KENYON ASKS FOR
VIGOROUS WARFARE
senator Suggests Coalition Cabinet to
Include Root and Roosevelt

Senator Kenyon, who recently re-
turned from a visit to the French
front and to England. Friday warned
the senate against Germany's peace
offers and stories that the country
was exhausted.
Nothing could assist Germany
more he declared. Those who are
trying to help in bringing about a
patched-up peace and lend their in
fluence in that direction are weaken
ing the Aemrican forces, weakening
American PREPARATION he said, "and
they had best to remember that it will
cost us more now to lose this war than
to win it,"
Senator Kenyon in relating his eX-
periences said that what he had seen
i'm France had aroused him to such a
pitch that he wished the kaiser might
be compelled TO be at sea i'm an open
boat that was being shelled, that the
palaces of the German ruler might be
blown up and that he might be placed
where bombs dropped around him dur
ing a London air raid.
Pointing TO the fact that it took
4 England two years or more to get
ready to fight he declared there was
no reason for the gloom in this coun-
+ try now. but the saddest words this
nation can ever write if it fails in this
emergency by reason OF delay will be
the words Too late
We must bring to the western from
two million men and have million il
reserve, Senator Kenyon declared
We must do it as quickly as possible
We must cut red tape; stop quarrel
ing about the guns and like things
and carry this thing through on bust
ness-like principles. Is it not pOssibl
for each individual in this country Il
quit thinking about what someone els
does and resolve to do everything h
can do? 1t is not enough to do on
bit. We must do our best. There i
too much grandstanding and limelight
ing; too much patriotic posing and no
enough sacrifice"
"Out of this war will come grea
things TO our people. We will hav
no hyphenated Americanism in thi
country. 1t is not a time for partisan
ship nor politics and l may say it
no time for inefficiency in any depart
ments of our government"
Senator Kenyon said that in thi
, spirit of -partisanship" he wOul
! ! like to see coalition cabinet incluC
ing Elihu Root and Theodore Roos,
, vent and that the service of Williai
j II. Taft might be used in some of II
commissions sent abroad.

ASKS FOR MORE MONEY
FOR LUMBER PRODUCERS
Delay in Production OF Spruce for Air.
plane Manufacture Explained by
Coffin.

A report on the causes of delay in
the production of spruce for airplane
construction submitted to Howard E.
Coffin, chairman of the aircraft board
by the Aero Club of America, made
public at New York Monday night,
states that the lumberman cannot
produce airplane spruce at the price
set by the government"
The special committee of the Aero
club which investigated the situation
recommended that in the case, as in
other cases. the cost plus 10 per cent
plan" be adopted. The difficulty, the
report added is purely economic.
The western lumbermen say they
cannot cut the lumber for the price
offered by the government spruce
production bureau" the report said
because the quality schedule and
standard of inspection have been rails
ed since they agreed to furnish the
lumber at a price of s105 per 1000 feet
and they can only meet the new
schedule at a financial loss"

Former Congressman Ends Career at
Camp Wheeler in COuntry's Ser
vice.

Major Augustus P. Gardner of Ham,
iltOn, Mass, died late Monday at the
Camp Wheeler base hospital, after a
short illness, from pneumonia.
After continuous service of fifteen
years as representative from the Fifth
congressional district of Massachu-
setts, Augustus p. Gardner resigned
last year when war was declared to
enter the United States army. For
years he had fought for national pre-
paredness, for a bigger army and a
bigger navy, and when this country
became involved in hostilities he gave
prompt and practical demonstration
OF his patriotism.
In the Spanish-American war he
served as captain and assistant adiu-
tant general on the staff of General
James II. Wilson, and thereafter wag-
ed a determined fight in and out of
congress, for the development Of
American military and naval forces.
Since his graduation from Harvard
in 1856, Mr. Gardner had devoted the
greater part of his time to politics.
After joining the army last year,
Major Gardner was commissioned a
colonel, but at his own request he was
reduced to major. in order that he
might be sent to France for active ser
vice in the field.
