Conscripion or
Voluntary Service "
Congress Lining Up
For Pending Battle

Washington, April 19.-Friends and
opponents of the administration plan
for raising an army by selective draft
lined up in congress today for the i'm
pending fight over the two systems.
In the house the military COMMITTEES
was ready for the administrator
measure with an amendment provid-
ing for calling volunteers in incre-
ments of SEQ. 900 each and authorizing
draft only when the president decides
the volunteer plan is not adequate to
produce the armies desired. The vol
unteer amendment was adopted in the
committee by O. vote of 13 TO 5 and a
minority report recommending the
selective draft system was drawn for
presentation to the house. An attempt
probably will be made to press the
measure for passage Monday.
In the senate the military con1lnittee
had voted 10 to IL to recommend the
administration bill virtually as it was
drawn by the army general staff. This
was to be reported today and 1t may
be passed by the senate without await
ing house action.
President Wilson was still deter
mined that the selective plan should
prevail and 1t seemed probable that, IL
necessary, he would appeal directly to
the people on the ground that the ma
tional safety depends on prompt en-
actment of the general staff bill.
Without waiting for congressional
action on the army bill the war de-
partment announced plans for the
civilian officers training camps which
will be established May / at fourteen
places throughout the country. Mem

Representative Kahn, ranking Re-
publican of the military committee,
conferred today with Secretary Baker.
He will be administration spokesman
before the house on the question of
army preparation.
It is expected Mr.. Kahn will present
in q minority report from his commit
tee q letter Secretary Baker sent to
Chairman Dent which outlines clear
ly the purpose Of the military ex-
perts to provide places for 750, 900 in
dividual volunteers in the expanded
regular army and naval guards and
their reasons for distrusting any
scheme for taking into the service
complete volunteer units as proposed
by the majority of the committee.
Representative Kahn will have
available, also, a detailed study of
England's struggle with the volunteer
system, made by American military
experts who personally watched the

ports picture the failure of the sys-
tenn under it's greatest test in history
