DRAFT WINS BY
BIG MAJORITY
IN BOTH HOUSES
Senate Vote Is 81 to 8 and House
397 to "a.
1T. RS" DIVISION APPROVED
Upper Branch Of Congress Votes In Fa-
Vor of Sending American Troops to
the Firing Line in France
Age Limit Set at 27.

Washington, April 30.-Conscription
was decreed by congress on Saturday
night as the military means to en-
ploy to bring the imperial German gov
eminent TO terms and to end the war.
Both houses spent the day and eve
ming in pArfecting the bill. On final
passage the measure went through by
the following votes:
House-For, 397; against, "a.
Senate-For 81; against, 8.
The result established beyond doubt
the determination of congress not to
resort TO the old method of volunteers.
The house went so far Friday in
Its opposition to volunteers as to re-
fuse 20 adopt provision under which
Colonel Roosevelt might offer his fa-
nous division for service.
The senate gave approval to the
Harding amendment which will per-
NIT the president to accept the Roose-
Welt command.
Those Against Draft.
Here were the votes taken before
final action which sealed the doom of
volunteering:
For. Against.
Rouse ..'.'s.......s..s. 10 zSt
House .................l O9 5l5
Senate .................. Is 69
The first house vote substituted the
administration bill for the Dent vol
Nnteer-conscription plan.
The second house vote adopted the
motion of Congressman Kahn, in
charge of the administration fight, 20
strike out all volunteer provisions
from the Dent measure.
The senate vote was, directed against
the Mcclellan amendment authorizing
the president to raise a force of 500,-
600 volunteers for service in the
war.
Excitement In House.
Tense excitement prevailed in the
house during the lengthy session, and
particularly when the final vote was
taken. To the establishment of the
members and the crowded galleries,
Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchin recorded themselves in favor
of the passage of the measure.
Here is the list of members who
voted against the bill:
Alabama-Burnett, Hudleston.
alifornia-Church, Hayes, Nolan,
Randall.
Colorado-Hilllard, Heating.

The senators who voted against the
CONSUMPTION bill follow:
Democrats-Gore, Hardwick, Kirby,
Thomas. Trammell-5.
Republicans-Borah. Gronna, La
FOllette-3. (Vardaman excused from
yoting.)
Senate Approves T. r. Plan.
But while the senate and house
manifested Individually their purpose
to adopt CONSUMPTION, the national
sentiment In favor Of authorizing Col.
Theodore Roosevelt to go to France
proved so strong that the Harding
amendment TO this end was adopted
in the senate.
The house on Friday rejected the
proposal by a vote Of 10 to LOG. The
senate on Saturday night, however,
adopted it by a vote of So to 81. The
conference committee now will have
to determine the question of whether
or not any volunteers whatever shall
be accepted.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER

On Christmas eve. Dear Savior,
May the din of battle cease,
And into each heart of friend and foe
May enter the Prince OF Peace.
The Prince who spoke to the angry
seas
And the winds and waves were still,
The Prince at whose birth the angels
sang, -
Peace on earth to men good will"
And into each heart, Dear Savior,
On Christmas eve we pray,
On the firing line, in the hospital
wards,
In home lands far away:
Come in, oh Christ, our Redeemer
Who bore all the sins of men,
Come in and abide, then strife Will
cease
And the reign Of Peace begin" this
we pray.
