 WASHINGTON. May 12.-The way was cleared in congress today for Col onel Roosevelt, if he is given authoriza ton by the administration to raise q division of volunteers for service in France.
 Reversing its previous action and everything the conference committee on the army draft bill the house voted 2lo to IFS to empower the president to extend authority for recruiting such division. This sent the army bill back to conference but the senate already had adopted similar authoriza- ton during original consideration of the measures and its conferees are ex- pected to agree quickly to it now.
 Whether the necessary authority will be given Colonel Roosevelt by the ad- mlnistration is mathematical The arr my general staff, whose advice Pres ident Wilson has followed closely in the conduct of the war. is strongly op- posed to such a plan, declaring voltn- teer units of that character have no place in the great war army.
 The house voted the authorization after stormy debate. Representative Anthony led the fight for the colonel moving to commit the army bill to conference with instructions to accept l the senate's Roosevelt amendment 1 Chairman Dent of the military commit I tee and many other democrats and re- publieans fought against the proposal

The president spoke as follows:
 Tt gives me very deep gratifica- tion as the titular head of the American Red Cross to accept in the name of that association this significant and beautiful gift the gift of the govern ment and of private individuals w1o have conceived their duty in a noble spirit and upon great scale. It is sig nificant that it should be dedicated to the women who served to alleviate suffering and comfort those who were in need during our civil war because their thoughtful, disinterested, self sacrificing devotion is the spirit which should always illustrate the services of the Red Cross.
 The Red Cross needs at this time more than it ever needed before, the comprehending support of the Amer ican people and all the facilities which could be placed at its disposal to per form its duties adequately and effici- ently.
 T believe that the American people perhaps hardly vet realize the sacri- fices and sufferings that are before them. We thought the scale of our civil war was unprecedented, but in comparison with the struggle into which we have now entered, the civil war seems almost insignificant in it's proportions and in it's expenditure Of treasure and of blood And, therefore. it is matter of greatest importance that we should at the outset see to it that American Red Cross is equipped and prepared for the things that lie before it. It will be our instrument to do the works of alleviation and of mercy which will attend this strug gle. Of course, the scale upon which ! it shall act will be greater than the scale of any other duty that it has ever attempted to perform.
 1 Tt is in recognition of that fact that the American Red Cross has just ad ded to it's organization a small body of men whom it has chosen to call it's war council. Their first duty will be to raise a great fund out of which to draw 1 the resources for the performance of ! their duty and I don't believe that it will be necessary to appeal to the American people to respond to their call for funds because the heart of this country is in this war, and if the heart of the country is in the war, it's heart will express itself in the gifts that will
 be poured out for these humane pur- poses.

 this war because it would not have | SDiie AAAeo it Il lto liedil ii.tu iOl Dtch

 T am deeply grateful at what the house has done," Colonel Roosevelt said. T feel they have taken a step which is eminently wise and patriotic toward enabling us to utilize an ele- ment in the country we would other wise not utilize at all. This will enable a mixed force of regulars and volun- teers to be put to the front during the time necessary for training the great army raised under the selective draft"

 South of the Cojeul river in the neighborhood of Bullecourt the British materially extended their holdings in the HndenburS line, and tonight Bullecourt is all but surrounded by the British lines which includes the Aus traiians. t is believed that the num- Der of prisoners in these actions will total more than 600.
