 WASHINGTON, April 30-Majoi
 L. B. B. Rees of the British flying corps, who single-handed, once routed a squadron of ten German raiders and one of the few Englishmen receiving both the Victoria cross and military cross, today described how the Brit ish and French are maintaining prac- tical control of the air on the West ern front
 The Allied operations are conducted almost entirely over the German lines but the Germans now cross the Allied lines rarely, the major said. The Ger mans have given up all attempts to guide their artillery by airplanes and seek only to smash Allied reconnais- sances over their own lines. British losses recently were as high as 30 ana 10 machines a day because of the chances taken. It is the majors opin- ion that the British defeat the Ger mans in every way in the air, the Zep- pelins practically being useless. The Germans made military observations by captive balloons short time ago but an Allied combined attack knock ed down every balloon from the North sea to Switzerland.

 WASHINGTON, April 30. - The army draft bill must be taken up in the senate tomorrow and passed again. An effort was made today to clear up the legislative tangle which Is delay ing reference of the measure to con- ference. There is little doubt 1t will again go through in the form as pass cd Saturday although Senator LaFol- lette and others may attempt to tack on amendments.
 President Wilson and Secretary Baker today took up differences be- tween the senate and the house army bills. The conference adjusting diff ferences between the two houses will be informed of where the administra- ton stands on disputed points.
 The age limits of 2l to ? fixed in the senate bill are preferred by the administration since they more nearly the desire of the war de- partment for age limits of from l9 to 5 years. The limit from 2l to 40, fixed by the house bill is unsatisfac- tory 10 the administration.
 A date for the registration of those liable to service will not be formally fixed by the president until the bill has been perfected in both houses. Until that time, no campaign will be to recruit the regular army and national guard up to full war strength.
