SLACKERS IN SENATE
A MENACE
Hardwick of Georgia Would Destroy the Army and Make the United States a Laughing Stock
WASHINGTON—Critics of the selective draft are placing the United States in an extremely perilous position, the senate military committee was warned today. The committee unanimously recommended the rejection of the Hardwick amendment declaring that this amendment would disorganize the army and leave the nation powerless and make the United States the world's laughing stock. The Hardwick amendment would prevent the sending of conscripts to Europe. Senator Hardwick is planning to make a vigorous fight for his pet measure.
The senate today passed the Chamberlain resolution authorizing the conscription of friendly aliens. The resolution provides that all aliens of the countries may be drafted unless treaties exempt them. The soldier insurance bill is scheduled to pass the house today.
