 HAVE \ CHANGE
lA..ncLaLel prfs.l

WASHINGTON, D, C., Apr. Il. - t was announced tonight that the war department had virtually decid- ed on plans that, if adopted, will give half a million men an opportunity to volunteer for active service. These volunteers will be assigned to the regular army and national guard or gan.zauons until the full war strength of these two bodies i7 entirely filled out. This plan was decided on tn view of the many volunteers who have been offering their services since the declaration of war
 At the same time that this plan was announced, however, President Wilson held a conference with Speak CT Clark and Floor Leader Kitchin and informed them that the recon mendation Of the general staff and the previously announced plan of the administration for raising an army by conscription will be adhered to. He insisted that the leaders in the house prepare and enact legislation to this effect as quickly as possible. in view of the announcement that half million volunteers will be called for, it is thought that only half a million will b. conscripted at this time, thus making up the full army of 100000 men which is to be equipped and trained within the next twelve months.

It is therefore expected that, while Ameri- ca will cooperate with the entente allies in every possible way, she will enter no agreement other than this, nor become an integral part of the entente alliance,

 The gold found is very coarse and mixed with quartz. It is worn but very little, indicating that il came off the nearby hill during the glacial period.
 The shaft which was being sunk by Dick Stein and partner sloughed in on them, and they had to quit work there. Other parties. however, are still sinking.

 YET DETERMINED
Associated Press)

BUENOS AIRES, Apr. 1.-It was officially declared tonight that the Argentine government will make no definite announcement at the present time regarding it's neutrality in the war between Germany and America. It states that such an announcement is not considered necessary, as the note sent to the American govern ment yesterday endorsed the policy of President Wilson, and declared Argentine's intention of supporting Americas action.
 It is believed here that the gov ernment is only waiting for Brazil to take some definite step. and then it will follow her lead. Sentiment against the German policy of unre stricted submarine warfare Is strong throughout the republic. and break with Germany would meet with pop ular approval.
