SENATOR WARNS
Reed Sees Need For Greater
Sacrifice; Would Train
Boys of the Nation
Washington, Dec. 13.—Warning
that the United States must prepare
to assume further burdens to win
the war was given in the Senate by
Senator Reed in vigorously opposing
as a trust scheme the Webb export
combination bill, which President
Wilson, in his recent address, urged
Congress to enact.
Declaring that Congress should
concentrate upon great war prob
lems and defer considering of such
legislation as the export trade meas
ure, the Missouri Senator said that
with Russia out of the war and Ru
mania also "gone," the enemy,
numerically, is now superior in man
power.
Although an opponent of army
conscription, Senator Reed predicted
that new draft levies probably would
be necessary and urged military
training for youths between eighteen
and twenty-one for coast defense
work. Invasion of America, he as
serted, was not beyond the realms
of possibilities should other allied
powers fall beside Russia, Rumania
and Serbia.
The Webb bill was denounced by
Senator Reed as destructive of the
Sherman antitrust law at behest of
trusts and monopolies and a pro
posed legalizing of illegal combina
tions which would encroach on con
sumers abroad, and increaso domes
tic prices.
"It repeals," he said, "every ves
tige of that system of antitrust stat
ues built up during twenty-eight
years by the Federal Government so
far as the same apply to commerce
with foreign powers. It is intended
to directly the creation of
combinations and trusts to control
every foreign market in which the
American citizen may seek to sell
liis goods. Indirectly it will enable
these same combinations to control
the domestic markets, because con
trol of the price of the surplus that
goes abroad to find a market con
trols the price of the home product.
This legislation has the enthusias
tic support of the allied trusts of the
United States, together with their
servants, agents, employes and sym
pathizers. It will be supported by
every newspaper that believes in the
control of big business, which re
gards every effort to control or cir
cumscribe the powers of capital as
undesirable and dangerous.
"The second outstanding fact is
that this system of laws, which had
for their purpose the preservation
of free and open markets for the
American people and which were
commonly known as thc trust stat
utes, which were originally passed
by the Republican party on the sec
ond day of July, 1889, and during
the intervening years have been fre
quently amended and laboriously
construed until they have become a
great code of virile laws behind
which honest business can take ref
uge, are sought to be disemboweled
during a Democratic administration
and at a time_ when the clouds and
anxieties of war have distracted at
tention of the country from any leg
islation except that pertaining to
the pending conflict."
Senator Cummins, of lowa, also
opposed the bill as a virtual repeal
of foreign trade combination provi
sions of the Sherman law.
Cannot Trust Memory
to Keep Dates Correctly
Memory plays odd tricks. At the
time important events occur they
make such deep impressions that it
would seem impossible for them to
be forgotten in any degree. Yet
dates, names and places often slip
the memory. A diary prevents mis
takes by recording essentials in their
proper relative places at the time
and scene of action. Old diaries long
since laid away have been frequent
ly used as conclusive evidence in
court. Since the war began every
body realizes the importance of keep
ing permanent records to give in lat
er years as many individual experi
ences as possible.
Of equal importance is the study
of French, whifch language is of
more importance than ever before.
To meet the demand for and to en
courage the keeping of permanent
records and gaining knowledge of
French and newspapers are supply
ing readers with The Soldiers-Sailors
Diary and English-French Diction
ary. In this book the diary spaces
are undated and may be used any
day. It never can become out-of
date.
The Soldiers-Sailors Diary and
English-French Dictionary is being
distributed in this city exclusively by
this paper on a coupon plan ex
plained on another page. The book,
which is richly bound in durable
textile leather and practically inde
structible, is of pocket size.'
