HOPE OF AGREEMENT ON ARMY BILL NOW
 IS MUCH BRIGHTER
Senate Conferees Agree to Yield on Question of Size and House Will
 Accept Expansion Plan

Washington, May 1.-Hope for an agree ment in conference on the army reorgani- zation bill seemed brighter tonight after an all day session of the conference committee in which basis for negotia- tion of differences between the Senate and House on the regular army was reached.
 Senate conferees agreed to yield on the proposed standing army of 25o,oo0 men and and to accept peace strength of 1so,- GOO men, provided the House would accept the expansion system of organization in the Senate bill. Under this system the regular army could be increased in time of conflict to 22O,O00 or more. House con ferees tentatively agreed to this proposi- ton upon which to base agreements as to detail organization of units and other features of the measure. The Chamber lain bill before it was amended in the Senate, placed the maximum strength of the regular army at about 1So,0O0 men, whereas the House bill left it at 140,- GOO.
 Although the conferees are exerting every possible effort to reach complete agreement, some of them fear that all disputed points cannot be worked out without referring some points back to the Senate and House for further instruc- tions. Senate conferees still are holding out for the federal volunteer army, as we'll as their proposed system of federali- zation of the National Guard, but the House leaders insist that they eventually 4I.1 II unteer army and retain the House Ma tional Guard provisions.

Massed. Attacks Repulsed by French Around Dead Mans Hill-Aus-
 trians Retire Before Russians

The repulse by the French of powerful German attacks around Dead Man Hill and of counter attacks to the north of Cumeres, has again been followed by a heavy German bombardment of these sec tors and a continuation of the smelling of Cote du Poivre and Douaumont, north east of the fortress. No fresh infantry attacks have been launched by the Ger mans.

Washington, May 1,-President Will son has not altered his purpose to Keep American troops in Mexico until brigandage has come to an end.
 After conference at the White House today Secretary Baker prepared further instructions for Generals Scott and Funston, sought by the officers as a result of their conference with General obregon. Carranza's war min ister. The message went forward to- night Its contents were not revealed but both Secretaries Lansing and Ba- ker said there had been no change in the administration's policy.
 It is believed the American con- ferees sought additional instructions because General ObregonX dwelt upon the view of the de facto government that the American expedition should be withdrawn at once. As General Scott had no power to discuss this matter. he presented what the Mex ican war minister had to say to wash ington.

PARLIAMENT WILL BE
 LIVELY THIS WEEK
Resignation of Augustine Birrell Is Predicted-T0wnshend and Irish Revolt Will Be Criticized

London, May 1.-The next few days ses- sions of Parliament. it is expected, will be as interesting as any since the war began. The government must attempt to pass legislation for recruiting, which sion for all, with an interval for further voluntary enlistment.
 The rebellion in Ireland and the inn possible task imposed upon Major Gen. eral Townshend in Mesopotamia are like ly to be the subjects of harsh criticisms. General Townshend's surrender at Kut- el-Amara is the bitterest blow to British pride since the death of Gordon at Khar- tum.
 A majority of the newspapers hold tho government responsible for the Irish out break, while the opposition papers at tribute to civilian mismanagement the disaster to the army at kut-el-Amara Others contend that the expedition was justified by its work in holding q large Turkish army around Bagdad during the winter, which otherwise might have par tcipated in an attack on Egypt. They also consider the position of the Turks dangerous because of the possibility of their being caught between the Russians from the north and Persia and Lieutenant General Gorringe's relieving force, which is far from negligible factor.
 In ordinary times, either Premier Asquith's withdrawal of the recruiting bill last week in the face of a hostile House Augustine Birrells management of Irish affairs, or the loss of General Townshend's division propably would create an immediate crisis. possibly re sulting in a vote of want of confidence in the government But the fact that thA present cabinet includes the leaders of three parties and that no alternative which has been suggested commands any strong support will serve to keep the government going. MT, Birrells resigna- tion, however would cause no surprise.
