Senator Knox, who said the difference
was OF "tweediedum and twsedlease."
A final plea by Senator Chamberlain
against returning the bill to cenfsrencs
preceded the vote. t.
Hair splittihs II
When the army bill came up in tie
Senate today for final action on the con
ference report it was thrown in long
debate over techniealities which Senator
Chamberlain. chairman of the military
committee, openly characterized as chair
splitting.
The principal contention was over
whether soldiers were being drafted for
''the existing emergency or 1.-The war"
Here we are at war" declared Mr..
Chamberlain. land the Senate Is splitting
hairs on this proposition with danger at
our DOORS
Some senators protested against the
general language of the emergency. con-
tending that 1t might fasten a military
policy onto the country.
Senator Chamberlain insisted the term
"existing emergency was definite enough
when considered With other language in
the measure. and Senator Fletcher point
ed out that the existing" emergency
could not be stretched to continue men
in service for some future exigency
Senator Chamberlain served notice on
the Senate that II 1t sent the report back
to conference there would be no military
LEGISLATION for 80 or 60 days.
Senators Smith and Hardwick Of Geor-
eia, Reed Of Missouri and LaFollette
were among those who expressed objec-
lions.
LaFolette demanded vote on return
ing the bill to conference with instruc-
tions to make it operative only during
the war" and not during the existing
emergeney.'
Senator Chamberlain reiterated his
warning that great delay might result
and pointed out that the senators delay
ing the bill were those who lost their
fight against the draft system. Senator
Smith of Georgia. however. renewed his
attack and argued that returning it tc
conference would not delay raising ar
army as the men being trained to officer
1t would not be ready for 80 days.
"our real work is being doine across
the Atlantic by the navy, said Senator
Smith I'VE ought to write into this
bill an express declaration that the draft
system dies with this German war"
Lodge Urges Haste
Senator Lodge opposed delaying the
bill my objection TO sending the bill
back to conference is because | do not
want to delay or endanger the bill" Ing
said. Il want the bill to become law al
once because we are at war
