SWENSON ELATED.
BY DEFENSE WORK
President of State Council Returns
From Conference at Washing
ton; Wisconsin Way Ahead

Magnus Swenson, Madison, presi-
dent of the state council OF defense,
has returned from Washington, D. c.,
where he attended a conference of
members. Of President Wilson s. cab
met and representatives of forty-six
out Of forty-eight states. During his
visit in the national capital, Mr. Sven
son called on President Wilson and
United States Senator Paul O. Hust-
ing.
The president addressed us brief,
ly," said he, "as to the Importance of
cooperation with the federal governr
nent in the general program of de-
Tense. Mr.. Wilson appears to be in
excellent health, in fact, / never saw
him looking better. The heavy bur-
dens and great responsibilities Of
these grave times do not seem to be
wearing on him. He made no refer
ence to the war, except with respect
to the work of the defense councils"
Clear Up Position
Mr.. Swenson said that Wiseonsin's
position is being cleared up despite
the attitude of Senator La Toilette
and other members of congress from
this state. Some sections of the east,
he said. still entertain the idea that
Senator La Toilette may be repre-
senting the sentiment of Wisconsin,
but the attitude of Senator Husting
and Congressman Lenroot is doing
much to place this state in the right
light: ei 5.s e
The nation is preparing for long
war; 5s 4.

Conferees Strike Knot in Senate
Provision for Roosevelt VoIun-
~ teer Force
MEASURE MAY HAVE TO !.
- GO BACK TO TWO HOUSES
Further Effort to Compromise to
Be Made Today; House to
: Yield on Age Limits q. s.

es@ Is Is
Conferees on the war army bill in
four-hour discussion Monday at
Washington failed to reconcile the
differences between the bill as it
passed the two houses and adjourned.
A decided difference Of opinion
arose over the senate amendment
which would permit Colonel Roosevelt
to lead an expeditionary force to
France, and unless it is smoothed out
the, bill may have to go back to the
two houses for further action.
Other points of difference includ-
ed the prohibition amendment insert
ed by the senate and the age limit of
men subject to the selective draft.
The senate fixes the limits between
81 and 81 and the house between ri
and 40.
Although there was talk last night
OF compromise by which the senate
would get the Roosevelt volunteer
and the house the age
limits as fixed in it's bill, it was said
there was nothing tangible in the
to make this appear more
than a possibility. =
All of the senate conferees are con-
WINGED that the house maximum age
is too high and would be 1oath to give
in on this point, although they are all
anxious to support the action of the
senate and retain the Roosevelt
amendment.

the educational system of the state
