SAW NO OBJECTION

the issue before the caucus. frequent references to the President and Secretary Baker were injected into the discussion. Representative Kitchin declared with all due deference' to these officials he be- lieved there could be no objection to the House stating it's position, especially since both officials had put the party on record" by announcing their attitude
 MT Kitchin, in explanation of the Presi- dents stand, told his colleagues that MT. wilson's illness had "unfortunately re- moved the executive from an intimate touch with national affairs and sentl- ment. In this connection. he read a tele- gram from Representative Ferris, Okla homa, chairman of the democratic con gressional committee, declaring the country is opposed to universal training
 The opinion of Mr Ferris was cited by Mir. Kitchin as that of one who knows the feeling of every district in the coun- try" which prompted response rom the floor, 'Yes; Perrin is running for the Senate"
 Taking up the attack. Representative Flood declared it was "all right to talk of waiting for the national convention, but he added that the convention might get the idea we are for training, py the silence of House members
 Answering both speeches. Representa- tive Caldwell declared that every post Of the American l-tS loi py eiiS s'NsAN'i " day at Indianapolis had gone on record in favor of universal training.
 He urged that political expediency favor declaration for such training, rather than stand against it. Representative Odney. Massachusetts, and Fisher, Ten nessee. both members of the House mill tary committee along with MT. Cald- weiI also urged no action at present, but inc other democratic committeeman op- nosed them or remained silent.

WILSON'S APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS IN
 HOUSE IGNORED
(Continued from Page One)

The present disturbed state of the world does not permit such sureness with regard to Americas obligations as to allow us lightly to decide upon this great question upon purely mili- tary grounds while the demonstrated advantages to the use of the country which came from military service in the war plainly suggest that in the national interest qul.e apart from military considerations, the moderate and carefully conducted course of mili- tary framing may have the highest possible military advantages. In cur oIscussion of the subject, you will re-
 call, l gave my approval in principle
 to the various very moderate training projects suggested by the general staff and 1 would be very glad to have you convey to appropriate members of the
 House who will attend the caucus my strong feeling against action by the caucus. which will tend to interpose an arbitrary party determination to the consideration which this subject should receive from the best thought of the ! members of the House, considering alike the national emergencies which may confront us and the great discip- linary and other advantages which i such & system plainly promises for the | young men of the country

OPPOSED BY DENT

Debate in the caucus by those favorins universal training reflected the Presi- dents stand. Representatives Kitchn, North Carolint Flood, Virginia, and Dent, Alabama, were among the speak CTS opposing the acceptance of his argu- ment Though urging rejection of the Presidents stand, these and other demo- crats offered no personal criticism of either the President or Secretary of War Baker, who recently announced his sup port of universal training.
 After the caucus some of the democrats frankly stated that their action was an assertion of their "independence' in the belief that they knew the sentiment of the country better than either the Presi- dent or the party leaders.
 Reading of the Presidents letter vir- tually opened the business before the caucus, and almost immediately after ward Representative Caldwell, who read the letter, sought to block any action by moving adjournment. His proposal was lost by an unrecorded, but over whelming vote. General debate was then precipitated by Representative Ayers, Kansas, offering the resolution recording the democrats against universal training. Speakers did not discriminate between universal training and service-the latter including the enrolment of the youths into the army-and as finally adopted the resolution was so changed as to de- clare opposition to both.
