CONFEREES SPLIT ON
REORGANIZATION PLAN

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal WirelessD
WASHINGTON, May 5-Split on the
question of the volunteer army feature
of the increased army bills, and the
provision for the appropriation of $l5,-
100000 for the construction of a plant
for extracting nitrate from the atmos
phere, the house and senate conferees
yesterday decided to disagree and ad
jOurn until such time as the house shall
have had an opportunity to take up
the questions over which the confer.
ence has disagreed.
Chairman Hay of the house commit
tee on military affairs spent some time
in conference with President Wilson
yesterday, discussing the deadlock of
the conferees on the army reorganiza
tion bill. He told the President that
he believed the conferees had not
reached an agreement upon the volun-
teer army clause, the conferees from
the senate urging it's adoption, while
the house representatives oppose the
idea.
1t was declared that President Viii
son still is in favor of the senate plan.

President Firm
For Compliance

The news that President Wilson
after a cabinet conference yester-
day afternoon, at which the most
recent dispatches from Berlin were
thoroughly discussed, had reassert-
ed his determination not to be mov-
ed from his present stand, which, it
was pointed out, had been taken
only after careful and mature
thought and added that he would
not argue" regarding the demands
he has sent to Germany.
In official circles it was asserted
that the time for argument had pas
Sed, and that nothing remained
for the United States save firm ad-
herence to the demands made upon
Germany.

In the meantime, Ger
many kept up her attacks upon un-

many without warning, until the
torpedoing of the Channel ferry
steamer Sussex, with Americans on
board, brought about the present
crisis, and became the main theme
of President Wilson's last note.

That statement outlined the Ger
man submarine policy. In brief.
it asserted : that the British and
French governments had issued Sc
cret Instructions to the commanders
of armed merchant vessels to at
tack German submarines, whenever
possible, and that in view of this
action on the part of the Entente
Allies, Germany felt herself freed
of the restrictions imposed upon
submarine warfare by international
law, and would consider all armed
merchantmen as auxiliary cruisers.
