ceeded in getting into the naval ap-
preparation bill, which is now under
consideration in congress, an amend
ment intended to prevent the navy
department from recalling without
his consent any member OF the naval
reserve force for the purposes of
training in the coming fiscal year.
Mr.. Mcdowell in a speech explained
the situation brought about in Iowa
and elsewhere by the fact young men
in the naval reserve who are need
ed at home, are being ordered to
report for training after July / to

Dowell protested against this and
said it was causing hardship in many
instances and that he had received
complaints about it. Some of these
complaints came from Des Moines.

ceived like complaints.
