VOTE ON FOOD BILL
IN SENATE TODAY
Formal Agreement Reached by
Unanimous Consent to Dispose
of Conference Report.
FEW SPEECHES EXPECTED
Opponents Ready to Yield, and
Approval Expected by Over
whelming Majority.

WASHINGTON. August AFTER an
other days debate Of the administra-
tion food control bill. the Senate late
to-day reached a formal agreement by
unanimous consent to finally vote to-
morrow at o'clock on the conference
report. which was approved by the
House last week
Both advocates and opponents of the
legislation said tonight there was no
doubt Of the Senate's approval of the
conference report probably by an
overwhelming majority. Sending OF
the measure to President Wilson for
his signature will be delayed until
Friday. because the House adjourned
to-day until Friday. and the final draft
must be signed by presiding officers
of both houses.
But few speeches are expected in the
Senate tomorrow before the vote
Immediately after its disposition 1t Is
planned to adopt the conference report
on the first administration food BILL
providing for a food survey and ap-
preparations to stimulate production.
FURTHER DISCUSSION
WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING
oiSCuSSlon To-Day, In criticism OF
many features OF the legislation, and
mostly by Senators who expect to vote
for the conferees' draft, apparently re-
suited in conviction among the op-
ponents that further discussion would
accomplish nothing.
The principal speech of the day was
made by Senator Wadsworth, who said
the good things in the bill outnum-
hn
elimination of the provision for a con-
gressional committee to supervise war
expenditures. and predicted that the
81 minimum wheat price-fxing pro-
visions might not operate as its pro-
degree OF publicity Of the conduct of
the war.
The New York Senator denounced
tho delay in the enactment Of the first
food bill as a breaking of faith by the
government with the people.
Some power. some person or some
influence prevented the enactment OF
the so-called food survey bill" he said
INsINCERITY BACK
OF FOOD PROPAGANDA
He added that the impression has
gone out that there was more insin-
cerity odck Oh the 1000 propaganda
than patriotism in order to let some
body In Washington accomplish an am
bition.
Deploring what he termed the pres
ent atmosphere of criticism" that pre-
walls in Congress and throughout the
country, Senator Wadsworth declared
1t was due to the fact that Congress
Is in the dark regarding how the s14,-
oo0.ooo.000 or $1,000. 100000 are to be
spent in connection with the war.
Not only is Congress in the dark
regarding the expenditures. br. the
public is in the dark" he said 1T is
an impossible condition under which
to wage war. This is the peoples
war. 1t is not an administration war.
1t is not a government war. But It
cannot be a peoples war unless the
people are taken into confidence re-
sarding expenditures"

REGULATIONS To GOVERN
ACTUAL MOBILIZATION
Will Show How Drafted Men Are
to Be Assigned In Great
War Army.
TO BE ISSUED THIS WEEK
Some Effort Will Be Made to Meet
Wishes Of Men as to Particular
Branch Of Service In Which They
Will Be Placed.

WASHINGTON. August Provost
Marshal-Gencral Crowder is at work
on the final set of regulations to be
promulgated this week to complete
the organization OF the selective draft
war army. They will govern actual
mobilization of the men selected.
Preliminary figures issued to-day by
the War Department place the total
force of National Guard taken into
the Federal service on August 5 at
1903 officers and 419.S34 men. An
other statement showed 180,766 war
volunteers have been recruited for the
regular service since April J. leaving
about 1000 vacancies In the regulars
at war strength.
These figures mean that approxi-
mately 725.000 men are now under
arms. exclusive of the navy and marine
corps. to be supplemented within the
next few weeks by 687, 900 raised under
the draft bill. or the latter, about
100000 will compose the third element
Of the war army. the new national
army. and the remainder will go to fill
up the regulars and the guard and
their reserves.
REGULARS AND GUARDS
PRACTICALLY FILLED UP
The mobilization regulations will
show how the drafted men are to be
assigned. Already the War Depart
ment has received countless applica-
tions from men certain to be called in
tho first Increment Of the draft forces
for assignment to some particular arm
or branch Of the service. 1t is prob
able that some effort will be made to
meet the wishes of the drafted men
in this regard far as possible when
they are mobilized. 1t can only be
done to limited extent, as the regu-
lars and guard are practically filled
up now. The War Department has
taken over recruiting for the National
Guard as we'll as the regulars, the
entire guard now having no connec-
tion with the States. To-days state
ment says that about half the men
applying for enlistment are within the
draft ages. Those accepted will count
as credits on subsequent quotas Of
their districts.
The statement lays stress on the fact
that the country wants all the men
1t can get who can be spared Mt home.
SURPLUS OF DRAFTED MEN
AS RECRUIT RESERVOIR
1t is regarded as likely that the mo-
bilization regulations soon to be issued
will show that the surplus OF drafted
men is to be used as recruit reser-
voir, and that all the men will be put
under training as quickly as possible.
a recruit depot will be established in
France. from which regiments at the
front will be kept filled up. drafts OF
men from the main recruit depot in
this country being sent over to this
distribution center as needed. In the
Same way. sick or wounded men will
be returned to the front when re-
covered. and steady flow OF recruits
to maintain active regiments at top
fighting efficiency will then be- pro-
vided
The only hint OF the probable method
of mobilization Of drafted men lies In
recent ruling by General Crowder
which shows that tho adjutant- general
| may summon the quotas Of the dis

ty, swept the city of Richmond In yes
terday's primary. nearly equaling the
vote cast for J. Taylor Ellyson and
John Garland Pollard, his rival can
ddates for the governorship. Locally.
the result was never in doubt, al
though the final returns from three
precincts had not been completed when
this paper went to press.
From local standpoint. the most
surprising feature OF the election was
the close fight between Henry L. Tres
non, Commissioner of Revenue, and T.
Peter Howle. clerk in the Office of the
City Treasurer. Mr.. Tresnon was top
ping Mr.. Howle by two votes with re-
turns from twenty-eight Of the pre-

eight candidates. Hugh Stockdell and
Lieutcnant-Colonel William NJ Myers
are practically out of the race. The re-
maining candidate. Howard Colvin, is
forcing Mr.. Jones for fifth place. The
result. however. may be altered con-
siderably by the three missing pre-
cincts.
The total vote In the city will exceed
5000.
Mr.. Davis jumped into the lead with
the announcing of the result from the
first precinct to report. Fifteen pre-
cincts were in before Mr.. Davis relin-
quished the lead in any. Mr.. Pollard
succeeded in capturing three Of the
twenty-six precincts, but Mr.. Ellyson
trailed in all.
Harris Hart was an easy winner over
r. c. Stearnes in the fight for State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The races between the other State can
didates were closer.
J. Herbert Mercer made a runaway
fight against Lawrence Paul for re-
election as Sheriff. John ]. Satterfield
was also returned to office, defeating p.
II. Bowls, who made a strong fight for
the city sergeantcy.

Mr.. Davis appealed to the people Of
