ever, that the oil supply will be taken

almost negligible up to the present,
he said. Six months have been wasted
by the shipping board and sS40,-
600, for air craft has been worse
than squandered.
"If we fail to put not les than five
million men on the fighting line be-
fore the end of another year." he con-
tinued. I'VE will again have grossly
failed to measure up to our moral
duty. We will have charged to our
discredit another year of colossal
bIunders."
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement of President Schwab of the
emergency fleet corporation that the
United States would produce ship ton
mage of only ten million dead weight
in 1919 with the estimate of the u
boat losses of seven million gross tons
in 1918 and said:
"A program which contemplates
hut ten million tonnage is trifling with
the most serious question that ever
confronted the people of this country.
1; is worse than trifling. it is suicidal.
Must Get Food to Allies.
Our ,nly way of winning the war
is in being able to keep our allies in
the field another -cSr. That means
that it is incumbent upon us to sup
ply them with food. If we can't get
armies into the field, let us at least
send food and munitions to those who
are fighting ou~ battles.'
AS d preface to his conclusion, Nc
Cumber asserted that what we had
lacked most was the foresight and
determination to get up and be doing
when the flying sharks of that great
world war threatened to produce a
conflagration 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 re-
quirements," he said.
THE failure of our shipping board
is the most aggravating example of
failure to grasp a big situation
Money Has Been Wasted.
Unparalleled extravaganza along
every line of national endeavor was
another reason of failure, the North
Dakota senator contended.
I'VE have been literally burning up
the money which the taxpayers have
cheerfuIly paid to create and support a
! fighting army he charged. while
we can't win this war without buying
| liberty bonds neither can we win it by
making bonfires of the money re-
ceived from liberty bonds"
The bluster of the public press, he
| said. which has grossly exaggerated
! everything in our favor has been an
other factor in the delay.

State, However, To Receive
Credit for 1000 Volunteers.
That Number Will Be Deducted
From Official Quota.
Topeka Allotment IS 400
Credits May Reduce This Num-
Der to 225 From City.
County Estimate of 175 May
Diminish to 100.

The Kansas quota for the May draft
WIFI be 1900 men, according to
rough estimate made late this after
noon in the adjutant generals office
following the receipt of a telegram
from Washington announcing the
tional quota of 250.OO0 men for May.
Volunteers in Kansas who will be
taken from this quota will number
from 1000 to 5000 men, it was an
nounced. The volunteers were not sub
tracted from the April call and the
call of May 10, those being listed as
emergency calls, it was stated, while
this 100000 is a regular call from
which the volunteer enlistments may
be taken off.
without counting credits to Topeka
city and Shawnee county, the local
quotas will probably total somewhere
in the neighborhood of SIS Credit
records have not been figured at the
office of Charles S. Huffman, ad1utant
general Neither has the exact quota
from either of the city districts OF
Shawnee county outside Topeka. Cen
eral estimates-not allowing credits
place the city quota at 400 and the
county outside of the city at 175.
In the first call under the selectlVe
draft Kansas was asked to furnish
11.164 men. The state was given
credit for 1895 and furnished a net
total of 6,439. Had the entire quota
been taken, Topeka would have fur
nished 453 men from her two city
districts and the county at large would
have sent 2O3 men. The city was en-
tirely exempted a result of ma
tionaI guard enlistments and the
county's quota was trimmed to 119
men. Using the old figures basis.
it is probable that the total under
call for 1890 men would give the two
city districts Il gross total of 400 and
the county gross total of 175. from
which deductions must be made in
proportion to enlistments and prior
inductionS.
On the basis that the state at large
furnishes 1890 men and the gross
credits are 1850, the above figures
would allow for a probable net total
from the two city districts of 225 and
from the county of 100 after making
all deductions. That is on the broad
and general rough estimate that the
percentage of inductions from Shaw
nee county is an average for the state
at large.
