Only Two Minor Changes
Remain Before Congress
Reconyenes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.--Enactment
by Congress and transmission to Presi-
dent Wilson tomorrow of the man.
power bill, broadening the army draft
age limits to include men of eighteen
to forty-fve years of age appeared as
sured late to-day when the Senate and
House conferrees unexpectedly reached
a complete agreement on all important
disputes after striking out the SEN
ate's "work or fight" amendment.
Adoption of the conferrces' agree
ment by both Senate and House i'm
mediately after they reconvene at noon
tomorrow was regarded by the con-
ferrees as certainty. Only disposal
of two minor amendments and drafting
of the formal agreement remain to be
done tomorrow before the assembling
of the two houses.
The "work or fight" proposal was re-
garded as the only dispute likely tn
cause delay, and the Senatc's managers
consented to it's de]etion from the ball
largely to expedite its enactment. Some
complaint is expected from the Senate
majority favoring the "work or fight"
clause, which organized labor repre-
sentatives have vigorously opposed and
the House voted down. but adoption
tomorrow of the complete conference
report by both Senate and House was
regarded as foregone conclusion.
Two Amendments Left
The amendments left for the final
conference early tomorrow were those
of Senators Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
and France, of Maryland, respectively,
providing that registrants need not
claim exemption or deferred classifica-
ton, and for badges or insignia for
men deferred for industrial or other
service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
who opposes the Penrose amendment
because it would compel revision OF
millions Of printed questionnaires, and
thus delay the new draft, will meet
tomorrow with the conferrees.
In disposing Of other differences be-
tween the Senate and House bills, the
conferrees adopted the House plan fol
government education of soldiers
which authorizes their detail for i'm
mediate technical and special training
under plans already made. The Senate
managers yielded on this difference anc
agreed to elimination Of the Senate
amendment guaranteeing free education
for soldiers and sailors after the wal
up to a maximum period Of two years

HOW Germans Treat
American Prisoners

Private Rossiter in the May Farm
and Fireside says:
THE fleas had been so bad in the
Hamelin prison camp that eight
large abscesses had formed on my
legs The heat of the day and the
continual rubbing OF my long shoes
irrHated the sores. so they became
very painful. Standing in open cans

He refused 10 listen to my cries for

again asked for water, which made

TO mobilize them until we first mo.

The council Of national defense dis

For only he can destroy who can

fore stands an open door of uppor-
tunity TO become nclghborhood

terms which preserve their self re-

The schoolhousc used as a neigh

public service II seeks to create
the neighborly spirit essential for
concerted action. The means en-
pioyed are various-Rames. folk
dances, dramas, chorus singing
which require the subordnation of
self to cooperative effort, dinner
parties, where the people break
bread In celebration OF their com
munion with each other as neigh

ret them to work not only develops
the individual but enriches the com
