\ Great Army of I.oafcrs.
Greenwood ,Journal.)

Several persons have told us Of a
gentleman who was in Greenwood a
few days since who stated that he
had met Secretary Josephus Daniels
recently and that the Secretary told
him that there were three million
pool room loafers in the United
States who would be called upon to
serve their country. These men were
the sons OF rich parents, many OF
them never having worked, and were
not now doing anything to make a
living. Others Of them were simply
dead-beats who hung around billiard
saloons and other questionable re-
sorts. The Secretary said it would
be the policy of the government to
get hold Of this vast army of unem-
ployed and put them into the service.
1t was considered good thing not to
take men who were serving the ma
tiOn in business capacities and in this
way contributing their part toward
keeping up the army. Of course
many men of this kind will volunteer
and they will go to the front mo t
gladly.
1t strikes us that this is good pol
icy, and that it should cause every
one to appreciate the fact that his
services are needed by the nation at
| this time, and that he should be will
| ing to give his country the very best
service that he possibly can. The
| man behind the plow who is making
bread for the army is serving his
| country, and If he Is prompted by
the right motive he is just as patri-
| otic as the man who shoulders his
| muskct and marches to the front. In
the War Between the States it was
| not an uncommon thing to hear the
soldier curse the citizen who was not
in the army as shirker and COW
ard, and. yet had it not been for the
| few men who stayed by the stuff
there would not have been bread
upon which to feed the soldiers who
were in the field. This is only en-
| phasiZing the Importance OF the
stress that is now being laid upon
the people everywhere to do all that
they can to produce abundant food
| crops.
If our men everywhere will come
to the front and do their part it will
go a long ways toward meeting the
enemy. We believe that there are no
more patriotic people in the world
than the people Of the United States
name will stand by the colors whcr-
! ever he may be or in whatever capac-
! ity he may be called upon to serve.

DRAFT AGES SET AT al TO 30.
Conference Agreement VIII BE Rati-
fled In Congress at Iiarly Date.

Washington, May 10.-The long
deadlock Of Senate and House con-
ferccS on the selcctive draft military
bill was broken to-day with agree
ment on a compromise measure un-
der which great war army would be
raised by sclective conscription OF
men between the ages Of 81 and 80,
inclusive.
Authorization for recruiting Col.
Roosevelts proposed volunteer divis-
ion for service in France, written
into the bill By the Senate and de-
tended stubbornly by the Senate con-
forces, finally was thrown out on the
insistence Of committeeman repre-
senting the House. In return the
House yielded to the Senate's propo-
sal for prohibition at military posts.
The conference report Is expected
to be given approval by both Senate
and House within a few days and
within two weeks after the Presi-
dent has affixed his signature regis
tration Of those eligible for conscrip-
tiOn will be under way throughout
the country. Some States already
have selected their registration
boards and the War Department has
erected vast and intricate war
machine for assigning and organiz-
ing the conscripts. They will be as
sembled at training camps in Septem-
ber
Satisfactory to Administration.
The compromise bill is understood
to be generally satisfactory to the ad-
ministration and to the army general
star, on whose advice the original
measure was framed.
The most important change made
in Congress was in the age limit,
fixed by the staff at 10 to 25, inclu-
sire. The Senate made them 81 and
~ and the House II and 40. The
ages named in the conference agree
ment arc 2 and 30, inclusive, MAX
ing the draft applicable to all men
under 81 years Of age.
Although there has been no direct
authoritative expression from the
White House regarding the Roosevelt
volunteer PROPOSAL administration
opposition has been inferred from the
fact that no provision for volunteers
was contained in the bill as sent to
Congress from the War Department.
With the Roosevelt proposal the
conferccS also threw out Senate
amendment under which three regi-
enlisted for service on the Mexican
border.
Republicans in the Senate who
have favored giving Col. Roosevelt
authority TO raise and take Ameri-
can troops to France declared to-
night that an effort would be made
on the floor to have the Senate insist
on the retention Of this feature. The
general expectation, however. is that
the conference decision will prevail.
The prohibition proposition as
agreed to excludes liquor, beer and
wines from any military post, but
does not forbid selling or giving
these beverages to soldiers except
when in uniform.
The conferees put into the bill an
amendment giving the President
power to organize and equip for each
infantry and cavalry brigade three
to those comprised in each organiza-
ton Of these units. He also was
given authority to organize one ar
mored motor car machine company
for each division.
