SENATE REPASSES BILL.
on Army Draft Won't
Begin for Several Days.

Washington, May 1.-Conferences
on the war army bill, passed for a
second time by the senate today
probably will not begin for several
days. Conferees of the senate and
house will meet tomorrow, but they
also have the task of smoothing away
differences over the annual army ap-
preparation bill and they will take
up that task first.
There are not many points of dis
agreement in the appropriation bill
and leaders hope to see both meas
ures completed in time 20 have Presi-
dent Wilson attach his signature dur
ing the present week.
To Clear Up Tangles.
The senate passed the war army
bill again today to clear up parlia-
mentary tangles without any pro-
longed discussion and without any
serious effort to revive the strug'
giles over the volunteer system as op-
posed to the selective draft feature
which consumed most of the time in
last weeks debate. Senator La Fol
lette spoke in support of substitute
with referendum on raising an
army by draft to send to Europe, but
it was defeated 6S to 4.
Points of Difference.
Principal points of difference be-
tween the house include the so-called
Roosevelt volunteer amendment in
the senate bill: the difference in the
ages subject to selective draft, the
senate bill specifying those between
p to 81 and the house 21 to 40,
and the senate bills army prohi-
bition section.
A compromise is expected on the
age limits possibly fixing the mini
mum at p and the maximum at 35.
The house of representatives prob
ably never will accept the Roosevelt
amendment, which will permit the
former president to raise four in
fantry divisions for duty on foreign
soil.

TO SEND ARMY.
EXpeditionary Will Go to Europe as
Soon as Allies Can Spare Ships.

Washington, May 1.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
1t became known definitely today
that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage of world ship
ping may make it impractical to
send them at once. In spite OF OBJ
jections of the general staff to put
ting any American force on the firing
line before the great war army has
been raised and trained, the adminis-
tration has determined that the small
contingent earnestly desired by
France for moral effect shall be sent
as soon as possible The general be-
lief here is that the way soon will
be found.
Composition of Army.
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in
France shall be made up of regulars
or National Guardsmen, or both, has
not been worked out. The subject
was not discussed at today's cabinet
meeting, but Secretary Baker re-
mained afterward for a conference
with President Wilson.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops in
France, as the great plea of their
mission has been for troops with the
American flag. They have pointed
out that this is needed to convince
the Germans beyond a doubt that all
Americas resources have been
thrown into the battle.
British Anxious Too.
Inc BrltlSn also are KNOWN 10 De
anxious to have American troops in
France as a final earnest of Ameri-
can participation, but there is reason
to believe that they have taken a
somewhat more detached view than
the French. Overcome by the whole
heartedness of American cooperation
in the war, they believe that the one
essential is to marshal the common
resources to the greatest advantage.
With the responsibility for tonnage
their decision about the advisability
of sending an expeditionary force is
uncertain.

PRAYER FINISHED BY KING.
Ruler of Belgians Helped Children
Over "Rough Places"

London, March 3l.-A dozen chill

mes, Belgium, where heaps of bat

shell-smashed crucifix at the cross
roads knelt to say their prayers. A
Belgian officer without any insignia
of rank stood near, absorbed in iden-
tifying the detonation of the dis
tant German guns. The children
said their prayer as far as Forgive
US our trespasses as + =" Then
there was silence, for they could say
no more. The Belgian officer con-
cluded the petition. Forgive us our
trespasses as We forgive them that
trespass against us" The Belgian
officer was Albert, the king.

Slyvanus Rast, of North, Orange

Opening Siberia's Door.

Whether the number of eXiles re-
turning home from the Siberian con-
vict settlements is 100000, it is un-
doubtedly the largest Jail delivery
since Moses million or so. When it
is remembered that there have been
years when 10000 persons went Tn-
voluntarily to Siberia the figures OF
those now freed do not appear i'm
possible.
Not all the exiles will go home.
Some of those whose sentence was
to residence in exile, not to prison
and torture, undoubtedly have form
ed liking for land fair enough
in itself-it has been called the en-
pire's Ell Dorado-and with the re-
forms promised for all of Russia ST.
IBERIA is not in prospect bad place
to live. The very report that, since
the release of huge stores of pro-
visions, meat is selling there for a
cent a pound may cause New York
ers to wish that they had been wise
enough to commit some minor Of
fence against the autocracy.
But those who were in the prisons
and the mines and who are Fastening
back to their old surroundings in the
west-what of them? 1t is more
than possible that the democratic
government is setting free some
wolves with the lambs. Will the
anarch wolf become a democratic
lamb? That would be as hard to
answer as the greater question: VIII
the new Russia be able to keep Its
feet?-New York Sun.
