EMissouri's quota Of the first force
IS0f 100000 men to be raised by the
Eseiective draft system under the
Legislation now being enacted by
Congress will be 1880 men. In
addition, Missouri is being called
upon to raise 6,586 as it's quota of
the force of 183,898 needed on
April l to raise the regular army
Etp full war strength. Missouri
Ealso will raise 10000 men to

Etemplated by the Government
[and is expected to raise. 10 per
EDent Of the Marine Corps and 10
per cent OF the navy:
The plans of the War Depart
Iment contemplate the raising Of
about 100000 men in addition
/ to those in the regular army and
the National Guard. On the
basis of it's population as com
pared with the total population
Of the continental United States
In 1910, when the last Federal
census was taken, Missouri would
raise 3 1-2 per cent Of each armed
force raised by the Federal Gov
Lcrnment.
This is the relation that the
population Of Missouri which was
+3,293,335 in 1910, bore to the
population of the entire country,
which was 81, ,9s2,26G. On this
basis of arriving at the States

PASSED THE DRAFT BILL
Several Amendments Will Have
to be Strengthened Out in
Conference.

Washington, D. C.-By over
whelming majorities both the
Senate and House passed the ad-
ministration bill to raise war
army by selectiye draft late Sat-
urday night.
The final roll calls brought in
to line behind the bill many sem
ators and representatives who
had fought for the volunteer sys-
tenn until routed by decisive de-
feat earlier in the day in both
houses.
Speaker Clark, the Democratic
leader, Representative Kitchin,
and Chairman Dent of the mill
tary committee, who had favored
the volunteer system, all voted
for the Draft Bill on the final
roll call. Miss Rankin who said
recently that she knew of no
members who would vote for the
draft, also voted aye.
The Senate, which had voted
down the volunteer plan SO to 18,
passed the bill by vote of 81 to
8. In the House the vote against
the volunteer plan was 313 to
lO9, and that by which the bill
itself was passed, 397 to "a.
As passed by the Senate the
measure provides for the draft of
men between the ages of 81 and
II years, while in the House
measure the age limits are fixed
at 81 and 40. These and lesser
discrepancies will be threshed
out in conference early so that
the bill may be in the hands of
the President as quickly as pos
siblc. The War Department al
ready has completed plans for
carrying it into effect.
Both Senate and House adopt
ed amendments just before the
final roll calls which would great
ly increase the pay of enlisted
men during the war. The House
provision would make their pay
$50 a month, and that approved
by the Senate would fix it at 500
a month. The present pay is on
ly $15.
In the House at the last mo-
ment Chairman Fitzgerald Of the
appropriations committee object
ed vigorously to the appropria-
tiOn Of 8 billion dollars carried
in the bill for the expense of the
new army, and the section finally
was eliminated. Mr.. Fitzgerald
said that to place this vast sum
in the hands of the Secretary of
War would make of Congress a
mere antomaton, and promised
that if the section were voted
down the committee would pro-
vide funds promptly in a separ-
ate measure.
Just prior to voting the Senate
adopted an amendment by Sen
ator Stone emphasizing that the
draft was only to be employed
during the present war.

Armory Monday evening, April
30. The election in each instance
was unanimous.
The election which was held
under special order No. II Head.
quarters Second Regiment Mis-
souri, Infantry N. G., Pierce City,
Mo-, was presided over by Cap.
tain James f. Thompson, Mo. Q.
M. Corps, who read to tho mem
bcrs of the company A. G. O.
special order No. 8 accepting the
resignation Of Captain Ed S
Clarke and Lieutenants Brooks
and Ellis and placing Captain
Clarke OH the. retired list he he
ing eligible thereto on account OF
his long service. ~
Nominations for captain were
then called for and George l..
Caruthers was placed in nomina-
ton. No other nominations were
offered and the entire vote of the
company was east for Mr.. Car
uthers.
Leslie R, Choate was placed in
nomination for First Lieutenant
and. William O. jackson for See
ond Lieutenant and both were
elected unanimously.
Following the election Captain
Caruthers made a brief talk to
the company, thanking the men,
bers for the confidence in his
ability expressed by their vote
and assured them of his determi-
nation to do his utmost to estab-
lish and maintain high standard
of efficiency in the company.
The selection of Captain Car
uthers for the command Of B
company is wise one. Since
1897 his service with the Nation
al Guard and the regular army
has been almost continuous. He
is a Butler boy and was educated
in the public schools of this city,
graduating from the Butler High
School in 1897. He enlisted in
Company B in July 1897 and was
a member of Company B Second
Mo. Volunteers during the Span
ish-American war, 1885, He
served as First Sergeant of Co.
B from March 1899 to June 13,
1901, when he was promoted to
the Second LieutenaHcy of the
company, serving in that capacity
until August s, 1901, when he re-
signed to enlist i'm the regular
army. Almost Immediately after
his enlistment in the regulars he
was made a Sergeant and rapidly
rose to ranking duty sergeant.
During his enlistment in the
army he saw service in the Phil
ippine Islands and in Alaska. He
again enlisted in Co. B in May
1912. and the following August
was promoted to the First Lieu
tenancy, serving until December,
u, 1918, when he resigned. Cap
tain Caruthers is by education,
and instinct, a soldier
md will prove to be one of the |
most competent officers in the

Troops 70 Go When Allisz Deem
it Wise to Divert Necessary / n
Shipping for Transpor-
tation.

Washington, May The Unit
ed States stands ready to send az
army to Europe whenever the d.
lies deem it wise to divert the nee.
essary shipping from transports
ing food to transporting men.
1t became known definitely to-
day that the government has Of
fered the allies troops, but has
suggested that the alarming
shortage Of world shipping may
make it impracticable to send
them at once. In spite of objec-
tions of the general staff to put
ting any American forces on the
firing line before the great war
army has been raised and trained,
the administration has determine
ed that the small contingent earn
estly desired by France for moral
effect shall be sent as soon as pos
sible. The general belief here is
that the way soon will be found.
Whether the force first to, car
ry the Stars and Stripes into bat
tie in France shall be made up Of
regulars or national guardsinen,
or both, has not been worked out.
The subject was not discussed at
today's cabinet meeting, but Sec
retary Baker remained afterward
for a conference with President
Wilson. !,
State department officers have
continuously urged the sending
Of an army, solely for the psyche
logical effect, if not only IN en-
couraging the allied troops but in
discouraging the Germans. Con-
vinced that the diplomatic adj
vantages far outweighed the tech
meal and training difficulties adj
vanced by the general staff, they
have felt that such a step would
consecrate the United States to
a full member Of the alliance, en-
titled to most honorable seat at
the peace conference.
The amount of tonnage that
would be required for transport
is usually put at about twenty
tons per man in fully equipped
force. For the regular American
unit Of $4,000 men, nearly 100000
tons, therefore, would be neces-
sary or ships about equal to the
seized German tonnage in Ameri
can waters. 1t remains for the
allies to figure out if they can
afford to divert that amount of
shipping.
Little doubt exists that the
French will gladly put up with
any sacrifice necessary to have
American troops in France. The
British also were known to be
anxious to have American troops
in France as a final earnest of
American participation, but there
is reason to believe that they
have taken somewhat more de-
tached view than the French.
With their responsibility for tom
mage, their decision about the ad-
visibility of sending an expedi-
tionary force is uncertain.
