DRAFT VOTED
BY CONGRESS
APPROVE PRESIDENTS PROGRAM
TO RAISE LARGE ARMIES BY
SELEcTIVE CONSUMPTION.
Measure Provides for the Drafting SQf
Men to Raise Suitable Army TO
Prosecute to Successful Conclu-
sion the War with Germany.

Washington.-The administrations
program to raise an adequate army by
selective CONSUMPTION was approved on
April 2S the senate and the house by
overwhelming majorities passing the
Bill to raise a war army by selective
draft.
The final rollcalls brought into line
behind the bill many senators and
representatives who had fought for
the volunteer system until routed by
decisive defeat of volunteer amend
ments earlier in the day in both houses.
The senate, which had voted down the
volunteer plan, 60 to Is, passed the
bill by a vote of 81 to s. In the house
the vote against the volunteer plan was
313 to 100, and that by which the bill
itself was passed was 397 to "a.
AS passed by the senate the meas
ure provides for the draft of men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81 years,
while in the house measure the age
limits are fixed at 81 and 40. This
and lesser discrepancies will be
threshed out in conference during the
week so that the bill may be in the
hands of the president as quickly as
possible. The war department already
has completed plans for carrying it
into effect.
Senators who voted against the bill
We're: Democrats: Gore, Hardwick,
Kirby Thomas and Tramell-5; Re-
publicans: Borah, Gronna and La Fol
lette-3. Total s.
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi,
Democrat, was excused from voting at
his own request. He did not give
reason.
The twenty-fOur representatives who
voted in the negative we're:
Democrats: Burnett, Church, Clark
of Florida; Claypool, Grosser, Dill,
Dominick, Gordon, Hillyard, Huddle-
ston, Heating, Sears, Sherwood, Sis
sonia, Republicans: Bacon, Hayes,
King, La Toilette, Lundsen of Mime
sofa; Mason, Nolan, Powers-S. Pro-
Randall. Socialist:
London. Total "a.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
and Chairman Dent of the
he volunteer system, all voted for the
iraft bill on the final roll call. Re
publican Leader Mann also was re-
'orded in the affirmative, as was Miss
tankin, who previously had voted with
he volunteer advocates.
Both senate and house adopted
amendments just before the final roll
alls, which would greatly increase the
ay of enlisted men during the war.
The house provision would make their
ay $50 month, and that approved by
he senate would fix it at 500 a month.
he present pay Is only SIS.
Among the amendments adopted in
he senate was one which would per-
lit Colonel Roosevelt to recruit
olunteer force for service in France.
similar proposal had been rejected
V the house.
Among the more important amend
tents adopted in the house was one
the president to exempt
'om the draft in his discretion per-
ons engaged in agricultural work.
