Des Moines. Aug. 13.--The Iowa ad-
jutant generals office proposes to
start a hot campaign against the
Chamberlain Kahn bill Tor universal
military service which is up for con-
sideration in congress this week.
Adjutant General l.. G.. Lasher hopes
to induce such a spontaneous express
sion of condemnation from the citizens
of Iowa that members Of the Iowa del
egation will both work and vote as
unit against the measure. Mr.. Lasher
believes that the measure merits such
treatment; that 1t is one OF the most
dangerous proposals ever made to an
American legislative assembly.
The Chamberlain-K Kahn bill provides
that every youth in America must re-
ceivo at least six months military
training at some time between his
eighteenth and twentieth years.
The measure further provides for the
appointment of a military dictator VINO
is to be given the power to require OF
these youths any further service that
is reasonable" Mr.. Lasher said.
Calls Measure Vicious.
Mr.. Lasher called the measure Vi
cious. He declared that it Is strongly
favored by members of the regular
army clique in Washington, whose
principal occupation is waiting for
somebody up above to die so they can
be promoted.
"The principal purpose of the war
department" said Mr.. Lasher, us to
provide jobs for the $4,000 regular
army officers, who otherwise would be
out Of employment 1t is proving quite
a task TO figure out something for these
officers to do"
Mr. Lasher points out that enact
ment of. the Kahn Dill

tionai facilities of the country, by TAX

tors announced today they had estab-
lished that Martin Savage, member of
the party which attempted to kill Wis.,
count French, was a member Of the
Sim Fein.
The police statement presumably
was based upon evidence obtained
when they raided Kirke's grocery
shop. where Savage was employed "a
a clerk. Several documents were con-
fiscated with personal belongings of
the dead man, it was said.
The coroner's inquest over Savage's
body will be held tomorrow, it was
announced.
No additional arrests have been
made, although police and the mill
tary were combing the city. Several
arrests had been promised on infor-
nation the police said they gained
from the documents found in Savage's
quarters.
The city remains quiet with little
activity except by the police and mill
tary authorities. An uneasy feeling,
however. prevails in the Irish capital
today. While the public is quiet, it
is generally understood martial law
probably will be proclaimed.
