SENATORS IN
CLASH OVER
WAR POLICY

At Washington the pent up fires Of
dered in congress over disclosures of
, inefficiency in the conduct of the war
burst out on Monday in flame of fer
vid oratory in which the Republicans
were accused of playing partisan poll
tics so as to discredit the Democratic
administration.
Senator Stone of Missouri, one of
the original group of twelve wilful
n en-" who voted against the arming
Of American merchantmen, precipi-
tated storm by alleging that the Re-
publicans sought to make party capital
out of the war and were attacking the
democratic administration with that
end in view.
In a spirited reply Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts hurled back the chal-
lenge Of disloyalty to the Missouri SEN
ator, maintaining that the Republi-
cans in the senate had periodically
supported the president in all the war
Legislation he had asked, and that they
had restrained criticism of-the conduct
of the war so as not to embarrass the
administration.
Lodge Cites Mistakes
Senator Lodge voiced the privilege
of the American people to indulge in
constructive criticism, insisting that
the mistakes in the conduct Of the
wars affairs could only be remembered
by frank acknowledgment of them. He
alluded to the revelations recently
made before the senate military affairs
committee as showing that everything
was not we'll in the running Of the war.
Republicans, as we'll as Democrats, he
said, wanted the country to win it's
fight against the Germanic alliance. To
allow inefficiency to exist, once it had
been exposed Senator Lodge argued,
would be coWardly in a congress, and
he expressed the hope that congress
would not allow itself to be stified in
it's efforts to help win the war.
Senator Stone launched into bitter
attack upon Col. Theodore Roosevelt
in his speech, characteriZing the for
mer presidents criticism of the ad
ministration as unloyal and based upon
the motive of advancing his own polit-
zeal fortunes in 1920. He accused the
colonel of stirring up a spirit of unrest
in the country.
Charges Politics
The Missouri senator spoke of a re-
cent interview with Senator Penrose
Of Pennsylvania, in which the Penn
sylvanian alluded to disclosures before
senatorial investigating committees as
showing the incapacity of the Demo
cratic party to govern the nation. Sen
ator Stone attacked this as indicating
the Republican trend of mind to con-
vert war issues into campaign effect.
Senator Penrose, in his own turn
denounced Senator Stones imputatiOn
of the motives of Republican senators
as "impudent and fallacious." PenrOse
asserted that Republicans in congress
had supported the administration in all
of it's war program, but that it could
not be expected to sustain policy of
ineff1ciency. He accused President
Wilson of having filled important war
Offices with Democrats, maintaining
that the administration itself did not
seem to take a non-partisan view Of
the conduct of the wars affairs.

ly criticised the presidents picking of

SENDING FOOD TO SOLDIERS.
Council National Defense Requests
Public to Discontinue.

THE Council of National Defense
desires to inform the people of the
country that abundant food is sup
piled to the soldiers and sailors in the
cantonments, and that the sending of
food to these men by their friends
and families is not in any way neces-
sary; that the aggregate quantity of
food thus sent is enormous, and that
much of it, having been conveyed
long distances in heated express or
mail cars, is more or less spoiled, and
consequently injurious to the health
of the men. Therefore, in the inter-
est of the conservation of food and
also of the health of the men, the
Council of National Defense requests
the public to discontinue the sending
of food stuffs to the camps
Please read this resolution to all
the women's clubs and organizations
and urge a strict compliance with 1t.

Our Bread Supply.

The Food Administration will not
ship more than our savings. Enough
wheat is being held to feed our own
people. There viii be no shortage
here. The fact that 30 per cent OF
the mills output will be purchased
by the Government to avoid conges-
tion in some places and shortage in
others, will insure even distribution.
Grocers and retail stores selling
food have been notified to sell -four
and sugar in specified quantities to
consumers. The Food Administra-
tion agreeing to keep them supplied
according to normal demands. This
is no indication of shortage but a
measure to prevent boarding SO that
an even distribution may be had and
avoid carrying an unnecessary sur
plus over into 1918 harvest season.

Bread Wanted.

Our people have saved from 25,-
100000 to 5O,00O,00 bushels of
wheat. All our surplus has been
shipped to the allies. They have re-
duced the bread ration to their peo-
pie sharply the last few days and
If this lowered ration is to be main
tanned we must save more wheat.
They urgently need from $4,000, 900
to 90,000,000 bushels of our wheat.
To maintain their effectiveness the
soldiers and munition workers must
be we'll fed. This forces the suffer-
ing by the rationing most heavily on
the old men and the women and chill
dren. Can't you see the pity of it..
Can't you imagine the sadness of
those mothers. Can't you see the
need of saving every ounce of flour
possible. Won't you join the devoted
men and women who voluntarily
pledged the Food Administration and
do your whole part in saving every
possible ounce of wheat bread that
we may create surplus that may
be shipped to feed our associates in
this war. If you have been reducing
your wheat bread allowance, try to
save Just little more. Possibly
what you save will strengthen some
little one over there and save a life.
If you substitute and save to the
sacrifice, won't the thought of the
good accomplished recompense you.
Think Of it, friend. Act on it.

BRITISH WEATHER
HARDEST MONTH
January One of the Most Trying
Periods of War.

London, Jan. 20.-The first month
of 1918 has been one of the most
trying of the whole war for the
British people. Now the nation seems
to have weathered its doubts and
disagreements and accepted the
watchword. I'VE must go on or go
UNDER
The labor unions met the demand
upon them for more men IN khaki
with a critical and doubtful spirit:
they insisted upon knowing the gov
ernment's exact war program and
were inclined to believe that peace
negotiations were possible. These
questions have been threshed out
with the government fully and freely,
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1918-01-25

with straight talking on both sides
and the government seems to have
carried the day.
This result is due principally to
Premier Lloyd George and il
strengthens his position and author
ity for the time being. The Pre-
mier's resourcefulness was never dis
turbed by the fnsillade of questions
from the laborites, some of them out
and out pacifists, at the Friday con-
ference.
Probably the most effective state
ment Mr.. lloyd George made was
that the government was ready to
go into a peace conference whenever
the Germans showed any disposition
to negotiate on equitable terms. But
he saw no disposition of that kind
now. There is still sharp criticism
of the government among the masses,
the chief ground being the food prob
lem. While apparently there are
enough supplies in the country to
maintain the population in comfort,
the complicated business of distri-
button has not been successfully met.
A general election is expected as
soon as new register of voters can
be made. Eight million new voters,
six million of whom are women, will
go on the rolls under the reform bill,
which the house of lords now is de-
batting. The predictions are that the
next government will be a labor
liberal coalition, with the labor party
holding the largest number of seats
of any party in the house of COM
mons and the strongest position in
the cabinet.
The labor party's conference at
Nottingham this week will be one of
the most important in it's history
Proposals for new constitution will
be considered, which will admit all
brain workers to the party's ranks on
an equality with the trade unionists
This is called the hand and brain"
movement, and the laborites expect
that it will make their organization
the largest and strongest political
body in. the kingdom.
The party's policy for reconstruc-
tion after the war will be framed
The proposals to be submitted include
national wage minimum, demo-
cratic control of industry, revolution
of national finance and the use of
private surplus wealth for the COM
mon good. Some of the subheads in
this program are: Employment for
all, organization of the demobilized
armies, insurance against unemploy-
ment, naturalization of land, rail-
ways, mines and electric power,
steeply graduated taxation on in
comes and wealth.

Il, ISDAY YOU
MUST REGISTER
President Wilson Signs draft
Bill And Then Issues
Proclamation
1000, 900 MEN WILL
REGISTER ON THAT DAY
Out OF This Enormous Num-
Der, 2,5OO,GO0 Must Enter The
Service OF Army

Special Dispatch to The Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Presi'
dent Wilson today signed the new
man power bill and Immediately is
sued a proclamation, setting Thurs
day, September IL as the day for all
men from Is to As, inclusive, to reg
lister for military service.
On this day 100000 men will re-
gister between the ages of Is and 45
wears. Out of this enormous regis
tration the War Department expects
to obtain less than 100000 men fol-
the army. These will be made up Of
of unmarried men and men with FAM
lilies who do not contribute to their
support.
The War Department does not in
tend to induct every unmarried man
into the army. Liberal exemptions
will be made on account of men en-
ployed in institutions that are essen
tial.
Every piece of machinery neces-
sary to provide quick and thorough
registration has been put into opera
ton for the enormous task of proper
ly recording these 100000 men,
The War Department made its plans
in advance and when President Will
son affixed his signature to the bill
today, the government was ready to
perform its big task and perform il
well.
Owing to- the danger of exhausting
al of the men now in Class One OF
the 1917 and 1918 drafts, the War De-
partment lost no time in preparing
the men eligible for service under the
new man power law to get into the
service.
The government expects to obtalf
ample men under the new draft tt
| provide sufficient men to defeat Ger
many next year. The War Depart
ment realizes that a great force Of
men is necessary to win the wal
quickly, and nothing will be left un
done to get sufficient men to Franc
as quickly fias possible to defea
Germany without loss of men ant
time.
