Hefin Cites Mason's Speech.
Shouting that Berlin and the kaiser
would rejoice at some of the support

tive Hefiin. who later got permission to
revise and extend his remarks in the
Record. cited a speech made in the
House last February by Representative
Mason as an evidence that Mr.. Mason
was not true to the American cause.
He said in that speech Mr.. Mason
charged that there were secret treaties
between the allies; that American SOL
diers We're being drafted to settle the
title to real estate in Europe, and that
that blocked honorable peace. -
There was not one word In that
speech of censure against our enemy,

used as the forum or the Congressional
Record as the vehicle for pro-German
propaganda il can prevent it,

You can't say that to me-" yelled
back Representative Hefiin.
'Oh, 1 don't recognize the gentleman
either here or on the street" responded

that statement is false
Refers to Hefin's Record.
After Representative Hefiin had IN.
ished Representative Britten gained
the floor and shouted angrily at his
accuser from Alabama:
IF had voted in past years against
every naval appropriation and against
every military appropriation that was
intended to put our country In a state
of preparedness i also would want to
stand around on this floor and continue
! to wave the flag about myself to con-
vey to the people Of the country the
idea that l am patriotic at last, not
| withstanding the fast that l had at
tempted to throttle every increase in
the Army and the Navy during my term
of service in Congress. i would con-
tinue to yell flag and patriotism and
loyalty until the very heavens reeked
with my voice and the people Of my
| country had forgotten my misguided
condust. / would be ashamed Of
having voted the way / had in times
gone by. 1 would continue to bray, and
bray, and bray about patriotism and
about that flag, and then crow like Q
barnyard rooster about what ! was
going to do. now that we have gotten
into this war.
1T is not necessary for a member Of
Congress to continually roll himself in
the American flag in order to induce
people to believe that he is patriotic
that he is loyal"

BORLAND IDEA GETS
ANOTHER HARD JOLT.
Senate Subcommittee Decides
Also to Give Increases 10,
to $500. Mark. u

The subcommittee of the Senate ap-
preparations committee considering the
Legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill will strike from that
measure the Borland eight-hour amends
ment, but it will retain the provisions
for increases in salaries Of government
employees, making them still more lib
eral than those of the House bill. It
was learned today.
Instead of stopping the $12o a year
increase in salaries awarded by the
House bin at the two-thousand-doliAr
mark, the subcommittee will continue
the increase to those receiving up to
$4,000 a year.
A member of the subcommittee said
today it was clear that some OF the
employees receiving more than $1,000
should be given an increase in pay -
well as those receiving less.

The Borland eight-hour amendment.

sition not only in the subcommittee but
in the full committee. The subcomI

Another provision in the House bill
which may be eliminated is that which
would do away with the subtreasuries
in various cities six months after the
provision declares that 1t Is ridiculous
to legislate the subtreasuries out OF
existence at an indefinite time. They
contend that if the subtreasuries should
be done away with they should be
done away with now and not in the
