Several Senators intend to De-

Many Members Are Disposed to Ac.
cede to the Wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Debate on the

eign relations committee at the White
House Feb. rs.
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
Republican, who recently issued a
statement sharply. criticising several
features of the league plans, intends to
open the attack Wednesday. His ad-
dress is expected to precipitate general
debate. Most members of the foreign
relations committee apparently are
disposed to accede to the presidents
request.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, also ex-
poets to speak during the week. Other
senators reported to be planning criti-
cism are Reed of Missouri and Gore
of Oklahoma, Democrats. Senator
Borah Of Idaho, Republican member

MEN WERE SACRIFICED
Governor of Kansas CriticiseS
Battle of Argonne.
Tells House Committee Everything
Fell Down Except American
Manpower.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Governor AL
len of Kansas, presented to the house
rules committee evidence of officers
and men of the Thirty-fifth (Kansas
and Missouri National Guard) divi-
sion, which he declared showed that
at times during the great battle of the
Argonne, American troops fought the
German artillery with infantry arms"
because there were not enough horses
to move up the artillery as fast as the
infantry advanced.
There were times, also, the COVER
nor said, when shells from the Ameri-
can artillery fell into the American
lines, killing and wounding men, due
to the fact that there was lack of
aircraft to signal change"
He added that everything over there
fell down except the raw manpower,
the Americans fighting with less me-
chanical assistance than if they were
troops from Indo-C China.
Governor Allen submitted a mass of
evidence in support of his charges that
men were needlessly sacrificed in driv-
ing the Germans beyond the Meuse
He explained his purpose was to give
the committees evidence so they could
determine the wisdom of conducting
an investigation.
Chairman Pou interrupted the gov
ernor to say that he believed the evil
dence was but 'the forerunner of a
comprehensive inquiry"

rived in New York on the liner Rotter
dam. He said he would come to
Washington at once to report on the
result Of his investigation and to urge
corrective measures.
Asks Men Be Brought Home at Once.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Senator Will
Ham E. Borah has declined President
Wilson's invitation to dine at the

that he could not allow himself to be
bound by confidential discussion, no
part of which he could use later in ar
gument or public discussion.

There are only two places in your whole

One is the radiator
The other is the battery.
If you forget your radiator you'll hear from
it right away.
If you forget your battery, it keeps on
working for while, but it is damaged just as
surely as your engine would be if you let the
radiator go dry.
Give your battery chance to make good
by having us add distilled water every week
or so, and test each cell with the Hydrom-
eter to make sure that you are keeping up
the charge.

Paris, Feb. 19.-The special commits
sion of the supreme council charged
with drafting the terms of a definite
armistice, which will hold good until
the peace preliminaries are signed, has
almost completed it's task and it is
possible, says a Hayas report, that
Marshal Ferdinand Foch will be able
to notify the Germans in two or three
days of the military and naval terms
which will be essentially those of the
preliminary peace treaty.
1t is understood that the terms will
include clauses by which Germany will
be allowed to maintain only 250,000
men under arms to keep order.
All war material beyond what is
necessary to equip these troops would
according to report, be placed under
control of the Allies, who will also
hold Germany's munition factories.

Tough in the United States. Work on
the details of the various problems will
continue during the presidents alb
