BIIi. FOR DRAFTING YOUTHS Is
DELAYED


Another unsuccessful effort to
pass the War Department bill ex-
tending the selective draft to youths
reaching II years of age since June
S. 1917, was made in the Senate in
the first part OF this week. Debate
on the compulsory universal training
amendment of Senator New of Indi-
ana again prevented II. vote. but the
leaders still hope to dispose of the
bill in time for its operation in con
nectiOn with the next draft.
Senator New accepted an amend
ment offered by Senator Sterling of
South Dakota providing that youths
between II and 2l. subject to the
proposed universal training. would
be required to spend six months in
camp during the two-year training
period.
Senator Fletcher OF Florida urged
the Indiana Senator to withdraw his
amendment. saying that the war
would probably end in six months
and that no men would be secured
for the army under the plan. In de-
cining Senator New said he hoped
universal training would become !,
permanent military policy.
Senator Kirby OF Arkansas oppos-
ed the plan. declaring that the train
ing plan would draw on officers and
supplies needed for the fighting for
ces and impair the Nations war ma
chine.
