THREE BILLS TO
I. INCREASE THE MAN
POWER INTRODUCED

Washington, April 3o.-Three bills
to increase Americas man power in
the war were introduced today in the
senate. Senator Poindexter of Wash
ington offered one authorizing the
president to call Immediately 1,5O0,-
900 men under the selective draft
law: Senator Reed Of Missouri offered
one to add 100000 men to the army.
and Senator Smith Of Georgia intro
duced a resolution proposing to raise
the army to 100000 men.
The principal prohibitory clause of
the bill provides that: -{t
"Any association, one Of whose pur-
poses or professed purposes is to bring
about any governmental, social. in
dustrial or economic change within
the United States by the use without
authority Of law. Of forces violence or
physical injury to person or property,

For Striking Soldier

Mason City, Iowa. April s0.-
Strong patrols were on duty here last
night. and the city was quiet from
midnight until this morning. Prompt
action of the city council in dismiss
ing Max German, chief Of police. is
believed to have prevented a serious
demonstration. German is. alleged to
have struck Nels Overson, of St Paul.
a drafted soldier. as Overson was be-

ter. &
The incident took place at a rail-
road station late yesterday where
Overson and the other men were pre-
pairing to leave for Camp Dodge.
Friends of the chief of police declare
that German became excited because
he thought Overson refused to re-
move his hat, WREN the "Star Spang.

ORRESPONDEllTS
AGREE GERMANS
WERE DEFEATED
Successful Allied Defense
Made Day Bloodiest Enc
my Has Experienced.

London. April 3o.-via Ottawa
The correspondents with the British
army agree that the enemy yesterday
suered nothing less than disastrous
defeat 1t was the first phase Of the
battle in his desperate attempt to
capture the line Of hills held by the
allies which endanger his possession
Of Mont KENNEL. The Germans
have probably used thirteen divisions
from the east of Ypres southwark in
line, of battle, with two more north
ward, and the violence of the gum
fire was never greater or more un-
ceasing at any period of the war.
The successful allied defense made
the day the bloodiest yet experienced
by the enemy. as attack after attack
was smashed by artillery and infantry
fire. The Germans had already suf
fered heavily on Sunday, when their
concentrations of troops were caught
and shattered by gun fire. Their
waves yesterday were moved down
and the British wings and French
center neither bent nor broke.

Washington, April !" 3o.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today re-
quested congress to eliminate from the
bill extending the draft to youths now
Fl years Of age the amendment put
ting. at the bottom Of the eligible list
those who would register under the
measureand asked that the bill basing
draft quotas on the number of men
in class one be amended to make its
operation retroactive. 4
General Crowder made his request
in letters to the chairmen of the SEN
ate and house military committees.
OF the proposal to put the new reg
istrants at the bottom of the list of
eligibles, General Crowder said:
''The plan proposed by this Office
would result in the registrants being
given order numbers scattered
throughout the entire list Of order
numbers. This seems to be fairer
than the plan proposed by the amend
ment. The result of the house amend
ment in many jurisdictions will be to
delay the calling Of these young men
for considerable time. In the mean
time their status will have changed;
tegrated with the industries Of the
country.
Moreover it establishes a precedent
which may be appealed to provided
aliens are registered under the pro-
visions ,of the new legislation based
upon treaties to be negotiated

retroactive would apply It to men of

The Avenue of the States

1t is good conception that the Fifth
Avenue Association has put forward for
the decoration Of Fifth Avenue when
our victory parades begin. The Avenue
of the States will probably not be as
beautiful as the Avenue of the Allies.
1t will not have the same wealth Of
historic color and design. But there is
a plenty Of vitality in the traditions
and symbols Of our states, as every one
who has ever visited one Of our national
expositions and seen the state buildings
there will testify. And, what is more,
the setting will fit perfectly the parade.
Such unit as the Rainbow Division is
literally division of the states. Our
whole army is built upon that plan. Such
a scheme Of decoration will stress exact
ly the point which is so we'll worth cele-
brating, the devotion with which our
whole country, every hill and valley and
hamlet north, east, south and west, has
united in the victory and the sacrifice.
Afterward, why should not New York
our old Guard regiments, the 165th and
those of the 9th Division; there are
the Upton regiments, all with glorious
record behind them 1t would be alto
gether fitting that New York should see
her own fighting men in this fashion and
be enabled to pay them the tribute that
they deserve. For this pageant we could
return to the Avenue of the Allies, the
symbol all our men have fought for and
the record of new outlook upon the
world
New-York tribune., 1918-11-26
The Navy

Secretary Daniels is right in urging
Congress not to slow down on naval con-
struction. We have been aiming at hav
ing a navy in 1920 twice as strong as it
was in 1917 That is proper aim.
Our navy was not strong enough in
1917. That we quickly discovered after
getting into the war. We had a feet in
1914 which was inferior to Germany's.
We still have a fleet far inferior to
Great Britain's. But if we mean to main
tain first-class navy, it should equal
that of any other power in the world.
Great Britain and the United States are
Ito assume a large share Of the future
burden of guaranteeing the peace of the
world, whatever the form taken by the
league of nations which the Versailles
conference will be asked to construct, In
that task we should be at least an equal
partner.
Sea power will remain / factor of vast
Importance in international relations
The United States intends to be a great
maritime nation. We cannot, therefore,
have too strong Il navy. The present
naval programme is not overambitious
1t should not Be cut.

Reconstructing Baseball

Not devastated district of France is
in any more parlous condition than the
once proud and naughty realm of Ameri-
can professional baseball. War finished
off the job that mudde- -headedness and
money grabbing and plain corruption
had begun. Reconstructing baseball is
about the most ticklish problem thrust
upon the great American nation by the
armistice
The idea of putting Mr. Taft in as a
sort Of benevolent dictator is founded
on real sense. 1t is virtually a confes-
sion that there is not enough virtue in
professional baseball to heal itself-and
that is the general opinion to r. Base
ball has been slipping for long time.
1t has slipped so far that the superficial
observer might doubt whether it could
ever be restored to its old glory. But
it has II tremendous tradition and Gus
tom on it's eide. 1t is the great Amcri-
can game beyond pursuit Of rival. It

The Boasts of Kultur

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir At the, recent convention of the
United Lutheran Church in this city The
president of its General Council said he
wished to correct the belief of some that
the Lutheran Church in this country is not
thoroughly American.
Lutheranism is State church. His
torians have long considered the Reforma-
tion in Germany a political movement. The
power of the Holy Roman Empire in Ger
many passed from the Pope to the Hohen-
zolern dynasty and the Kaiser was su-
preme head of Church and State. The
Lutheran Church, without definite changes
in it's constitution, is not American.
The same speaker said: "The Lutheran
Church was in North America three years
before the Pilgrim Fathers ever set foot
upon New England soil there was an or
ganized Lutheran Church in Manhattan 140
years before the American Revolution, and
but for the German Lutherans in Pennsyl-
vania the combination of the United
Colonies would have been impossble.'
These claims remind US of the familiar
boasts of Kultur-that Adam and Eve were
German, that Lincoln was of German de-
scent, that the ideals of individual liberty
called Anglo-Saxon came from the early
German tribes etc. That the United
Colonies would have been impossible with
out Germans is something new, but we have
been told by Germans that Steuben won
thu Revolutionary War. The fact is that
tht French brought him over and he was
we'll paid, Lafayette alone was the dealist
and savior.
birthday of Martin Luther is back of No
vember II, 1918; his great message of
spiritual liberty was the counterpart of the
great democratic movement of to-day" No
historian, outside of Germans, accepts such
statement. Germany had no free Church.
Puritans, no Huguenots. In Millions
prose writings on the Rcformations he
speaks Of Wcklffe as "thc candle at which
all other reformers lighted their tapers."
and, in fact, Wickliffe, Huss and Calvin
so much more important than Luther
that it is only possible to understand the
prominence given 70 Luther by the claims
and boasts of Germans, just as they have
made false claims in science and art, which
the world has formerly been too careless to
investigate and now finds to belong to other
nations.
