 so PREDICT
5 MINUTE RULE IN HOUSE
DsIe Senate Has Definitely Committed Itself to Final Vote on the Bill Before Midnight Saturday.

Washington, April 2s.-The war army Dill will be passed by congress before the present week ends and unless the leaders in senate and house are far afield in their predictions. 1t will go through with the se1ective draft fea- ture. the object of bitter attack, vir- tually5 as it came from the war de- partment.
 E. Before Midnight Saturday.
 The senate definitely committed it. before midnight Saturday The house. sitting far into the night. was determined to vote tomorrow if possi- ble. The senate is expected to put through the bill by a majority of large proportions and to defeat the proposed to call for volunteers by a ma jorfty of at least fifteen. In the house the ad- ministration forces are confident the volunteer advocates will be routed by the volunteer substitute out of the way the majority for the bill is expected to be overwhelming.
 Sixteen Senators Yet to Speak.
 When the senate recessed tonight there were sixteen. senators on the list to speak before vote is taken. and Majority Leader Martin made the meeting hour tomorrow ten o'clock to give all an opportunity to be heard. The house sat late to clear up general debate except for the closing state ments of Chairman Dent of the mili- tary committee. heading the volunteer champions. and Representative Kahn ranking republican member, directing the fight for the administration plan.
 When general debate is closed in the house discussion under the five min ate rule will begin. Former Speaker Cannon will be among those talking five minutes for the volunteer system. Republican Leader Mann. who favors conscription. probably will not speak, nor will Democratic Leader Kitchin, who is understood to oppose the draft.
 Stone Supports conseription.
 Senators Hale. Beckham, Myers and bill today and Senator Sherman oppos- ed it. Senator Stone. who concluded the days debate in the senate. de- clared that although he opposed the declaration of war. he would vote with the president for eonscriptfon. He said he believed. however. the bill should be changed to make the ages of those subject to draft 21 to 40 instead of 19 to 25. and.that it should contain a provision that the president when peace is declared must give up his authority to rNise an army under it.
 We are needed on the battle line of Europe. the Missouri senator con- tinued. There must be no halting at home The president thinks the time is past for experiment. I agree with him. It is Imperative that we act at once and get 4Nady with the least possible delay. am for that plan which will most certainly, speedi- ly and efficiently meet the demands of the hour. Pass this bill and he will forthwith enter upon a plan that will not be experimental; its success Is as- sured from the beginning"

examination passed the young man
preliminarily. This morning OBrien

out funds O'Brien started out to walk.
and he took four days to make the
trip, in easy stages. O'Brien claims to
have served his apprenticeship at black
smithins. and to be able to shoe horses.

this country. and every American citi-
zen who Is worthy Of the name should
do his part in helping to fill up our
ranks. There is no time to lose. II
the army is called, we want every unit
to go out fully manned with trained
men. There is a prevalent idea among
civilians that the only time to render
service to your country Is In time or
war;" Also there has been 80 much
talk to the effect that we can rise up
in our might over night and send forth
an invincible army, and some people
believe It, Such ideas are to be de-
plored and should be dispelled at once.
Men for the army must be trained be-
fore they can render their country eff
fcient service. 1t Is to be regretted
that some parents not only use their
influence to prevent their sons from
-enlisting, but in many cases refuse to
sign the age certificate required..It is
the patriotic privilege Of parents to
mculcate in their sons love ofcountry
and that his first duty is to his couns
try" and those who fail to do this
clearly do not do their duty. 1t is
urged on all leaders of community
thought to consider seriously the criti-
cal situation, the imperative need Of
the army, the necessity to be prepared
to act quickly, and cooperate with re-
cruiting officers in putting the facts
squarely before the people.
