Senators Favor conseription, But
House Members oppose Measure

Washington, April 20.-In anticipa-
ton OF action by Congress on the Sc.
lective CONSUMPTION bill, the War De-
partment had nearly completed plans
to have the first levy Of 100000 men
in training camps by Aug. /. The
first levy will be selected by lot.
Under personal pressure from the
President. who made hurried trip to
the Capitol to urge speedy action. the
Senate committee quickly reported
out the Administrations measure with
promise of immediate Senate action.
Several committee members who still
favor the volunteer system, however.
declared their intention to fight to
the last on the Senate floor.
The seven committee senators IA
voring the volunteer plan against the
draft feature were Mcclellan New,
Reed. Kirby, Sutherland. Hitchcock.
and Thomas of Colorado.
In the meantime, House opposition
to selective or any kind of conscrip-
tion-until volunteering is first tried
which had appeared to crumble
somewhat over night. sprung up again.
After the military committee voted
against trying out a measure that
would empower the President to put
into effect his selective CONSUMPTION
system. the committee appointed q
subcommittee to draft q substitute
measure with volunteer features.
The House committees action was
straight-out decision for the princi'
pie of volunteer system first Of all
applying both as to filling up the
rnnks Of the regular army, the Ma
tional Guard. and the raising of the
new army. But when the volunteer
system fails to provide sufficient
numbers of men the President would
have authority to resort at once te
selective CONSUMPTION.
While House members were plan

ally with the arrival in Washington
Sunday Of the British Commission Of
twenty members headed by the Right
Honorable Arthur J. Balfour, for q
series OF war conferences with the
American government. IT becomes
known that President Wilson intends
to offer voluntarily his assurances
that the United States will make nc
separate peace with Germany. The
President will state to Mr.. BaIfour
that the United States intends to
fight until II achieves these three oh.
jects:
The recognition Of the rights OF
Americans on the high seas;
The destruction Of the Prussian au
tocracy, deemed a menace to demo
cratic government and the permanent
peace OF the world;
The security Of the United States
and from the plots Of imperial az
tack from the German government
and from the plats OF imperial az
grandizement engineered by Berlin.
Arthur James Balfour, secretary OF
state for foreign affairs of the empire
formerly premier, and often called the
dean of the worlds elder statesmen
was the central figure Of a party tina;
included some Of Great Britain's most
prominent men.
With genial smile playing over
his features, he consented to brief
interview, warmly expressing his ap
probation of all the United States
has done as a neutral in charitable
and relief work in Belgium and in
German prison camps, his qualification
that England and the United States
now were allied for a common pur
pose, and his conviction that this
country in its war efforts would as
found the world, particularly Ger
many.
The object OF the commission, Mr.
Balfour said. was ito make co-operat
ton easy and effective between those
who are striving with all their power
to bring about a lasting peace by the
only means that can secure it-name
| ly, successful war.
your President, in a most apt and
vivid phrase" Mr.. Balfour added, has
proclaimed that the world must be
made safe for democracy; that self
governing communities are not to be
treated as negligible simply because
they are small; that the ruthless
domination Of one unscrupulous
power imperils the future of civiliza
ton andthe liberties of mankind are
truths Of political ethics which the
bitter experience Of war is burning
into the souls of all freedom-lovint
