UPHELD BY THE SENATE
Presidents Plan for Raising Army
Expected to Prevail in End.

Bv vote of 13 to 8 the House
Military Committee yesterday after
noon turned down President wilson's
plan for raising an army by selectlve
draft and decided to report to the
House bill directing the President
to call for volunteers.
Under the provisions of the bill
as agreed upon by the committee the
President is authorized to call for
100000 volunteers, in two install
ments of 100000 each, but is empow-
cred, if he finds the second install
ment cannot be secured by the volun-
teer system, to raise it by selective
draft
Meanwhile, the Army bill, includ-
ing the conscription provision, was
approved by the Senate Military
Committee, 10 to 7.
The President told Senators there
that he would consent to no compro-
mise. because the War Department
experts after careful examination and
discussion had decided that selective
conscr;ption was the only effective
way of raising a strong army.
The Administration expects the
Army bill to be made the unfinished
business Of the Senate so that it
can be pushed to passage promptly.
Then, with the prestige Of having
passed the Senate, the measure Is
expected to receive more prompt and
favorable consideration in the House.
The President was assured that
the majority of Republicans in the
House were supporting his plans.

DRIVING TEUTONS BACK
Sanguinary Losses Inflicted Upon
Germans in Violent Fighting-l7,-
600 Taken Prisoners.

The great offensive of the French
army against the Germans from the
bend in the line in France from SoIs-
sons eastward into the Champagne
continues unabated. Numerous news
points of vantage have been taken,
prisoners and guns captured and VIC
lent counter attacks put down with
heavy casualties. In three days OF
fighting more than 1000 unwound-
ed prisoners have fallen into the
hands of the French, together with
Is cannon.
IN yesterdays battle in the for
est Of Ville-au-Bois an enveloping
movement was carried out against
the Germans and 1900 Of them threw
down their arms and surrendered. in
addition $50 machine guns were cap
tured there.
Between scissors and Rheims the
villages of Ostel and Braye-en-Laon-
nois were captured, together with the
territory about them, the Germans in
the latter region retreating IN disor-
der and losing to one French reel
ment alone 300 prisoners, belonging
to seven different regiments. In their
fight the Germans left behind much
war material. Here the French cap
tured 10 cannon.

Americans Counting On Argentina
And Brazil to Aid.
American navy, officials are count
ing on the possibility Of fleet co-ope-
ration with Brazil and Argentina,
should these countries finally cast OFF
German ties.
Active participation of the two ma
vies against Germany, officials point
ed out today, would be of real value
to this country. in at least two ways.
Assumption of the patrol Of the
South and Central American coasts
to ferret out submarine bases
would release just so much of the
American fleet engaged in this work.
Moreover, the South Atlantic has
been a favorite pasture for Goth
raiders. Protection of American
coastwise shipping, it was said, would
be of greatest assistance.
Above all this, the moral effect
upon Germany. and upon other South
American republics, some of which
are believed to incline to Germanism,
it is thought, would carry a real
"punch" to the enemy and consolidate
the Latin American sympathies.
