Methodist Episcopal church south; the
Methodist Protestant church, ana
other kindred Wesleyan bodies. This

The report embodied, without COM

by action of the conference today was
submitted to special committee, with
instructions TO report within ten
DAYS. This plan embodies "A unifica-

After series OF brilliantly fought

Washington, May 4--Conferces on
the army reorganization bill late to-
day disagreed on important features
of the measure and adjourned until
matters in disagreement can be taken
up in the house. The rocks on which
the committee broke were the federal
volunteer army and the $4,000, 900
government nitrate plant amendments
adopted by the senate.
Notwithstanding the disagreement,
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
senate conferees. said tonight he had
hopes that good bill eventually
would be worked out.
Some Progress Made.
Up to the time of the break, which
had been forecast. the conferees had
been making good progress on regu-
lar army reorganization and reserve
features. They had tentatively agreed
on a standing army In time OF peace
Of $50. 900 men, 10000 more than the
house bill carried. and an elastic or
ganization scheme contained in the
senate bill which would provide for
expansion in time OF war or threat
ened war to 100000 men. They also
agreed TO the house bin reorganiza-
ton plan for the national guard which
would provide for liberalization OF
this reserve force and its expansion
to approximately 100000 men.
Volunteer Plan Doomed.
Early in the day Representative
Hay. chairman of the house confer
ees, discussed the volunteer army
reserve section of the senate bill with
President Wilson. The prceident was
understood to favor it. although no
statement was made regarding the
conference. Representative Hay is siad
TO have told the president that the
house would not accept the volunteer
force.
National Guard Jealous.
Champions of the national guard
feared that the proposed new force
would operate to the disadvantage of
the guard, and there was strong oppo-
sition to the plan in both house and
senate. In the senate the volunteer
force won by majority Of only two
votes.
Representative Hay in his talk with
the president also discussed the nj
trate plant feature and the president
insisted that 1t should be left In the
bill.
Against Nitrate Plant.
IL the president continues to insist
on the nitrate plant provision. II was
declared, another clash between the
executive and the house will ersue.

against the nitrate provision, insisting
that II Is being urged by a water
