five MILLION MUST
Be SENT WITHIN YEAR
Senator McCumber Declares
Nation Will Not Perform
Duty Otherwise.

Washington. May 3O.-F'ive million
men must be sent on the battlefront
by the United States within year,
Senator -McCumber, of North Dakota,
declared today in an address to tho
senate which reviewed Americas work
in its first Year of tho war; The re-
suits have been almost negligible up
to the present, he said. Six months
have been wasted by the Shipping
Board and $64,0OOO00 for aircraft tt
has been worse than squandered," he
declared.
eff we fail to put less than five mil
lion men on the fighting line before
the end of another year, he contin-
ued, I'VE again will have grossly failed
to measure up to our moral duty. We
will have charged to our discredit an
other year of colossal blunders.''
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement of President Schwab, of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, that
the United States would produce ship
tonnage of only 100000 dead weight
in 1919 with the estimates of the u
boats losses of several million tons
gross in 1918, and said:
"a program which contemplates but
100000 tonnage is trit1ing with the
most serious question that ever con-
fronted the people of this country. 1t
is worse than trifling; it is suicidal.
Our only hope of winning this
war is being able to keep our Allies
IL the field another year. That means
that it is incum bent on us to supply
them. with food. If we can't get
armies into the field, let us at least
get food and ammunition to those
who are fighting our battles.'
AS a preface to his conclusions the
senator asserted that what we had
la cked most was the foresight and
determination to get up and begin,
when the flying sparks of that great
world war threatened to produce a
confia grafton that might force us on
the firing line
I'VE seem to have gotten so be-
wildered in a maze of little things
that we have lost sight of the great
requrem ents,'' he said. THE failure
o. our shipping board is the most
a2gravating example of failure to
grasp a big situation"
''Unparalleleu extravaganza along
every line of national endeavor was
another reason of failure" the sem
ator contended. I'VE have been
literally burning up the money which
the taxpayers have paid to create
and support q fighting army, he
charged 'WhiIe VIC can't win this
war without buying Liberty Bonds
neither can we win it by making bon
fires of the money received from Lib
erty Bonds
The buster Of the public press, he
said, which has grossly exaggerated
everything in our favor has been an
other factor in the delay.

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN

No class OF people devotes as
much time to beauty as do &C
tresses, and no class must be
more careful to retain and develop
their charms. Inquiry develops
the information that in hair care
they find It dangerous to shampoo
with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the
best hair wash and scalp stiInu-
lator, at a cost of about three
cents. one need only get a pack

the hair instead of just the top OF
the head. Alter its use the hair

ZIHLMAN WATER BILL

The Districts three Commissioners
have gone on record in favor OF the
bill OF Representative Zihlman TO
bring about an increase in the Capt.
tails water supply.
While the District heads have not
read the measure fully. they expressed
qualification yesterday that initial
steps had been taken in Congress to
insure Washington and the Federal
reservations in Virginia and nearby
Maryland communities a sufficient
water supply for the fnture.
The figures for last Thursday show
that 81. 10000 gallons were consumed
by the Capital on that day. although
the estimated safe daily capacity Of
the conduit is 6S.O0o.Oo0 gallons. on
cials fear that with the coming of hot
weather the city may use close TO
S0.0O0.00O gallons daily. This would
bring about a critical situation in the
Capital. in the opinion OF officials.
