given credit in new aIlotments of con-

To discuss this proposition, over
which the conferees of the Senate and
House have disagreed. Secretary ia
ker and Provost Marshal General
Crowder will appear tomorrow before
the House committee on military ar
fairs. General Crowder opposes giving
credit for volunteers enlisted and has
prepared a statement attempting to
prove that under the proposed amend
ment the south would furnish the bulk
of the next draft whereas they esu.
mate California, Rhode Island and Ne
vada would not be required to fur
nish a man.
Mr., Dent stated this afternoon in
formally that he believed the secretary
stood with General Crowder. and that
if the secretary would continue so to
stand he would not oppose action by
the House receding from the amend
ment.
IF the secretary" said Mr.. Dent
will ask the committee to instruct me
to ask the House to recede from its
action and thereby indicate the Fres-
ident informally favoring giving credit
for volunteers was in error, why,
will act. and that's all there is to it,"

DENg EXPLAINS BILL

Washington. May l--(Special.)
Representative Dent of Alabama intro.
duced in the House this afternoon u
bill giving the President authority to
increase the size of the army by an
immediate draft of additional million
men and an eventual draft, If such
be necessary, of enough men to make
the army 100000 strong, exclusive Of
those already in service,
Mr. Dent took action without sug-
ghstion of the war department. for the
secretary has not yet made known the
extension in the army which he deems
necessary.
Il am convinced said Mr.. Dent,
that under the selective draft act
the government could not legally in
duet into the army more than 100000
men General Crowder does not agree
with me. The bill. introduced today,
would clear up the question of legal
doubt and make it possible for the
President legally to form an army of
1000. 600 men in addition to those al
really in service. or an army of s.
600, 900 men"
Mr. Dent indicated that If his bill
was favored by the Secretary of War
he would include it in the army
appropriation bill for the purpose OF
expediting its passage.

WILL ACCEPT THE
NEW CONTRACT

The vote by the carmen on the new
contract offered by the Lewiston, Au-
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
had not been announced Thursday
afternoon in Lewiston, the results at
Augusta not having been received
here; but the impression that exist
ed among employees of the road was
that the Lewiston division had vot-
ed to accept the contract, which car
ries an increase Of four cents an
hour
Neither the employees nor Alfred
Sweeney, general manager of the
system. had any definite statement to
make when questioned Friday.
NO report has been made to me-"
said Mr.. Sweeney. Il have been Civ
en- to understand. although not Off
cially, that the men voted to accept
the contract, but / have not been

Regarding the situation in Angus
ia, nothing definite could be learned,
either from carmen who had been
over there or from officials of the
road in that city
There was feeling, however, that
the contract will be accepted over
the entire system.
