CoNFEREES FAIL
To Reconcile Differen-
ces on Army Bill
Compromise May Settle T. r.
Division and Age Limit

Washington, May 7.-Conferees on
the war army bill in a four hour dis
cussion today failed to reconcile the
differences between the bill as it pass
ed the two houses and adjourned I'M
til tomorrow. A decided difference of
opinion arose over the amendment
which would permit Col. Roosevelt to
take 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 diff
ference included the prohibition
amendment inserted by the Senate
and the age limits of mon subject to
the selectivc draft. The Senate bill
fixes the limits between 81 and 20 and
the House between 81 and 40.
Although there was talk tonight of
a compromise by which the Senate
would get the Roosevelt volunteer
amendment and the House the age
limits as fixed in its bill. it was said
there was nothing tangible in today's
conf. rences to make this appear more
than d possibility.
All of the Senate conferees are con-
WINGED that the House maximum age
is too high and would be loath to give
in on this point. although they are all
anxious to support the action of the
Senate and retain the Roosevelt
amendment.
Discussion is expected to continue
fer several days at least before the
ccnftrees despair of any agreement
and lake the bill back for further in
structlons.
