VOTE ON DRAFT DUE

BELIEVE THAT AMENDED BILL WILL PASS CONGRESS. End of Debate Over Administration's Plan for Enrolling Army by Conscription Is Hear. -.

Washington, April 27.—The end of debate over the plan for enrolling an army by conscription is in sight. Wepried by the struggle, 'both senate and house reached agreements which indicate that before the end of the week the conscription bill will have passed both houses and, with certain amendments inserted by the senate, be in the hands of eon- ’ fereeS who will experience little diiti- I culty, in reaching an agreement. The measure ' > expected to be placed before the president for his signature by -May 1.

It Is admitted now by the supporters of the volunteer system that the cause of conscription will prevail. This is true in both houses. The majority in the house of representatives is variously calculated at from 60 to 120. In the senate. Chairman Chamberlain of the committee on military affairs, whose name the pending measure bears, is assured of more than 60 votes, or practically two-thirds of the senate.

An* agreement has been reached in the upper house to begin voting on amendments at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. In the course of this piecemeal consideration of the measure, speeches will be limited to ten minutes by the proponents of the amendments and five minutes for replies. The senate will vote upon the bill itself not later than midnight Saturday. The agreement in the house leaves debate unlitnited.TTßuT""at noon today Representative Kohn will close the debate in favor of conscription and Chairman Dent of the committee on military affairs will close the argument in favor of volunteer methods. Immediately after these two speeches have been delivered the house in committee of the whole will begin on the specific terms of the measure. The debate will be conducted under. the five-minute rule and changes desired by the administration will be in- j troduced and forced into the bill. The' debate lacked in spectacular interest.

Indiana News Tersely Told

Governor Goodrich, by proclamahas set aside Monday, May 7, as Lafayette day in Indiana. This is in tribute to a man who, during an eventful life, championed the cause of liberty in two hemispheres.

The call is to the people of the Hoosier state to rise and,. with fine generosity, repay in money and service the great debt the republic owes France for having given this country Lafayette. France needs help now. T-f:.. ■
