CONSCRIPTION AGREED ON.
AGE LIMITS FINED AT 21 TO 81
YEARS.
Conference Adjusts differences IN
House and Senate MeaSureS.-To
Begin Registration at Once.

Washington. May la.-The long
deadlock of senate and house con-
ferees on the selectire draft military
bill was broken today with agreement
on compromise measure under
which great war army would be
raised by selective cOnScription of
men between the ages of u and 80.
inclusive
The conference report is expected
to be given approval by both senate
and house within a few days and
within two weeks after the president
has affixed his signature registration
of those eligible for couscription will
be under way throughout the coun-
try. Some States already have select
ed their registration boards and the
war department has erected a vast
and intricate war machine for as
signing and organizing the conscripts.
They will be assembled at training
camps in September.
Compromise Satisfactory.
The compromise bill is understood
to be generally satisfactory to the
administration and to the army gen.
eral staff. on whose advice the orig
inal measure was framed. The most
important change made in congress
was in the age limits, fixed by the
staff at 19 to 25. inclusive. The SEN
ate made them p to q and the
house 21 and 40. The ages named in
the conference agreement are p and
80 inclusive, making the draft appli-
cable to all male voters under 81.
Roosevelt Proposition.
Although there has been no direct
authoritative expression from the
white house regarding the Roosevelt
volunteer proposal. administration
opposition to it has been inferred
from the fact that no provision for
volunteers was contained in the bill
as sent to congress from the war de-
partment. With the Roosevelt pro-
posal the conferees also threw out
similar amendment under which
three regiments of volunteers could
have been. enlisted for service on the
Mexican border.
Exemption From Draft.
The section dealing with exemp-
tons from draft was unwritten in
part by the conference committee and
provision was made for hearings in
exemption applications before local
civil tribunals, with the right of ap-
peal to a second tribunal and finally
to the president.
Two of the house conferees re-
fused to sign the conference report.
Representative Anthony, of Kansas,
would not accept it because the
Roosevelt amendment was striken
out. Representative Kahn. of Cali
fornia, would not agree to the pro-
hibition amendment, contending that
it reflected on the moral standards of
the nation and that regulatory pro-
visions should be left to the presi-
dent.

MUST MAKE MANY SACRIFICES.
War Against Germany Means Grim
~ Business Every Way.

Washington, May 12.-President
Wilson said in a public address here
today that the struggle against Ger
many means grim business on every
side of it, but that America had put
it's heart into the task and would re-
spond as a united nation to the call
to service.
Speaking of the dedication of
Red Cross memorial for the women
of the war between the States, the
president predicted that the present
struggle not only would obliterate the
last division between the North and
South, but would wipe out any lines
either of race or association cutting
athwart the great body of the ma
tion.''
Look for No Profit.
I'VE look for no profit" said he.
eve will accept no advantage out of
this war. We go because We believe
the very principles on which the
American republic was founded are
now at stake and must be vindicat-
ed
Former President Taft introduced
Mr.. Wilson as the nations leader in
the greatest war in history, a war
whose sacrifices we cannot realize.
Secretary Baker formally presented
the memorial building to the Red
Cross society and the presidents ad-
dress was made in accepting it as
honorary head of the society.
Handsome Building.
The building, a handsome $780,
900 structure built by the govern
ment, was dedicated to both the
women of the North and South.
Mr.. Wilson declared that although
the United States had gone into the
war with no special grievance of our
own" the cost might be sufferings
and sacrifices of such magnitude that
those of the civil war would seem in
finitessimal. To the end that the
best use be made OF aid to alleviate
conditions he urged that all philan'
thropic efforts be directed through
organized channels, such as the Rec
Cross.
