Final action went over until Monday. The senate voted 46 to 9 to substi- tute the voluntary for the compulsory method. There was-no_direct vote on the compulsory’ plan. Its defeat was conceded and, to provide for some method for training American youths, many, advocates of compulSory train- ing supported the amendment of Sena- ‘tor _Frelinghuysen, —republican, New Jersey, incorporating the voluntary method. They would enter the organ- | 1zed reserve for five years and during that period be required to participate twice in annual manoeuvres, two weeks. In substituting the voluntary for the compulsory training provisions, 22 re- publicans and 24 democrats supported the Frelinghuysen amendment. Seven republicans and two democrats op- posed the substitution. Advocates of compulsory training made a spirited final stand. Senator Chamberlain, democrat, Oregon. de- clared that President Wilson had ad- vocoted the policy, but Senator Hitch- ccok of Nebraska, administration lead- er, and Senator McKellar .challenged the statement.
