Of large part Of Armenian territories.
We solemnly proclaimed at Erzerum,. IN

and the provincial Armenian delegates,
the independence Of Armcnla. which in
cludes greater Armenia, Lesser Armenia
and Clician Armenia.
1--WE placed these countries under the
protection Of four Allied powers, Great

with the cruel truth that the volunteer
system not only kills industrial life"
he said, "but is totally unequal to the
task of raising maximum armies"
In describing the enactment of tho
American draft laws, General Crowdcr
spoke of the strength of the traditional
method of recruiting which resulted in
the permitting of enlistments during
the earlier days of the draft. He
praised Congressman Kahn and SEN
ator Chamberlain for their warm es-
deavors to secure the passage of the
draft act. Enlistments were dscon-
tinued, he said, when it was found that
they were directly antagonistic to the
efficient operation of the draft.
Part Civilians Played
"Trom the very first we realized the
necessity of intrustng the task Of rails
ing an army to civilians" he declared.
"To our conception Of a democratized
draft, administered by local civilian
boards expressing community and
reighborhocd judgments on selection
and deferment is, in my, judgment, due
the success of the draft in producing
man power both in the recruiting of
armies and the preservation OF indus
try.
"War had builded for us the sclec-
tive service system, and as builded it
is of the very essence of democracy,
integrating so we'll with our political
system that it would be calamitous
it seems to me, if it should not be-
come a recognized part of our gov
ernment system for the raising of
armies in time of war. 1t has de-
stroyed, | think, the volunteer system
for raising such armies. 1t was con-
clusively demonstrated in both Eng
land and America that the two sys-
! TENS are fundamently antagonistic and
cannot exist concurrently"
The speaker praised Secretary Baker
for his advice and cooperation and
commended the city and state officials
who turned the machinery of govern
ment to assist in the operation of the
selective service movement.
"But what of the army you have
raised 2" General Crowder concluded
"The answer comes in no uncertain
terms from France. What of your own
77th Division? Because of the various
nationalities composing it, it furnished
the crucial test of the selective service
system. 1t had it's baptism of fire in
the Chateau Thierry sector, fought
later along the Meuse and in the
Argonne Forest. 1t will return to you
with a record which will not suffer in
comparison with the best records made
by any of our divisions in the theatre
of war"

Senate Has Controversy
Over Newberry's Scat
Certificate of Election Offered.
but Withdrawn Before,
Action Is Taken

WASHINGTON. De. 14.-Presenta-
tion to the Senate to-day of the formal
election certificate of Truman II. New
berry, of Michigan, the Republican
Senatorial candidate who defeated
Henry Ford, Democrat, resulted in a
controversy which eliminated in with
drawal of the certificate for the
present.
Reference to alleged excessive ex-
penditures in Mr.. Newberry's election
and demands for an investigation were
made by Chairman Pomerene of the
Senate Privileges and Elections Com
mttee, and Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,
Republican
After lively controversy between
Democratic and Republican senators,
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, who
had presented the certificate, withdrew
It and, therefore, no vote was had on
Senator Pomerene's motion for com
mittee reference.
1t was apparently understood that
Senator Townsend would file the GER
tifcate later, but possibly not until
the new Senate convenes, March 4. to
which Mr.. Newberry has been declared
elected for six-year term.
Senator Pomerene said recount of
votes in Michigan is impossible under
state law. lie ADDED that ne had lnfOr-
nation that votes in various Michigan
precincts had not been counted and
other information which should be
made the subject of Senate inquiry.
Senator Ashurst declared the New
berry primary election accounts alone
show expenditures of $176,000.
"The question is" Senator Ashurst
declared, will the Senate seat men
coming with soiled and stained creden-
tials? It's our duty to investigate"

Burieson Assailed for
Mail Subway Proposal
New York Tribune
WrsJ,fn0fOn Bureau

New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Postmas-
ter General Burlcson was the target
for scathing criticism during consider
alton of the postoffice appropriation
bill to-day in connection with his pro-
posal to construct subway between
the Grand Central and Pennsylvania
stations in New York City to carry the
mails. Representative Peter F.. Tague,
of Massachusetts. and Representative
Jerome +. Donovan, Of New York City,
joined in the attack on the Postmaster
General
1T was pointed out that while Mr..
Burleson had "ruthlessiy wiped out"
the underground pneumatic mail tube
system in New York and other cities,
he was now coming forward with a
proposal to expend money for another
underground mail carrying system.
Congressman Tague recalled that dur
ing the fight to retain the pneumatic
tubes the Postoffice Department insist
ed that motor vehicles were entirely
adequate to take the place of the
tubes. In the recent annual report of
the Postoffice Department, Mr.. Tague
pointed out, there is a reversal on this
point, and the department frankly ad-
mits that street congestion makes de-
sirable the carrying Of the mails un-
derground
The mail subway proposal now ad-
vanced by the Postoffice Department
was assailed as being impracticable,
and it is predicted the cost of such a
construction would run into several
million dollars. The proposed mail
subway, it was pointed out, will have
to run under at least three of the city
subways, which would require exca-
vation at depth below 100 feet, and
in many places through solid rock.
The advisablity of constructing an
underground mail carrying system at
q great cost for handling second and
third class mail was seriously ques-
toned. 1t was pointed out that the
first class mail, which is carried at q
profit, merited speedy transportation
and that the classes of mail which
showed an annual loss of $60,000,000
had no claim for such rapid move
ment
Sentiment among members of the
House from all the larger cities still
favors the resumption of the pneumatic
mail tubes for first class mail. 1t is
probable that with the Republican Or
ganization in the House in the next
Congress measures will be introduced
to operate the tubes as government

Leriathan Coming
With $500 Troops
And Wounded To-day

The United States transport Levlathan,
formerly the Hamburg American liner
Vaterland. with about $500 soldiers and
sailors on board is expected to come into
Quarantine this morning at $3.50 o'clock
and dock at Pier in Hoboken about an
hour later. Her docking depends upon
the lifting of a thick fog which hung
tenaciously over the harbor yesterday
and which gave no indication of clear
ing late last night.
An army officer of the port of en-
barkation in charge of the vessels
docking said last night that she might
not be able to reach her pier before
10 a. M, as the fog that hung over the
harbor was reported as extending over
the coast as far as Nantucket Light
ship.
With such weather conditions pre-
vailing it is assumed that the Leviathan
would be forced to reduce her speed
from twentyfour to ten OF twelve
knots, q reduction that would put her
some two or three hours behind her
schedule
More public interest has centred
upon the Leviathan than upon any
other transport that has come into this
port since the American troops started
homcWard. Even in war time. because
of her size, the big liner has been an
unusual attraction whenever she ar
rived or departed from this harbor
She is the biggest passenger vessels
afioat, and on her trip which will end
to-day she carries the largest passen-
ger complement of soldiers and civil
lans that has been brought to New
York since the United States entered
the war.
According to advices received in Ho-
boken yesterday, the Leviathan has on
board 7,249 soldiers and sailors and
about 800 civilians, chiefly war workers
returning from England and France
She took on part of her travellers at
Liverpool and the remainder at Brest
where she steamed for coal.
The big vessel has 1T officers and
4.747 men of the navy, SO officers and
2,213 men of the army, Is women
rurses and officers and 108 men of
the American mercantile marine. Among
the men of the army there are a Off
GERS and 1,421 privates who are either
wounded or are recovering from non
contagious diseases contracted abroad

Fighters From France Will
Reach Manhattan When
Seas Permit Safe Entry

Hundreds of American soldiers,
tingling with anxiousness for the first
glimpse of Manhattan's towering sky
line. were held all day yesterday in
clouds of fog down the pay within a
few hours of the picture they longed
to see in reality for months as they
fought on the fields OF France
Further out to sea, speeding so that
her human cargo of about $500 fight
ing men might have the same vision
realized all the sooner, was the giant
Leviathan, bringing the greatest SOL
dier passenger list of the war. She
will dock some time to-day probably
this morning, at Pier, a, Hoboken.
New York yesterday was without the
thrill which has come almost daily for
the last two weeks. Not transport
went up the river. The city's whistle
chorus, which has been trained to well
come homecoming soldiers, was divert
ed to the task of warning harbor craft
caught in the fogbanks which settled
over the city and its waters early in
the morning.
Fog Proves Real Barrier
There were many narrowly averted d
collisions. The Hamilton Avenue ferry
boat Montauk and a United States navy
lighter crashed in Buttermilk Channel
off Governors Island. The passengers
were shaken up, but none was injured
Ferryboats between Staten Island and
South Ferry and New Jersey and Man
haitian were far off schedule.
Three or four transports were due to
dock yesterday, but if they reached port
they were lost in the fog down the bay
and did not dare to venture further
The Dorcha, SAINT Anna and the Sia-
mese Prince, all crowded with troops
and civilian war workers, we're be-
lieved to be lying at anchor just out
side the harbor, where IL was safe. The

morning.
The United States customs cutter
Immigrant started down the bay yes.
%erday to see what was out in the bay
She got off Governors Island and then
turned about and returned to her slip
at the Barge Office. The British trans.
port Empress of Britain, which brought
back a thousand or more troops Tues
day, was scheduled to sail yesterday
with returning British soldiers anc
officers, but her departure was post
poned because of the heavy weather.
Tug Hits Navy Lighter
The haze was probably at its wors
when the ferryboat Montauk and the
navy lighter crashed. The lighter
which was being towed by the tug
Charles Runyon, struck the port side O.
the ferryboat, causing the Montauk tt
careen so badly that passengers were
spilled out of their seats to the decks
while horses on board became so ex
cited they threatened to stampede.

Monday must be purely voluntary
Not one of the millions of men and

Compliance with these instructions,
the organization announced, will mean
that no persuasion has been necessary
to swell the Red Cross membership in
the campaign to continue through the

One of the principal reasons for
placing the registration on voluntary

a man who has no intention Of
marrying her. You see, it's play
ing with fire-that game as old
as the world.
To all girls who hold positions
under men employers I have to
offer a bit Of prosaic advice. /
beg them to keep their heads.
Impersonal Role Safest.
Do your best from the beginning
to be impersonal, as / suggested.
If you are so highly attractive and
your employer so susceptible
that this won't work-if he in
sists on talking to you as though
you were a pretty woman and
not a piece Of office furniture
try not to take his advances Sc
riously. You may be sure he is
not serious in making them. Try
to be older and wiser than you
are. Don't let it all fluster you.
You have your own life to lead as
well as your own living to make.
You can't afford to let yourself be
even the least bit emotionally up
set by a man who means nothing.
Being cool-headed is an excellent
policy. 1t will do a great deal for
you. 1t will discourage office fir
tstion to a great extent. But it
won't do everything.
A girl may be perfectly discreet
in her conduct and yet find herself
irresistibly Influenced by the de-
lightfully personal conversation of
the good-looking man at the large
desk in the inner office.
The day even comes when she
knows she's in love with him.
"What shall / do?" she asks me
in dismay and fear.
There's only one thing to do
whether you're in love with your
married employer, or your en-
ployer persistently tries to fiirt
with you.
You must give up your position.
l wish girls had more courage
about taking this step. ! know it
isn't always easy to find a new job.
But a week or SO out OF work is
nothing compared to a serious
emotional ENHANCEMENT that may
lessen your working capacity for
a long time.
Drop the whole thing. Get out
Of the office atmosphere. It's the
only way. Try to be a big strong
free woman and don't let the
course Of your life be turned aside
by a man who's merely using you
as a pastims.

She doesn't even know whether,
he's trying to make himself agree

What eighteen-year-old girl
