DEBATE BEGINS
IN THE HOUSE
BITTER FIGHT Is BEING WAGED
IN THE HOUSE OVER SELEC-
TIVE DRAFT FEATURE
III
WILL pass The SENATE
1t Appeared Certain Today that the
Ce,ascriptinn Hill Would He
Passed BY the Senate-Pro-
gressiyes Indorse Bill

WASHINGTON. April 23.Con-
gress today started debate ON the ad-
ministration's conscription army bill,
which, If it is passed, will subject
millions of American citizens to draft
and enable the government to Inn
metiiately start training the biggest
army in American history for 3
smash at Germany.
The House had before ii the army
bill as reported BY the military COM
mittee, with conflicting recommen-
dations. One provides for the vol
unteer plan and the other provides
for President Wilson'S selective
draft.
The House fight is bitter. Rep
iesentative Kahn OF California. Re-
publican and native OF Germany, led
the administration forces. Chair-
man Dent Of the military committee
headed the opposition favorable to
the volunteer army.
Administration supporters are
confident the opposition could not
muster sufficient votes to heat COM
scription.
Strong pressure is being brought
TO bear on wavering members which
will continue to the end of the de-
bate, probably Wednesday, when the
administration hopes to have all un-
certain Opponents whipped into line.
The Senate fight is not so bitter.
1t appeared certain that the draft
/ program would ultimately pass In
the Upper House. President Wilson
is keeping in closest touch with every
move. His intimate advisers are
said TO be positive consciiption will
win.
/ A group of proglessives gave adj
ded strength to the Presidents
forces when they endorsed the ad-
ministration measure, including the
draft.

The FOOD PROBLEM Is NOW
GREATEST CONCERN Of ALLIES
by GEORGE MARTIN


WASHINGTON, April 23.-What
the allies want from the United

food.
This vital fact emerged above all
others today from the trappings OF
diplomatic courtesy attending the
reception here of Foreign Secefary
Arthur j. Balfo,n and the British
commission by Presiden Wilson and
other American officials.
While the day was given over
principally to surface courtesies and
diplomatic greetings the various rep
resentatives, both English and
America, plunged at once into the
consideration of the vital problems
of shipping. fiance, munitions,
military and naval affairs confront
ing the allies since the United
States declared itself in.
There is no immediate concern

retary Baker.
Shipping and trade advisors, with
a corps OF statistical and market eX-
pe,ts. got down to details immediate-

officials.
1t was pooling of British brains
