Washington, May 17,—Final
action was taken by Congress
today on the war army bill, the
second of the major measures of
the war.
The Senate by a vote of 65 to
8, adopted the conference report
accepted yesterday by the House.
Those voting against adoption
were: _
Sentors Gore, Gronna, Hard-
wick, Kirby, La Follette, Norris,
Stone and Trammell. Senator
E!gll was excused form voting.
Vice President Marshal and
Speaker Clark will sign the bill
tomorrow and send it to the
White House for President Wil-
son’s approval. It probably will
be law before tomorrow night.
As finally approved, the bill
provides for raising by selective
conscription a war army in incre-
ments of 500,000 men from 21
to 30 years of age. It also au-
thorized, without directing, the
President to raise volunteer
forces which Colonel Roosevelt
desires to take to France, and
greatly increases the pay of all
enlisted men.
Machinery to register and
draft the first 500,000 men al-
ready has been set up by the
War Department Immediately
after the President signs the bill
he will, by proclamation, design-
ate the day for regsitration of
the ten million or more men of
the prescribed ages. Registra-
tion books are in the hands of
State and local authorities, who
are to co-operate in the work.
Brigadier General Cowder, the
Provost Marshal General, ex-
pects to have his complete lists
in Washington within five days
after registering begins. -i--
Then will come thp task of
selecting the first half-million,
exempting the physically unfit,
those with dependents and men
who are needed oh the farms
and industries. The process of
selection probably will be com-
pleted long before the men are
wanted. Secretary Baker said
today that because of lack of
supplies the new army Would not
be called to the colors before
September. ^
Whether Colonel Roosevelt
shall be permitted to raise an
expedition now rests with Presi-
dent Wilson. His views have
not been disclosed, but it is be-
lieved that he probably will post-
pone decision while.the draft
system is being put into opera-
tion.
As during the early stages of
the long dispute in Congress, to-
today’s closing debate centered
upon the so-called Roosevelt
amendment. Colonel Roosevelt
was vigorously attacked by Sena-
tor Stone of Missouri and as
ardently defended by. his friend,
Senator Johnson of Calfornia.
The Senator’s approval of the
measure agreed upon by the con-
ferees and accepted by the
House came late in the day after
attempts to send it back to con-
ference and an earnest appeal by
Senator Chamberlain, chairman
of the Military Committee, for
final action.
The eight Senators who cast
the negative votes were:
Democrats—Senators Gore of
Oklahoma, Hardwick of Georgia,
Kirby of Arkansas, Stone of
mell of
there twice by the House, to
include the R&oaevelt volunteer
provision and further pay in-
creases of enlisted men.
Its chief provisions are:
Raising of armed foreeB by
the selective draft system, im-
posed upon all males between
the ages of 21 and 30 years, in-
clusive, subject to registration
and certain exemptions from
service. • •
Increasing the regular army to
maximum war strength.
Drafting into the Federal ser-
vice of National Guard units.
Raising of an initial force by
conscription /SI 500,000 men,
with additions of 500,000 if
deemed necessary.
Raising, the President sees fit,
of four divisions of volunteer in-
fantry (the Roosevelt amend-
ment ) -
Increasing the pay of all en-
listed men as follows: Fifteen
dollars addition&l monthy for
those now receiving less than
•21, comprising the bulk of the
army, graduated down to $6 ad-
ditional monthly for those receiv-
ing $45 or more.
Prohibiting sale of liquor at or
near army training camps and
otherwise protecting morals of
the soldiers.
In response to a suggestion by
Senator Jones of Washington
that the new selective draft
army help harvest crops, Sec-
retary Baker disclosed that it is
not expected to call out the first
500.000 men before Sept. 1, be-
cause of "the depleted state of
opr supplies,” and that there
would, therefore, be no "ap-
preciable interference with the
labor supply of the country until
that date.”
After stating that the labor
question was receiving serious
attention from all departments,
Secretary Baker wrote to Sena-
tor Jones:
“Owing to the depleted state
of our supplies, it will not be
practicable to call out the first
500.000 men to be raised under
the provisions of the bill now
pending before Congress until
about Sept. 1, so there will be np
appreciable interference with
the labor supply of the country
until that date.
“When these men are called,
they Will have to be continually
trained with the colors until they
are sent aboard. As the period
of training before they are sent
aboard will be, at -the best, all
too short, in justice to the men
it must be intensive and contin-
ous.”
President Wilson signed the bill
when it went to him, and proclaim-
ed Tbuwd*y7 June 5, registeration
day for all men in the United
8tateB who wifi have passed their
twenty-first birthday an June 5 and
who have not passed their thirty-
first birthday on that day. The
President also showed the excel-
lent wisdom of refusing special
privileges to the well known wielder
Of the big stick, on the proper
grounds that only trained army and
navy men should be entrusted with
the boys of the mothers of America
in a bloody conflict on foreign soil.
Notice Farmers!
The Texas Industrial Congress has just forwardeffto us
their second letter on the peanut series, entitled “Planting
Diseases and Pesta,” which reads as follows:
“The peanut may be planted any time after the ground
warms up in the Spring until the end of June, using one and
o/ie-half bushels of nuts in the pot to the acre. Plant in
rows 30 inches apart at intervals of nine to twelve _inches
in the^row, two nuts to the hill. On heavy soils, plant at a
depth of three-fourths to one and one-fourth inches: on light
soils, from one and one-half to ttoo inches. The pods may
be soaked in lukewarm water for a few hours before plant-
ing, but should be planted immediately. Peanuts are said
to be a hard crop on blowing soils, and for this reason cow-
peas should be planted between the rows at the last cdltiva-
tion. Cowpeas tend to prevent the soil particles from blow-
ing away from the peanut plants, and may be turned under
as a green manure at maturity, thus adding to the fertility
of the soil.
“Select gcod seed, otherwise you may fail to get a satis-
factory stand. In mature seed, the inside lining of the pods
is smooth and white, and the kernel is small or shriveled.,
Old, frozen or moldy seed may be told by the taste. In
mature seed the kernel looks bright, and the inside lining of
the pod is marked with brownish spots.
“The principal troubles ifi growing the crop arise from
the activities of moles and gophers. There are two methods
of handling the situation; first, soak the seed in a kerosene;
soap emulsion or in a strychnine solution; second, kill the
pests. „ A combination of methods is desirable. The kero-
sene-soap emulsion, snggested by A. & M. College, is made
by dissolving one-half pound of laundry soap in one gallon of
boiling water, and stirring thoroughly into this mixture
while still hot, one-half gallon of kerosene. Dilute with five
gallons of water and soak the seed in this solution, at luke-
warm temperature, for two or three hours before planting.
The poison solution may be made by using one-ounce pow-
dered strychnine sulphate, one pint boiling water, and one
pint sugar syrup, dissolve the strychnine in the water add
the syrup, and pour over grain to be used as bait, of which
there should be enough to soak up the poison. Place the
mixture in gopher holes and mole runways, being careful to
keep it away from livestock and poultry.
“Carbon bisulphide or “high life” offers a means of get-
ting at the gophers, but one must not come near it with fire.
Place a small shallow vessel containging it in the gopher
hole, stopping up all the entrances. A wad of cotton soaked
in the liquid and stuffed into a mole run is effective.
“The peanut has not so far developed any insect pests of
plant diseases that are a factor to be considered in a com-
mercial production.”
