Eleven million male citizens from twenty-one to thirty years old lnelu- sive, will be subject to draft by the president of the United States.
 But in order that men under twenty one and over thirty may serve their country if they so desire, the measure provides for the acceptance of volun- teers over eighteen years and under forty years.
 The gigantic number of men subject to draft will not all be called to the colors by any means. The proposed law gives authority to the president to draft as many men as he deems nee essary to fill up the regular army, the National Guard and the eonscription force of 100000 men.
 2,oot ,ooo Armed Men.
 It Is estimated by the war depart. ment that as Il result of the authority conferred and the action to be taken 2OO1 .o0O officers and men will com prise the military establishment of the United States
 Under the new bill agreed to author ity Is given to ill up by draft the reg ular army and the National Guard to war strength. and to raise outside this 100000 men, 50o,0o0 to come as the first quota.
 The war strength of the regular army Is about 290000 men. It has now about 135,oO0 men and is short about 10000 The National Guard has war strength of 625, ,000 men. Ii has now about 125,OO0 and is short about 800 GOO men.
 Therefore. on the first call there can be taken for war service about 655,0o men to fill up gaps in the regular army and National Guard and in addition 5o0,0 GOO as the first quota of the con script army of 100000 men.
 In the first draft It Is possible about 1.155.0o0 men will be taken for active service, leaving authorization under the present bill to call out immedi ateIY aooo0o more for another con script army
 No Place for Roosevelt.
 The action allowing Col. Theodore Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for eign service has been eliminated.
 What the colonel will do now that his pet project is Incapable of realiza lion is question. IL is generally un- derstood that President Wilson Is ab. solutely opposed to the idea of a vol. unteer organization under command of the colonel.
 Pay for enlisted men and non commissioned officers was agreed upon as follows;
 Men now receiving less than S2l per month are increased to $3l per month those who received $2i are increased to $32; men who receive $30, S30 or $40 are increased S6 each; men who receive S45 are increased to $50.
 Army Officers Pleased.
 Army officers received notice of the age limit with pleasure. They had expected higher maximum, though they would rather have had the orig inal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
 new section In the bill authorizes the president to organize and equip three machine gun companies for each infantry and cavalry brigade and four maehine-gun companies and an armored motorcar for each in- fantry and cavalry division,
 An interesting change is that the draft will not be based upon the num- Der of persons available for serv- lee" as first proposed, but upon the population.

 The prohibition provision is exceed ingly drastic The president is au- thorized to make regulations govern Ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors '.in or near military camps. Not only can liquor not be sold or sup piled but 1t will be Illegal for any person to have In his possession any intoxicating or spIrituous liquors at any military station, eantonment, camp, fort post or officers or enlisted mems club.
 It will be unlawful for anyone to sell intoxicating liquor, Including beer. to any officer or member of the military forces while in uniform.
 Likewise, the social evil Is guarded against through the suppression and prevention of the setting up of any houses used for immoral purposes.
 The fact that under the authority of congress the president is author ized to call II .000,0 900 men to the colors Is expected to have q great moral ef- feet in Germany. It is quite true that the entire force he can commander at thIs time will number two and a quarter million. But even this num- Der would constitute n re-enfOrcement which British and French officers say would assure victory if employed in France.
 Could Relieve British.
 England to date has raised some 6.0oe.0oo men. With the exception of couple of million these men are at the front in France, Belgium. Egypt, the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
 What the president and Secretary Baker desire first and above all is to train the officers and men. When they are ready to fight the drilled troops of Germany, then probably they will be sent abroad, and not before.
 But Germany doubtless will watch with increasing anxiety the prepared ness of the American people and will realize that peace will be most desir able and necessary, before they are ready far service fin France.

evening developed today when the
railroad managers hurriedly went
into conference shortly after w. G.
Lee, speaking as president of the
Brotherhood of Railway TTaiRmen,
suggested the step.
The brotherhood chief followed the
example of the managers and alsOH
went into an informal conference.
Lee made his statement in talking
with newspaper men, and the quick
ness with which the railway man
ayers went into conference led to the
belief that it was being favOrably
considered.
From the railway managers con-
ference shortly came unofficial
word that Lees request for President
Wilson to mediate amounted to ap-
proximately the same thing as the
managers suggestion yesterday that
the Goethals eight-hour commission,
appointed by the president, settle the
whole controversy. The opposing
camps were apparently much nearer
together than during yesterdays
peace conference"
Lee today charged disloyalty to
several minor leaders in the broth
erhOod councils and admitted that,
through fear of possible imprison-
ment on conspiracy charges, the
brotherhood chiefs have passed the
strike order to the men by spoken
word. The customary written order
was abandoned, he intimated, be-
cause of the fear that it might be
construed as a violation of the law
fOrbidding interference with inter
state traffic. He would not admit,
however, that a written order would
constitute conspiracy.
Speaking of dislOyalty, he said:

only a small percentage of the men
would go out on strike tomorrow
night. Even the more troubled union
lists insisted that easily p per cent
of the men employed in all four
branches would walk out at 8 p. m.
Saturday.
The first strike blow will be felt at
the following places: The entire Chi
cagO switching district, the St. Louis
switching terminal, the n. Y. Central
Lines Except the Michigan CentraD,
the B. & o., Erie, Atlantic Coast line,
Southern Railway, Louisville &
Nashville and the Seaboard Air Line.
The newspaper trust today filled
their sheets with reports that the
Kansas City and Denver locals,
among others, were opposed to the
strike order and might refuse to walk
out. Delegates from these locals in
sisted their members would comply
with the order.
Pres. c. H. Markham, Illinois Cen
trail, issued, a statement today in
which he insisted his belief that his
employees would not strike. He said
he believed the men on other lines
entering Chicago would remain
loyaI' to their employers. Brother
hood chiefs predicted a sad awaken
ing for Markham.
The managers went into a secret
conference at the Chicago club
shortly after noon. It was admitted
that defense plans were being for
mulated
Washington.-Faced by the grav-
est domestic situation which has
threatened the country in many

employees.
