After A Long Deadlock, Senate and House Conferees Agree on This as Ages for Draft Bill.

Washington, May 10.-The long deadlock of the Senate and House con- ferees on the selective draft military bill was broken today with agreement on compromise measure under a great war army will be raised by se- lective eonscription on men between the ages of 21 and 30.
 Authorization for recruiting Colonel Roosevelt's proposed volunteer divis- ion for service in France, written by the Senate, finally was thrown out on the insistence of committeeman repre- senting the House. In return the House yielded to the Senate's proposal for prohibition at military posts.
 The. conference report is expected to receive approval of both houses in a few days and within two weeks after the president has affixed his signature, registration of those eligible for con- scription will be under way throughout the country.
 To dispose of any fear that county and city registration boards will show favoritism in enrolling soldiers under the selective draft act, Provost Mar shal General Crowder issued a state ment tonight declaring such practices would be practically impossible be- caus of the explicit terms in. which the act is drawn He warned registration officials that fayoritism can be detect ed and will be punished with heavy pen alties.
 s.The law allows no latitude to the boards either in the matter of registraz tion or in the later matter of exenp- ton from service.y he said. Every man within the age limits fixed y the selectivs service act must register and the penalty for evasion of registration will fall on the man who fails to ap- pear and on any member of registra- tion board who may be shown to be in collision with the person who at tempts to escape his duty.
 "The registration boards will never act as exemption boards, except in cer- tain specific cases, such as where a young man who has registered shall laim to be employed in federal, state Tor local office and thereby does come within the exemption clause of the statute. In case like this the facts ] must be entered officially and attest lsd.
 "As to.exemptions for men engaged
 in pursuits in which their work is
 more valuable at home than in the
 service, the authority will lie with g
 board of higher jurisdiction. "

male TEACHERS
ARE HUMAN"
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Jacob M. Loeb,
president Of the board OF education of
this city admitted that high school
principals Of the male persuasion are
human.
Mr. Loeb said last night in explain
ing why he agrees largely with the
indignant charge made at a board
meeting by Mrs. George ". Vosbrink,
a member, that principals in selecting
teachers paid little attention to men
tai equipment and much to charm Of
face and figure in filing positions.
You would think they were filling
up a musical comedy chorus instead OF
seeking At guides for children" pro-
tested Mrs. Vosbrink, Mr.. Loeb COM
mented.
at is only human that the high
school principals. who are men, should
consider these qualities in woman. II
is the natural thing for them to do,
They want teachers with whom they
can get along. If a teacher has a
pleasing personality she is going to
get along we'll with the pupils and
other teachers"

necessary to carry the population to
the end Of the crop year. Consider
able supplies were available in Ru-
mania, according to Herr Batocki, but
shipments could not be made in the
quantities needed and hence actual
supplies were short and rigid organi-

Herr Batocki complained that the
situation was aggravated by the rich
er people buying underhand at fancy
prices what they wanted and thus
thwarting the work Of the food office.

ENGLAND Raises No SUGAR.

One of the leading shortages In
England today is the sugar shortage.
This is due largely to the fact that
there is no domestic production of
sugar whatever. In line with her new
policy of raising necessities at home
England has subsidized a company to
raise sugar beets and set up sugar
factory. Climate and soil are said to
be favorable. A tract of $500 acres
has been set aside. The treasury has
assured the enterprise Of backing to
the extent of $625,OOO. To get this
subsidy In accordance with British law
a special company had to be organized
