WASHINGTON, March 25.-Warn-
ing those who hopefully predict that
the present war will be the last,
Senator New, Indiana, today urged
the senate to adopt at once universal
military training as safeguard for
the nations future.
senator New, speaking on this pro-
posed amendment to the resolution
for drafting men who have become
twenty-one since the fifth of June
last. declared that no one can fore
tell the force the United States Will
need to win the war. He scored those
who tell the country half truths
instead Of preparing the people Tor
long and bitter struggle.
at is time people should know the
truth" said Senator New. Within
the last few days, 1 have seen state
ments given out from high places for
which the best can be said is that
thew are perilously misleading. Any
thing that tends to keep the people
from a realization Of the truth, Is IN
INV opinion a huge mistake.
II is my deliberate judgment that
had the measure for which this
amendment provides been made
matter of national policy when it was
suggested three years or more age
and accompanied by substantial indus
trial preparations as it should have
heen. this country would have been
abIa before this to force peace sat
lisfactory and wholly credible to the
United States.
"Had we earlier devoted our ener
sies to preparation for war rather
than to issuing pronouncements o.
terms on which we would make peace
we would now be much nearer the
day when our voice as to the terms
would command and receive more at
tention-"

chief of police in Davenport is work
ing with the Rock Island CHIEF ana
also Mayor McConochie OF ROCK

lor of the Churchman'S federation
have locked horns, the churcnmen
claiming that the mayor should noo
have permitted conditions to get SO
bad that it would be necessary for
government agents to come IN anu
clean up the city.
Oscar Hewitt of the Chicago Her
aid, has been working in the 1slano
city for several days and Is giving
to the press some interesting reports
of vice conditions there and also OF
the governmental activities IN the
