on first impression 1t would imply
an absolute failure to comprehend
the military requirements which is
almost beyond reason"
Senator Hitchcock. Democrat. OF
Nebraska, said the Army program
was enlarged at allied war confer
ences and the man-power bill was
submitted Immediately after the size
of the enlarged Army was decided
upon.
Senator Penrose continued:
We'll, the chairman of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs rather
confesses that the Secretary of War
has made no solid explanation of
this matter. and it does not seem
to me that the explanation of the
Senator from Nebraska is satisfying
to a serious-minded person-that a
conviction as to the size of our Army
was not known three weeks ago,
when thousands of men were being
killed every day and our Armies
were threatened with defeat and dis
aster; that some mysterious inter-
national roundup had to be made
before they knew whether or not
we needed two million or three mil
lion one way or the other.
Suspects ProcraStination
That may satisfy the mental cali
Der which seems to prevail in the
councils of the War Department, but
it will certainly not satisfy the great
mass of the American people. That
Secretary Baker did not know we
needed an Army of four million
men two weeks ago is too ridiculous
a statement to pass without a chal-
lenge.
Il am more disposed to think that
they did not dream that thsy could
get the troops over so speedily as
they have done or that the fatal de-
feet of procrastination prevailed,
which 1 have observed in many of
the departments, and even in this
body, as, for instance, when the ma
jority failed to have a quorum the
other day for the consideration of
this measure, or that element of per-
sonal vanity that insists that sugges-
tions must emanate from the de-
partment.
Now within three weeks I am
called upon to stultify myself and
vote for the pending bill, which en-
larges the draft, including the provi-
sion lowering the draft age to eight
cen and other features. l intend to
vote for it, but / intend to be more
cautious in the future and to listen
to the passing requests of the War
Department with q view of not being
again in the same position of having
to reverse my vote in a matter OF
the magnitude involved in the ques-
ton whether the Army shall be four
million men or one and a half mil
lion men in a period of three weeks.

Our headquarters were located near
a railroad and also near a bridge,
so that there were three good tar
gets for the aviator. We heard his
plane and-American- n-like-exposed
ourselves to look him over. He was
flying low and dropped several
bombs. one of which exploded quite
near and killed Sergeant Schoch
and killed four others. This hap

wounded prisoners. AS our forces ad-
vanced they. of course, found these
men.
"One OF these was the American
cook. During the seventy-two hours
he was a prisoner they did not give
him food or dress his wounds. The
wounds were dressed at a French
station by a doctor of our division:
The leg which the doctor said could
easily have been saved, will have to
be amputated."
Raymond S. Hartman, of Mount
Vile, describes his experience with
Hun gas.
I'VE had a dugout made. into
which we went while the heavy firing
came right down through 1t, Killing
three and injuring three. After TAX
ing them to the hospital, we came
back and put up a new gun.
"Our corporal was sitting back or
the gun, and Keller, a boy from New
Philadelphia. stood on the left side
of the gun, with another and myselt
on the right. A big shell burst right
in front of the gun. injuring the cor
poral and Keller so badly that they
died as we were taking them to the
hospital. That is when we got the
gas. Believe me, sure had mar
row escape. The Lord sure did help
me-"

Lieut.. Adolph Timm, of Mahanoy

| Mason county holds strategic po-
sition in the campaign to raise $4,000
of the 100000 to me raised in the
state to supplement similar sum to
be furnished by the Federal Govern
ment to establish in Kentucky farm
school for delinquent girls, the need
for which is made greater by the
presence in the state of a military
training camp.
The Fifth District Is raising or has
raised $4,000 and the remaining ten
districts are raising $1,000 each.
The campaign chairman Of the
Ninth District, Mrs. Stanley Reed, be-
ing a Mason county woman, is anx-
ious to announce the quota raised in
her county in order to stimulate the
other counties in the district.
The state chairman for the ten dis
tricts, Miss Alice Lloyd, feels that she
can press the work in the other dis
tricts with greater confidence when
she can announce that the Ninth Dis
trict has raised its quota.
The matter has been presented this
week at the prayer meetings of four
of the churches in Maysville and at
the meeting of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Council of National De-
Tense.
The main facts have pretty well
permeated the community and our
citizens are in position to act. Mason
county is asked for $500.
Make contribution. Ask others
to make contributions. Send the
money or check to Mrs. Reed or leave
II at the First-Standard Bank.
