DRUM ADVISES | CONSCRIPTION

‘All Must Be Called to Serve With Us,” He Tells Officers After Games.

FIRST ARMY FIELD HEADQUARTERS, CANTON, N. Y., Aug. 23 (U, P).—Lieut. Gen. Hugh A. Drum urged national conscription instead of the volunteer system for men and weapons last night in a speech terminating the First Army 1940 maneuvers, At a critique attended by 14000 officers, Gen. Drum praised the 90.000 officers and men who fought the “Battle of the St. Lawrence” during the last three weeks, but warned that “we are too few to meet the. problems aheaa and must qemand that all citizens be called to serve with us in preparing for the threatened crisis.” Drawing Jessons from euvers, he pointea out basic preparedness weaknesses ana outlined His entiof the nation's S and equipment of manpower ganized for modern

We Il Stay Until Until Conse

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (U. P).! —A group of middle-aged mothers, heads draped in black, today pro“mourning” vigil over

until election day unless' the con-

| scription bill is defeated. {

Nine of them sat on the hard, wooden benches in the ornate Sen ate reception room. They planned to conduct their “mourning” in relays, carrying on in the House if the Senate passes the bill, and at the White Hopse, if both chambers approve it. + All, they said. are mothers with sons of military age. They claim to represent 10.000 members of “the Mothers of the United States.” The number of them in Washington is uncertain, but they sav that “reinforcements” are on the way.

Same Group “Hanged” Pepper

It is the same group that Wednesday hanged in effigy Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla) on the lawn in front of the capitol. Senator Pepper is an ardent draft supporter, Mis. Rosa Farber of Detroit, vice president of the organization, said that if President Roosevelt signs the conscription bill the mourners will become pickets. “Why, we'll picket the home of every Senator or Congressman who votes for compulsory military training,” she said. “What we really are doing,” one said, “is already mourning the political deaths of Senators who vote for the bill. It is un-Amer-ican and unnecessary.” “If Congress passes this bill we will all be mourning the death of a free country,” another added.

Pay Own Expenses Is Claim Mrs. Farber insisted that all the women paid their own expenses and cited the case of one woman who came to Washington with a roundtrip railroad ticket and 41 cents “Thats how interested we are in this bill,” she said. Capitol police say no mare hangings. The demonsteation apparently was having a realistic affect on passing swght-seers, “It some Senator dead? it?” one asked. Others bowed spoke in Xosispere,
