Washington, May 2.-The house and
senate conferees today began the task
OF adjusting differences over the an
nual army appropriation bill and as
soon as settlement is reached they
will seek to reach an agreement on the
war army bill, repassed by the senate
yesterday. over which there is more
serious disagreement.
Prospects are that the house con-
ferees will refuse TO agree to the SEN
ate amendment to permit Colonel
Roosevelt to raise volunteer expedi-
ton for foreign service. Most of the
other major differences are believed
to be OF adjustment, Including of those
on ages subjected to sclective draft
and the senate army prohibition
amendment. The senate bill specified
the ages subject TO draft at from Il
to 27 and the house at from 21 to 40
and indications are that compromise
will be effected fixing the minimum
age at 21 and the maximum at 35.
The urgent deficiency bill passed the
house today with Representative Lon
don casting the only negative vote.

fRy Associated Press.l

Washington. MAY 2.-The french
commissioners today had assurance
that the American government is will
ing to send troops to France-one OF
the urgent recommendations they
brought to this country--when the
allies believe they can afford to spare
the necessary ships for transporting an
army and its equipment across the
Atlantic.
The administration has put aside
the objection OF the army general staff
to send any troops to the battle front
until big force has been raised and
trained for nearly a year. and has
decided that for the sake Of the moral
effects Of Americas actual participa-
tion in the trench battle a small con-
tingent shall 20 forward as soon as
possible.
This win be soon it is believed, all
though the government is mindful that
nearly 100000 tons of shipping would
be required for regular army unit OF
$4,000 and that this amount would
have to be diverted from carrying
food.
Both the British and French COM
missioners were enthusiastic over the
prospect.
