LACK OF MEN NOT U. S. FAULT Allies Did Not Ask for Troops ,iFrom America in Time; Gallin ger Contradicts Him. Washington. April 27. (V. r.) By a vote of 41 to 37 the senate this afternoon defeated the Hoke Smith amendment ex cluding the federal reserve board from the operation of the Overman bill. Washington, April 27. (U. P.) "Un less the Girman drive la stopped by July 1, the war must be won by the allied navies," Henator Lewis declared in a speech on the Overman empowering' bill. "Unless we cannot only stop but turn ' the Germans by that date the war must be transferred to the unconquered and invincible navy, which, with our allies' navies, will bring the victory America deserves," said Lewis, Lewis declared intimations from al lied countries that the United States has fallen down In getting men abroad, con stitute -an "unfair accusation." Lark ef Men Met Faalt ef U. S. . "it is time somebody spoke frankly to the American people," he said. "I am bold enough to tell them that the reason we haven't more men on the battle line U that when we entered the war, our allies' representatives here . urged that for a year we send no men. "If the lack of American troops- abroad is causing Inconvenience or some other result, it Is not the fault of con ', greas or the American government. I - call that to the attention of those from ' whatever quarter of the world they . come, who are crying to us now to . hasten." t Henator Ualllnger said Lewis was ; wrong; that General Joffre publicly i urged America to send all the men that j could be sent. Lewis declared Joffre i asked for officers for the moral effect j their presence would have, and later for I some regular soldiers. J Speaks for Overman Hill ' l.ewls then declared that quick pass ! as 6 of the Overman bill would give the j president power to speed up all debart j ments to meet whatever conditions may j arise, whether they concern naval or j land warfare. ! Senator Lodge made a plea that the ; federal reserve bank be not included J In the scope of the bill. ' 'This Is one of the few engines that j has worked admirably nlnce the war ! began. Any interference with Its func S Hons might bring on a panic, which I dislike to contemplate," he declared. He also urged that the Interstate cotn . marce commission, the government prlnt- Ing plant and the congressional library be exempted from its provisions. He then touched on politics. ' "The only place to win victories is over In France where the American 'armies are," he said. "If the president -wins the war or picks out the men who " will win the war, he can have the presi i dency and the senate, for all 1 care." -A i' ' 1 1 1 . -Passes Streetcar And Is Fined $25 ' For passing a street car discharging passengers, M.
