WASHINGTON. d. c.. May T.
Conferees on the war army bill in a
four-hour discussion to-day failed to
reconcile the differences between the
bill as it passed the two houses, and
adjourned until tomorrow. A decided
difference Of opinion arose over the
Senate amendment which would per-
NIT Colonel Roosevelt TO take an eX-
peditionary force to France, and un-
less it is smoothed out, the bill may
have to go back TO the two houses Tor
further action.
Other points of difference included
the prohibition amendment inserted
by the Senate and the age limits or
men subject to the selective draft.
The Senate bill fixes the limits be-
tween 21 and 81 and the House De-
tween 81 and 40.
Although there was talk tonight
of a compromise by which the Senate
would get the Roosevelt volunteer
amendment and the House age limits
as fixed in the bill. it was said there
was nothing tangible in to-day's con-
ferences TO make this appear more
than possibility.
All of the Senate conferees are con-
vinced that the House immune age
is too high, and would be loath. to
give in on this point although they
are all anxious to support the action
of the Senate and retain the Roose-
welt amendment.
Representative Dent and several
other House conferees were among
the leading proponents of the volun-
teer system as against the select1Ve
draft when the bill passed the House,
and they have insisted in conference
That the House. having turned down
the volunteer provision. they cannot
now support it in conference by ac-
cepting the Roosevelt amendment
The Senate conferees were opposed
to the volunteer provision, but the
Senate itself, by large vote, inserted
the Roosevelt amendment.
Discussion is expected to continue
for several days at least before the
conferees despair of an agreement an
take the bill back for further lnstruc-
tions.
