V Roosevelt's proposed vollunteel divis- C ion for service in France, wrilten into the bill by file Senate and defended 41 stubbornly by tile Senate conferees, tI finally was thrown out oi tile in- c sistence of (o'1mmltieilemen representing li Ile llouse. In relirl the Ilouse yield- I ed to the Senate's proposal for pro hIlbition at military posts. t The Conference report Is expected V to be given approval by), both Senate and IIouse within a few days and b within two weeks after the President I has aflixed his signature registration a of those eligible for conscription will v be under way throughout the country. 0 Some States already have selected their registration boards and the War t Department has crected a vast and in- 0 tricate war machine for assigning and 1 organizing the conscripts. They will t be assembled at training camps in a September. t The compromise bill I understood to be generally satisfactory to the administration and to the army gen eral staff, on whose advice the orig- F Inal measure was framed. The most t Important change made in Congress c was in the age limits, lixed by the staff at 19 to 25, inclusive. The Sen- t ate made them 21 and 27 and the le House 21 and 40. The ages named in the conference agreement are 21 and 30 inclusive, making the draft appli cable to all male voters under 31. 1 Although there has been no direct aulthoritative expression from the White House regarding the Roosevelt volunteer proposal, administration op position to it has been inferred from the fact that no provision for voluan teers was contained In the bill as sent to Congress from the War Department. With the Iloosevelt proposal tile con ferees also threw out a similar amend- t; ment under which three regiments 1 of volunteers could have been enlisted t for service on the 'Mexlean border. 0 (l'he sediIon dealing w'ithi exemp- t lions from drn'aft Iw'as r'ewritItell in part ' by the confernce'~l' comm1 IIitt ee and pr to visIon was miade I'm' hearings in ex - emnption applientions~ before local "ivil Itributnals, ith th le r'ight of appeal to a sleconld tribnial andt finlally to 1the TPwo of th IlIlouse c'onfer'ees refusead to .Ign Ithe con feiree report.
