WANT PREPAREDNESS
Three-Hour Debate Pre-
cedes Party Vote on
Resolution.

House Democrats in party caucus
went on record late yesterday as op-
posed to present action on the ques-
tion of compulsory military training
or service by a vote OF los to Il.
The following resolution was
adopted:
1T is the sense of this caucus that
no measure should be passed by this
Congress providing for universal COM
puisory military service or training. {"
Opposition TO the resolution was led
largely by the New York delegation.
and lively debate proceeded for more
than three hours before the final vote
came. II had been expected that the
vote would be very close. but the
publication of President wilson's let
ter to Secretary Baker urging that
the caucus take no action which
would tend to make a party issue Of
universal training turned the tide OF
sentiment.
Kahn Seeks Action.
Representative Julius Kahn. chair
man of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, is strongly in favor of a
vigorous and welI-defined policy OF
military training and has a strong fol-
lowing. while Majority Leader Mon
dell. Of Wyoming. heads the Repub-
lican opposition to definite training
policy at present
In President wilson's letter to Sec
retary Bai-r. which the latter trans
mitted 10 Representative Caldwell. the
executive says it would be "unfortu-
nate to make a party issue on this
subject. particularly since within a few
months the party will assemble in
convention and declare the principles
upon whichc it deems it wise TO COM
nit itself in a national election"
Fight Not Ended.
Yesterdays caucus was called by
e1-Speaker Champ Clark. who is
now speaking in the Third Missouri
Congressional District. The action
taken, however. will not end the
activities of those who espouse a
policy Of universal training and
who feel that the matter should not
be delayed. IL was stated after the
caucus last night.
The seventeen members who sup
ported the principle Of prepared
ness were: Bee. Texas; Caldwell,
New York; Campbell. Pennsylvania;

Democrats Hope to Secure
Concessions Which Will
Save Their Face.

The treaty Of peace Is again be-
fore the Senate and debate on res
Iervations will begin next Monday.
Action necessary to bringing the
treaty again before the Senate was
taken yesterday by Republican
Leader Lodge in the form of a mo-
tion that was unanimously adopted
by the Senate. Immediately after
Senator Lodges motion to suspend
the rules, on which motion nine
Senators cast a dissenting vote. the
Republican leader moved that the
treaty by referred to the Committee
ON Foreign Relations. This motion.
made for the purpose of freeing
the treaty from cioture. was carried
unanimously.
Committee Meets Today.
The instructions given the COM
mittee by the terms OF Senator
Lodges motion are that the treaty
must be reported back Immediately
with the Lodge reservations intact
and the resolution OF ratification
which failed to receive the neces-
sary two-thirds vote last November.
Today the full committee will
meet for this purpose. but owing
to the absence of a number of Sem
ators and the Illness of several
others, debate will not start until
Monday.
Yesterdays action wipes out all
the previous record of votes on the
reservations apd gives the Senate
a chance to start afresh on the con-

Senator Lodges program for con-

him yesterday. is as follows:
He will report the treaty to
the Senate with the original Lodge
3. When the debate opens he will
offer a number of notifications. which
were agreed TO in the recent bi-par-
tisan conference. These notifications
will relate only to the minor reserva-
tions and will not include Article 10
or the Monroe Doctrine.
,. Senator Lodge will then permit
some one on the Republican side,
probably Senator Kellogg, of Mime
sofa, or Senator Lenroot. OF Wiscon-
sin. to offer a substitute reservation
Ion Article 10. This reservation. al
though not directly sponsred by
Senator Lodge, will have his support.
The same course will be followed with
respect to the reservations on the
Monroe Doctrine.

The time-honored packages Of

have for years been sending TO

within an ace of being stricken

sharply attacked by a number of

For a time II appeared as though
the seeds were doomed but when
the roll-call was taken enough
votes were mustered to easily de-
feat an amendment offered by Rep
resentative Purnell of Indiana. to
strike out the item Of S30o,oeo for
seeds. by 13o to II votes.
Blanton declared that farmers
wouldN rather have their taxes cut
than to receive q 15-cent package
of garden seed. He further declared
that .Congressmen were "humbug-
ging' their constituents by sending
them seed as rgift," which the
farmers and other citizens Of the
country were paying for them
selves.
Pointing to the Republican side
and addressing his remarks to them
he told them to vote this item down
IL they we're so concerned in econoi
izing and to take 100000 OF the
taxes this year.
He concluded by saying that IL
