bill was broken today witi agreements

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
