The bill provides that while these
men shall be registered and trained.
they shall not be sent to the trenches

the Cummins amendment for the
relief of the short-line railroads,
which the Senate had adopted
When in the House yesterday, Mr..
Esch, as manager of the Republican
side of the debate, introduced the
Cummins short-line amendment, the
question was introduced with It.
Secret diplomacy is much more
difficult in the House than in the
Senate. At times it is impossible,
as it was in this case. The bill was
openly debated, as if its title were,
"A Bill for the Relief of the Rail
roads and for Other Purposes"
As Joseph C. Cannon helped to
force the question, the debate on
both sides was earnest, with no
shamming of interest. Democratic
members from the South and West,
who were forced by regularity to
support the bill as an administration
measure, felt themselves at a cruel
disadvantage. Other Democrats
from "short-Iine districts" revolted
and went over to the opposition.
AS the debate progressed, the Half
Billion Dollar Revolving Fund was
pictured revolving for the tSnefit of
roads which needed it least. Such
roads. managed by experts In high
finance, were to have their highest
earnings guaranteed 10 them and
their maturing bonds taken care of.
while roads, which were organized
for developing the country by the
people themselves at their own risL
out OF their savings. were left out
i'm the cold" The short lines were
presented as roads which had de-
yeloped outside the sphere OF high
finance. organized in spite OF 1t to
serve needs neglected by the great
systems. They were shown suffering
from conditions promising prosperity
at Government expense for the great
systems. II was said that in spite of
all disadvantages. they had grown
