During War the First Legislative
Step Toward Conservation of
Food In United States.

Washington.-The first legislative
step toward conservation of the ma
tion's food resources and Il long adj
vance toward an absolutely dry United
States, was taken on May II by the
senate In approving, 3S to 81, an
amendment to the administration es-
pionage bill forbidding during the war
facture of intoxicating liquor.
BY majority of one vote the SEN
ate also threw out of the bill the nd-
ministration press censorship section.
This action is expected to throw
the censorship fight into conference
where the influence of the administra-
tion can be brought to bear more di-
rectly. What will be the outcome
no senator would predict with conf
dence.
The prohibition amendment was
adopted under rule limiting debate

speeches on each side. Just previous

DRAFT AGE LIMIT
IS SET At THIRTY
6oLONS AGREE ON THE MEASURE
UNDER WHICH GREAT WAR
ARMY WILL BE RAISED.
All Men Over q and Under 81 Re-
quired to Register Under seiective
Conscription Act and Favorlt-
ism Will be Excluded

Washington.-The long deadlock OF
senate and house conferees on the Sc
tective draft military bill was broken
On May 10 with agreement on COM
promise measure under which a great
war army would be raised by selectIve
cOnscrfption Of men between the ages
of q and 81.
Authorization for recruiting Colonel
Roosevelts proposed volunteer divi-
sion written into the bill by the SEN
ate and defended stubbornly by the
senate conferees finally was thrown
out on the insistence of committeeman
representing the house. In return the
house yielded to the senate's proposal
for prohibition at military posts.
The conference report Is expected to
be given approval by both senate and
house in few days and within two
weeks after the president has affixed
his signature registration of those ELI
gible for conscription will be under
way throughout the country.
The war department has erected a
vast war machine for assigning and
organizing tie conscripts. They will
be assembled at training camps in Sep
tember. The compromise bill is I'M
derstood to be generally satisfactory
to the administration and to the army
general staff on whose advice the
original measure was framed. The
most important change made In con-
gress was in the age limits, fixed by
the staff at 10 and 25 inclusive. The
senate made them 81 and 81, and the
house 21 and 40. The ages named in
the conference agreement are 21 and
30 inclusive, making the draft ap-
plicable to all male voters under 81.
The prohibition provision as agreed
to excludes liquor, beer and wines from
any military post, but does not forbid
selling or giving these beverages to
soldiers except when in uniform.
To dispose of any fear that county
and city registration boards will eNer-
else favoritism in enrolling soldiers
under the selective draft act Provost
Marshal General Crowder issued a
statement declaring such practices
would be virtually impossible because
of the explicit terms in which the act
is drawn. He warned registration Of
ficials that favoritism easily could be
detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties.

BOYS, YOUR COUNTRY
NEEDS YOU.
BY WALLACE McBRIDE

But right or wrong my
county,
These wordsshould sound sweet
" familiar to every true Amer
ican. These words should awak-
Ell within the souls OF ofOurcountry-
men the deepest regard tor our
own America. and for those ideals
that we have cherished since the
birth of our republic.
Especially should this be true
at this particular time, for never
before in the history OF the world
has there been a nation that has
more sincerely struggled to avert
the impending storm than has
the United States in the past
two years.
Our President with all the earn
estness and sincerely of his noble
character, has played his part
well-when every hope seemed to
have f1ed-when the inevitable
war clouds were drifting toward
our shores still he could see thru
the mist a little gleam of light
possibility of our country's 3
safety and in the midst of it all
he went before his God and pray.
ed that this nation might not
feel the stings of this great world
war. But in spite OF every human n
effort 1t has come-and will we
meet it like men? Will we stand
true. to those principles upon
which rests the constitution OF
this democracy? Will we fight
tor liberty and justice and for
those who are nearer and drarer
to us than lite, or will we play
the part Of a coward in a heroic
guise ard shrink from our calling
when duty points the way.
To some it may seem but a
passing fancy, but. time will por-
tray it as a stern reality. The
awakening will come and when
the price of sin has been paid this
sphere of mortality will be hol-
ier and happier home for the
children OF men.
We who are going away are
not dong SO without sacrifice.
we are leaving behind parents,
brothers and sisters and friends.
who are just AS dear to us as are
the loved ones to those who are
staying at home. We are in a
position to feel more .kcenly the
sorrows and the uncertainty OF
the future than those who are far
from the scenes which character
lze war and destruction. but we
are going without regret or dread
as to what the END might be.
Out of the thousands who 90
from their homes it is only nat
ural that there will be some who
will not return. If we are count
ed among them and if we have
stood true to the things that our
fathers and thers have taught
us from babyhood. 1t we prove
to be worthy representatives of
our State, OF our Nation. and of
the higher order OF humanity
and if we play our parts we'll
1t matters not.
