COASTW|SE SHIPS
 ID BE PLACED IN
 OCEAN SERVICE

Washington, April 23.-Im- mediate diversion of a number of steamships from the coast wise trade to transatlantic serv- ice was forecast by officials to- day after a conference here of transportation company repre- sentatives with the shipping board and the council of na- tional defense. Many vessels, it was said, can be removed without disarranging railway service.
 At meeting here next Wednesday newly created shipping committee of the defense council will take up measures to put the vessels to trans porting supplies to the allies. The committee was named today with Will liam Denman, chairman of the ship ping board, at its head. It will work out plans in cooperation with a gen eral railroad board named recently to coordinate operation of rail systems during the war. Vessels will be taken off their runs with as little disloca- tion to domestic commerce as possi- ble.
 Legislation introduced in both the Sen ate and House today by the administra- tion would authorize the President to confer title and possession of the Ger man and Austrian ships held in American ports It's terms would extend to vessels owned by any subject or citizens of any country with which the United States is at war.
 Repair to the damaged German and Austrian ships is being pushed as rap idly as possible. Some of them will be ready for service within few weeks.
 The shipping board is planning further standardization of steel merchant ships and will call conference of ship builders within few days to discuss increased ship building activity.

Entry Of America Into
 War Dispels Idea That Russia Is Not AH Loyal

The address has been translated together with other of the Presidents. utterances concerning American participation. and are being given wide circulation in a pamphlet freely distributed.
 No people, according to the report so circumstanced, ever have made greater sacrifices for freedom than the Russians. and they fully realize that separate peace would jeopardize all they have gained. The American form of govern ment has been taken as the model of the Russian people and the participation of the United States has infused in them a confident spirit and imbued them with a firm determination. They believe they have an army unequalled in number, un- excelled in courage and led by com manders of ability and patriotism.
 If Americans are incensed at the in trigues and under-handed machinations of Germany in their midst, and on their borders, the message declares, the Rus Esians have fourfold cause for like resent

Washington April 23.-Further encour- aging reports from Russia came today In a dispatch to the state department telling of the effect of President Wilson's war address and declaring that Russia under the new democratic provisional government is no more likely to abandon the war without achieving her object than is the United States.
 Recalling that one of the impelling causes for the overthrow of the imperial regime was the belief that 1t was plan ming a separate peace the dispatch said inc revolution would expedite the defeat of Germany and the establishment of general peace.
 Prompt recognition accorded the new government by the United States, gave encouragement and help to the council of ministers and their supporters, the de- ,s -tment was informed, while President !. yilsons allusion to the Russian revolu- tion in his address to Congress made deep, lasting impression on the people.

Washington. April 23-With both houses of Congress debating the war army bill today it became more than ever apparent that there is no fight over whether great army shall be raised, the only question being what strength can be mus tered by opponents of the administrations electrive draft plan.
 In the Senate passage of the general staff bill virtually without change is re- garded as certain; on the House side the Presidents supporters also are confident of success, though the contest there Will be bitter. Discussion in the Senate may continue until Saturday, but the House. under tentative agreement for IS hours of general debate. probably will be ready to vote by Thursday
 Most of the speeches in the House were in favor of the administration plans, after Representative Dent, chairman of the military committee, had made an opening statement earnestly supporting the bill as amended by his committee to authorize calls for volunteers, with provision for applying the draft only if the volunteer

Despite Opposition of Dents Committee Draft Bill
 Will Go Through
H U ESTON WILL STAND OUT AGAINST PRESSURE FROM HOME
Oliver Will Make Speech for Con- scription as Against Volunteer Proposition, Which He Thinks
 Is Harmful at Present
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, April g. Special. )-To all practical purposes, the administration has won its fight for conscrip- tion. Previous predictions to this effect were accentuated to- day by apparent anxiety of members of Congress to pro claim the fact that they stand no more in support of the vol unteer idea.
 The drive of the administration has shaken the Alabama delegation to it's very foundation. Tonight it is re- garded as highly probable that ma jority of the Alabamians will support the President, whereas, in the begin ming, all of them were adherents of the plan of conscription only after an opportunity had been given those de- sirous of volunteering.
 THOSE SUPPORTING PRESIDENT
 Representatives Oliver, Bankhead Gray and Hefiin, it is indicated, will oppose the volunteer plan. and it is understood that Representative steagall in all prob- ability will join them Representative Huddleston will oppose, it is reported. not only the majority but the minority re- ports. Today singularly strong and voiu- minous pressure was brought against him by residents of Birmingham who urged that he stand with the administration.
 OLIVER IS EARNEST
 MT Oliver stated this afternoon rnat ne probably would address the House in op- position to the volunteer plan.
 There is no question" said he, but that MT. Dent did all that he could to prepare a middle ground on which both the majority of the members of his com- mittee and the President could stand. However the volunteer plan, I am now convinced, is untenable If volunteers are called for, the impression would prevail that all who did not volunteer were slackers. On the other hand, the idea would also prevail that those who did volunteer, did so under pressure and in fear of conscription.
 Therefore I feel certain that the op- tion which the bill would give to the President to call for volunteers, should be stricken
 ALABAMA TYPICAL
 The attitude of the Alabama delega- ton is typical of all delegations and there is now little doubt but that con- scription will win by a big majority. Sem ators Bankhead and Underwood will vote to give the President exactly what he wants.
 The debate2n2the2House today was with out unusual feature In the Senate. MT. Harding of Ohio offered an amendment under the terms of which Colonel Roose- welt would be permitted to raise a volun- teer army. In the House, MT. Dent con- stunned the day in presenting the analysis of the bill as reported by the military committee.

GREAT BRITAIN ID SECURE FIRST
 OF GREAT LOANS

Washington, April 23.-The first American loan to the al lied nations will go to Great Britain.
 The amount and the details probably will be made public by Secretary McAdoo within a few days.
 Whatever the sum, the amount will be available out of the proceeds of the $5,000, ,000,- 900 bond issue soon to be of fered to the public, of which ! $3, ,000, 0,000,000 will be loaned to the allies.
 Announcement to this effect was made today at the treasury depart ment after day crowded with confer ences between Secretary McAdoo and federal reserve board officials and American bankers and bond dealers and official representatives of Great Britain and France.
 Another development was the announce ment that the size of the first issue of bonds authorized under the s7,0OO 0O0, ,0Oo war finance measure will depend largely upon the immediate needs of the allies Reports as to this have yet to be received in detail
 The entire $5000, 100000 of authorized bonds will not be offered in one lump sum. according to present tentative plans, but probably will be called for in several installments or issues. By this course it is believed that financial dis turbances which might result were the country called upon to absorb the whole issue at once will be averted. DETAILS TO BE ARRANGED Details as to the amount of the first issue It's distribution among the allies, the character and terms of the bonds, methods of disposing of them and other questions will engage the attention of treasury department and federal reserve board officials during the next 10 days. The first of these conferences began today with the visit of Lord Cunlffe, governor of the Bank of England upon Secretary McAdoo and Governor Hard ling of the reserve board. The members of the board. returned the, call and have arranged to entertain Lord Cunliffe at luncheon Wednesday. Thereafter nego- tia tions will be conducted with a view of disposing as rapidly as possible of de- tails yet to be determined. so that the bond issue may be offered without un- cue loss of time.
 The French ambassador called upon Secretary McAdoo later in the day and spent more than an hour discussing the terms of the bond issue and the imme- diate needs of the French government On behalf of Great Britain, 1t is ex- pected. Lord Cunliffe will place before Secretary McAdoo details as to her most pressing financial problems
 PRESIDENT TO APPROVE As soon as definite idea is obtained of the needs of the chief entente gov lernments the tentative programme will be placed before President Wilson and the cabinet for approval, probably by Tuesday of next week.
 An approximate idea of the immediate requirements of Great Britain France and Russia. it is understood, already had 1 been obtained fropl representatives of
