MORE DELAY AHEAD Men for New Army Probably Will Not Join Colors Be- fore Sept. 1. By Samuel M. Williams. (Special Staff Correspondent of The) Evening World.) WASHINGTON, May 11.—Congress met early to-day to press through the programme of extraordinary war measures. In the House absorbing interest in the new revenue bill, with ita enormous burdens of taxation, temporerily pushed aside even the) vitatly important army conscription ill on which conferrees of Senate and House agreed yesterday. It is 111 days since Germany began ite ruthless submarine warfare on American ships and thirty-five days since Congress declared a» state of war existed. And as yet the United Sta! not even authorized the formation ef an army. Within thirty days In 1914 Germany had over- run Belgium, invaded France and the battle of the Marne was be- ing fought. Within 111 days the opposing armies had come to @ deadlook in the trenches. ‘The Nation's happy freedom from! attack is permitting repeated delays in final adoption of the new system for universal military service. Agree- ment has been reached in Congress that the conscription age shall be ‘petween twenty-one and thirty years, Dut nelther House is hurrying to place the final seal of approval on the pending bill. Under rules of technical procedure the Lower House put off considera- tion of the subject until to-morre and the Senate will not touch it un next week. The present schedule, if not interrupted by unexpected stum ling blocks of opposition, calls for the following line of march for Amer- fea's new National army of selective has ve draft conscripts Saturday, approved by the House.
