 FORECAST BY VOTE

(Continued from Page One) around the President that the commits sions powers shall be taken away.
 T know that movement is now on foot to stop the work of valuation of railroads which the commission directs, he said, and know that influences are now at work to this end"
 This was voted down, 42 to B.
 The same alignment was made on the amendment for exemption of the inter state commerce commission, except that Senator Borah voted with the majority and a few senators who had voted pre- yiously were absent from the chamber.
 DEBATE WAS SPIRITED
 The tide of today's debate, which was as spirited as any since the bill was first brought before the Senate April ?, sung apparently with increased force in favor of the bill Senators Colt, Mclean and McCumber made addresses supporting the measure, and declared that they felt no apprehension that the powers conferre in the bill would be abused by the Presl ident. fear of which had been expressed by some opponents. Senator McCumber, however, voted for the amendments.
 Before the final vote on the bill is taken next week, it is planned to have the Senate vote again on the amendments dfeated today as well as on other pend- ing amendments proposing express linn itations of the Presidents authority to co-ordina ting government agencies. Sen ator Dverman, however, as a result of today's votes expressed confidence that th.. measure would be passed in the form the President has repeatedly insisted upon,

CONFEREES REJECT HOUSE AMENDMENT
 ID DRAFT MEASURE
Committee Decides Against Giving States Credit for Volunteers Already
 in the Service

Washington, April 27-Because or the unusual situation it would produce, sen ate and House conferees today decided to report a disagreement on that clause of,the draft bill inserted by the House providing that credit be given states TOT their volunteers The bill would base ouotas on the number of men in Class i instead of the total registration as at present.
 The House will be given an opportunity to decide whether to insist on or ellm- nate the clause.
 pr-,Sst Marshal General Crowder re- norted that three states-Catifornia, Ne ytda and Rhode Island-would not be required to furnish any men in the new call if the House clause is retained while other states would be called on to furnish large percentages of their men in Class 1-Louisiana with a maximum of 76 per cent.
 General Crowder's report showed that in furnishing the s0o,000 drafted men to be called olt this year these states would have to furnish, if volunteers were credited. the following percentages oi their registrauts now in Class 1:
 Louisiana, 7e: Mississippi, 6S; Ar<an- sas, 67 Alabama, 65; Florida. Georgia and South Caroline, 61 each; North Caro- lima, 8: Kentucky, 57; Virginia, 54 Tennessee and Oklahoma, 53 each, and Texas 27

Uniuersal Military
 Training Is StiH
 Opposed by Baker
Secretary Has Said Nothing Since His Return From Flu rope to Indicate He Has Changed His Opinion. 6,000OOO Men Under Arms and Avail
 able Under the Present Law
By HUGH w. ROBERTS.

Washington, April 27.-tSpeciaiD Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War. has not intimated to Congress what amplification in war legislation which,
 as q result of his visit to Europe, he
 is said to have been convinced is nec- cssary. Hearings the army apprO-
 priation bill were completed by the House committee militar yaffairs February 6. Further action was post
 pOned on request of the secretary until
 his return from Europe.
 Since his return, he has said nothing
 It is believed that the secretary is con
 vinced that existing machinery will sput
 at the disposal of the government as
 many men as 1t can train and care for
 and more than it can transport in req sonable time. It is, therefore, evident that he is still opposed to universal training, and it is strongly indicated that he will oppose raising the draft age to cover men of forty years.
 BIG ARMY PLANNED At the present time, the army appro- priation is tentatively written to care for by July 1. this year, 2,10o,000 men, and
 by July l, 1919. 2,9oo,ooo According tc this estimate. it is planned by the wal | department to have an available army | one year from date of approximatelS | 100000 men. An army that large, ac | cording to statement of General Nc l Cain, could be transported within a yea 1 were ships available. His intimatior l was that ships were not only unavail able, but that were they available, nor properly trained men than that the mum | ber outlined could not be transported l The atti,-de of the Wa department il I this respec. will be censured by thos | congressmen who are clamoring for al | immediate army of 100000 or 100000 men-those who believe that unless al | army tkat large be raised Germany wi | win the war.

The Telegraaf, under the heading, If It Must Be- recalls the German attack on Belgium and says:
 If Holland now is to be placed at the same cross roads as Belgium, then the government may be certain that the na- ton will rally around it in the hour of danger. Everyone will ardently hope that this cup may be spared us, and it
 is almost unthinkabe that the circle which has branded Gains mark on the forehead of the violator should be re- peated against us? But, If It must be-
 our motto will be, They Shall Not Pass, neither they nor their necessities. We
 want peace, but we fear dishonor more than war. Holland will remain herself :" London, April 27.-Dispatches from Hol- land this afternoon say that although, according to The Hague VaGerland, the question of customs difficulties of which Germany had complained and the use of the Limburg railway which Germany de-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-28

manded, have been settled in her favor, Germany still maintains her ground on the sand and gravel question. Germany has expressed much annoyance at the stoppage, by Holland of Rhine traffic and the fact that Holland negotiated with the United States regarding the cession of Dutch ships before their seiz-
 ure and concealed these negotiations from Germany.
 As a result, says a dispatch from The Hague to the Amsterdam Telegraaf, the feeling there has never been more de- pressed. There is an impression in some qua rters in Holland that so long as Won Kuehlmann remains German foreign sec retary Holland will not be pressed to the extreme. But others, who dispute this on the ground that while Von Kuehlmann and his party are sincere they nave llt- tic influence in the conduct of German affairs, the real rulers being the military
 party, which has it's eyes on the Dutch north seaports. The Vaderland urges the Dutch premier to form national cab- net

Representative Dent, of Alabama chairman of the House committee on military affairs, opposes legislation cal culated to raise, for moral effect only, more than could be equipped, trained and transported within a reasonable 2nmber of years. He opposes universal military training during the war because this government has not machinery and officers to care for an army of peace. He opposes raising the age limit of the draft because in his opinion, enough men are already available, and the or dering under arms of all men up to 40 years of age, would not only disturb, but in all probability would wreck in- dustry without such an extreme being necessary.
 SIZ OF PRESENT FORCE
 The force of the United States at pres ent under arms in France and the Unit ed States. according to an estimate o1 MT. Dent. is 100000 strong. The firs classification now subject to draft vii add an additional 1,2250o0 men reaching 21 years of age next year. All subjeci to service will number 100000, of whom 750, 600, the war department estimates will be found physically available. Reg istered men of the United States not ye drafted number 6,0ooc00. According to th department estimate, 2,000,000 will no | claim or secure exemption.
 SIX MILLION MEN READY | According to these figures, the Unite | States has at present already 6,00O,0( men under arms and subject to bein l inducted into service. The war depart
 ment, it is strongly intimated, oppose
 new legislation to increase the number ( men available Mir Dent also oppose | such legislation, and the chances al that it will not be enacted.
 | Within two years from date, the Uni
 ed States, according to every estimat
 can draft, train, equip transport an lcare for in Europe more than 6,000,O
 men.
