TN7ASHINGTON, April % %
~ Both houses last night sat
late into the night trying to clear
the way for the passage Of the
Army Bill, providing for the legal
izing Of selectiye drafting. 1t is
practically certain that the mea-
sure win 60 through as the Presi-
dent and the army experts have
approved il, and paving the way
for the creation of an army OF
more than two million men with
in two years.
War department officials stated
last night that they are pre-
pairing to rush through the neces
sary steps as soon as the bill be-
comes a law, for the commence
ment OF the drafting Of men into
the rank and file OF the army.
There will be no delay if the gov
eminent can heIpit, and II is be
lieved that within two years this
country will have perfectly
equipped force Of not less than
two million trained fighters.
The department last night sent
out instructions TO all officers in
command OF recruiting stations or
parties directing them 10 begin
Immediately preparations for the
enlistment Of 100000 men. These
men are to be enlisted for the
duration OF the war.
1t is believed that the measure
will pass today, and with large
majority in both houses. Indeed
its advocates last night were con-
fdent that their own estimates
would be exceeded, following a
statement issued by Congress
man Mann, the Republican house
leader, who has been steadfastly
refusing to commit himself re
garding the bill. Yesterday az,
ternoon he declared for it. add,
ing that after investigation he
was satisfied that it was the best
measure that could be adopted un-
der the circumstances.
The debate in the senate continued
last night and win be resumed this
morning when that body meets. II was
agreed after n conference yesterday
morning that the measure should come
up for a vote this evening in the upper
house. and IL may be rushed through
before that time. Senator Jones Of
Washington, spoke yesterday in favor
Of the seleetiye draft plan. The debate
in the house was concluded at two-thir-
" o'clock yesterday morning but no
vote was taken, IL having been agreed
that short time would be allowed yes
terday for speeches summing up the
arguments for volunteer and for seiec-
tive draft. TX
AT noon the house met for these
summing.up speeches.
The fight for the volunteer system
was handled in the final speech by s.
Hubert Dent of Alabama, Democrat.
He IL chairmsn of the military affairs
committee. On the other side, favor
ing the selective draft plan, is Julius
Kahn of California, ranking Republi-
can member of the same committee.
Subsequent speeches were limited to
five minutes and there is hope by house
leaders that a vote win be reached
early today.
The bill probably viii be ready for
The signature Of the President by the
middle Of next week.
