Senate Committee Sustdins Wilson
by Voting Not TO Recommend That
Senate Probe Charges of BOrglum


presidents letter said that |
should regard the passage Of this
resolution as a direct vote of
want of confidence in the admin
istration. The purpose which it
undoubtedly expresses has been
expressed again and again in va
rious forms during the present
session and has always seemed to
originate in a rooted distrust of
those who are at present in
charge of the executive functions
of the government.
Those executive functions are
verify clearly understood. They
have been defined both where the
responsibility for them lies or
what the methods are by which
those who are responsible can be
held to their duty.
Enters Earnest Protest.
Such activities on the part of
a particular committee of the
senate as this resolution would
look forward to would constitute
nothing less than an attempt to
take over the conduct of the war,
or at the least. so superintendent
and direct and participate in the
executive conduct of it as TO in
terfere in the most serious way
with the action of the constituted
executive.
"T protest most earnestly
against the adoption of any such
action and shall hope that every
senator who intends to support
the present administration in the
conduct of the war will vote
against it,
"These are serious times and it
is absolutely necessary that the
lines should be clearly drawn be-
tween friends and oppopents"

tile delay as possible.
In asking Mr.. Hughes to help in the
1vestigation the president said:
you have doubtless noticed
that very serious charges of dis
honesty have been made in con-
nection with the production of
aircraft.
Because Of the capital import
ance of this branch of the mill

charges should be thoroughly in

as possible in order that the

be promptly and vigorously pros

Washington, May 15.--In n letter
today to Senator Martin of Virginia
democratic leader in the senate. Pres.
ident Wilson declared he would re-
gard passage of the Chamberlain reso-
tuition, calling for an investigation of
aircraft and other war activities as
"a direct vote of want of confidence
in the Administrations and an attempt
by congress to take over conduct of
the war.
Upon receipt of the presidents let
ter Senator Martin called dozen
prominent democratic senator's into
conference to discuss what disposition
should be made of the Chamberlain
resolution.
Differences of Opinion.
Considerable difference of opinion
was voiced. Some senator's said the
resolution was subject to the view
that it might be used as authorizing
a general conduct Of the war; in
vestigation Others contended its
terms limited the military committee
solely to army affairs.
In consideration of the Chamber
lain resolution the expenditures COM
mittee called Senator Chamberlain be-
fore it and at a spirited session the
Oregon senator disclaimed that the
military committee, under the resolu-
tion, ever had intention of holding
any general inquiry into the conduct
of the war" With much show of
feeling Senator Chamberlain told the
committee that its whole and only"
purpose was formal and In accord
ance with customary routine and also
to give the committee somewhat
more power" than 1t had for past in
vestigations.
Senator Chamberlain said he was
ready to take the whole question to
the floor of the senate" and make his
record" there.
Letter From President
1t developed at the meeting that the
military committee has held past in
quiries by authority of somewhat
similar resolution adopted early at the
present session of congress after, how
ever the committee itself had form
ally ordered the war inquiry begun
last Decemher. |

WARRINGTON. March 29,-- The
resolution extending tho solective
draft to men reaching the age OF y
years aincn June 3. 1ai7--the first
registration duy--was passed. tonight
by the senate without a record vote
after q futile attempt had been made
to add to II a provision for training

mon viii be added TO the registra-
ton this year by the resolution
which is ono Of the pieces OF legis.
latlun on which the war department
is waiting before announcing com

Tho proposal to require training
Of boys over 10 and under registra-
ton ago was in the form OF an
amendment by Senator New OF In

after debate Of several days. A

There was no oppsoitiol to tho

versy being over the new amend

argued that training youths would
hamper urgent army enterprises
and take the labor from farms and
