Settlement of This Question Clears Way for Immediate
 Passage of Army Bill
SEVERAL IMPORTANT
 CHANGES MADE TO
 ORIGINAL MEASURE
One of These Was Auth0ri- zation of S1OO,OOO, ,OOO Air craft Corporation Asked
 by Board

Washington, June 2S.-Im- mediate extension of the pres ent army draft age limits Fl to 31, was overwhelmingly de feated today in the Senate. The amendment proposed by Senator Fall of New Mexico to the $12,O00,000 appropria- tion bill to make the limits 20 and 40 years, and all compro- nises suggested for definite minimums and maximums, were voted down.
 Settlement of this controversy, which has held Senate attention for several days, cleared the way for pas sage of the huge appropriation meas ure, probably tomorrow.
 Besides disposing of the draft age question. the Senate adopted several important amendments to the army bill One authorized organization of the $1o0, 100000 aircraft production corpor- ation proposed by the aircroft pro- duction board as a vehicle for co-ordi- hating aircraft production as ship building is co-ordinated by the ship ping board through the emergency fleet corporation.
 NEW QUOTA BASIS
 Other amendments accepted author- ize the new plan of basing draft quotas on the number of men in Class l. in- stead of upon state populations, and affecting rights of neutrals under the draft law. The Senate previously had adopted the draft quota legislation. but it has been held up in the House
 The amendment affecting neutrals provides that citizens of neutral coun- tries now subject to draft who have declared their intention to become Americanl citizens. shall not be eligi- ble for citizenship if they claim ex- emption from the draft This provis- ion, offered by Senator Hitchcock of N eb raska, was adopted as substitute for an amendment approved by the state department providing for ex- emption from the draft of all citizens of neutral countries.
 HARDWICK AMENDMENT
 The question of extending the draft age limits occupied almost all of the Senate session. A proposal by Senator Harwick of Georgia that the present minimum age limit of 2t years be sub- stituted for the 20-year minimum of the Fall amendment was rejected, 4i to 33, as was one by Senator Weeks Ito make the maximum age 35 years instead of 40 Proposals by Senator Brandegee to reduce the minimum age to IS years and by Senator New to make military training of youths between 20 and 2l compulsory also were defeated.
 HOW THEY VOTED When the vote finally was reached on the Fall amendment. the Senate voted as follows:
 For the amendment:
 Democrats: Johnson of south Dakota and Williams-2.

Amsterdam, March 3.-Premier Won
Seydler explained in the upper house
yesterday the Austrian governments
decision to send troops into Ukraine
in response to an urgent request of
the Ukranian government for assist
ance. He said the request was made
in consequence of events in Ukraine
which threatened to interfere with the
transportation of foodstuffs.
The Nieue Rotterdamsche Company
prints a long interview with a "per-
sonage" who has returned from a
weeks visit in Berlin. He said the
consensus of opinion among German
officials was that the greatest diff
Guilty in arriving at peace negotia-
tions is that Germany dare not or will
not relinquish her military advantage
unless certain of the success of peace
negotiations. He said they agreed
with "his" objections against bomb
ing London, but they said it must be
done for military reasons. He de-
clared Americans in eBrlin enjoy the
greatest freedom.

London, Friday, March 2.-An au-
thoritative statement issued by Reu-
ters, Ltd, said that Japan had offered
no suggestion regarding action which
may be necessary as result of the
Russian situation, but recently asked
the Allied governments expression in
view of the latest developments.
"There has been no proposal. mill
tary or otherwise, by Japan" it said
at is pointed out the Japan didn't
enter the war under terms with the
Allies which would suggest there has
been any question of aggrandizement
in the mind of Japan. If she is re-
quired to extend hostilities, her OBJ
ject will not be aggrandizement The

Washington, March 3.-High gov

was unsafe to attempt to forecast
the probable decision of the United
States, although indications are the
State Department is being steadily
influenced to accept the Allied view
that Japan alone can best deal with
the menace of German aggression in
Siberia.
Officials said conditions are chang
ing so rapidly that new factors are
continually developing, and that the
United States faced new issues almost
daily. From frequent exchanges be-
tween the Eentente governments and
Washington it is understood England,
France and possibly Italy believe an
efficient army and navy is within
reach of Siberia and not otherwise
engaged, and, acting in conformity
with the general agreement, might be
better able to deal with the situation
than in international force.

UPL|FT MOVEMENT
BEGINS TOMORROW
TULANE THEATRE
Christian Organizations Join in I'm
pOrtant Revival movement Which
Will Begin Tomorrow and Continue
for Next Four Weeks-Revival VIII
Be InterdenOminatiOnal.

The most importan movement ever
undertaken in the spiritual uplift of
the community is the series of meet
ings, extending over a period Of four
weeks, which will be held at the Tu-
lane theatre, beginning with a mon
ster union service on Sunday evening,
March 3.
On several previous occasions the
different churches have launched a
series of meetings for their own de-
nominations, but, realizing that
strength united is stronger" and
that the soul welfare of those we
come in contact with should be Of
equal concern to every sect and creed,
the several religious organizations,
comprising the Baptist, Methodist
Episcopal, Presbyterian and Christian
churches, have united in the purpose
of working for the moral and spir-
itual life of FL Centre.
This broadening of the denomina-
tional lines shows a very commen-
dable spirit, and the terrible war that
is embroiling the nations of the earth,
to win which we are giving the youth
and strength of our land, is awaken
ing the serious, thoughtful side of our
natures to the responsibilities of life,
so that it seems the movement for a
religious awakening is most oppor-
tune.
1t is hoped, therefore, that the en-
tire membership of the several con-
gregations interested in the movement
will participate in making the ven-
ture success, by attending the
meetings and by bringing others with
them who may be influenced to lead
the "better life"
The pastors of the several churches
will take turns in leading the meet
ings, and a choir composed of the best
singers of all denominations in the
city will furnish the music. A cor
dial invitation is extended to each
and all to attend these services, which
will be interdenominational
