three cheers for Mr. Balfour and the
crowd roared a willing response,
while the British minister smiled and
bowed. . Later he drove to the French

enreserited. but that Great Britain,
having pooled its resources with its
allies, is called upon to supply food

ation is more Dressing. It is pos
ible that betore Mr. naitour leaves

CONSCRIPTION BILL
DP IN BOTH HOUSES
Senator Weeks Says People
Will Demand Draft Soon as
They Understand Facts.
DENT OPENS DISCUSSION
Washington, April 23. Represen
tative Lunn, democrat, and formerly
socialist mayor of Schenectady, N. Y
urged conscription in his speech in
the house during discussion of the
army bill this afternoon. Mr. Lunn
said that in voting to give the presi
dent all the power and resources of
the country for carrying out the war
he and others took that action literal
ly and without eauivocation.
Representative Lunn aroused laugh
ter and applause by suggesting mat
an amendment be written into the
bill making it necessary to give sol
diers already in the service a second
bpportunky to enlist in order that
their services might be wholly demo
cratic. Loud applause greeted his re
marks. Representative Eagle of Texas in
terrupted Lunn to say that nis ornce
was being flooded with protests
against conscription signed by the
same persons who a year ago were
pleading the cause ot Germany.
Mr. Dent Opens Debate.
The house bill, as reported by a
maioritv of the committee, provided
for the volunteer enlistment with con
scription only as a last resort and the
fight for this measure was led by
Chairman Dent ot the military com
mittee, whose supporters felt sure
that they would make a good show
ing. A strong -element in the house,
however, balked the selective con
scription plan advocated by the army
general staff and recommended by the
military committee minority, led by
Representative Kahn of California, a
republican.
In the aenate the bill under consid
eration was the general staff's meas
ure. In opening the senate debate Sen
ator Weeks said the people demand
conscription or would demand it if
thev were correctly informed.
When the house began debate no
limit was fixed, but it was agreed
that it should run on today until 6
o'clock.
Chairman Dent of the military com
mittee, who favors a call for volun
teers while the conscription registra
tion machinery is being made ready,
opened the debate.
Mr. Dent explained that the bill as
amended by the committee gives au
thority to raise an army.ot practic
ally 1,000,000 men and "safeguards the
American birthright to volunteer for
service in defense of the country."
The president, he said, is still au
thorized to proceed with arrange
ments with the selective draft and
has absolute authority to determine
on which system the army would be
raised. .

Correct Corsets for Misses
Mothers should not overlook or neglect their
daughter's corset requirements. It is essential that
the first corsets should be correct. It is well to
teach the young miss that her health depends tp
a very great extent upon the corset, so that too
much care cannot be exercised in selection. Sev
eral new models are ready for showing. Our ex
pert corsetieres will be pleased to assist in a
choice should you so desire.
