lion and half of soldiers and has
practically as many more under train

$12 900, 000,O 900, since the beginning OF

penditures were made or for which
contracts were placed, up to June 80,
1918, were:

Artillery Ammunition $3.50, 100000
and Small Arms Ammunition $685.
900 000
Expenditures in connection with
military engineering operations direct
ly relating to the war have exceeded
1915, 100000 the past year, the larger
part going for docks and railways in
France.

patton in the war, there have been

Amendment to Extend Linn
it's to 20 and 40 Years Is
Beaten 40 to Is
BAN is PLACED ON
NEUTRAL EVADERS
Those Seeking Exemption May Not Be
come Citizens of the United States
Colleagues.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The SEN
ate yesterday, by a vote of 40 to %,
bowed to the will of Secretary Baker
and his advisers and refused to change
the draft ages. The vote came on an
army bill amendment of Senator Fall
of New Mexico, proposing to make the
ages 30 to 40 years instead of p tc 81
years, as they are at present
In spite of the efforts of Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the commit
tee, to bring the army bill to vote
last night, the senate did not pass it,
but it is expected to dc so today.
After rejecting the Fall amendment
and several other proposals to change
the draft ages, the senate adopted an
important amendment by Senator Hitch
COX, providing that neutrals who have
declared their intention to become citi-
zens of the United States may claim
exemption from the draft, if they are
within draft age and otherwise subject
to call, but that by so doing they lose
any rights to citizenship that their dec
laration may have given to them, and
must remain aliens for the period of
the war 1t is planned to perfect this
/ amendment in the senate by making it
apply not only to the period of the
war but permanently.
Senator Chamberlain, explaining the
necessity for some such amendment
| stated that the state department so
licitor spent most of his time adjusting
claims of neutral declarants who have
been called in the draft, on the ground
that their declaration makes them t.
a degree citizens of the United States
and hence liable to military service
Several times rather embarrassing situa
/ tions have been created with certain
governments on account of this. The
proposal carried by vote of 43 to Is.
When debate on the army bill wa.
resumed Senator McCumber made a Ion.
! sppeeff,- in wfith lie urged that an
army of 100000 electives be put on
the firing line in the shortest possibl,
time No smaller force, Senator Nc
Cumber said, would win a decisive vic
tory. He declared the Germans had
from the beginning, sprung surprises OF
the allies and exceeded them in fore
sight and initiative
Following Senator McCumbcr's speeol
the senate was treated to a singula
spectacle. Senator Williams of Missis
sippi took exception to Senator MeCum
her 5 statements about the German sur
prises, declaring that the North Dako
tan, by making this statement, 'ha
subscribed to the German view that til
Huns are supermen.'i
, He had just started his criticisI
} when a general exodus of Senators frol
the chamber began. Within FIVE mir
utes not a Republican senator RENAME,
a and only two Democrats. Behind cloal
> room doors the members of the senat
y stood peering out at Senator William
who undauRted by the hazing of his co
o leagues, continued to denounce German
and all things German, and to confer
that Germany, and not the allies, hi
is constantly been the victim of unp1ea
i ant surprises.
