BILL HOI III
Debate Continues in Both Houses
With Many of the Members
Still to-be Heard
CLARK IS AGAINST DRAFT

Washington. April 24-DCbato on
the war army bill continued in Con
gress today with the desire to talk
about the methods the United States
should use in raising her million of
aghting men unabated. Leaders m
neither house could predict with con
fidence when a vote might be reached.
The House hopes to vote by Friday,
but there are more than sixty mem
bers waiting to speak. In the -Senate
only a few senators have been heard
and Chairman Chamberlain of the mili
tary committee tonight said many had
Indicated their .intention to discuss the
bill before agreeing to - vote. il
probably will sound out sentiment to
morrow! however, on an unanimous

ate takes this suggestion may have
much to do with thelposition of admin
istration leaders. Wy are l".10
resort the Senate's new . cloture rule,
or to appear in any way anxious to
curtail debate. -
Opponents of the administration s se
lective draft plan found new hope dur
ing the day when Speaker Clark let it
be known that he shade their views
and would make a speech tomorrow in
favor of the majority House cumn..
volunteer amendment.
In the Senate, Senator LaFollette in
troduced a substitute for the adminis
tration bill proposing to eliminate the
draft feature and submit the questions
of raising an ary to a referendum,
through the Director of Census and
postmasters. .
i Discussions today in both houses
came largely from the friends -of the
volunteer system. It was not heard
by large crowds either on the floors or
in the galleries.
The longest speech of the day was
make by Representative Fields, of Ken
tucky, a Democrat, of ' the military
uf.o who arerued for the volun-
teer plan and declared that the War
Departments proposal w uiin j,
under 21 years of age involved a.prin

any other nation.

but all to nv avail. It probably was
the most wonderful air auet wo
has yet seen. .. .
The British pilot reported today that
several times he felt sure he would get
his adversary between his sights, but
the latter invariably wriggled out -of
the line of fire. The Br tish flier him-

In strange contrast to this was the
experience of one British Pilot. ho
somewhat peevishly complained last
night that "I only got rabbit. He
explained this by saying that while his

Still another pilot mounted a . fat
new machine and deliberately allowed
a German to get on his trail. Then
he suddenly looped behind his adver
sary and caught him aust withm the
sights, the burst of fire killing the
German instantly. " The machine
swerved and the dea man pitched
out 10,000 feet from the ground. .
The fighting yesterday was all with
in the enemy territory. ,Several-Brit-ish
machines had bullet holes through
their wins, but sailed home unaided
and took the air again this morning.
