Whether Congress t1nally would
accept the stats recommendation
regarding the ages between which
conscription would apply appeared
more uncertain. In the Senate the
bills stipulation that men between
10 and 25 should be liable to the
draft was changed to make the
minimum 81 and the maximum 81.
The House voted down all propos-
ed changes in the Military Commit
tees recommendation that the lin
its be fixed at 81 and 40.
These and a number of lesser
amendments will be considered as
speedily as possible in conference
in the hope that the measure may
be sent to the President FOR his
signature by the middle of the week.
Among the more important amend
ments adopted in the House was
one empowering the President, to
exempt from the draft in his discre-
work. Another would require each
ton persons engaged in agricultural
State to furnish quota of men
apportiOned according to population,
and still another provides that "no
bounty shall be paid to induce any
person to enlist" and that "no
person liable to military service
shall hereafter be permitted or al
lowed to furnish a substitute for
such service"
In the Senate there was a long
debate over proposals to prohibit
the sale or possession of intoxicat-
ing liquor during the war. Several
amendments were adopted, includ-
ing one to make it unlawful to sell
or give liaunr TO officers or men in
uniform or to members of Congress
or other officials, and then the SEN
ate reversed itself and adopted
substitute simply forbidding sale
Of liquor to soldiers in uniform and
giving the President wide discre-
tionary authority to make other
prohibition regulations. In the
House a similar amendment was re-
iected on a point of order.
KENTUCKIANS FOR DRAFT
Kentucky gave majority in
favor of the volunteer system. Six
members of the delegation voted
against selective service. The vote
follows:
For Selective Service - Sherley,
Cantrill, Rouse, Barley and Kinche-
loe, all Democrats.
For Volunteers - Fields, Helm,
Thomas and johnson, Democrats;
Langley and Powers, Republicans.
On the final passage of the bill
all voted for the bill.

To Whom It May Concern:
There are certain able-bodied
persons in this city, both of
the white and the negro races,
who are habitual loafers. This
is to notify you that unless you

bee have been instructed to ar
rest and vigorously prosecute
all persons guilty of vagrancy.
An inspection will also be made

sons who are not engaged in
some lawful pursuit or work,
and immediate steps taken
whereby such persons who are
unemployed and do not desire
to work may be engaged by the
city through the efforts of the
police to be compelled to work
for the city without pay. To
those to whom this notice ap-
plies, and as before stated they
are both of the white and negro
races, this is intended as a first,
last and only warning. SO get
busy and go to work.
