Mr. President. I should like to ask the Senator in charge of the bill if there is not some method by which we could separate those who are not soldiers and allow them to go. though they be refugees. and support only the soldiers and the families of soldiers who accompanied them. r confess it was information to me that the women and children of the soldiers accompanied them. If that be the fact. I certainly can not see how we can escape the obligation to care for the helpless ones in connection with caring for the soldiers themselves. but according to this statement there are a great many civilians. who did not belong to the army. who did not take up arms. and it does seem to me that they ought to be separated from the others. so that we will not be at any more expense than what is proper in observing the line of neutrality.
