WAR ARMY MEASURE
HAS RIGHT Of WAY.
No Other Legislation to In
terrupt Debate Which
Starts Today.

Washington April 22.-The admin
debate in both houses of congress to-
morrow with right of way over all
other legislation until passed.
Interest centers upon the house
where there is to be Il great fight be
tween the spokesman for President
Wilson and the majority of the mill
tary committee over the selcctive draft
plan. A vote may be reached Wcdnes
day. In the senate debate began yes
terday and probably will continue for
several days, but it is regarded as n
foregone conclusion that the measure
as drawn by the general staff and APP
proved by the president will be passed
there by a substantial majority.
Chairman Dent of the house mill
tary committee and nine other com
mittecmen will make the fight for the
bill as reported by them which pro-
poses that the army shall be raised by
calls for volunteers in incrcments of
100000 and that Tia" draft shall be
resortcd to only unless that system
has failed. Administration supporters
maintained tonight that they would
override Chairman Dents volunteer
plan by from 20 to - votes at the very
least.
Advocates Of Ill" volunteer system
felt sure it was declared that they
would make II good showing. Having
the chairman Of tn" committee will
them, they believed would carry
weight and they also hoped that ful
| explanation of their plan on the floor
| would attract support
| Particular interest attaches to the
| debate because REPRESENTATIVE Kahn

president and committee Chairm"i

tion. Representative Kahn has bc"l

BIG BATTLE BREWS
ON FRENCH FRONT
Sunday Calm Except for Ar
tillery Activity.
IBy Associated Press,)

Apparently a big battle is brewing
British guns are again hammering the
German lines. Except for this artillery
activity and small gains southeast of
Loos and between Arras and st.
Quentin in the region of the Havrin-
court road, Sunday passed with COM
parativc calm.
Likewise on that part of the front
held by the French. artillery duels
prcdominatcd, being intense between
the Somme and the Disc. In Cham
pagne the Germans launched several
attacks on the heights in the Maassif
of Moronvilliars and against Mont
Haut. which were repulscd with heavy
casualties.
Berlin reports that near Braye and
the Hurtebise farm and on the
Rheims Neufchatel road north of
Prosnes and also on the western bank
of the Suippes river the French at
tacks Saturday suffered heavy losses.
Nothing fresh has come through
concerning the operations on the east
crn front in Russia, GaliCia and Ru-
mania. In the Austro-I Italian thcatcr
the commandments have again become
intense. Considerable fighting has
taken place in Macedonia in the Ccrna
river bend and southwest of Lake
Doiran, but no important changes in
position have taken place.

owing to the German practice o
sinking hospital ships at sight and t.
the fact that distin ctive marking ant
lighting of such vessels render then
more conspicuous targets for German
submarines, it has become no longe
possible to distinguish our hospita
ships in the customary manner. ON
