SENATORS FIGHT
OVER COMPULSORY
TRAINING BILL

Hull issued a statement, promptly
and generally construed as an en-
dorsement of CONSUMPTION, in which
he said that arming to the limit
was the only Ire way of avoiding
an attack on this hemisphere. Con-
sequently, he said leach citizen
must be ready and willing for real
sacrifice of time and of substance,
and for hard personal service"
Has Guard Bill
The senate had rhe National
guard mobilization bill before it
throughout the day, but spent most
OF it S time discussint eh applica-
ton of the Hatch act to he presen
presidential campaign, and listen
ing to the Minton-Holt clash. At
the close of the argument however,
Senator Barley of Kentucky, the
majority floor leader, obtained an
agreement limiting debate, through
which he hoped a final vote could
be had tomorrow. .
Holt, opposing the CONSUMPTION
legislation-under which men from
81 to 3, inclusive, would be subject
to compulsory military training
said the bill originated at a series
of meetings at the Harvard club
in New York, and that those be-
hind it were willing to draft boys
but not wealth.

ton came from foreign shores and

demonstration of approval, which

I'm getting weary of being lie

he himself was with the army in
France, Hollis father was urging
that no food be grown to be sent
to the soldiers there, and t h a I
Hollis father sent a son Ito hide
away in South America from the
draft"
Minton referred to a brother Of
Hollis. The senator, who is IS, was
too young to serve.
Holt, his face white, arose to
protest.
"if the time comes that congress
shall vote another war, and it be-
comes my duty to do it," he said,
I will stand up and do it like. a
man-but God forbid that I shall
ever have to do it. But if that un-
happy time comes, w will walk out
of the door, and take my boys
hand in mine and we will go down
to the recruiting station together
and do our duty as American Cit
zens."
Holt arose at once.
