WASHINGTON, April 27.-Amer-
ica's part In the war was put squares
ly up to President Wilson by the al-
lies here today.
Whether the United States shan
concentrate on supplying food, men.
ships, or gold, is for the president to
decide.
Former Premier viviant Of the
French commission, flatly declared
the matter wholly up to the president
in statement denying that France
will attempt to dictate this govern
ment's policy on any point
of the English commission, has done
the same. stressing hands Off polit-
ically'' in particular.
President Wilson has made no
statement Of policy to the public.
Today's developments when tho
world powerful triumvirate gets
down" as British commissioner ex-
pressed it, Ito brass tacks." for ths
first time, are expected to clarity
Americas attitude on various points.
Indications are that the president
has sanctioned scheme Of:
First money; then food; next ships.
Preparedness to accomplish desir-
ed results, will be rushed in all
branches. The first help ready will
be the first given.
War organization OF the nation
moved rapidly today.
Tentative plans were made betweeH
the war commissioners and Secretary
McAdoo for American loans to tho
allies Of $500, 100000 month
Passage of the conscription act In,
the house within the next forty-eightl
hours was predicted.
As the great war council got UNDER
full headway and tentative plans toi
start great streams Of food and coal
pouring into the granartes and bias
of our European allies assumed defin-
inte shape, the danger Of a big and
sudden rise in the cost of living in

LONDON, April 27.-Lowering dusk
and whining, raw wind; dense
crowds, a grey ambulance line drawn
up in the train shed, a suppressed
feeling of emotion-this is how Lon
don welcomes 'back home her
wounded from the great push.
1t was so last night. Coster women
squawked like parrots when the
blighty boys arrived; the Londoners
cheered and threw flowers; dinners
grew cold in thousand households
but the wounded were greeted with
the welcome Of triumphant heroes.
By the time the train arrived, the
audience had grown to two long
rows, five or ten deep In the train
shed and thousands more outside.
The first ambulance sneaked timid-
ly out of the shed, seeming to tip toe
through the rows Of craning necks.
Coster women ripped through the
crowd shrilling their cries of "Vilets,
sweet vi'lets and daffydils for the
wounded" and peddling with both
hands
Peering into the shadowy interior
of the creeping ambulance, the crowd
saw six men lying on swinging cots
with q. number STOPPING over, exam
lining the symptom card of one. Flow
ers rained out of the crowd, gently
peltfng the wounded. Violets and
daffodils, poorly aimed, fell under the
wheels, but no matter. Their inten-
tions were good. Two wounded men
propped themselves up and nodded in
response to the welcome. One had
been shot through the face, for only
one eye and a portion of his nose
were showing through bandages. Still
he seemed to smile with that one eye.
Just off the fringe Of the throng a
little ctIbby hole of a cigar store was
enjoying a business rush. Two clerks
showed out cigarettes in twenty-fves
and flfties.
Gimme hundred vlrginias." one
white whiskered man demanded. He
grabbed four packages and pushed

SELECT|VE DRAFT

Many Amendments Expected, But on

Be Passed 40 Con-

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Selective
draft will be the means whereby the
United States will raise her armies.
This was assured today as house
and senate neared the close of many
hours Of debate.
The forces opposing the administra.
tion bill and favoring instead, the vol.
unteer system, were weaker than ever
before and it was freely admitted that
the selective draft plan, practically as
shaped by the army general staff will
be enacted into law.
The house may vote late today. The
senate is under agreement to vote not
later than midnight Saturday.
AS the house now lines up, it will
probably have a leeway Of around
fifty votes in passing the draft scheme
while the conscription forces in the
senate expect a majority Of fifteen to
eighteen.
An indication Of the trend Of senti.
ment in the house was given in gener-
|al debate. Forty-three members spoke
for the Dent bill and its accompanying
volunteer provision. Eighty-one spoke
against It and for q straight selective
draft army.
Chairman Dent Of the military com
mittee. speaking for the volunteer plan
and Representative Kahn. Of Call
fornia, ranking republican member,
leading the administration forces fight
ing for conscription, were to be the
last speakers.
Many amendments are expected.
The principal ones are Representative
Kahn's amendment for straight Sc
lective draft army; Representative
Madden's providing that each state
shall raise its quota Of men In proper
tion to population. and Representative
welt to raise a volunteer army before
the draft starts.
House debate approached the end
this afternoon when Representa-
tive Kahn, California, closing de.
nounced the volunteer system and
begged the house to stand by the
president.
Kahn, q republican, but leader OF
the democratic administrations
forces, received rous,ng welcome of
cheers as he rose.
Chairman Dent, of the military
committee, was TO follow him, closing
debate for the volunteer pro oJorents.
Dent announced that he would ask
the house to sit by evening and that
he hoped to get house vote by to-
morrow evening.
"In all our wars" Kahn said, I'VE
have had among us those who oppoS-
ed our entrance into the struggle and
who put every obstacle in the way 10
prevent us from properly waging war
fare in defense of the rights of these
United States.
81 have no doubt our former volun-
teers were indeed as brave AMI
courageous as any that fought for
their country's honor. But the sys-
TEN which permits the volunteer 10
sacrifice his life and permits the
shirker to remain at home Is neither
fair, just, nor democratic.

the confident note sounded today by
Premier Loyd-George in Guild hall
speech.

and have taken prisoners at ratio

, the same period around Arras re-
Gently we took $4,000 and 25O guns.
Our gains were thus quadrupled.
"This means not only ultimate VIC
tory, but at less loss. Our chances
are growing as our equipment is i'm
proving. And the Germans know it
which explains the despair driving
them into black piracy on the sea.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-To COM
bat the high cost of foodstuffs, the de-
partment of agriculture Is to be put
on war basis. Increasing the pro
duction Of wheat and lowering OF the
price Of bread are the main objec-
tiyes.
Department officials say this must
be done-soon-and congress will be
asked to pass legislation accomp.
fishing It,
With powers Of handling situations
coming under its jurisdiction In the
same manner as the war and navy
departm ents control matters under
them, the agricultural department
would be able Immediately to cope
with such developments as the sud.
den boosting of bread prices, officials
say.
Placing the department on a war
footing would be the solution of the
whole question of high prices on food
stuffs," Assistant Secretary Vrooman,
of the department, said today. 1T
would assure the planting of vastly
more acreage for one thing.
Armies can be raised at any
year. but wheat has its planting sea-
son--and that very short one. Once
this season passes, we must wait for
a whole year before there another.
Meantime our people and our al.
lies might be starving"
1t Is admitted that the jump In
bread prices has come under the eye
of the department, but pending con-
gressional action on measure 10
insure full war powers, 1t is taking
no action In the situation.
Meantime officials believe the bread
rise in New York will not be follow
ed by bakers in other parts Of the
country-at least for the time being.
