Washington, March 30.—The resolu-
tion extending the selective draft to
reaching the age of 21 years since
first registration
day—was-passed laBt night by the sen-
ate without a record vote after a fu-
tile attempt had been made to amend
it by a provision for training youths
from 19 to 21 years. It is estimated
that about 700,000 men will be added
to the registration this year by the
legislation which is one of the pieces
of legislation on which the war de-
partment is waiting before announc-
ing plans for the next draft.
It now goes to the house with the
b$Jl to base draft quotas on the num-
ber of registrants in class 1 instead
of poptjA^hm, another of the adminis-
tration measures already passed by
the senate.
of senators who favor
universal military training as a peace
ttae policy voted against the amend-
ment. As adopted the resolution pro-
vides that all male citizens of the
United States residing in this country
attaining their majority since June 5
last, shall be subject to registration
, Under regulations prescribed by the
■ _
President; shall present themselves
for registration on a day proclaimed
by the President and thereafter shall
be liable to military service.
There was no opposition to the res-
olution itself, the only controversy be-
ing over the new amendment. Strong
sentiment for universal compulsory-
training was apparent, however, and
the vote was not regarded as fore-
shadowing future action on Senator
Chamberlain’s universal training bill.
ENEMY WILL NOT CONQUER,
OECLARE8 FRENCH PREMIER
Associated Press
Paris, March 30.-r“The enemy will
not conquer our resistance," said Pre-
mier Clemenceau whon surrounded by
deputies at the Bourbon palace, upon
his return from the front Friday after-
noon. “I do not wish to pose as a
prophet. That is not my habit; but,
come what may, they will not break
through.”
WOMAN ARRESTED WITH

Newark, N. J., March 30.—Admis-

Mrs. Lydia White, a woman who was
arrested today with blue prints of
airplanes in her possesion, the police
announce.

London, March 30.—The Germans
attacking yesterday at Demuin and
Mezieres, pressed back the British
from Mezieres, the war office announ-
ces. All the enemy’s attempt to cap-
ture Demuine broke down after sharp
fighting lasting throughout the after-
noon.
The Germans now are within twelve
miles of Amiens. Despite the fact
that the British line is now west of
Mareclcave and Demuin, the situation
is well in hand.
The statement says the cavlary has
fought with gallantry, inflicting heavy
losses on the enemy in numerous en-
gagements.
British Army Headquarters, March
30.—The situation today from the en-
tente viewpoint is reported more sat-
isfactory. Along the British section
of the battle front last night was com-
paratively quiet and the British iines
have been strengthened rapidly. There
is a most heartening display of deter-
mination and optimism.
In the vicinity of Albert the Ger-
mans are reported digging themselves
in along the line from ThiepA^.o La-
bouselie.
At one point the attacd^^^Kops
were held up by machine gunfire, but
the other forces pressed on doggedly.
The British were opposed with too
great a German strength and were
forced to abandon the effeort after a
hard struggle in which twenty-five
prisoners were taken in hand to hand
fighting.
which the American war secretary
hastened back to France.
Many observers now surmise that
Mr. Baker was sent to Europe partic-
ularly to urge the coordination of all
allied armies under a single comman-
der. Such is known to have been
President Wilson’s desire when his
urgency caused the creation of the
supreme war council. Some measure
of co-ordination was secured through
that body, but any plan for appoint-
ment of a supreme commander with
authority over all the armies—Brit-
ish, French, Italian and American-
met strong opposition in England.
Now it is .assumed that the needs
of the critical hour have won over
the British cabinet to complete unifi
cation, making it possible to meet the
Germans on the same plane of organ-
ization and centralized authority that
have given the enemy an advantage
throughout the war.
As to what is to be done with the
American troops in the emergency
war department officials are frankly
ignorant. They are to be employed
as the Wench commander deems best
and regardless of the sectors they
now hold or the region assigned for
complete Americanization under pre-
vious plans. To all intents and pur-
poses the American forces would be-
come an integral part of the French
army with which they share supplies.
The first official reference to Gen
eral Foch as being in supreme com
mand of the allied forces on the west-
ern front is contained in a cablegram
President Wilson sent the general
congratulating him on his “new au-
thority.” The President’s message
aid:
“May I not convey to you my sin-
cere congratulations on your new au-
thority? Such a unity of command is
a most hopeful augury of ultimate suc-
cess. We are following with profound
interest the bold and brilliant action
of your forces.”

Associated Pi-m*
Washington, March 30.—Official in-
formation has reached Washington
that General Foch, Frenche chief of
staff, has been appointed to supreme
command of all the alllied and Amer-
ican forces in France.
This means unification of all the ar-
mies opposing the Germans, a step
which the American and French mil-
itary men long have urged and which
apparently has been brought about
by recognition of the imperative de-
mand for concerted effort to hurl
back the giant thrust of the enemy in
France.
The first hint of the historic devel-
opment come in press cable dispatch-
es Friday telling how General Per-
shing had placed the American expe-
ditionary forces at the disposal of the
French commander. General Per-
shing’s message, made public last
night by Major General March, acting
chief of staff, follows:
“Have made all our resources avail-
able and our divisions will be used if
and when needed. French axe in fine
spirit and both armies seem confi-
dent.”
The news of the appointment of
General Foch to supreme command
gave rise instantly to suggestions that
the presence of Secretary Baker in
Europe was connected with the devel-
opment. Mr. Baker first visited
France and conferred at length with
French officials and with General
Bliss, American chief of staff, attach-
ed to the supreme war council, and
General Pershing. There followed a
brif trip- to London just as the great
German drive was starting, after
Associated Pres*
Washington, March 30.—Suspension
of the meatless day regulations for
thirty days beginning Saturday was
ordered Friday night by the food ad-
ministration in instructions telegraph-
ed to all state food administrators.
Temporary relaxation of the restric-
tions was decided on because thou-
sands of hogs now coming into the
market have increased the meat sup-
ply beyond the country’s shipping and
storage capacity.
In a statement announcing the or-
der, Food Administrator Hoover ex-
pressed confidence that the produc-
ers would not take advantage of the
holiday to ask more than fair prices
and that the “packers and retailers
will have sense enough to realize that
this is not to be a holiday of high
prices.”
