Debate by La Toilette and
Others Likely to Re-
tard Measure
Slim Chance for
T. RS Division
House May Make Senate
Resolution on Prohibi-
ton Stronger

Washington, April 2e.-There is no
chance OF changing the reslt Of tho
Senate's vote late last night in favor
OF the selective draft, but the entire
question can be thrsshed out on the
floor again, and additional votes forced
IL the advocates Of the volunteer plan
desire 70 flibuster. This would hold
IN the settlement Of the differences
between the two Houses Of Congress
and delay the actual work Of getting an
army together.
This is due to a queer parliamentary
,;tustjon. Late Saturday night the
Senate. after receiving the House BILL
referred IL TO the Military Committee
The committee substituted the text
lust passed by the Senate for the
House bill, and reported the amended
bill back TO the Senate.
Technically, although the actual
text has been passed by the Senate the
measure now pending is new BILL and
is. OF course, subject to amendment
before it can be passed. Debate on
amendment can run on indefinitely
under the rules, II there is any desire
on the part Of the anti-draft Senators
20 flihuster.

Viviani and Balfour Make
Stirring Addresses at
Washington's Tomb
Two Nations Place
Wreaths on Coffin
Greeting of France Is Con-
veyed by Former
Premier

Mount Vernon, Va. April 29.-The
flags Of Great Britain, France and the
United States hoated together to-day
over the tomb of George Washington.
Beneath them, spokesmen Of the three
great democracies paid homage to
Americas soldier and statesman, and
pledged themselves, each to the other,
in the name of the dead, to prosecute
the struggle against autocracy on the
lines he had followed in bringing
America into being.
In groups Of twos and threes, an en-
inent gathering, including the members
Of the French and British war COM
missions, the Presidents Cabinet and
members of Congress, had strolled up
through the sloping grounds from the
river bank, until perhaps half a hun
dred people stood with barred heads in
semi-clrcle before the tomb. The
day, which had been heavy and threat
ening as the party approached on the
Mayflower, suddenly burst into sun
light which played through the trees
on the uniforms and faces.
Without formality, Secretary Daniels
motioned to NJ. Viviani, Minister Of
Justice and former Premier Of France,
who advanced slowly into the centre
and began TO speak.
The spectators, though most Of them
could not understand French, caught
the suppressed feeling and fire of the
orator.

1000 Surgeons
To Go to France
Within 3 Months
Pick of Americas Doctors
to Bolster Medical
Corps of Allies

! Washington, April 29.-Plans fof
sending one thousand American sur.
geons to Europe for service in the AL
| lied armies were announced tonight
by the General Medical Board of the
Council Of National Defence. The men
will be picked by the American College
of Surgeons, and the aim is to have
them on the firing line within three
months.
The announcement was made after a
conference of the Medical Board to-day
with Colonel T. II. Goodwin, ranking
medical officer of the British forces in
France, here as a member of the Brit
ish war mission.
The offer Of surgeons for the Allies
fronts came from the regents of the
College of Surgeons and won the i'm
mediate approval of the medical board.
1t was inspired by Colonel Goodwin's
story of the difficulties Great Britain
and France are having in keeping their
medical ranks filled, and awaits only
the formal sanction of the government
before selection of the men begins.
Offered It's Whole Staff
In addition TO Offering surgeons for
the Allies, the College Of Surgeons,
with the American Medical Association,
put at the Medical Boards disposal to-
day its entire organization. The Col
lege of Surgeons offered the Medical
Board for service throughout the war
its director and Office staff.
Deans Of forty-six medical schools
meeting here to-day reported to the
board that they had decided TO make
no changes in their courses toward
shortening systems of instruction, so
that a continuous stream of trained
young medical men may be supplied
to the army and navy if the war
lasts a number OF years. All, it was
announced, will reduce their teaching
stats to free men for military service.
Hospitals. too, will cut down their
stats to give the military forces the
largest number Of physicians possible.
To hasten the manufacture Of hospital
supplies they will be asked to use only
standardized articles recommended by
the Medical Board The hospital com
mittee Of the board will make a study
Of special hospitals required for the
wounded

La Toilette Likely to Talk

Senator La Toilette, who tried to
uropose and discuss q substitute meas
urt. providing for the volunteer sys-
ten. within a few minutes Of the time
the Senate had agreed on a vote. ard
who was denied the right to do so
under the unanimous consent agree
m.nt. IS expected to utilize the present
parliamentary situation 20 discuss his
proposal.
All this will hold up consideration
of the bill by the conferrees, and, con-
seouently. the adjustment Of the differ
snces between the two Houses
A careful canvass Of the situation
with regard 70 the differences between
the houses tonight disclosed the fol
lowing situation:
ROOSEVELT AMENDMENT. - The
Senate amendment, authorizing the
raising Of four divisions of volunteers,
under which IL was expected that Roose-
welt might get his division TO France,
will probably be lost. The Admins
tration Is against il, and two of the
three probable Senate conferrees Voted
against It in the Senate. This does not
mean that Roosevelt has no chance to
20. because the President has as much
right 20 appoint him 10 the regular
establishment, OF with the first Ma
tional Guard division to 20, as to ap-
poiut him over one OF the proposed vol
unteer divisions. 1t does mean that the
proposed Roosevelt Division has little
chance.
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT. - If
the House of Representatives gets an
opportunity to vote on the Senate
amendment putting in the hands of
the President the power 10 make such
resolutions covering prohibition Of al
ooholic liquors in or near military
camps" the House will beyond a doubt
either approve IL or seek TO make
II stronger. The "drys" in both houses
would like 70 see this section amended
by substituting straight out prohibi-
tion amendment, instead of authorizing
the President to prescribe regulations.
To Agree on Conscripts Age
AGES SUBJECT TO CONSCRIP-
TION.-The Senate fixes the ages Of
men subject TO the selective draft at
from twenty-one TO twenty-seven, in
elusive; the House at from twenty-one
10 forty. inclusive. The best judgment
obtainable tonight was that the House
would yield most of the difference, If
not ali of it,-so that the final ages
will not be far from twenty-one TO
twents- seven.
VOLUNTEER CAVALRY COWBOY
REGIMENTS-The War Department is
opposed 70 the amendment Of the Sen
ate, proposed by Senator Fall, which
would permit the voluntary enlisting
Of three regiments OF cowboys for Mex
lean border patrol. The conferrees are
not believed 20 be friendly 20 the
amendment, and it's chances of ap-
prOyal are very slight.

South Georgia is covered with pea.
nuts, according to folks of this sec
ton. 1t is estimated that 100000
acres have been planted. The crop
will probably foot up As, 100000
pounds. At 4 cents pound, which
is very conservative, it will bring
$1,8O0,000.
The cantaloupe crop is estimated
at 1,170,000 crates, which, at 81 a
crate, also an extremely conservative
price, is worth S1,17O,400.
According to the United States
government estimates the apple crop
of Georgia this year will be worth
in round figures $3,934,0O as com
pared with $2,164,00O in 1916.
Footing up all these figures brings
the grand total of the value of Geor-
gia crops to $S4,117,675.
This takes no account of hogs and
cattle, dairy products and other
things raised on the farm.
1t is a very conservative figure.
The United States governments es-
innate of the crop values of Georgia
for 1917 is S469,468,2 20, as com
pared with a total value, according
to the same authority, of $241,909,-
$50 in 1916.
