Washington, April 11.-President
Wilson, in a conference with Speaker
Champ Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchin at the capitol today insisted
on the terms of the administration
plan for raising a large army on the
principle of selective draft. At the
same time, however, it was learned
that the war department virtually
had decided on plans under which
opportunity would be given for ap-
proximately 100000 men to volun-
teer for service for the term of the
war.
The net result of the new plans
would be to make the total national
guard and regular force to be or
gani2ed first independently of the Sc
lective draft plan approximately 724,-
600 men, making room for the
absorption of half a million volun-
teers. No attempt to enlist men to
accomplish this will be made how
ever, until congress has acted and
authority is granted to enlist such
volunteers for the duration of the
war only.
Only System Possible.
The president made it clear that
1.-THE administration army plan had
been formulated only after it had
been decided that it was the only
way to meet the demand for a great
and efficient fighting force.
Both Speaker Clark and Mr.. Kitch-
in told the president that much SEN
timent existed in congress against the
plan. principally on the ground that
draft should not be resorted to un-
til an effort had been made to raise
an army through volunteers.
Careful reconsideration of the
terms of the existing national de-
fense act is responsible for the con-
templated change Of the admins
tration's policy in regard to the mo"
bilization of the national guard for
war. Officials now think the law
grants the states the right to organ
ze additional guard units up to the
full limit of 500 men to u congress
sonal district. IT that view is sus-
tanned by army legal authorities,
such additional regiments as any
state may decide to form will be
recognized by the federal govern
ment.
10000 National Guardsmen.
The effect of this change would
be to make it possible for the ma
tional guard to have a full strength

the morning of Memorial Day, May 80,

the details are not known, but enough
has been learned to put the authorities
thoroughly upon their guard.
It seems that last year a similar at
tempt was made, but was properly
cared for and no damage resulted: this
year the officials were on the alert for
the first symptoms.

the vicinity. clad in unfamiliar uni
