Urisk debate on the man-power bill Ifnpagfd the attention of both houses throughout Thursday s session. The -fight revolved about the proposed drafting of men under the age of 21 years. Considerable sentiment was manifested at both ends of the capltol against reducing the draft age mlnl,mum limit. ' Rome members of both houses openly opposed the drafting of young men under 20 years of age. Others declared their intention of supporting amendments to compel the war department to put the men under 20 years into deferred classes to be called after all the men above 20 years of age In "class one are taken. Deferred Plan Assailed. Heeling ran high in the house over ,tho amendment of Representative Mc.Krnisfo of Illinois, placing youths under 20 years of age in deferred classes 'to be called laEt The amendment "was adopted Tuesday by the house -military affairs committee. Representative Piatt of New York caused an upToar by a bitter attack upon the amendment. ri "It represents the last dying gasp of the obstructionists and the pacifists who opposed the first draft," Representative Piatt asserted. Representative McKenzie was on his -feet instantly. "I won't allow my patriotism to be au?stioned by any one," ,b shouted Indignantly.

"After we have obtained the army proposed In this draft we will need another army probably of 3.000,000 men. Where are they to come from? It will be necessary to go Into the deferred classes then. I believe that we should go Into the deferred classes now and not excuse men simply because they are married." Senator Chamberlain made a vigorous argument for the work or fight amendment, declaring men at home should work or Join the army, since the soldiers have to light for $30 a month and get shot, if they disobey orders. Citing precedents dating back to the revolution for calling men 13 to 45, the Oregon senator said; "This pussyfoot policy of getting over a few men now and a few more later has already delayed prosecution of the war," and that he wanted to eee an American army under American command, and under the American flag at the front. Senator Reed predicted that 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 men would have to be raised before the end of . the war, which, he said, would last another twenty-four months. He advocated sending half a million men at once to Russia, declaring they .would keep 2,500,000 Austrian soldiers busy and, if the Russians opposed them, it would

prove Russia was a vassal or uermany. Baker Against Amendment. The first outburst of applause in the debate occurred when Representative Kahn of California, quoted the testimony of Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, to the effect that they proposed under the man power bill to put 4,000,000 on the western front by June 30, 1919. Secretary of War Baker went on record Thursday as strongly opposing the McKenzie amendment. "According to Gen. Crowder's figures," Mr. Baker said, "it will not be possible to have eighty divisions abroad by July 1 withut using the 18 and 19 year old men." "It is the policy of the war department," the secretary added, "to call last, as far as practicable, the men from 18 to 19, as I told theenate committee, and I hoped that the congress would not make the law so Inelastic as to make It impossible for us to call the 18 to 19 men until we could certify definitely that we had exhausted the other ages, because the long drawn out processes of classifying and deferring men may take so long that we can never tell when we have absolute ly finished with the other ages. My plan was to defer the call of the 18 to 19 men as far as practicable, and I hoped that the congress would not make their law any more inelastic than that." ROMAN VOSMEIER IS INJURED IN ACTION Roman Vosmeier, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Vosmeier, 517 South E street, was wounded during the drive of July 18, according to word received by his parents. He is now in a base hospital and is recovering rapidly. Throughout the Andrean plateau potatoes are grown at altitudes where even the hardiest grains and vegetables will not grow.
