Reach Agreement on the

REJECT THE ROOSEVELT PLAN
Proposals for Volunteer Division to
Serve in France Eliminated
Expect Approval of Report.

Washington, May 1.-THE long
deadlock of Senate and House con-
ferees on the selective draft military
bill was broken today with an agree
ment on a compromise measure under
raised by selective CONSUMPTION of
men between the ages of 81 and 81.
Authorization for recruiting Colonel
Roosevelt's proposed volunteer divis-
ion for service in France written into
the bill by the Senate and defended
stubbornly by the Senate conferees,
finally was thrown out on the insist
ence of committeeman representing
the house. In return the House yield
ed to the Senate's proposal for pro-
hibition at military posts
Expect Approval.
The conference report is expected
to receive approval of both Senate and
House in a few days, and within two
weeks after the President has affixed
his signature registration of those elig-
ible for CONSUMPTION will be under
way throughout the country. Some

Against Volunteers.
Although there has been no direct
authoritative 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 voIun-
teers was contained in the bill as sent
to Congress from the war department.
With the Roosevelt proposal, the con
ferees also threw out Senate amend
ment under which three regiments of
volunteers could have been enlisted
for service on the Mexican border.
The compromise bill is understood
to be generally satisfactory to the adj
ministration and to the army general
staff on whose advice the original
measure was framed. The most i'm
portant change made in Congress was
in the age limits, fixed by the staff at
10 and 25 inclusive. The Senate made
them 81 and q and the house 81 and
40. The ages named in the confer
ence agreement are 81 and so inclu-
sive, making the draft applicable to
all male voters under 81.
