GERMANS MUST
TASTE DEFEAT
SAYS HITCHCOCK
Amendments to Man-power
Bill are Taken up and
Discussed Today.

Washington, Aug. 27.-.By a vote
OF 70 to 0, the senate today tentative
ly accepted Senator Cummins'
amendment to the man power bill
work or fight amendment, providing
that the provision shall not apply in
cases of labor strikes where the
strikers submit their grievances to the
war labor board and return to work
at once pending the boards decision.
Senator Falls amendment to make
men up to sixty years of age subject
to draft and providing for the CLASH
fication for military industrial or
other service, subject to the Presi-
dents regulations, was rejected 54
to 8.
Speaking in support of making 1s
years the minimum age, Senator
Hitchcock declared before peace can
come the Allies must have a great
military triumph.
Must Taste Defeat.
The Nebraska senator, who is
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, said the German people
must be taught that their only way
to live is as other nations live, and
must learn to accept justice in prefer
ence to force by arms. They will not
agree 10 IndC, ne adOed, until they
have tasted of military defeat
Regarding Senator Lodges recent
speech outlining probable terms OF
peace, Senator Hitchcock said he did
not think it was time to discuss
peace; that he preferred to stand by
the President in his position thai
force is now necessary.
Senator Hitchcock said originally
he had been opposed to lowering the
minimum draft age below 21 years
but that times have changed. The
army must be enlarged, he said, and
at the same time essential men must
not be taken from war industry.
| An amendment by Senator France
TO Maryland, authorizing badges fol
men exempted for industrial or other
service was adopted without objec-
ton.
Poindcxter Gives Support.
Vigorous support for the work Of
fight" clause was given in today's de-
bate by Senator Poindexter, of Wash.
ington, who said 'so-called labor
leaders opposing the section do no
truly represent American working
men. He expressed the opinion thai
a majority of working men do MOI
seek any special privilege or exemp.
ton under the draft law and resen'
the activity of Union leaders.

Washington, March 10.-Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker has arrived
at French port.
Upon hearing of his arrival through
the Associated Preps dispatch from
Paris, the War Department tonight
announced that the secretaTys visit Is
purely military and not diplomatic,
ard is fer purposes Of inspection and
personal conferences with military O.
fcials. Mr.. Baker is accompanied by
Maj. Gen William NJ. Black, chief of
engineers; Lieut. Col. M. L. Brett and
Ralph Hayes, his private secretary.
Secretary Baker plans to spend a
brief time in France, inspecting re-
suits already accomplished by his de-
field this year an army that will be
q factor in the campaign. On the eve
OF his departure Mr.. Baker told mem
Lers of the press that he did not eX-
pect to be away long.
The secretary and his party left
Washington without any other attempt
at cOncealment of the movements
that a request that the press refrain
from reporting his departure. The
newspapers again worked in hearty
cooperation to make the journey. as
safe as possible from German subma-
rines.. No hint of the trip has been
printed

For several months the secret2i'E
has been eager to see conditions at

eral Pershing, upon -+Eon responsible
ity or the entire American war pro-
gram in France rests, the many prob
lens that have arisen to imLcde the
departments plans. It Was impossible
for General Pershing to come home
for such conference. Mr.. Baker
therefore determined after many con-
fcrences with President Wilson, to 81
on an inspection tour which will, hS
believes. better fit him for his great
responsibility in meeting General Per
shingis requirements in fighting men
and materials ana in maintaining q
