Demands
Impeachment of
President Wilson
Representatives Aroused by
Statement in Capitol
Committee Room
Especial Ccrrespondencel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Members OF
Congress were indignant to-day over
assertions by Frank Stevens, Della
ware pacifst, that President Wilson
should be impeached and Congress
should stay in session throughout the
year "in order that civil liberty in the
United States may be the better pro-
tected." Stevens made his outbreak at
a meeting of representatives Of the
Peoples Council for Democracy and
Terms of Peace in the Senate Military
Affairs Committee room at the Capitol.
Senator Chamberlain said that he
had permitted the use Of the room
when Isaac Mcbride, former secretary
to the late Senator Lane, of Oregon,
asked him for permission to have some
Of his friends meet members OF Con-
gress there. He said that he had no
idea the room was to be used for an
attack upon the President.
Several Senators and Representatives
drifted into the meeting, and many
Of them, when they heard the speeches,
which condemned the war, it's conduct
and the draft law. left the room highly
indignant.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were Senators Gronna, Hitchcock,
Fletcher, Kirby and Johnson, of Cali
fornia, and Representative Baker, of
California, and Lundeen. of Minnesota.
1t was proposed also that Congress
send democratic commissioners to the
September conference of the Allies for
a reconsideration of their war aims.
Mr.. Stevens, who demanded the i'm
parchment of the President, introduced
his son, who refused to register for the
draft on the ground of being a "con-
seienticus objector" and is awaiting
trial in the Federal courts in Delaware.
Young Stevens said he expected to
serv, year in prison for his refusal
to register, but insisted he would con-
tinue to refuse to take up arms.

Civilians to Mobilize
Great Draft Army;
ReduceExemptions
Plan Countrywide
Gala Day as Draft
Army Gees to Camp
Celebration to Extend to Every
Village Is Suggested by
Crowder

The young citizen soldiers whom
New York City is selecting for service
in the National Army won't have to
wait until they reach the trenches to
get their first taste Of glory. In be-
tween the two great climbs that will
take them into their new life-the
climb off the bookkeeper's stool and
the climb into khaki-each man will
have his chance TO learn how IL feels
to be hero.
1t will be q gala day in the city
when the first contingent leaves for
the state mobilization camp. whether
that be on September l or day or
two later. There will be bands,
crowds, flags and cheers. just as
brassy, big, colorful and loud as any
the big town has known.
That, anyhow, is what Provost Mar
shall General Crowder wants and ex-
poets. So much of his plans he out
lined yesterday to Roscoe S. Conkling,
director of the city draft, in the course
of a long conference at Washington.
The celebration will not be confined
to New York. 1t is to be countrywide.
Every village and every town that Is
sending men into the ranks OF the
draft army will be urged to give its
quota a fitting farewell. But this city,
naturally. is expected to take the lead.
In a way the governments plans have
been anticipated here by the Harlem
Chamber of Commerce. which has ar-
ranged to give a dinner to several hup-
dred drafted men from uptown dls-
tricts before they start away.
The aim of the whole national prof.
ect is to make the soldiers OF the new
army realize as they enter the Federal
service that they are not really cor
scripts. but volunteers; and to make
men already enlisted in the army and
navy and the country az large resilze
the same thing.
"Conscript is an unfortunate word"
said Mr.. Conkling." 1t implies some
thing which, in the present case, isnt
meant. The men who make up the
draft army arn't shirkerj in any sense
of the word, although there may be
comparative handful Of undesiraoles
among them who are net going because
they want 70. A.
"But, by and large, these are the
men who would have rushed to the COL
ors had there been call for volun-
teers. For such a call many OF them
were waiting when the volunteer idea
was abandoned and the draft law put
through"

continues to boil In q more or less or
derly Prussian fashion. An Amsterdam

peace by agreement and internal demo-

resolution was indorsed, and the

Publishers Home Wrecked
Dynamite Fails to Injure Lord
Athelstan, of Montreal

MONTREAL, Aug. 9.-The summer
horne at Csrtiervile of Lord Athel-
stan. publisher of "The Montreal STAR"
was dynamited last night. Lord Athel-
stan was in his residence at the time,
but was not injured. The house was
badly damaged. "The Montreal Star"
has been warm advocate of con-
scription.
The evident attempt to take Lord
Athelstan's life followed the receipt by
the publisher of numerous threaten
ing letters, posted in the United
States, warning him that the passage
of the Canadian conscription bill would
result in his death.
The explosion ripped of the balcony
Of the sleeping quarters and filled the
lower rooms with wreckage. 1t blew

APPLES ARE FOOD
AND NOT LUXUR|ES

Washington. May 2S.--,Herbert
C. Hoover. government food admins
traitor. and Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston today gave assurance that
the apple crop Of the northwest will
be moved to market when II is ready.
Apples are regarded by these two
men In charge OF the food distribu-
tion In the United States as necessi-
ties and not as luxuries.
It developed at the conference that
Mr.. Hoover spent his boyhood on an
apple orchard at Newburg. Ore, and
has an intimate knowledge OF the
fruit situation In the northwest.
Furthermore. Mr.. Hoover said that
apples constitute a highly important
article OF diet, more important even
than potatoes. and especially In time
OF war. He explained that much OF
the suffering among the people Of
Belgium. among whom he worked 80
long was due not 80 much to the fact
that they had insufficient food. but to
the fact that they could get no fruit.
