EDSEL FORD ATTACKED.
Exemption Is Discussed by Senator
Sherman in Election Case.

Exemption from military service Of
Edsel Ford, son of the Detroit auto
mobile manufacturer, was the SUBJ
ject of an attack in the Senate
by Senator Sherman. Illinois, who
said young Ford was "a presidential
pet" and had been saved from serv-
ing in the Army by an abuse of exec
utive power
The Illinois senator asserted that
as a member of the committee con-
sidering the FordNewberry senatorial
contest he had asked Secretary Baker
for a copy of the proceedings in the
Ford exemption case, but that
the request had been denied on the
ground that the hearings were not a
public record. Mr.. Sherman said he
desired to establish that Henry Ford
had been defeated in the senatorial
election because of the contempt
Of the people Of Michigan over his
sons exemption.

NEW LIGHT ON SOLDIER PAY.
That of British Dominion Forces
Higher Than American.

Popular belief that the American
soldier is higher paid than that of
any other country is erroneous, &C
cording to an official table issued by
the general staff.
This shows the three British do
minions-Australia. New Zealand and
Canada-allow materially higher pay
for each grade than does the United
States. For instance, in the Aus
tralian army a corporal earns $3.50
per month, as compared to $50 in
the American Army. The other eX-
IRENE is shown in the cases of France.
Japan and Italy, where the private
receives $3.50, 70 cents and SIS cents
per month, respectively, against the
$50 paid the American doughboy.
