Democratic Caucus Ignores Plea
of President and Decides ‘No’
on Universal Military Training.
By WINDER R. HARRIS,
Staff Correspondent Universal Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Ignoring
a strong appeal from President Wil
son that the ‘national emergencies
which may confront us” should re
strain them from taking such action,
the Democratic members of the
/House, in a caucus last night, went
on record against compulsory univer«
sal service or training, the vote being
106 to 17.
In view of the combined military
and political reasons, he urged, the
overwhelming majority by which the
President’s' advice was rejected by
his party colleagues in Congress is
looked upon as a defiant repudiation
*.of his leadership. On a substitute
motion to stand by the President and
take no action at this time, only 37
votes could be mustered, as against
88 in the negative.
NOT ALWAYS THUS.
The breach between the President
and the party as represented in the
House becomes more pronounced as
it is recalled that while the Demo
crats were in control of the legisla
tive machinery the expression of a
wish by the White House was a sig
nal for enactment of a law to carry
out the wish. Many of the leaders
who steadfastly supported him then
took the floor against him.
‘| Even the solemn warnings of some
of the practical politicians of the
party that to cause an open discus
sion of opinion between the Presi
dent and the party in Congress might
prove a fatal political move went un
heeded. Stirring appeals based. on
the ground of patriotism and national
safety likewise were of no avail
SAY U. S. AGAINST IT.
Those who were bent on commit
ting the party against the policy of
military training declared the coun
try is against it and regardless of
how the President stands the Demo
crats in Congress should make known
their attitude to the country.
Here is the text of the resolution:
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that no measure should
he passed by the Congress proviaing
for universal compulsory military
service or training.”
The resolution, as originally pro
posed by Representative Ayres of
Kansas, was in this form:
WORDING IS CHANGED.
“Resolved,®That the Democrats of
this Congress are opposed to compul
sory military training in time of
peace.”
The words ‘“time of peace” were
stricken out on an amendment by
Representative Gard of Ohio. Rep
resentative Humphries of Mississippi
then secured the adoption of an
amendment to change the wording
so as to confine gthe declaration of
policy to the caucus rather than
Jeave it covering “the Democrats of
this Coagress.”
The measure then was re-written
into the form in which it was finally
adopted. |
The substitute motion providing‘
that no action be taken by the caucus
was offered by Representative Dore- |
mus of Michigan, former chairman |
of the Democratic congressional cam
paign eommittee. ‘
MILITARISTS STILL FIGHTING.,
House Democratic advocates of
universal military training are pre
paring today to bolt the caucus de
cision against compulsory training!
legislation at this session of Congress
by voting to bring the legislation be
fore the House as a part of the army
reorganization bill which is now be
ing framed by the House Military
Affairs Committee. |

“decisive vote of 106 to 17 not only
determines the Democratic party’s at
titude on this subject, but makes it
certain that universal military train
ing will not pass through this
Congress.”
“The Democrats have mnot only
written a plank in the next Demo
cratic platform, but by preventing the
adoption of universal military train
ing by this Congress they have made
it quite certain that that plank will
not be in the next Republican plat
form, and that means that no pro
fessional soldier will be nominated
by either party,” Mr. Bryan predicted.
“When one considers the far-reach
ing results of the action taken by
the Democrats, yesterday was an im
portant day,” Mr. Bryan said.;, “I
hope the Democrats will take cour
age from this victory and proceed to
formulate a constructive pelicy cov
ering all issues before the country.
“The Republican leaders seem to be
afraiq to make an advance along any
line,” he said. “They have spent their
time critcizing the acts of the ad
ministraion when it had to decide
things on the moment and under the
stress and strain of the greatest war
in history.
“The Democrats in the minority
can force the Republicans to face is
sues and thus put the Republican
party on the defensive.” ‘

Jealous, Says Man Who Mailed
Bomb to-Divorced Wife's
Friend.
Paul B. Carter, in the Federal
Court Tuesday morning, entered a
plea of guilty to the charges of send
ing an infernal machine throught the
mails to Capt. John Kneubel, formerly
of Camp Gordon, and was sentenced
by Judge Samuel H. Sibley to serve
five years in the, Federal Prison in
Atlanta. After Carter’s attorneys had
entered his plea they read parts of
a twenty-four page statement he hudl
dictated while confined in jail, in|
which the prisoner interwove into h!s‘
| life’s history the motive for his crimel
l——an overpowering jealousy for the
affections of his former wife, .\hss’
Claire McMillen, an employee of the|
Federal Board for Vocational Educa
tion in the Forsyth Building.
Carter appeared in the court, ap
parently under a high nervous ten
sion, between his attorneys, Lawton
Nally and H. W. McLarty. The gov
ernment was represented by Hooper
Alexander, district attorney, and W.
Paul Carpenter, assistant district at- |
torney. The former made a short talk
in which he vindicated Captain Kneu
bel,' a. native of Ebenezer, N. Y., the
intended victim of the infernal ma
chine, of untoward conduct. |
WITNESSES HERE.
Among the witneSses present were
Captain Kneubel, Posteffice Inspec
tor George F. Smith of Buffalo, who
|conducted the investigation which led
|to Tarter’s arrest, the proprietor of
| the house in which Carter lived while
he was a resident of Philadelphia and
where he constructed the infernal
machine, a chemist from Pittsburg
and a clerk from the Buffalo postof
| fice inspector's office.
' The evidence spread on a table be
fore assistant district attorney, look
-led formidable enough to blow up
|an army division. It consisted of
| the dismantled infernal machine, |
which had been made harmless by |
the contact of the cancellation. ma
| chine when it was mailed at the At
“lanta postoffice, several acids, dy
tnamite. small electric batteries,
buckshot, cartridges, fuse wire and!
|a variety of other essentials of an|
| infernal machine. The machine was
| improvised from a camera box, which
| was lined with zinc.

If consumers will buy sugar spar
ingly for the next few days gen
eral relief from the sugar shortage
that has existed here for the last
week will come soon, in the opinion
of R. I. Barge, president of the At
lanta Retail Food Dealers’ Associa
tion, who says the acute stage has
been passed.
For several days it has been almost
impossible to purehase sugar in At
lanta at any price, but shipments
arriving Monday and Tuesday served
to relieve the situation to a certaln_
extent.
Mr. Barge says some of the whole«
salers attribute the shortage to the
recent strikes in Cuvpa while others
declare that it is simply due to the
fact that the old sugar crop is going
out and the new crop is coming in.
“With the new crop coming in now
there should be no serious shortage
of sugar, in the near future” said
Mr., Barge. “We are getting some'
sugar now and have been promised
more by the end of the week. If
the consumer will buy carefully and
buy only for immediate needs the
situation will work itself out satis-,
factorily.” :
