Floiyd Elder, who some time ago signed a contract for a tryout with the Fort Wayne basebail chub, of the Central League, will noj report this year for a tryout. Joe was unfortunate in taking sick with the schrlet fever about reporting time and consequently was not able to report on the diate specified in the contract and was consequently * dropped from the dub roster. Elder was informed by the manager of the clulb last week that since the club was so far advanced in their training that he would not advise him to report in 'his condition. Owing to the possibility of Company M beng called soon, also, Elder decided that he .might as well drop the matter for this year at leiast.

AGE LIMIT NOW ONLY QUESTION

Draft Feature Accepted By Both Houses of Congress—2l is the Minimum Age Limit. Washington, April 29.—Congress will go to work tomorrow to smooth away differences between the drafts of the war army bill as passed last night by the senaite end house. With the administration's plan of raising the country’s millions of fighting men by selective draft accepted in both houses by overwhelming majorities, it is certain that points in dispute can 'be disposed of in conference so tlnait the measure may go to the president for (his signature before the end of the week.

The parliamentary tangle resulting from the almost simultaneous action by the two houses, requires the next move to be made on the senaite aide. The bill must be re passed there, with unlimited opportunity, under strict interpretation of the rules, for further debate and amendment. It then will go to conference, with the principal task, that of harmonizing the two houses on the maximum conscription age, fixed by .the senate at 27 and the house at 40 years. In conference the chief dashes will arise over the maximum conscription age, the senate’s decisive approval and the house's rejection of the provision designated to permit Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a volunteer force for immediate service abroad, and the senate clause prohibiting liquor .sales near training camps and to uniformed soldiers. Sentiment in the senate is overwhelmingly against conscripting mien over .thirty years. House members are regarded as equally determined to accept nothing less than a forty-year miaximum. Upon disposing of the army bill, senate leaders plan to resume coniederation of the administration espionage measure, with interest centered on its presidential export embargo provirian. Many other food questions are before both houses and the administration bill's to deal with various food supply questions mav be introduced in both houses tomorrow or Tuesday, Get a hot air furnace of the Watson Plumbing Co.

Now that the conscription measure has passed, every township in the county will be registering its men for duty, and work will be begun on the sixteen training cantonments or camps, where (preparations otf forces iwiN start in August or 'September. Sites for the cantonments Have been selected tentatively, and all arrangements made for the concentration of troops assigned to each. Wide publicity is planned, so that no man liable for registration will have a good excuse for failing to respond. On 'a date to be set, every citizen affected by the act will be required on pain of heavy penalty to present himself at the nearest registration place, where the machinery will be provided for classifying the recruita and eliminating those who are exempt. Doubtful cases will be referred to higher authority.

It is presumed that the drafted men will be sent to their concentration camps about the first of August or September.
