Hitchcock, of Nebraska, replied that
Secretary Baker and General March
simply objected to the addition of i'll
considered legislation to an appropri-
alton bill and asked for time to submit
programme approved by the Allies.
Blames Uncles and Aunts
Senator Borah, of Idaho, said while
he favored having 100000 men on the
front by June 80, 1919, he did not be-
lieve the hearings before the Senate
Military Committee disclosed the ne
cessity for calling boys of eighteen
years of age. England, with a popu
lation far smaller than the United
States, he said, raised an army of
6,250,00O soldiers before putting a
single youth on the battlelnes, and
reduce the minimum age limit below
nineteen years.
Information furnished him, Senator
Borah said. showed a million men en-
gagged in non-essential industries in
this country between thirtytwo and
forty-fve years of age. He added that
he did not contend boys of eighteen
and nineteen should not go to war, but
that they should not be indicted until
men in the preceding classes have been
called.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, de-
clared boys Of from seventeen to
triotic of all and that most of the
"grumbling" against including boys of
that age in the present bill comes from
their "uncles and their aunts."
Wants U. S. Flag in Berlin
Senator McCumber spoke vigorously
against overoptim ism because of the
Allies recent successes. and declared
no peace pact should be signed until
Germany had been made to pay heavily
for all the atrocities and other wrongs
she had committed.
Nothing short of planting the flag
in Berlin is going to win this war as
we ought to win it," declared Senator
McCumber, "and no peace pact should
be signed until there has been an I'M
conditional surrender on Gcrmany's
part that will provide for The deliver
ing up of the murderers Of Edith
Cavell and other innocents."
eve ought never to agr-e to peace
terms" he added, until we have
taught the Huns that no atrocities
war can take place in any other war
to come"
Opposition to drafting boys under
twenty-one years of age was voiced by
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, who
said if boys are to be called he favored
extending the maximum draft age to
include men of sixty years.
Tells of Youths in Army
Answering arguments Of opponents
of the plan to lower the draft ages to
eighteen, Senator Chamberlain called
the Senates attention to the fact that
Senators Martin, of Virginia, and Bank
head, of Alabama, entered the Con-
federate army, and Senator Nelson. of
Minnesota, and Senator Golf, of West
Virginia, entered the Union army,
when eighteen or younger. Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, enlisted when
seventeen years old, he added. Former
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, enlisted at
eighteen and was en- officer at nineteen.
Former Senator McKenna entered the
army at sixteen. Alexander Hamilton
was in the Coptinental army at nine
teen.
"The young men are the ones to fight
this war, if it is to be fought to a sue
cessful fnish," the Oregon Senator de-
clared, land America intends to fight it
to a successful finish"

Spirit of Lets Col" Seen
at Boards as Registration
Is Under Way
Lists To Be Hurried
Officials Prepare for Heavy
Task of Call Under New
Man Power Bill

Young men of New York who have
become twentyone years Of age since
June Yesterday inscribed their names
in Americas empower ledger.
The total number of men enrolled
in the greater city was 7,074. The
registration by boroughs was as fol-
lows: Manhattan, 1905; Brooklyn,
2,471; Bronx, s28; Queens, GIG; Rich
mond, IA.
More will register Monday under
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
provision that persons whose religious
faith forbds work on Saturday should
have until Monday night to comply with
the law. A large number of orthodox
Jews did not wait for Monday, but
registered between sunset and 9 o'clock
last night.
All Anxious to Serve
The registration was largely a case
of enrolling the names of recruits for
the service. Comparatively few Of
those who registered will be exempted
for physical or other reasons
According to Captain David Asche,
OIL dSSlot 1Ilt OlIeClOI VI CnO OTdIC, lew
OF the registrants asked exemption
Their attitude toward the whole affair
was as though it was a necessary for
mality that had to be gone through
with before they could embark on the
big adventure.
"When can | start?" was the prin-
cipal question asked of draft officials.
The case of a Brooklyn boy was cited
by Captain Asche as typical This
youth had slid over the twenty-one
year age limit by week He said that
he had tried to get into the service but
had been prevented by parental objec-
tions.
Prepare for Big Draft
he offered to show proof he became
of age one week ago and wanted to
make sure that there was no way by
which his parents could hold him back.
He wanted to start for camp then and
there. However, draft officials told
him it would be something like a month
before he could don khaki.
Some draft boards, having only a
score or or so to register, had the young
men fill out their missionaries at
once. Boards desired to get as much
as possible of the present task done.
so as to be freer for the really biz
JOB next month, when something like
100000 men will have to be regis
tered in New York City.

Nuns Prevent Fire Panic

A panic among 400 patients was
averted by the assurances of fifteen
nuns, when fire was discovered at $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning in the attic
Of st. Mary's Hospital, St. Marks and
Buffalo Avenues, Brooklyn.
Sister Marguerite discovered the fire,
turned in an alarm and went into the
wards with the other nuns to quiet the
patients, who were greatlysalarmed by
the dense smoke. There were no pa
tents in the ward Immediately below
the attic. for the room is being reno
waited. Two hundred sailors are under
treatment in nearby building. The
loss is estimated at $4,000

is concerned, but the chief difficulty. az
heretofore, has been in the way of dis
posing of her territories. 1t is fairly
certain, however, that the arrangement
to be decided will follow in broad
way the military situation in Turkey
England, which has driven the Turks
from Bagdad, will retain, even as 8
possession or q sphere of influence
Mesopotamia, with its rich oil fields
put what is quite as important to
britaln, Mesopotamia is high road tc
indla, and the London Cabinet con
slders it vital that England retain
control of it.
br!taln already has taken Egypt, over
which Turkey exercised suzerainty be
tore she entered the war, and it is
believed to be the British purpose to
erect Palestine into semi-independent
state, under British protection, as a
puher to protect Egypt
AS France and Italy have participated
IN the campaigns in Palestine, they will
GAIN a share in the distribution of
Iurklsh territory, and the problem
aHecting them is to devise a scheme
winch will do no violence to the prin-
clples they have proclaimed during the
war.namely, the right of peoples to
seif-dete rmination-and the denial of
aims Oh conquest.
Greece Also Has Claims
Frances sphere most likely would fol-
10" the tentative arrangement agreed
upon IN 1915, by which she would
receive Syria, but at that time Italy
was not in the war, and there will have
TO be a new basis of adjustment nego-
tlated. by which Italy would participate
IN the responsibility for the maintain
ing of the future peace Of the Near
East.
1t is not believed that England would
be willing to give up any former Turk
lsh territory on the southern shores of
the Mediterranean, and therefore Italy
would be obliged to seek sphere in
Asia Minor
Greece also lays claim to territory
along the extreme western coast of
Asia Minor, but the feeling here is
that her claims will be denied In adj
dition, Britain, France and Italy hold
islands which they are not expected to
relinquish until their permanent own
ership is decided at the peace confer
ence.
