LONDON, Aug. 2s.-Lord Robert

August ~ by DR.. v. s. Solf. the Ger
man Secretary OF State for the Colon
les. Lord Robert said the British gov
ernment has been collecting and VIII

brutality and caliousness in governing

Lord Robert said that DR.. Soils ut
teranceS were very remarkable ESSAY
N psychology" which seemed to indi-
cate that sections of German opinion
were beginning to realize that the atti-
tude taken by the pan Germans must
be disastrous to the future of Ger
many.
he added that. it was not his view
that the pan-Germans were done for,
a IN the last resort they would always
dominate Germany.
The speaker referred to Dr.. Solf's
statement about Belgium. saying 1t sp-
peared 70 represent an advance toward
oecency, but 1t was not clear. H chal-
lcnged Or. Solf to say ii he meant that
Germany w.as prepared to give UP Bel
gium and to restore the damage done.
Let him say this in plain language
SO that the whole world VIII under
stand" he added
ne Under Secretary then cited how

mann had been ousted as German Min
lster OF Foreign Affairs because ne said
Germany could not have things ali her
own way, and declared the German
chancellor Count Won Hertlinc) also
nad been made to explain away a
phrase he had uttered about the resto-
ration of Belgium
Eeterring TO the Brest-Litovsiz treaty..
Lord Robert said tha. any one who had
seen the way the so-calleG indepeadent
states were created would see 1t had
been done SO that they would have as
little independence a. possible.
" hen Foreign Secretary Balfour re-
cently y said the German colonies could

ditchers in opposition TO lowering the
draft ages supported by amendment
proposed by Representative Blacllmon
OF Alabama. TINS would have left the
minimum age at 2l. It was voted
down. 1914 to 70. Representative John
son Of Washington was beaten. 172 to
80, in an attempt TO reduce the age
TO 49,
Representative Lunn, of New York
sought 20 protect the 1S-year-old bows
by substituting the words so far as
practlcable' in the Mckenzie amend
ment. This would have directed the
War Department to draft the older men
1lrst-so lar as practicable. This was
bad!y beaten without a rising vote.
So far as could be observed from the
press gallery the only New York mem
hers OF The House who voted for the
Mckenzie amendment were Meyer Lon
con and Representative Chandler.
Champ Clark and Floor Leader
kitchin voted for the Mckenzie amend
rlcnt.
After the defeat Of the Mckenzie
amendment Representative Johnson. Of
Washington, one of the most enthusi-
a5tic defenders OF that proposal, sought
to have the draft age raised from forty
five to fifty. This was defeated, 1853
To 103
One OF the big surprises WAS the
adoption Of an amendment directing
the drafting of aliens of co -bellieerent
nationality and the rcclass.ica.lon OF
those already registered so as to de-
pr'Ye them of any deferred classifca-
tson on account OF their henc aliens
Although opposed by both branches Of
the committee. this was adopted bv 1875
70 a. The text Of this amendment
proposed by Representative McCul-
i0ugn, OF ONO, was as follows:
no alien who IS citizen or subject
o. any OF the countries cob -bellieerent
with the United States in the present
war snail, unless contrary to existing
treaties, be granted exemption from
mllitaryl service or placed in deferred
classiilcation under the provisions O.,
lAls act or any rule or regulation TO
be issued by authority granted under
me provisions Of this act, solely on ac-
count Of aienage. And provided fur
ther, that the War Department shal,
lmnedlateiv attcr the passage Of this
hcl rec lassliY all aliens heretofore reg
lstered who are citizens or subjects Of
the countries co-bellgcrent, Viii, the
United States in the present war and
VINO have been exempted or placed Il,
deferred classification on account of
ailenage. and said alions shall he i'm
mediatcly called for service unless
sch action would be contrary to ex
listing treaties"
The sudden sweep against all Off
cial exemptions from the draft. which
forced the early adjournment and pre-
vented the passage Of the bin tonight,
was started by Representative Gregg.
Of Texas.
"We haven't tho right" he shouted.
'to vote TO draft the cightecn-voar-old
boys of this land 20 fight in the
trenches and at the same time vose
exemption and saietv for ouracivcs'
There were Wild cheers, and there
we're only scattering noes on his
amendment declining exemption TO any
lcgis sIative officers of the government
or eXecutlro officers Of any state. More
than 700 members Of the two houses

ui!ApuS peilnd, Dul paced the DrlQge
and kept a warier eye than any OF
his lookouts on the seas ahead.
Alter q few moments he spoke
quietly to the watch officer: ''Signal
those fellows to come along. They'll
have trouble to catch US if they don /
hurry"
interrupted to ask, "If they
really found sub. wouldn't they
stay and finish him."
Certainly, but if the barrage got
near him he is probably finished
now; Anyhow. the present business
OF this f1otilla is to pick up troop
SHIPS, not to go sub.-chasing."
AS he spoke I saw two destrovers
come leaping back into line through
seas that almost engulfed and
drowned them, but through which
they broke wagging heads like ami
mails in q wild run.
Ask 'em about it," the captain
commanded.
In less than a minute came the
reply, Saw oil slick on water
Placed barrsge. Didn't wait to in
vestigate." The same message. yjy-
ing the exact location, was then be-
ing read TO the flag Office ashore.
Ihe next fortyeight hours saw us
turned about escorting one of the
biggest conveys that ever arrived in
france. We received radio after
radio like the first, warning US that
subs. had been seen in the waters.
into which they had never ventured
before.
One morning we got seven such
mes ages from other ships addressed
in Allied code TO all ships" We
thought il strange that in the midst
OF this flock OF warnings there did
not come the distress call IS O S."
The captain shook his head and said,
peculiar there has not been fight
OF some sort. Also there has been
time for every hydroplane, balloon,
decoy duck and submarine chaser on
the French coast to be now lowering
over that tin fish"
The captain made other remarks
OF power and velocity, and then sud
denly gave voice to the thought we
all had. 1t was that submarines
lurking in the direction we then were
steering were on a special mission.
We realized that no matter how the
mission ended for themselves, life or
death, and probably the latter. their
business was concerned with Us.
They were waiting to sink those
Fat, slow, troop-laden monsters we
were guarding.
Our captain had the advantage
through knowledge cleaned from
French pilots Of knowing more than
one way home. He decided what to
do even before the message from the
flag Office ordered him 10 proceed
precisely that way. Long before we
sighted land we saw hydroplanes
and dirlgibles. At dozen points
on the horizon there were dots which
we knew to be destroyers and sub
chasers Of the suicide feet, all out
to make submarine life dangerous.
We sheered abruptly from the
straight course and steered circuit
ously until the bare rocks Of the
Brittany coast ioomed dead ahead.
We crept into its treacherous shelter
so close to the breakers that we
could see everything that was hap
pening ashore. We followed the
narrow, twisting. but deep channel
single tile-every vessel followed
closely in the wake Of the leader.
Suddenly we came out in smooth
waters in the bay on the land side
Of the pirates in waiting.
Then we streaked for harbor and
safety as fast as numbering troop
ships could wallow along.

military necessity demanded the call

he could not see the wisdom of taking

number obtained this way would be so
small.
