Wilson insists on
CONSCRIPTION NOW
WillNot Permit Compromise
While War Department
Calls for Men
SENATE MAY REACH
VOTE BY TOMORROW
BY ROBERT J. BENDER
United Press staff Corresponder

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The Ad-
ministratlon is determined that poll
tics shall not defeat the conscmption
army bill. which army men say is alb
solutely vital to the safety Of the ma
ton.
The President will stand for no
compromise. He favOrs the Chamber
lain bill which provides selective draft
without modification and will fight
for the passage of that measure.
II is his purpose to get the bill
through the Senate. then put the is
sue squarely before the House. II
appears inevitable now that the bill
VIII be thrown into conference before
final action is taken on il.
The House next Monday will vote
on its bill. which includes volun-
teer feature.
By the terms of the measure the
President would be authorized TO call
for 100000 volunteers. and if that
failed, to resort to selective draft
or if the President desired. he could
put the draft system into effect inn
mediatelv and issue no call for volun-
teers. The plan shifts the whole re
sponsibility for any conscription onto
the President wholly.
The Senate may reach a vote on its
bill, which is only slightly changed
from the one the President wants, be-
fore tomorrow night and the Admin
istration feels no doubt as to its pas
sage in the upper house.
While respecting the individual
viewpoints Of those who oppose Sc
lective draft. President Wilson is un
! derstood TO feel that this is not ar
opportune time for prolonged dis
cussion of details when it is vitalll
essential to the welfare of the natior
} to raise an army at once.
For that reason it appears likel.
there may soon be something in th'
nature of a blast from the Whlt'
! House to jar Congress into action.
Tho President is expected TO resor
to his usual method of putting up q
the country for support Questions OF
which he and some members OF Con
gress differ.
Nothing is contemplated along IN
lines OF his "wilful twelve cxcoria
tion hut when he speaks 1t will be q
let the country know that those re
sponsible for delay on the army on
are ieopardizing the safety of tn
country.
With completion Of work on IN
army bill in sight, the emergency wa
program is nearing its end and Cor
gress is again talking adjournment.
Many believe now that the sessio
can be ended by June 1. Leaders
both parties are sounding out men
