the house this afternoon cleared the
decks and prepared for an all after

least 100 house votes for the amend

on final roll call.
1t was conceded today that several

Leaders Claim 100 Votes.
Recently a poll of the house has
been taken by constitutional conVen-
ton advocates 1t is asserted that on
final roll call not less than 100 of the
125 house members will vote for the
resolution. A two-thirds vote of the
house is needed. That means SO mem

This morning the visitors lobby
was crowded with women who came
to hear the debate on the resolution.
A motion to go into committee of the
whole without first taking up bills on
third reading, was beaten. This ac-
ton delayed consideration of the reso-
luton at the morning session. At the
afternoon session, however, the house
resolved itself into committee of the

ed for endorsement at the annual
meeting of the Woman's Kansas Day
club Wednesday. Mrs. May Belleville
Brown of Salina, head of the legisla-

lobbying for the measure in the legis-
lature.
The bill provides for an appropria-
ton sufficiently large to pay for the
planting of trees in Kansas to the
number of men that the state sent to
the service. Every man who wore
the uniform, according to the provi-
sions of the bill. is to be represented
by a tree planted to his memory. Each
county is to haye as many trees as
she furnished men for the service.

DEAN IN DEFENSE
Urges Charity in Criticising
Administration War Program.
Says Results Obtained Were as
Good as Possible.

Col John S. Dean this noon at the
Chamber of Commerce used strong
and forceful language in advocating
a spirit of charity in criticizing the
administration on it's method of hand
ling the war program and what has
been done turnout the war Dean
characterized the achievement of the
government in building. training and
supplying an army and then putting
the whole organization into France,
conveyed thru submarine infest ed
waters. as one of the greatest mill
tary achievements in history.
1T would not be possible for any
country to do a thing on the scale
attained by the United States at its
entrance into the war without making
some mistakes. and mistakes were
made" said Colonel Dean. This was
due largely to the fact that the coun-
try was totally and entirely UMPIRE
pared in any way for the job. The
army was built from practically moth
ing, officers were trained in a few
months and placed in positions OF
more or less responsibility the army
was clothed and fed, supplied with
ordnance and other military equip
ment. and finally transported to
France, where the same system of
supplies was in operation for taking
care of the large army the country
had in the field
There is no doubt, according to
Colonel Dean, but that the entrance
of the United States into the fighting
near the close of the war was the
necessary weight to cause the turning
point of the war. which would un-
doubleday lasted another year had the
American soldiers not been there in
sufficient strength to finish the job.
Had there been preparedness" said
Colonel Dean, there would have been
no crushing of Belgium. no Lusitania,
nor other affairs. thousands of which
it might be possible to mention The
entrance of the United States into the
war. in which their interest was prac-
tcally as vital as that of any other
country. would have been more
prompt and the duration of the war
would have been shortened by many
years"
Dean spoke of the casualty question.
Out of an army of l ,000,0 men in ac-
ton for no considerable length of time
as compared to the four years the
British and French were in, there
were 275,000 casualties, killed and
wounded, approximately Is per cent
Colonel Deans strongest point was
that much of this might have been
avoided had the United States been
prepared He closed his talk with a
strong advocation of system of pre-
paredness. IF a country is not as
efficient from a military standpoint
as some other country" said Dean,
sit is weaker than the other country
and would suffer the same conditions
sustained by the United MITES, should
a conflict arise. in prefQkng to de-
