The Senate yesterday by an over
whelming vote adopted voluntary
military. training as'part OF the army
reorganization bill. instead of COM
pulsory universal training. as orig
inally proposed. The vote was for
ty-six to nine.
Senator Frelinghuysen's amend
ment providing that all young men
between Is and % shall be eligible
to military training if they wish
il carried with less than a dozen
votes against it.
Democratic Senator'S who opposed
compulsory training voted almost
solidly for the voluntary system.
While the voluntary training
amendment was passed, the army
bill itself has rot yet been voted
upon.
There is a possibility that the
whole army reorganization bill will
be recommitted to the Military Af-
fairs Committee with instructions to
redraft 1t without the training pro-
visions. If that is done, Senators
said, it is unlikely that the bill
can be redrafted in time to be con-
sidered and acted on before the con-
vention recess, at least.

PARALYSIS
Democratic Leader Stricken

Representative Claude Kitchin, Of

OF the House, was stricken with
paralysis yesterday just after de-
livering a speech against the Por-

an end. 1t was his second stroke.
At a late hour last night Dr. Louis
J. Battle. Kitchin's family physi-
clan, declared his patient was rest
ing easily, but admitted his condi-
ton was serious.
Kitchin suffered paralysis of the
left side of his face and right arm
and impaired vocal organs imme-
diately after delivering an impas-
stoned speech to Democrats in the
House to stand united against the
peace resolution. As he neared the
end Of his speech his voice fell to

There were cries of Louder.

could not respond.
For a moment he swayed, then
he stumbled into his seat, the pa

into the aisle. vainly he tried to
pick them up. but his fingers
wouldn't close on them. His lower
jaw sagged, and his face turned pur-
pie.
Representative Pou. a colleague
from North Carolina, hurried to him
and asked what was the matter.
Kitchin said he was exhausted.
The Democratic leader was assist
cd to his office where Representa-
tive Ladislas Lazaro. of Louisiana,
a physician. diagnosed the attack as
paralysis. After his family physi-
clan had been summoned and worked
over him he was removed to his
home at 1412 Kennedy place in an
army ambulance.
DR.. Battle said last night that
he has been treating Kitchin for
six weeks for high blood pressure
and had warned him against any
excitement or overwork until pro-
nouced cured. He said he would
never have given him permission
to make the speech IL he had been
consulted.

Senator Kenyon decided on this
move because of what he terms the

ferences called by President Wilson
to map out any definite course Of
labor legislation. He believes the
labor situation is drifting into more
and more difficulties and cited nu-
merous strikes now pending or
threatened.

There does not appear to be
anything left but 'for US to tackle

Mr.. Hoover was a member of the

long experience as an employer.
Others on the list are also qualified
to give first-hand testimony accord
ing to Kenyon. Pending before the
Labor Committee is a resolution by
Kenyon which would direct the
President to call an Industrial con-
ference including representatives of
labor, capital and the public, which

acted into law by Congress and used
