Speculation as to Source.

Senator Chamberlain. chairman of
the military affairs committee. denied
any knowledge of the program as
outlined in the article Of Mr.. Lawrence.
He pointed out. however. that DR.. c.
R. Mann of the University of Chi
cago. a member. of an advisory COM
mittee on education and special in
struction of the War Department, had
appeared before the committee and
discussed the education of the young
men.
He said the story might have ema-
mated from that committee. or the
President, or the War Department.
He said he had no information as TO
its source.
OF -er senators declared there was
no authority in law for such pro
ceedure. But Sonator Smoo. read
from the conference report on the
pending man-power bill, which author
ICES the Secretary Of War to contract
with institutions of learning to have
young men drafted into The military
service receive instruction. He said
that while the proposed law did not
give the governn as power TO take
over the colleges" it undoubtedly did
give authority 20 contract ror the edu-
cation Of young men at government
expense.
Senator Watson said the article
said that the government already had
contracted with 400 colleges. Senator
Chamberlain said, since the bill had
not yet become a law. he did not
think that the government could have
done any such thing.

House Adopts Conference Report.

Without a record vote the confer
ence report on the man-power bill
was adopted by the House last night,
too late to get it to the Senate.
This action was taken after consid-
cradle debate regarding the giving of
age the same rights of entry under
homestead and mineral entry laws as
those over twenty-one years. There
was also considerable dissatisfaction
expressed over the elimination OF the
amendment to draft the subjects of
co-belligerent nations. Representative
Mccullough. author of the amend
ment. called upon the House '-to stand
pat and stop temporizing with this
question" He made a motion to send
the bill back to conference with in
structions to the conferees to insist
upon the adoption of the amendment.
The motion was lost, lis to 36.
Matter Taken to the President.
President Wilson was told yester-
day by Director General McAdoo that
demands that deferred classification
be given most railroad employees. and
that those actually taken into Army
service should be conserved for mill
tary railways service in France TO
lessen the drain on railroad personnel
in this country. Mr.. McAdoo con-
ferred with the President moro than
an hour.
The railroad administration hopes
to have Provost Marshal General
Crowder establish a rule providing
that the request Of a railroad execu-
tive for deferred classification Of an
employe shall act automatically to
prevent immediate drafting Of the
employe.
The railroads program for employ
ing thousands Of women to replace
men taken into the Army will be di-
rected by Miss Paulding Goldmark of
New York. who today was appointed
manager of the railroad administra-
tons women's service section.
