Washington, ID. C.-Discussion of
the espionage bill was resumed today
il the House, with every indication
OF long hard fight over the news
paper censorship section.
and Senate conferees today began
the task of adjusting differences on
the military appropriation bill and
as soon as a settlement has been
reached will seek to reach an agree
ment on the war army bill, repassed
by the Senate yesterday, on which
there are more serious Differences.
An early agreement on both measures
is hoped for, so as to send them to
President Wilson for his approval
this week.
The prospects are that the House
conferees will refuse to agree to the
Senate amendment which would per-
nit Theodore Roosevelt to raise an
expedition for foreign service. Most
of the other major differences are
believed to be capable OF adjustment,
including those on ages subject to
selective draft and the Senate army
prohibition amendment.
The Senate bill specified ages sub
iect to draft at from 81 to 27 and the
House at from 21 to 40. The indi-
cations are that the conferees will
reach a compromise, fixing the mini
mum ages at possibly 21 and the
maximum at possibly 35.
Debate Espionage Bill.
Debate on the administration es-
pionage bill continued in the Senate
today and will be kept before it con-
tinuously until finally disposed of.
Senate leaders hope to pass the meas
ure at the end of the week at the
latest. -
Asimilar measure is pending in
the House.
The Senate has already voted ap-
; proval of the censorship section of
the bill although there is nothing to
prevent consideration again. Strong
opposition is looked for on the pro-
vision which WOULD authorize the
president to lay an embargo on goods
which might pass through neutral
countries to Germany and Austria.
Take Up War Funds.
The war emergency bill, carrying
s2,S27,653, 900. was taken up in the
House today for final action and
prompt passage with but few dis
senting votes was expected.

1t became known definitely that

at the general staff to putting Am

fore the great war army has been
raised and trained the adminisIla-

France for morale effect shall be

Would Discourage Germans.
State department officials have
continuously urged the sending OF an
army solely for its psychological eff
feet. if not only in encouraging The
Allied troops, but in discourasns

such a step would consecrate the
United States as full member o.

Some who have vigorously op
posed an early eNpeditionarN force
