LONG DEBATE DUE
 OVER ARMY BILL
MANY SENATORS TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK OF
 MILITARY CONDITIONS.
MEASURE MAY BE DEFEATED
Minority Leader Mann Has Joyous Time With Larsen of Georgia Who Seeks to Put a Curb on Discus sion.
By ARTHUR M. DUNN.

Washington.-Uuless all signs fail the debate on the army appropriation bill is going to be long drawn out The whole army condition is going to be threshed out thoroughly, partieu- larly in the senate. It is somewhat of surprise 10 those who want to avoid an extra session that the army bill has been delayed so long, for the talk upon il may defeat it and if it is defeated an extra session will be necessary tu order to get money to support the army. It is evident that many sena tors are waiting for a fitting oppor. tunity To say what they think about army conditions and they will take an opportunity to do so when the regular military appropriation bill is before the senate. On several occasions the military bill has been the last to be considered and once or twice it has failed to pass before congress ad- journed.

What is the remedy?" was query put to the senate generally but more particularly to Senator Thomas of Colorado by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. He was speaking of the lack of em- ployment in this country which was causing so much apprehension, and continued: If there is not some rem edy in carrying on public works, what is the remedy? The remedy is not to make speeches about it."
 "Oh," remarked Thomas, making speeches is remedy for nothing, es- pecially in the senate of the United States"
 That is the only way We remedy anything here so far as I know" con tinued Kenyon.
 Unfortunately" Thomas replied, that is the only way in which we transact business here. The other house votes and does not talk. We talk and never vote, and of course am just as guilty as anybody else"

Minority Leader Mann was in his element the other day. eompara- lively new man. Larsen of Georgia. de cided that there was too much talk go- ing on in the house, and announced his idea of stopping it by objections. Chairman Padgett of the naval com mittee, who was piloting the naval ap- propriation bill through the house, ur- gently requested Larsen to desist, say ing that long experience has taught him that nothing could be gained in that way. But Larsen persisted and the first person he ran afoul of was Jim Mann. .I hope the gentleman from" and Mann paused for little time before adding 'I do not know from what state he eomes," and then he paused again until some member could interject Georgia" and then added: T hope the gentleman from Georgia will keep his nerve, but he will not"
 Then Mann went on to talk for some time and finally made the usual mo tion ito strike out the last word," which allows member to speak for live minutes. Larsen immediately ob- jected and raised the point of order that Mann was not speaking on the motion to strike out the last word. Mann blandly remarked that the point of order was we'll taken and then moved to strike out the entire para graph which he wanted to discuss and in his most sarcastic way, turning to Larsen. remarked: This is like talk ing candy from children"
 As Mann predicted, Larsen did not keep his nerve, for he soon found out that the course he was pursuing woulG tend to defeat rather than to rush leg islation.

A Wise Young Man.

We heard of a young man the
other day who made 5000 last year
in cash. This was aside from the
stock increases in business. He did
not make II in the mercantile bust
ness, on the board Of trade or in
any speculative game. He made it on
the farm. He is probably not over
25 years Of age, with wife and
a baby. The bright lights have no at
traction for him. He is interested in
the ways of nature, and what nature
will do. to help man. He is sticking
to the farm while others chase after
the easy ways OF making money and
the good times which come with
spending all the more than one
makes. That young man has sense
enough to stay by the farm where
he was born and raised. He will be
comfortably fixed long before the
ase> that some successful men get a
start, and he will be comfortably
seated by his own Preside when
others of the same age are begging
crusts and grumbling about lack OF
observation-disclosures Eureka.

and that the measure will be permit

We're benefited in substantial way

forded them, for work and recrea-
ton.
1t is admitted that the schedule
does not fit in presicely with the far
mers plans, but it is not impossible
for them to adjust their affairs to
meet the emergency. Last summer
they managed to survive, and no
doubt they can continue to do So
without serious inconvenience.
BY all means keep the daylight
saving law and let the vast majority
who reaped it's benefit last summer
be again favored.-Burlington Gaz-

HOME FROM OVERSEAS.
Roy Xolding of Battery IL. 51st
Artillery, Arrived Home Last
Week

Roy Volding, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Claus Volding, arrived home last
week from a long and valorous SER
vice in France Roy enlisted AIay T..
1917, and was sent to Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo, and from there he went
to Fort Grebel, Rhode Island, where
he remained three months. A call
fol, volunteers for overseas service
was sent out July l3, 1917, and Roy
answered the call. The soldiers
modelled at Fort Adams, Rhode
Island in the 9Th, 18th and Stl regi-
ment Coast Artillery, and they went
overseas Aug. IA, 1917, landing at
Liverpool, England, Sept. 2. They
were sent from there to Camp Bor-
den, England where they We're
stationed two weeks, when they took
the train to South Hampton, crossed
the English Channel, then went to
Havre. France. One day was spent
at Rest Camp No. 2, then a train
to Camp Mailly, France, and stayed
there until the spring of 1918, when
they went to the front. They We're
stationed in the Toul Sector and par
ticipated in the Seasbury battle on
April IL. After that they were stat
toned along the front doing general
artillery work The st. Meihel off
ense was another big drive they took
part in. Roy's work was shooting the
big French 10 inch naval guns.
These were taken off French battle
ships before the war.
In one town that he shot into they
killed 900 Germans and 800 French
men, the latter being prisoners who
were held by the Germans.
Roy fred the last shot from one
of the big guns when the armistice
was signed. The gun was loaded
shortly before eleven O'Clock, and the
mechanism failed to work at once
and it was two or three minutes after
eleven that the gun was fired.
Roy went through the battles in
fine shape. He was in some close calls
but escaped any serious injury. He
certainly did his bit, and Battery F..
51st Artillery of which he was a
member was considered the crack
battery of the war.
