U.S.FAILED TO
PLAY MANSPART
International News Service.

international News Service.)
Washington, May 3-Declaring
that America had failed to play =
mans part" in the war, Senator
McCumber, Of North Dakota, in a
speech in the senate today called
upon the nation to provide 100000
fighting men and to REALLY get into
the war;"
"Since we entered the war our allies
have been fighting our battles" Sem
ator McCumber declared. 'We pro-
posed to have in France at the end OF
the first year of our war not less than
100000 fighting men. The year ended
with less than 100000. We purposed
to have in France before the end of
the first year flying squadron of
about $4,000, and tho end Of the year
we find the aircraft appropriation of
$3.50 100000 has been worse than
squandered.
"The first and greatest question that
confronted us when we entered this
war was the question of ship construc-
tion. Despite the fine percentage
showing the ugly fact still stares us in
the face that we have constructed only
two ships when the situation demanded
900 ships.
what have been the causes? Fore
most was Our unpreparedness. The
next important reason for our failure
to meet our war expectations has been
an almost total lack os foresight on the
great fundamental requirements.
Had we begun ship construction
Immediately after April 6. 1917 we
could have had 1900 600 men in France
by the first of January, 1918. Another
cause of delay has been the holding
back of construction while awaiting
the results OF experiments.
