MISREPRESENTED HIM

WASHINGTON, Jan. evil
liam Denman, former chairman Of
the shipping board, told the senate
commerce committee Tuesday that
his position regarding wooden
ships had been misrepresentcd 70
the public. He declared the press
had "overplayed our hand in the
matter Of wooden ships" and said
the impression that the board was
devoted TO q wooden shipbuilding
policy only, had done more to harm
ship extension in this country than
anything else. Mr. Denman denied
that the row between himself and
Mai. Gen. Cocktails had preyeT ted
the communicating of 10 vessels
built in this country for foreign ac-
count. hat said that delay by con-
gress In enacting necessary !es.sia-
ton prevented the taking over Of
IS such vessels.
THE public had the opinion that
we were trying 10 build up wooden
ships and run down the value Of
steel vessels Mr.. DenmaE said The
real situation was that he wanted
additional tonnage. he added, and
thought wooden ships the best way
to get it.

ASSAILS MOTIVE BEHIND
UNIVERSAL SERVICE BILL,
PLAN TO DRAFT YOUTHS?

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Con-
gress today was asked to examine
carefully into the motives of those
who advocate universal military
service" at this time by Rep. Will
lam J. Fields of Kentucky, ranking
democratic member of the house
military affairs committee.
From statements and interviews
given by men working for the enact
ment of the Chamberlain bill and
from the literature they circulate, /
cannot escape the conviction that
their intention is to thrust the bur
den of fighting this war on the i'm
mature youths of the country" he
said.
When the propaganda for uni
versal military training was started.
its advocates insisted with greatest
emphasis that none Of the boys
prepared would be put into
service until they reached 81 Rep.
Fields continued. I'm this way they
gained a hearing, and certain
measure Of approval from the coun-
try.
1T is clearly indicated to me-" he
said, that the plan is TO amend the
draft law TO take the Is to 81 class
and let those within the present
draft ages go. If this is indeed their
program. L shall fight them to the

ROTARY CLUB
HEARS MILLER
Congressman Was One OF 10
to Visit Battle Front
Recently.

Describing the wonderful work
that is being done by the American
Red Cross in France and England.
the scenes of horror and suffering
that ne witnessed in northern
France ana Belgium along the bat
tie lines. was the subject of a re-
markedly interesting address made
By Congressman Miller Of Seattle.
Wash. one Of the 10 members Of
the United States congress who Wis
tied Europe recently, before the
South Bend Rotary club at the
weekly luncheon wednesday at the
Oliver hotel.
CONGRESSMAN Miller was enroute
from a short visit at his home in
Seattle 10 Washington. d. c., stop
ping off in South Bend only for the
day. His address was one of the
most interesting that has been
heard here concerning the war. He
carried his hearers from the Amer
lean port from which his party
sailed for Europe. through the
great American Red Cross hospitals
in London and Paris, to Lafayette's
tomb, 10 the ruins of Rheims cathe-
dral. on to what remains of the city
OF Verdun, over Vimy ridge, and
finally to the first line trenches,
where machine gun bullets pepper
ed about them almost as thick as
hail stones.
\ Great Hospital.
Every man, woman and child
with American red blood in his or
her veins is q friend of the Red
Cross. In the mammoth hospital
at Paris, which was founded by an
American woman, Mrs w. X. Van
derbilt, one can walk for a day in
only one section of this great insti-
tuition. More than 1000 wounded
French soldiers are being cared for
there, and working over the men
with the other 700 Red Cross nurses
is Mrs. Vanderbilt in uniform. One
of the most impressive sights I saw
there was 1000 blind soldiers being
taught trades, and while they work
ed they sang. never until then
quite understood the psychology of
song. 1t truly was a wonderful
sight. 1 say hats off to the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Wherever the German army has
been everything is in ruins and
waste. Not a living thing exists in
Verdun, except the soldiers that oc-
cupy il, and not a house stands in
what was one time a thriving city
of $4,000 or $1,000 inhabitants, not
one of whom now remain. One
thing is certain, and that is. that
the Germans will never capture
Nerdun.
A Remarkable View.
"A remarkable thing Of this war
is that one can stand on Vimy ridge
and as far as he can see not a soul
will be in sight, still there is a quar-
ter of a million troops within two
miles of the place where you stand.
The only activity that is apparent is
the flying overhead of the airplanes
and the reports Of anti-aircraft guns
firing at them. The drivers of these
machines pay little attention TO
being shot at. They are too busy
photographing the ground over
which they are passing. A fleet of
these machines and their photog-
raphers can cover 40 square miles
in an afternoon"
