' CONSCRIPTION AGREED ON. AGK LIMITS KI.\KI> AT 21 TO :U YKAI5S. Conference Adjusts Difference* in House and Senate Measures.?To Ilegin Registration at Once. Washington. May 1 a.?The long deadlock of senate and house conferees on the selective draft military bill was broken today with agreement on a compromise measure under which a great war army would be I raised by selective conscription of men between the ages of 21 and 30. inclusive. The conference report is expected to be given approval by both senate and house within a few days and within two weeks after the president has affixed his signature registration of those eligible for conscription will be under way throughout the country. Some States already have selected their registration boards and the war department has erected a vast and intricate war machine for assigning and organizing the conscripts. They will be assembled at training camps in September. Compromise Satisfactory. The compromise bill is understood to be generally satisfactory to the administration and to the army general staff, on whose advice the orig" inal measure was framed. The most important change made in congress was in the age limits, fixed by the staff at 1 9 to 25. inclusive. The sen. ate made them 21 to 27 and the house 21 and 40. The ages named in the conference agreement are 21 and 30 inclusive, making the draft applicable to all male voters under 31. Roosevelt Proposition. Although there has been no direct - authoritative expression from the white house regarding the Roosevelt volunteer proposal, administration opposition to it has been inferred from the fact that no provision for volunteers was contained in the bill as sent to congress from the war department. With the Roosevelt proposal the conferees also threw out a similar amendment under which three regiments of volunteers could have been enlisted for service on the . Mexican border. Exemption From DraftThe section dealing with exemp . tions from draft was unwritten in part by the conference committee and provision was made for hearings in > exemption applications before local \ civil triounais, wua tne ngni 01 appeal to a second tribunal and finally to the president. Two of the house conferees refused to sign the conference report. Representative Anthony, of Kansas, would not accept it because the Roosevelt amendment was striken out. Representative Kahn. of California, would not agree to the prohibition amendment, contending that it reflected on the moral standards of the nation anc} that regulatory pro?' * visions should be left to the president. MUST MAKE MANY SACRIFICES. "War Against Germany Means Grim _ Business Every Way. ( 1 " Washington, May 12.?President Wilson said in a public address here today that the struggle against Germany "means grim business on every side of it," but that America had put its heart into the task and would respond as a united nation to the call to service. Speaking of the dedication of a Red Cross memorial for the women of the war between the States, the president predicted that the present ctrncrerlo nnt nnlv wnulri nhlUprflfp thp ou V*J3?VV ? last division between the North and South/but would wipe out "any lines either of race or association cutting athwart the great body of the nation." Look for Xo Profit. "We look for no profit." said he. "We will accept no advantage out of this war. We go because we believe the very principles on which the American republic was founded are now at stake and must be vindicated." Former President Taft introduced Mr. Wilson as the nation's leader in the greatest war in history, a war whose sacrifices we cannot realize." Secretary Baker formally presented the memorial building to the Red Cross society and the president's address was made in accepting it as Honorary neaci or me society. Handsome Building. The building, a handsome $800.000 structure built by the government, was dedicated to both the women of the North and South. Mr. Wilson declared that although the United States had gone into the war "with no special grievance of our own." the cost might be sufferings and sacrifices of such magnitude that those of the civil war would seem infinitessimal. To the end that the best use be made of aid to alleviate conditions he urged that all philanthropic efforts be directed through organized channels, such as the Red Cross. dkops rk\sonsHir. Senate Approves Bill Forbidding I'se of Brain for Liquor. Washington. .Alay 12.?The first I legislative move toward conservation of the nation's food resources and a long step toward an absolutely dry 1'nited States was taken tonight by the senate in approving, 38 to 2. an amendment to the administration espionage bill forbidding during the war the use of cereals or grain in the manufacture of intoxicating liquor. By a majority of one vote the senate also threw out of the bill the administration's press censorship section and then voted /overwhelming ly not to put in a modified section as was done in the house. This action is expected to throw the censorship fight into conference, where the influence of the administration can he brought to bear more directly. Prohibition Amendment. The prohibition amendment was adopted under a resolution limiting debate sharply and there were only brief speeches on each side. Just previously the senate had voted down, 4 7 to 25. a proposal to forbid sale of intoxicants during the war. Effective September 1 the amendment is calculated to confine sale and consumption to whiskey and other grain liquors already in stock and to wines, brandies or other drinks that depend on other materials for their main constituents. Another opportunity to vote upon it will be offered when the senate takes the bill with the amendment from the committee of the whole, but opponents of the prohibitory provision are not confident that they will be able to overturn today's action. Loss in I {even ues. Estimates during the debate were that at least $200,000,000 annually internal revenues would be lost if the amendment stands. Elimination of the press censorship section ended a long and bitter fight. The vote was 39 to 3S. Opportunity will come also for another vote on this section and the administration is expected to make an effort to have the senate reverse itself. The prohibition amendment, proposed by Senator Cummins, Republican, of Iowa, reads as follows: "That on and after September 1, 1917, during the period of the war with the imperial government of Germany, it shall be unlawful to use o? employ, directly or indirectly, any cereal, grain, sugar or syrup in the production of intoxicating liquor in any form or of any kind; provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the use of sugar or syrup in the manufacture of wines as now authorized by existing law; provided further, that this section shall not be construed to make unlawful the manufacture of alcohol or intoxicat iag liquor for industrial, mechanical, medicinal, sacramental or scientific purposes under rules and regulations to be established by the secretary of the treasury. "A violation of this section would be punished by a fine of not more than $3,000 or imprisonment for not more than three years, or both." OFF TO TRAINING CAMP. Over Two Hundred South Carolinians Go to Fort OgIethori>^' S Columbia, May 14.?Two hundred and fifty young South Carolinians, potential officers in the national army, which is to be mobilized later in the summer, entrained in Columbia yesterday afternoon for the training camp at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga. Failure by some to receive official notification until late yesterday somewhat reduced the contemplated number. Only 31 of the Charleston contingent came up from the Sea Gull city. The number enlisting from Charleston is much in excess of that figure, but camp communications, which did not arrive in Charleston * "' i? ?1,_ m/M.nin<r <">rm 1H linT until late m luc inuiuiub, vuu>? .... be delivered in time for all the enlisted men to get away on the Carolina Special. The special, composed of six Pullman cars, a diner, one day coach and a baggage car, will take the men directly to the camp. Another Pullman was to be attached in Asheville. A stop of one hour will be made in Chattanooga this morning for breakfast. Schedules call for the arrival at Fort Oglethorpe at 7:30 o'clock this morning. S. H. McLean, district passenger agent, is looking to the comfort of the passengers on the trip. Approximately l.000 people were at the train for a parting word. ? Honest.
