WA8HIN0T0N, D. C. March 25.
With the bulletins of the German
drive before them, the senate Satur
day afternoon sidetracked all other
bualneaa to devote Ita energies ex
clusively to measure for strengthen
Inc America's flahtlna arm.
Returning to the canltol from their
waeklv conference with the war coun
cil, the members of the senate mil
itary affairs committee Immediately
brought up the hill for the drafting
of all young men who have attained
the age of SI years since registration
day.
The measure, It was estimated,
would add 709,000 men annually to
the list available for the draft.
Senators sounded the gravest war
alnga to urge unhesitating action.
Senator Oiaajberlaln. chairman of
the comnrlttee'diclared that 'the re-
norts belna- received today made It
dear that It mlaht become necessary
to advance the age limit for the draft
to bring In men pa it 31 and as high
as 45.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
declared the atrength of the army
should be doubled.
Senator Smith said that the num
ber of men should be doubled as welt
as the supply of powder.
"And what's more, we should get
some forco and drive and real ad
ministrative ability behind our artil
lery program," he declared.
Senator Hardwlck of Georgia tried
to have the bill amended to let out
drafted men aa they attain the ago
of al yearn. This was advocated by
Secretary of War Daker, but rejected
by the military affairs committee. The
amendent was shouted down by an
overwhelming chorus of "noes."
Senator New of Indiana took ad
vantage of the crisis to rally the ad
vocates of universal military train
ing. He proposed to make the 21-year-old
registration bill permanent
ly operative.
Thla would be, In effect, universal
military training. He declared
would Insist upon a
tba measure.

over the former average dally sales of

' Tho Liberty. Chorus heretofore or
ganized to furnish music during the
coming Liberty Uond campaign was
ordered disbanded by Captain Fergu
ran iiiion receiving: a report of the
music committee on Saturday even
ing, and a new chorus ordered organ
ireil at once. For some time trouble
has been browing within the chorus
on account of some who were unable
to place personal Jealousies, petty
prejudices and childish rivalries In
the background and Join In the work
of doing everything possible to assist
their government. That this attitude
will not be tolerated Is evident by the
order to disband the chorus. Bolshe-
vlkl methods will not be permitted to
interfere .with the work or tho Third
liberty Loan, and It the musicians of
Klamath County cannot Join-In assist-
Ing In the great big work undertaken
by tho government and bury all per
sonal differences, the meetings will
bo held without music.
The music committee Is now busy
gathering together those who are
willing to co-operate with the govern
ment, and It is hoped that the new
chorus to be organized will be free
from all petty annoyances and dis
turbances, which have Interfered wun
the work of the old chorus.
A full report or the difficulty la be.
im; made to Liberty Loan headquar-
tern In Portland.'as all such matters
nre mnde matters of record by the
government, for It Is the Intention of
the government from this time on to
record every matter In connection
with war v.ork. Military servlco Is
rot the only service that is Important
and necessary to succcssrully carry
out tho purpose of the government
and the department of civilian service
will have us complete a record as the
unr rinnartment. and those who fall
to respond and conscientiously per
form tho duties assigned to them win
(lud their refusal or failure Is n mat-
ler of public record which will per
hoiM confront them In after years.
Those who are selected for further
work In tho new Liberty Chorus are
being notified to report at the Cen
