The French desire it.
The British are non commital, but
intimate that the United States can
do more for the allies just now with
money and food.
INCLINED TO BRITISH VIEW.
The Washington administration in
clines to the implied British view. II
is possible this point will be settled
by big immediate loans to France and
England, concentration on the produc-
ton and supplying Of food to the al
lies and the dispatch Of railroad. tele-
phone, telegraph and other technical
experts from America to supplement
those of the allies at the front.
The food and financial questions are
practically settled in their broad ap-
plication, awaiting only the official
approval of the French, English and
American war commission heads.

on CONSUMPTION, Speaker Clark this
afternoon formally announced in Il
speech from the floor that he would
vote for the Dent bill to try out the
volunteer system first in raising an
army.
Two things are true beyond a
shadow of doubt" Clark said. For
q member of congress to differ with
the president is not pleasant. On the
contrary, it is painful, especially when
the president is one whom you have
helped elect"
Congress forces fighting against a
drafted army took new lease on life
when Clark joined their ranks.
But for the second time in the long
five years sincehe was defeated by
Wilson. the speaker took the floor
against the president. The first was
ON free tolls.
Clark reviewed the history of the
volunteer system and declared 1t the
best way to raise an army.
Clark spoke with great elaboration
and emphasis. He was many times
interrupted by hand clapping, while his
several oratorical climaxes provoked
wild cheering.
