsylvania to limit the maturity
OF the issue. All the leaders spoke
for leaving that to the discretion OF
tho President or the Treasury De-
partment.
Representative Cannon OF Illinois
said that personally his sympathies
would be more with Russia than with
the other Governments among the
allies. because while other great pow
ers during the American Civil War
wavered as to interference in behalf
Of the Southern Confederacy, Russia
sent her fleet 70 New York and by It's
presence aided the preservation of the
Union.
The Moore proposal TO provide re-
demption in fifty years was rejected
on viva voce vote.
An amendment by Representative
kitchin was adopted providing that
not only that part of the 5000 900. 600

The results OF the statistical inves-

Germany, which was conducted IN
April, 1915, and which are now pub

necessities OF life for families in the
lowest wage class materially exceeds
their income. This class Includes
families earning from 100 to 200 marks
monthly, and their living expenses
are put at 222 marks pfennigs.
