Borah Opposes.

OOAaA SPPOSSos
Senator Borah of Idaho said while
he favored having 100000 men on
the front by June 80. 1918. he did not
believe the hearings before the Sen
ate military committee disclosed the
necessity for calling the efghteen-year-
olds: England, with a population
far smaller than the United States.
he said. raised an army of 6.25o.00o
soldiers before putting a single
youth on the battle lines. and Italy
and France nave both refused to re-
duce 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 thirty,two and
forty-five years OF age. He added
that he did not contend youths OF
eighteen and nineteen should not 60
to war. but that they should not be
inducted until men in the preceding
classes have been called.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota declared
boys from seventeen to twenty years OF
age are hte most patriotic 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." +,
urged the adoption of his amendment
which would prevent boys between
eighteen and twenty. inclusive. be-
ing called for actual military service
Warns Of Optimism.
Senator McCumber spoke vigorously
against overoptimism 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 has committed. 81
Nothing short of planting the nag
in Berlin is going to win this wxr az
we ought to win it" declared-Sehator
McCumber. "and no peace pact should
be signed until there has bean an un-
conditional surrender on Germany's
part that will provide for the de1iv-
ering up of the murderers of Edith
Cavell and other innocents." :.
1--WE ought never to agree to peace
terms" he added. until we have
taught the Huns that no atrocities
such as have, been practiced In this

and. despite our protests, has not
allowed us the balance. The COM
mune is selling potatoes at $50
