WATER POWER BILL HAS SOME CHANGE
DRASTIC MEASURE INTRODUCED BY MR. SIMS IS LABELED
 "FoR NATIONAL DEFENSE"
SENATORS LIKELY TO YIELD
Government Can Easily Procure All the Money Necessary to Carry on the War, Says Prominent Official Senator Weeks Congratulated.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-The water power Dill which has been before congress for so many years is still dragging it's slow length along and there is yet great doubt whether the senate and house can get together after the house passes the pending bill. The water power bill has never been pressed as q war meas ure, but there are indications that it will be placed in that category and urged by the president which will mean action of some kind. Congress will not refuse to pass what is eonsid- cred a necessary war measure. Con 9ressman Sims of Tennessee, who has charge of the water power legislation, has introduced very drastic bill and has put the usual title upon it which provides flor national defense and greater security during the war" It gives the president authority to take over all kinds of water power plants and to utilize such water power as may be deemed necessary for war pur- poses. Under this bill all the water power in the country can be taken over by the government, and all of the sites In the western country over which there has been so much dispute, be- cause the states claimed the water rights, could be taken by the govern ment and utilized. in which case all of the ideas of the most ultra-conser- Yationists would be carried out It will be quite a serious thing for many men in the senate to surrender the rights of the states in water power, but they would have to do it if the bill comes up in the form of war measure.

possible When the last draft lou was put into operation there woe more or less opposition and in manv communities efforts were made to evade the law. not so much by tho men who were subject to the draft ne by those who were really opposed to carrying on the war and who shared the idea. which was once fostered to q large extent by certain people in this country, that the government had no right to draft men to fight on for. eign soil. All that has been settled so far as legal questions are involved and there is no reason why everybody should not periodically endeayor to help the government to carry out tha new draft law with energy and effec. tiveness.

There are many senators and representatives who no doubt would like to revise the records which they made when the United States first entered the war. It is we'll known fact that considerable propor- ton of the membership of congress was opposed to the war and would not have voted for it had it not been for the urgency of the president. Even when they voted for war a great many of them expressed the fervent hope that American troops would never be sent to Europe and that they would not suffer death and wounds on the battlefelds The idea which seemed to prevail among so many congressman was that we were entering the war on the moral side and did not intend to do any real fighting. But this is not that kind of war. Nothing but the hardest kind of fighting can win.
 Now that American troops have been engaged for some time on the western front and have given good account of themselves, it is probable that q diff ferent idea perYades congress and that those men who were paeifsts, anti draft men, and antiwar men wish that they had taken q different course. The defeat of quite q number of them has been serious lesson, and there are others who fear that they may be treat cd to the same kind of medicine if campaigns are made against them on their war record in congress.

No one can look at the casualty lists Of American soldiers fighting in France without seeing that this is truly a war of all the people. Practically every nationality Is indicated by the names of these killed and wounded men. Italian, Jewish. Russian. Polish, SpaD- ish, Scandinavian, and every other race and people on earth are repre- scented either by their native-born sons who emigrated to the United States or by American-born children of such eml- grants. Many of the names of men who gave up their lives to help crush Prussiansm stand as silent proof of their own German ancestry.

There ought to be an object lesson for the socialist German sympathizers of America in the method which Ger many has adopted of making petty German kingdoms of Russian provinces that have long been seeking to es- tablish republican form of govern ment. Of course the object is to Ger manize these provinces and bring them under the control of the German em- pire and make use of them to carry on the war against republican institu- tions and democracy the world over. There can be no doubt about the in- tention of Germany and 1t is surpris- ing that she should have any support by people who are proclaiming their love of freedom and liberty.

The least of our troubles is the rais- ing of revenue to carry on the war" was the comment of n prominent off, eial, when the talk turned upon the worry the ways and means and senate finance committees were indulging in over the revenue bill. "There will never be any question about money" he continued, "because every govern ment is able to get money to carry on war, no matter how poor 1t Is. This big, rich country can easily get the money. If it doesn't get it one way it'll get it in another. Of course, the easiest way for the people is to give their money for Liberty bonds, in which event they are sure to get it back, and while the government has it they will get good interest. That is much better than paying out money and getting tax receipts. But in one way or another the money will come in, even if there has to be forced loan, or the issuing of fiat paper. As long as the war lasts there will always be money enough to pay for it."

The "slicker" problem which stirred up so much comment in congress few. l. months ago seems to be on it's way te settlement by the military heads.s "Slicker" was the term applied to the thousands of reserve officers and men who were on duty in Washington and who, congress thought, should be near CT the actual fighting. Several war department bureaus have issued or ders that all physically fit officers and enlisted men now in Washington shall e assigned to active service and be replaced by women or men physically disqualified for service in the field. Little or no criticism was made of the many naval reserve. who were station cd at headquarters, but the naval au- thorities are making ready to apply the same system as that established by the war department.

The government is still troubled with the publication of insidious articles which often turn out to be German propaganda. There seems to Be no way in which the government can reach such publications except to take note of them and then write to the editor of the paper pointing out the harm they do. Government off cials are now fully aware of the man. ner in which the country has been in- Tested with German agents. Much of the propaganda develops In opposition to the governments plan for carrying on war work. No doubt a great many people are inconvenienced by govern ment interference with their usual vacations. but it should be remembered that as a general rule everything fhe government is doing to carry on the war has been the result of careful consideration before action was taken. Instead of making complaints ft is bet ter to lay the blame upon the internal German machine which has brought about all our troubles.

What becomes of the spies? That Is question that is sometimes asked and Is never answered. We are quite well aware that great many spies have been arrested, but further than the an- nouncement of such arrest little or nothing is heard of them. It is al- together likely that such spies are well taken care of. In fact. 1t Is doubtful whether 1t is necessary to take the same spy twice if his guilt Is proved. If there is one class more than another that deserves the sever est punishment, 1t is that element in America which furnishes aid to the en- emy of the United States in time like this, and such punishment Is particu- larly due to those spies who are aid ing the German sea monsters along our coast to sink American vessels and drown American citizens who are not in the fighting forces of America.
