CROWDER OPPOSES
HOUSE PATCHING TO
THE DRAFT BILL
Provost Marshal General
Holds That Measure Is
Made Inequitable by
Amendment
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, April 25.-(Special.) Gen
eral Crowder has asked the Senate to
withhold action on the amendment to
new draft legislation enacted by the
House which would give each state credit
for soldiers who have volunteered there
from.
General Crowder, who is obviously dis
appointed that the House amended in
any respect the bill which he sponsored,
contends that the amendment will so OPP
crate that southern states will furnish a
big percentage of the next draft while
eastern and western states will furnish
only a small percentage He contends
that California will not be required to
furnish single man.
The Senate has requested Chairman
Dent in conference to retire from the
amendment of the House. Representative
Dent has declined. 1t is his position that
he will not return to the House until
General Crowder presents him with evil
dence proving beyond peradventure that
the Shallenberger amendment which was
supported by President Wilson, is caleb
lated to work inequalities in its opera
ton. If General Crowder has the proof,
Chairman Dent will return to the House.
II he has no proof of his contention,
Chairman Dent will stand pat.
Mr. Dent stated to the correspondent
of The Age-Herald this morning a con-
viction that the Shallenberger amendment
passed by overwhelming vote in the
House, could not so operate that Ala
bama would furnish 66 per cent of it's
first classification men to the service,
and California not man. All that the
amendment proposes is that California be
given credit for its volunteers in the
service of the army and navy for whom
credit has not already been given, and
Alabama be given the same credit. 1t is
understood that General CrowGer takes
the position that under the new legisla-
ton he must give California credit for
it's volunteers even though credit has pre-
viously been given.
That position is untenaSle, according to

NO SACRIFICE OF PRINCIPLE

, ssThe course suggested did not involve
the sacrifice of any principle. 1t was
simply a suggestion in the interest of the
highest good of all parties concerned.
IS. We note your statement: 1 believe
in Americanism which knows no reli-
gious distinctions in politics and public
affairs We do not indorse your posi-
ton that this is a question OF politics,
certainly not primarily SO. 1t is differ
emit from any purely secular Quesuon.
we also believe in 'Americanism,' and
therefore we contend earnestly for tho
Christian Sabbath as being fundamental
to the Christian faith which has made
Americanism' the synonym OF the high
est and hottest in the world OF today.
NECESSITY TO GREATNESS
1.-THE Pilgrim fathers, who laid deep the
foundations of this nation, recognized
the principles of the Christian faith as
being necessary to all abiding national
greatness, and the Christian Sabbath as
being Fundamental to the Christian faith
1t is this same stalwart faith of their
sons and daughters which has made this
land what it is-a Christian nation,
where the weary and oppressed of every
cline may find refuge.
you, my dear rabbi, are in position
to appreciate this as many of US can
not. You are in a position to appreciate
the vitalizing power of the Christian
Sabbath. Born at Homonna Hungary,
and educared at Homonna and at Buda-
pest, the formative period of your life
was spent amid conditions which felt not
the Transforming touch of virile Pro-
testant Christian faith amid conditions
which had felt the blighting breath OF
the Continental Sabbath.
while yet a young man you left your
native heath and sought refuge in the
land OF the Christian Sabbath and the
Protestant Christian faith. You are to-
day prJAd of your American citizenship,
and well you may be. We would not
have you forget, however, that it is the
Christian faith which is the secret OF
Americas greatness and the inspiration
of her Hottest ideals, and that the Chris
tan Sabbath is vital to this Christian
faith. They stand or fall together The
Sabbath, therefore, sustains a vital re-
lationship to the very life of the nation.
The wetghty words of Senator Charles
Sumner come to us today with a new
meaning: IF we would perpetuate this
republic, we must sanctify as we'll as
fortfy it; we must make it temple as
well as a citadel
~. We ere with you in your expressed
desire that we, Jew and Christian. work
together for the furtherance and better
ment of our country as whole and for
this very reason the safeguarding of the
Protestant Christian civilization which
has made this nation the land which we
love above all the world, we stand for the
Protestant Christian Sabbath which IS
fundamental to the very life and prog
ess of that Protestant Christian civiliza-
ton which has made this country the
land of the free and the home of the
brave
Again assuring you that we have the
most kindly feeling for our Jewish
