Welcome in New York

Lafayette, luncheon by the Mer-
chants Association, the comforting Of
degrees at Columbia University and
a visit by Marshal Joffre to the tomb
of Grant were the chier functions
claiming the attendance of Marshal
Joffre, NJ. Rene Viviani, former
premier of France, and other men,
bers of the mission.
New York to-day renewed the well
come extended to Marshal Joffre and
NJ. NiViani in such unSurpassing
warmth yesterday. Never before has
the metropolis, city of six million
people of all nationalities, accord
ed any one man, or group of men
the welcome that broke into tre-
mendous, though dignified demon
stration whenever the victor of the
Marine and his distinguished asso-
ciates on the mission appeared
where the people could get a glimpse
of them in passing through the
gayly decorated streets, the tricolor
of France predominating in the
gorgeous display of color. In num-
bers New York showed the magni-
tude of its appreciation of the deeds
of the man and thousands of people
were banked en- masse along the
route taken by the visiting mission
from Battery Park TO City Hall,
along lower Broadway and Fifth
avenue, unmindful or the cold wind
and intermittent rain, to see Joffre
and to do him honor. To the cries
of "vive la France" "vive la Mar
shall" the man who had commanded
the armies that stopped the German
rush at the very gates of Paris
only smiled and saluted.

Representatives Kahn and An
thony, Republicans, announced they
would not sign the conference re-
port. Anthony was opposed to elm
mating the Roosevelt amendment
and Kahn opposed the prohibitory
sections maintaining he could not
approve provisions making the
United States appear to be either
drunken or an immoral nation.
Chairman Chamberlain, of the
Senate military committee, said he
expected to report the agreement to-
! day, but because the House must
first act, the bill may not be finally
agreed to until later in the week.
Break on Il. r.
Elimination of the Roosevelt
amendment is expected to arouse
some opposition in the Senate, where
it was put in by a large vote. An
agreement. however, is expected.
The prohibition amendment was
modified so that while liquor, wine
or beer cannot be sold or possessed
on military reservations or camps,
it will not be unlawful to furnish or
give them to men in uniform.
One of the difficulties in reaching
an agreement was over the tribunals
which shall pass on exemptions from
the selective draft. The provision
accepted gives right of appeal from
a first to a second tribunal. No mill
tary men are to be on either and
they are to be distinct from the
courts of the United States or the
States.
General staff officers were much
pleased at the agreement of the con-
ferees and the total elimination of
the volunteer system from the new
armies While thy preferred the
narrower age limits of the Senate
bill as it would yield on the whole a
younger lot of men, they were sat
isfied with rejection of the House
provision which extended the age
as far as 40.
Senator France, of Maryland, be-
lieving the bill defective because of
the limited range of ages, introduced
to-day a separate resolution to en-
power the President to enroll all
men between Is and 45 for national
defense, simultaneously with the Sc
lective conscription registration.
The enrolment would consist of a
cadet corps. 1S to 20; first line 81
to 81; second line 81 to 35; first re-
serve 35 to 45.
