 The proposal to require training of boys over 19 and under registration age was in the form of en omendment by Senator New, of Ind. which the senate rejected, 36 to 2G, after de- hate of several days. A number of senators whp favored universal mili- l ,tary training as a peace time policy voted against the amendment.

As adopted the resolution provides that all male citizens of the UniteS i States residing in this country. attain ing their majority since June 5 last shall be subject to registration, un- der regulations prescribed by the pres | ident; shall present themselves for registration on a day proclaimed bS | the president and thereafter shall be 1 liable to military service.
