REGULATIONS FOR
EXAMS RECEIVED

New regulations for the physical ex-
animation of registrants in class one
have been received by the army board
and notices were mailed out Friday to
registrants who are to appear before
the board of physicians next Wednes-
day.
The examining board has always
classed registrants in three classes;
first, those physically fit for general
military service; second, those fit for
limited military service and finally
those positively rejected.
The new regulations will not effect
those already passed but will call for
denomination of those who have been
made subject to limitary military serv-
ice calls by the medical advisory board.
All registrants, placed in the limited
military service call by the examining
board, will be subject to final exam
ination by the medical advisory board.

Approved by Senate

WASHINGTON, May 13.-My vote
Of az to 9, the Senate to-day tentatively
accepted committee amendment to the
Postofflce appropriation bill appropri-
ating 100000 for the establishment of
postal motor routes to transport food
products from agricultural districts to
cities,
Senators King, of Utah, and CALM
ger, of New Hampshire, vigorously op-
posed the proposal, contending this is
no time for conducting experiments and
that every available dollar should be
used in the conduct of the war. SEN
ators Bankhead, of Alabama, chairman
of the Postotfice Committee, and Hard
wick, of Georgia, defended the plan, de-
claring it is already being used in vari-
Gus parts of the country with success.
The Senate also took up considera-
tion of Senator Kings motion to strike
from the bill 100000 appropriation
for conducting experiments in carrying
mail by airplanes, but action was post
poned until tomorrow.

ure, told the House the bill gave no
more real authority to the President
than he has under existing law, but
merely proposes additional powers for
coordination.
Representative Longworth. of Ohio,
interrupted to express the belief that
enactment of the bill would give the
President the right to transfer the
powers of the War Finance Corpora
tion to the Secretary of the Treasury
and to give the Secretary authority to
spend all of the funds appropriated in
that act.
Representative Gillett, of Massachu-
sett,. acting Republican leader, said
he believed it would give the President
the right to transfer the functions of
the Attorney General to the chairman
of the War Industries Board.
Representatives Osborne, of Califor-
mia, and Morgan, of Oklahoma, Repub-
licans, spoke for the bill and appealed
to the House to give President Wilson
all the powers he needs in the prosecu-
tion of the war.
Representative Fess, of Ohio, Repub-
lican, contended the bill should be
amended to exempt the interstate Com
merce Commission and the Federal Re-
serve Board. Representative Walsh,
of Ohio, Republican, argued that the
measure would be unconstitutional, and
Representative Gould, of New York,
Republican, urged an amendment to
create separate aircraft department.

Conferees Agree On
Draft of Men Now 21

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Final steps
toward completion of legislation amend
ing the selective service law were taken
to-day BY Congress. A complete agree
ment was reached by Senate and House
conferrees on the bill extending the
law to youths attaining their majority
since last June.
The dispute over exemption of theo-
logical and medical students from
registration was compromised with the
adoption of g provision exempting them
if actually enrolled when the act is
signed, but requiring registration of
those who enter schools afterward.
Tho provision placing new registrants
at the bottom of the eligible lists was
retained.
The conference report was adopted
after considerable debate, in which
number of Senators denounced elimina-
tion from another bill already passed of
the plan to give states credit for volun-
teers. Senator Johnson, of California,
said elimination of the provision, Pc
nalized enthusiastic states, and Senator
Phelan, of California, said he would
circulate a petition asking President
Wilson not to approve the measure.
Senate Pomerene, of Ohio, said he
would prepare a substitute plan.
The bill changing the basis of draft
quotas from state populations to the
number of men in Glass l was signed
late to-day by President Marshall
and Speaker Clark and sent to Presi-
dent Wilson for his approval. 1t will
be put into effect as soon as signed by
the President, as plans are ready for
making the May draft, already ordered,
on the new basis.
