Washington, d. c.. April 17.--No
other subject of proposed legislation is
commanding the nation wide attention
being given to CONSUMPTION. The House
military committee report is expected
to maxi provision for volunteering as
well as con%scription. Whether the adj
ministration will accept a compromise
is not yet clear.
0utwardly it opposes any COM
promise, though there are some intima-
tions at the capitol that the war de-
partment will not fight a volunteer
provision if the selective draft is made
the foundation of the legislation.
That the conscription plan is gaining
strength is apparent. The army appro-
priation bill, it is hoped, will be put on
the statute books this week. Delay in
this is costing corresponding delay in
letting contracts for equipment and
holding back preparation.
DIVIDING interest with the legislative
situation is the visit of the nvoys from
England and France this week. Their
mission concerns international politics
OF the s~uperlative sort. A leading sen
ator today said that while it had to do
with financial and military plans its
real purpose was akin to the mission to
Italy of entente leaders after Italy en-
tered the a The entente wanted to
ascertain how far America is going in
the war and whether the government
will commit itself to fight to the end
without separate peace. Here arises
the question of how far the president
can commit the country to such a vir-
tual alliance, though it may not be an
allianc technically.
One of the foremost democratic SEN
ators said today that the president
would presumably act without seeking
the sanction Of congress on the theory
the congress would back up the policy
of war to the finish.
