SELECTIVE DRAFT
BILL PASSES
Both Houses Of Congress Vote In
Favor of Administration Bill
BY Large MaIorities.

Saturday night the Administration
bill to raise war army by selective
draft.
The final rollcalls brought into
line behind the bill many Senators
and Representatives who had fought
for the volunteer system until rout-
ed by decisive defeat of volunteer
amendments earlier in the day in
both houses. The Senate, which
had voted down the volunteer plan
so to Is, passed the bill by a vote
Of 81 to s. In the House the vote
against the volunteer plan was 313
to 100 and that by which the bill
itself was passed was 397 to "a.
AS passed by the Senate the
measures provides for the draft of
men between the ages of 81 and 81
years, while in the House measure
the age limits are fixed at 81 and 40.
This and lesser discrepancies win
be threshed out in conference
this week so that the bill may be in
the hands Of the President as
quickly as possible. The War De-
partment already has completed
plans for carrying it into effect.
Both Senate and House adopted
amendments just before the final
rollcalls which would greatly in
crease the pay of enlisted men
during the war. The House provis-
ion would make their pay $50 a
month and that approved by the
Senate would fix it at 500 month.
The present pay is only SIS.
In the House at the last moment
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Appro-
priations Committee, objected Wig
orously to the appropriation of
$4,000, 100000 carried in the bill for
the expenses Of the new army, and
the section finally was eliminated
entirely. Mr.. Fitzgerald declared
that to place this vast sum in the
hands of the Secretary of War
would make of Congress a "mere
automaton," and promised that if
the section were voted down the
committee would provide funds
promptly in a seperate measure.
Among the amendments adopted
in the Senate was one which would
permit Col Roosevelt to recruit
volunteer force for service in
France. A similar proposal had
been rejected by the House.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Chairman Dent, of the
Military Committee, who had favor
ed the volunteer system, all voted
for the Draft Bill on the final roll
call Republican Leader Mann
aso was recorded in the affirmative,
as was Miss Rankin, who previous
~ had voted with the volunteer
advocates.
Senator Harding's amendment to
the Army Bill designed to permit
Col. Roosevelt TO raise four infan-
try divisions for service in France
was adopted by the Senate SO to 81.
Many Democrats voted for it. A
similar amendment was rejected
by the House Friday.
The amendment does not specific
ally mention Col. Roosevelt, but its
purpose Mas been well understood
and its author referred to the fact
it would permit the former President
to raise troops to go to Europe. 1t
was not discussed at length
The Senate also accepted, SO to
25, an amendment by Senator Fall,
of New Mexico authorizing the
President to call into service three
or more regiments Of mounted vol
unteers for service on the Mexican
border or in any foreign country
the President may direct.

Hats That Look Cool.

The milliners' windows just now are
devoted to hats that look cool. and
suggest outings and the Joys Of sum-
mer time out Of doors. Cold. white,
brilliant black and the spirited hats
that combine these two, dominate all
the displays. There are some lovely
new felts and summer velOurs In pale
sweater" shade that are trimmed with
ribbon rosettes that look like wonder
full, newly discovered flower ferns.
Place Is made for them among the
new arrivals in the millinery shop, but
white and black fill most Of the mil
llnery horizon Just now.
The public Is already hated with
wildly colored headwear for sports
and country wear. so that, even with
an avalanche of white-and-black hats
at the height Of summer, there will be
no dearth of color in headwear.
The three hats shown In the group
pictured here are types of the new
styles. A milan sailor that looks as
cool as u breeze from the sea has q

row brim-binding Of satin. It's trim

grain ribbon with a fiat double bow at

girl who helpedhn to find it again

In all the world but Of how they looked.
Suddenly Sidney felt very tired. She
wanted to 60 back to the hospital, and

room, and lie with her face down on
the bed.

He did mind. He had q. depressed

And his depression grew as he brought

thought. She was grieving about Max.

had for year and a half, and then

woman, without q wrench.

The jabot, having accomplished a
triumph in fashions, after the manner
of conQuerOrs has compelled blouses
to adapt themselves to its way of
thinking. Its way Of thinking is, that
necks should be covered with high,
wrinkled collars of the filmiest and
softest of laces and the finest and air
lest Of net and crepe. And that ample
cascades and ruffles of these dainty
materials shall fall from the high col
lar. The jabot knows no rival in pop-
ularity so far as neckwear is con-
cerned.
A new blouse for midsummer, shown
in the picture given here, accepts the
mandate of fashion and betters its
chances Of success by joining forces
with the jabOt. To do this successful
