Washin gton. May 10.-CCnferees OF
the house and senate on TIE army bill
agreed upon provision to increase
the pay of enlisted men to $25 a
month. The provision also increases
the pay of other grades below com
missioned officers
The c0nferecs again sought to com
promise heir Differences over whether
Colonel Roosevelt shall be permitted
to raise a volunteer force TO-" service
in France. SO far as announced nc
agreement was reached.
This obstacle to agreement Is an
amendment added to the bill by the
senate
The only hope held out for a com
promise is said to be based on the
chance that the senate may recede
from its position. In that case. it is
said, the house confereas may acccpi
the senate amendment fixing the age
limit of those subject to selective draft
at from twenty to twenty,seven
years. The house draft places the age
limits from twenty-One to forty years
Failure to reach an agreement may

called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender. aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without

This drug is sticky, but dries at

irritating the surrounding tissue.

tremendous drive, in an effort to stem
the tide of British victory, speedily
spent it's force.
All his lavish expenditure of men
and material, apparently, has been
wasted, for the British have regained
most of the ground lost in the vicinity
of Fresnoy. The Germans still are
clinging to the village itself, but their
hold upon it is so insecure that its
recapture and the entire restoration
of the British position appear immi-
nent.
It is a vital necessity for the Ger
mans to hold fast there, if they are
not speedily to lose Lens and its valu-
able coal fields, and find their whole
line in the northern sector of the
Franco-Belgian front imperilled. Even
more urgently necessary is it for them
to hold the French around the great
bend In the line northeast of Scissors.

considered by some military critics the
key to the entire German position in
northern France is the French objec-
tive.
North of Fresnoy the enemy was
seen to be concentrating fer further
attacks, but the British artillery came
into play and dispersed all the hostile
forces.
The Germans are not yet through

vrelle Under cover Of a very heavy
bombardment. they assaulted the Ga
vreNe windmill and an outpost Of the
village which already had changed
hands about ten times. The attack was
broken quickly by artillery and ma
