Senate and House COnferees Unable to Agree on Selec-
 tive Draft Bill.
ROOSEVELT IS
 ONE CONTENTION
Amendment Inserted by Senate. tl- lowing Former President t0 Head Force of Volunteers. May Be Ac-
 cepted as Compromise Measure.

Washington, May 7--COntcrcnces on the war army bill in a four hour dis cussion today failed to reconcile the differences between the bills passed by the two houses, anG adjourned un- til tomorrow.
 A decided difference arose over the senate amendment which would per init Col. Roosevelt to take a force to France, and unless it is forced out the bill may have to go back to the two houses for action. Prohibition and the age limit are other points yet to be decided.
 Although there was talk of a com- promise by which the senate would get the Roosevelt amendment and the house it's age limit, it was said noth- ing tangible occurred in conference today to make this appear more than a possibility. All the senate confer ees agreed that tho house maximum IS too high and are loath to give in on this point, although all are anxious to support the senate and retain the Roosevelt amendment.
 Representative Dent and other house conferees, who were among the leading proponents of volunteers against the draft, have insisted in con- ference that the house having turned down the volunteer provision, they cannot pew support it in conference by accepting the Roosevelt amend ment.
 The senate conferees are opposed to the volunteer system. The senate itself, by large vote, inserted the Roosevelt amendment. The discus sion is expected to continue several days at least, before the conferees will despair of agreement and take the bill back to the two houses.

Nine Regiments of Railroad workers Will Be Enlisted Immediately.
voTJTNTEERS WILL
 RE ASKED AT ONCE
ro,one] of Each Regiment Will Be From Regular Army, But All Other Afficers and Members Will Be
 Trained Railroad Operators.

Washington, May 7.-Nine new regi-
 ments of army engineers. to be com-
 posed exclusively of highly trained
 railroad men, will be the first Ameri-
 can troops to go to France.
 They will go "at the earliest pos
 sible moment" the war department announced, for work on cOmmunica- | tion lines but speculation as to when i and to what points, is forbidden, be- cause of the submarine menace. The new forces will be volunteers, raised at nine great railway centers. Each will be commanded by an engi- neer colonel of the regular army. All the other officers will be railroad engineers or officials.
 The full strength will be 11,000 or 12,00O men, each regiment being of two battalions, of three companies each.
 Every branch of railroad work will be represented in the ranks and the war department expects so large re- sponse to the call that it will permit of careful inspection and insure a force trained to the minute, an army of experts in railway operations. Recruiting of the regiments and organization of each force will be \ directly under each colonel. The na- tional guard recruiting machinery will be placed at their service, and it is hoped the enrolment will take little time. The recruiting points will be New York Chicago, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit. Atlanta. San Fran cisco and Philadelphia.
 Officials believe the railroad brotherhoods will cooperate, throwing the strength of the unions behind the recruiting officers. The railways CO., operation is assured.
 Engineers and officials will be se- lected in such manner as not to crip- pie the operating forces of any one company. The decision to send the engineers is understood to have grown out of conferences here between gov ernment officials and the French and British missions.
 The commanders for the new regi- ments probably will be announced to- morrow, and the work of recruiting will start immediately. The men will carry usual equipment of engineers troops, rifle and bayonet. but real lighting will be done by handling trains to haul men, guns, food and shells to the firing line.

ON RATE INCREASE.

Washington, D. C., May With a view to determining whether the re- cent settlement of the railroad wage
 controversy, which it is estimated will add millions of dollars to the yearly
 payrolls of the companies, together with other conditions that have arisen
 during the past few months, warrant
 the general increase in freight rates for which application has been made by the railroads throughout the coun- try, series of public hearings was begun here today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Representa- tives of the shippers organization. it is understood, will be on hand to pro- test against any general increase in rates.

 FOR ANOTHER MOVE
Consolidating Positions Just Capturcd From Germans, While Artillery Continues Mighty Duel With Ger

Associated Press Summary)

tASSOclaIcu ffeSS summary
 The British and Germans through out Monday were still engaged in violent fighting for the town of Bulle- court, and also in this immediate sec tion at RoeuX, and between Fontaine and Reincourt.
 The British forces now are on the northern, western and eastern out skirts of Bullecourt, leaving only the southern part for the retreat of the Germans.
 Unofficial reports asserted the Brit ish entered well into the town and that hand to hand fighting is going on.
 North of this sector, the Germans report heavy British attacks at Roeux and between Fontaine and Reincourt were repulsed with sanguinary los ses, while still farther north, in the region of Lens, the British official communication records the repulse of German counter attacks on the newly acquired British position south of the river. British rifle and machine gun fire entirely wiped the German forces, while the supporting contingent was staggered under artillery fire and bar rage and was forced to give up its ef- forts.
 Monday saw no continuation of the heavy infantry fighting northeast of Soissons, in the region of Moulin de Laffoux and along the Chemis des Danes, altho the artillery continued roaring in mighty duel
 The French here everywhere are consolidating their gains and prepar- ing for fresh thrust against Ger man lines.
 The Berlin war office claims in Sun day nights fighting the Germans ob- tained local successes at numerous points, notably at Winterberg, the northern slope being recaptured and on the southern slope the French were forced to retreat.
 Greek troops, followers of former Premier Venezilos, in conjunction with French forces, have occupied Bull garian positions on a front of more than three miles, in the Serbian thea tre, and repulsed Bulgarian counter attacks.
 This announcement, made by Paris, is interesting, as it shows that fol- lowers of Venezelos are under arms with the entente force in Macedoine.
 For the first time in several months, German airplane dropped bombs on Paris. on the northeastern part of the city, killing one man and wounding a man and a woman.
