They take notes and report to the government. Inasmuch as we are very rapidly becoming Prus- sianized we should follow the Prus- sian example at our meeting. Dr. Magnes pointed out that the organisers of the conference had re- solved that proposed adoption of any action ‘contrary tq the law would:be declared out of order but that they regarded as “perfectly within the law and favored all discussions as to the wisdom and unwisdom of exist. ing laws.”™ ~ Klefer in his address’ advised ap- peal to the courts as “the first duty of a patriotic citizen who has beer drafted.” “The conscription act,” he said, “is both immoral and unconstitutional. Tt violates prohibition against involun- tary servitude. Not even the hair- splitting plea can be urged in the present case that the Thirteenth amendinent’ does” not forbid national defense. ~~Sénding -conscripts to ‘Eu- rope is not mational dsfense but mix- ing in the quarrels of outside na- tions, and if, as is suyggested, con- scripts can be compelled to work as farm hands, factory hands or in other civil occupations, the Thirteenth amendment is not worth th¢ paper It is ‘written on.” NEW LOAN TO ITALY 000,000 of mo.m,ooo Secared From United States.
