Sets Herord for Quick Action in
Passing $3,000,000 War Bill.
The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1.?L'onferenz
in the war army bill, passed for a
second time by the Senate today, probably will not be in for several days
conferences of the Senate and House will
meet tomorrow. They have the task
of smoothing away differences over the
military army appropriation bill, and
they will take up that task first,
bends hope to see both measures
mixed in time to have President
Wilson attach his signature during the
present week.
The Senate passed the war army bill
again today to clear up parliamentary
tangle, without any serious effort to
give the struggle over the volunteer
service as opposed to the selective draft
attitude. Senator La Kollett's substitute,
with a referendum on raising an army by draft to send to Europe, was
defeated.
Principal points of difference between
the houses include the so-called
loosevelt volunteer amendment in
the Senate bill; the difference in the
cases subject to selective draft, the
mate lull specifying those between
forty-one and twenty-seven and the
same twenty-one and forty.  and the
mate bill's army prohibition section.
A compromise is expected on the ace
niits. possibly fixing the minimum at
venty-one and the maximum at
lirty-five. The House Representatives
obably never will accept the roose
!?11 amendment, which would permit :
te former President to raise four in
mtry divisions for duty on foreign
