Fitzgerald declared that to place this vast sum in the hands of the Secretary of would make of Con gress a "mere automaton," and prom ised that if the section was voted down the committee would provide funds promptly in a separate measure. Among the amendments adopted in the Senate Was one which would permit-Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a volunteer force for service in France. A similar proposal had been rejected by the House.

Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader Kitchin and Chairman Dent, of the Military Committee, who bad' favored the volunteer system, all voted for the draft bill on the final roll call.

After the McKellar amendment had been rejected, Senator Trammell reopened the "draft question by offering an amendment proposing to substitute the volunteer system throughout thji bill. It was rejected by an overwhelming roar of "noes." In the House there was no roll call. The long fight came to a close early inthe afternoon when Representative KjLhn, of California, moved to strike out the volunteer provision written into? the bill by hte House Military Committee. As "the result tof the Voting became apparent, the members of the galleries broke into cheers, while Speaker Clark, Chairman Dent of the Military Qommittee, Chairman- Padgett, of the Naval Committee, and other who had fought the administration's plan, sat silently in their seats.

Democratic Leader Kitchin, who iad expected to vote against. conscription, responded to the call for a -quorum just before, but was not present for the vote on the amendment.

Stand With Bared Heads In Semi-Circle Before Tomb of Nation's Founder. Mount Vernon, Va, -The flags of Great Britain, France and the United States floated proudly together over the tomb of George "Washington. Beneath them, spokesmen of the three great democracies paid homage to America's soldier and and pledged themselves each to the other, in the name of the dead, to prosecute the present mighty struggle against autocracy on the line he himself had followed in bringing America into being.

In groups of twos and threes, an eminent gathering, including the members of the French and British war commission, the President's cabinet and members of Congress, had stroll ed up through the sloping grounds from the river bank until Derhane half hundred people stood with bared heads in a semi-circle before the tomb. The day which -had been heavy and threatening as the party approached on the Mayflower, suddenly burst into sunlight which pdayed through (the trees on the unlfroms and faces of those assembled. Without formality, Secretary Daniels motioned to M. Viviani, minister of justice and former president of France; who advanced slowly Into the center. Before the tomb of Washington whose efforts towards liberty his own ancestors had gloriously aid ed, M.

Viviana delivered an address, in which the whole forces of his emo tional power, deepened by the signifi canoe of the occasion, fought for ex presslon. The spectators, though most of them could not understand French, caught the suppressed feeling and fire of the orator and followed his words spell bound as they quickened under the thrill of his imagaination. his voice not a sound could be heard. As M. Viviana the silence became supreme with the general realization that no applause could ex press the emotions aroused.

Then came forward Artnur James Balfour, foreign secretary of Great Britain, who stood for a moment in silence, a tall, erect, kindly figure. Overcome with all that the situation meant in the lives of the two great Anglo-Saxon countries, Mr. Balfour abandoned his decision not to speak and gave expression to a few poignant sentences, evidently straight from the heart. England had honored Washington as she never had before. Viviani," said Mr.

Balfour, "has expressed in most eloquent words the feelings which grip us all here today. He lias not only paid a fitting tribute to a great statesman, but he haa brought our thoughts most vividly down to the present. The thousands who have given their lives French, Russian, Italian, Belgian, Serbian, Montengerin, Roumanian, Japanese and British were fighting for what they believed to be the cause of liberty. "There is no place in the world where a speech for the cause of liberty would be better placed than here at the tomb of Washington. But as that work has been so adequately done by a master of oratory, perhaps you will permit me to read a few words prepared by the British Mission for the wreath we are to leave here today: "'Dedicated by the British Mission to the immortal memory of George Washington, soldier, statesman, patriot, who would have rejoiced to see the country of which he was by birth a citizen, and the country which his genious called into existence, fighting side by side to save mankind from subjection to a military GoVernor Stuart of Virginia spoke as the host on Virginian soil.

"Washington," he said, "originally belonged to Virginia, but his priceless memory has now "become a common heritage of the world. We consecrate here today a struggle bearing the su- preme test of the issues for which he lived, fought and died." Marshal Joffre, victor of the Marne and Idol of the French people, next came forward in field marshal uni- form. Simply, but earnestlyhe spoke but two brief "In- the French army, all the name add memory of Washtogton I respectfully salute here tho, great soldier and lay upon his "tomb the bii we offer ou- soldiers who have ded 'for their countryi" i ii Two French leers came- forward with the bronze wreath from the French Mission the humblest and. the. highest martcf 'of4! honor which the shotgun and run out of my district every man who sent me a telegram to vote for conscription, and if school doesn't keep too long I will run a few out, too."

Senator Harding's amendment to the army bill designed to permit Col onel Roosevelt to raise four infantry divisions to go to the European bat tie front was adopted by the Senate 56 to 31. Many Democrats voted fof the amendment. The announcement as adopted does not specifically mention Col- Roose velt, but its purpose has been well un derstood and its author referred to the fact that it would permit the form er president to raise troops to go to It was not discussed at' length. Senators Ashurst, Broussard, Qroe, Hardwick, HollSs, Husting, Johnson, Souh Dakota; Kirby, McKellar, My ers, Owen, Pomerene, Ransdell, Reed, Robinson, Saulsbury, Thompson, Vardaman and Williams, Democrats, supported the amendment. Senators Brady, Gronna, LaFollette and War ren, Republicans, voted against it.

Farmers Exempt. Among more important amend ments adopted In the House was one empowering the president to exempt rom the draft, in his discretion, per sons engaged in agricultural work. Another would require each state to furnish a quota of men apportioned according to population, and still another provides that "no bounty shall be paid to induce any person to en- lst," and that "no person liable to military service shaftl hereafter be permitted or allowed to furnish a substitute for such service." In the Senate there was a long de bate over proposal to prohibit the sale or possession of intoxicating liquors during the war. Several amendments were adopted, including one to make unlawful to sell or give liquor to officers or men in uniform or to mem bers of Congress or other officials, and then the Senate reversed itself and adopted a substitute einjply forbidding the sale of liquor to soldiers in uni form, and giving the presfdent wide discretionary authority to make other prohibition, regulations. An amendment by1 Senator Curtis stipulating that men subject to draft who voluntarily present themselves shall be recorded as volunteers, was accepted by Chairman Chamberlain, and went into the bill.

Another long debate was evoked over amendments by Senators Thomas and LaFollette to exempt from conscription those having "conscientious" objections to military service. Both were defeated without a roll call, and the bill's exemption proposal left un changed. "FARM AND ARM" IS BATTLE CRY OF ROOSEVELT Chicago. "Farm and Arm!"
