when President Wilson remarked that
politics is adjourned" he was stating
fact that existed throughout the
country in spite of everything that the
politicians are trying to do. A Re
publican of prominence who has been
a member of the national committee
recently returned from a trip through
out the country extending from Wash
fngtOn to California.
The strangest thing that / OBJ
served" he remarked upon his arrival
In Washington, 'is the fact that l
found no one who would talk politics.
On the other hand, everybody was for
the war and earnestly determined TO
support the administration in the
prosecution of the war. AS nearly as
could see, the country is behind Pres
ldent Wilson, and although / am
stanch Republican, | firmly believe
that If an election for president were
TO take place tomorrow, President Will
son would be elected regardless of its
being Il third term. SO far as | OBJ
served. the people are in deadly ear
nest for this war and in support of the
administration which is prosecuting
it."

The debates in congress on the
draft extension bill showed conclusive
ly that great many senators and
representatives did not believe that a
sufficient number of men for army
service had been procured between the
ages of 81 and 81. Senator POmerene
of Ohio made a very strong speech In
which he criticized the failure of the
''cOmbing process" and he remarked
that there were too many men placed
in deferred classification. TOO many
young married men have been allowed
TO escape military service" said the
Ohio senator. at is ridiculous to say
that only such small proportion of
men between the ages of II and 81
were found available for military
duty" Senator POmerene was firmly of
the opinion that it was unnecessary to
take boys of IS and 10 when so many
well-to-do men had been placed in de-
ferred classes under the previous
draft.

; Considerable comment was aroused
in the house when Congressman John
son of Washington exhibited a 10S-
pound page in a soldiers outfit as an
argument that boys of IS are too
young TO be drafted. One amusing ref
erence to Johnson's action was made
by Congressman Langley of Kentucky.
ST do not believe" said Langley, that
there is single member of this body,
with the possible exception of Uncle
Joe Cannon, who could not Outpoint
that boy in any physical contest, and |
am not so sure but that even Uncle
Joe might come out CT it the master"

was brought up by Senator Thomas of
Colorado. chairman of the subcommit-

that the committee on military affairs
had instructed him to have it read so

the Colorado senator interrupted: In

the presence of the senate, ! ask that
frs further reading be dispensed with"
That report was too important for SEN
stors to listen to it. They wanted 20
