SAYS THE WEST ENDORSES
GOVERNMENT WAR PLANS

eThe public sentiment of the west sup
norts the recommendations made by
the President and the action of Con-
sress." said Senator Newlands of Nevz-
da. who returned to Washington today
from the west. discussing the war sit-
uation. There is an increasing reai-
cation of the seriousness of the sltua-
ton and the necessity for united. Wig
orous and decisive action.
while it is desirable for the moral
and psychological effects that we
should land troops in France and Bel
GUM as soon as practicable, ii is much
more important that we should act de-
cisiyely in the matter of supplies. mu-
nitions. financing and efficient organt-
cation We can be peculiarly helpful
TO Russia in these particulars. The
crtIx of the situation is in Russia.
II do not think any abatement in tho
DESPERATE methods of Germanys defense
can b. looked for. Germany will, under
immortal government, continue TO be
faithless cruel and yindietive. The Ger
man oyernment has become an inter
national outlaw. and will continue to 30
such until thoroughly beaten, or over
thrown by a democratic uprising of the
German people.

committee. In this it is stated that rho
House and Senate bills recognize the
consciences only of those who happen
to belong to a well recognized sect,
whose creed opposes participation in
the war" Both bills fail to recognize
the right of the individual conscience,
although conscience is nothing if NOT
individual. At the request of num-
