Hi agreement finally reached between the Senate and House conferees on the Conscription Bill is as satisfactory as could be expected, An age limit of from twenty-one to thirty years for those subject to the selective draft one to twenty-seven and the twenty-one to forty favored by Senate and House respectively. The turning down of the amendment permitting Col. Roosevelt | to raise four divisions for service in France will disappoint the Colonel’s followers and others frankly impatient to “get something started.” ’ On the other hand it is a distinct gain from the point of view of orderly and therefore more really rapid and efficient progress in applying the nation’s military force. It leaves less room for criti-| cism. It gives officers and men of the regular army no ground for doubting the confidence and trust the country reposes in them or the fairness with which their work is and will continue to be appraised. To the increasing number of those who believe with The Evening World that Col. Roosevelt in thé immediate future could nowhere use his peculiar gifts with greater profit to his country than in Russia, the elimination of the clause permitting him to lead an army to France will seem no misfortune. He should be sent with Mr. Root to Petrograd. As to the prohibition amendment voted by the Senate, which remains only slightly modified in the Army bill as now agreed upon, the present state of American opinion on this subject will doubtless cause it to be generally approved, Neither House of Congress should lo: and passing the compromise measure, ‘The sooner the selective draft machinery {s in motion the sooner will Americans feel that they are lining up efficiently as well loyally for war. any time in taking up| —_——-+- The German people have been told to expect in the near future “a joyful political event.” ‘Wo bet the rumored journey of Austrian peace envoys to France has mighty lttle to do with the promised Joy. | ———- 4 - ANOTHER GREAT DEFENDER.
