DRAFT QUESTION UP FOR DEBATE

Senate O. K. Assured But Bitter Fight Promised in House —May Reach Vote Wednesday.

Washington, April 22.—The administration’s war army ibnl will be under debate in both houses of congress tomorrow with right of way over all other legislation until passed. Interest centers upon the house, where there is to be a great fight .between spokesmen for President Wilson and the majority of the military committee over the selective draft plan. A vote may be reached on Wednesday. In the senate debate began yesterday and probably will continue for several days, but it is "regarded as a foregone conclusion that the measure, as drawn by the .general staff and approved by the president, will be passed there by a substantial majority. /L , ... Chairman Dent, of the house military committee, and nine other committeemen will make the fight for the bill as reported by them, which proposes that the army shall be raised by calls for volunteers in increments of 500,000, and that the draft shall be resorted to only unless and until that system has failed. . Despite the opposition of Chairman Dent, administration supporters mamtained tonight that they would override his volunteer plan by from 20 to 25 votes at the least.

Saved Two Hundred Millions.

According to reports from Washington, Secretary of War Baker urged the appropriations committee of the house to report favorably on a lump appropriation of over -$2,000,000,000 which administration officials could spent in any way they saw fit. The committee insisted upon specifications as to the particular purposes for which the estimate was made. In one day’s cross-examination of the war department officials the admissions were made that the estimates discussed that day contained $200,000,000 more than the department actually thought would be needed. Such instances as there make it necessary for members of congress to be constantly vigilant in the protection of the interests of the people of the country.

SILVER IS TAKEN

Guests Cost Big Hotels Fortunes Every Year. Managers of New York Hostelrloo Declare They Must Replace Hundreds of Thousands of Dollar*’ Worth of Valuable*. Are people who live in hotels less honest than those who stick to their own home and fireside? The stewards of the big New York hotels, who each year spend hundreds of thousands of dollars replacing missing silverware and furnishings, say they are. The ravages of souvenir-hunting guests as well as college boys and girls with a fad for collecting hotel silver, together with the wear and tear of the regular routine business costs each large hotel between $600,000 and $700,000 a year. The hotel managers hold their guests responsible for the loss of silverware stolen by employees, saying the servants just Imitate the guests. In addition to the losses through souvenir-hunters thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of small tableware, oyster forks, butter plates, spoons and bread-spreaders are overlooked and thrown away. The hotel refuse is carefully examined before it leaves the hotel and an average of half a barrel of ware is recovered each day. But in spite of all precautions a good deal is thrown away. The next most costly item of expense is in the china and glassware. It eosts one hotel more than sloo,ooo'' a year to keep itself in these two items of tableware. The linen item In one of the Fifth avenue hotels cost $95,000 when the hotel opened last year. Since that time more than $20,000 has been used to replenish the supply. All of this linen comes from the north of Ireland. The war has made it Increasingly difficult to get the right quality because most of the best flax in the world came from Belgium. In the same hotel $12,500 was spent for candle and lamp shades before the hotel was opened. In the past year $7,000 has been spent for new stock. As the shades range in price from $1 to S2O it is easy to see where the money goes. A small detail in the annual budget of a hotel is matches. In spite of the fact that electricity is used exclusively,2o,ooo boxes are needed each month. And soap! Last year one hotel used 28,420 cakes of soap. ——r A monster new hotel is being erected in New York and the purchasing agent has been very busy laying in supplies. As a sample of his purchases the following may be mentioned : 160,000 pieces of silver in one day, costing $243,000; 18,000 sheets and pillow cases; 60,000 towels for rooms and 18,000 for the restaurant department He is going to buy thousands of beds, chairs, desks, hatracks, bookcases and other furnishings before he is finished, and in addition he Is in the market for baby carriages, toothpicks, cooks’ caps, bath mats, sates and about ten dozen other things.

CORN COMMITTEE URGES CORN JESTING

Arrangements Have Been Made With School Authorities to Test All Seed Corn. P. H. tauter, M. J. Delehanty and Charles Welch, corn improvement committee of the Jasper County Better Farming Association, met Last Saturday afternoon to devise plans for increasing the production of corn in the county this season. The committee urges every fanner to adopt the testing of each seed ear planted. (For those who- have not the time to do this themselves, arrangements have been made with the Rensselaer schools to test freeof charge all seed com broughtm within the next few weeks. Mr. Delehanty will take up the matter with the Wheatfield school and Mr. Welch with the Remington school with a view of making similar arrangements in euch of these towns. The committee intends to see that the papers are supplied with timely articles on corn production and recommends that each farmers’ club of the county devote some part of its next program to a discussion of this subject. The committee will undertake to locate good seed for those who need it and any farmers who have good seed to buy or sell may receive assistance through the Better Farming Association’s agent. As a shortage of good seed exists it is especially desired that all who have seed for sale make the fact known through the recognized mediums of the country. The committee recommends that every farmer test out his planter before the season opens and so grade the seed by hand and by grading that he may be certain of an absolutely uniform crop. The committee wishes to secure two more farmers to conduct variety tests with corn this year. That no best variety has been discovered for this county is indicated by the numerous types grown. Arrangements have been made with Purdue University for a series of variety test in the county and two more farmers aretd be selected. J The committee also made preliminary arrangements for a com show next fall.

Never Get Too Old to Show Martial Spirit.

The following taken from the Monon News, typifies the soil it of the men who have already worn the country's uniform in previous wars, as well as those who have been handicapped by age when the call to arms has sent the patriotic blood tingling through the veins: “Corydon Garwood says so many are asking if he is ready to go to war again, and whether he thinks he can fool them again, that he will answer them this way. “We was born April 1, 1848, and on April l, was fifty years old, and a few days later when the Miaine was Mown up by the Spaniards he was 43 years old and enlisted in Co. I, Ind. Volunteer Infantry, and served two months on duty in the United States and Cuba, and then was mustered out with -the regiment. And then on April 1,1917, he was 69 years old, and on April 6, when war was declared with Germany, he was 44 years old and his eldest son, Homer A. Garwood, of South Bend, will be 44 years old his next birthday anniversary, but he says he i*‘yet ready to help protect the flag.”

I was nervous, languid, and hardly able to drag around. My liver and kidneys were sluggish and my complexion sallow. I felt sleepy and drowsy most all day, yet I did not sleep well at night My heart fluttered terribly at times. I was in this miserable condition two years.

BULLETINS.

London, April 21. —Ten thousand strikers, mostly munition workers, tried to burn the town hall at Magdeburg on Friday, according to a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Oldenzaal, Holland. Soldiers fired on the rioters, killing and wounding many and the town is, in a state of siege. Copenhagen, April 19. —According to the Berlin Vorwaerts the strike continues everywhere in Berlin and Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg’s reply to a deputation of workers from the Deutsche Waffen and Muntions Fabrik, of Berlin, *was a declination to assume the task of arbitrator. Amsterdam, April 20.—More than five hundred German fusiliers, sailors and landstrumers on Monday evening tried to cross the Dutch-Bel-belgian frontier from the environs of Kjnocke to near Cadzand, Holland, says the Handelsblad, but the attempted desertion was frustrated after the party had been pursued and attacked by Uhlans. The deserters were fired on by the Uhlans with machine guns, and in a fight which lasted a half hour 38 of the deserters were wounded. The mounted guards along the frontier, the • newspaper added, have since been doubled.
