MANY WANT VOLUNTEERS 3 Chairman Dent, of Honse Military , Committee, Is Summoned by Ei ."l; ecntlve and Told Vital Need of Conscription. ' WASHKGTON, April P. President .Wilson threw the weight of his per " sonal influence into the scales today In an effort to overcome opposition in ".Congress to the Administration Army plans based on the draft system. '-. Summoning Chairman Dent of the House Military Committee, now con- eidering the bill, the President made - it clear that he believes the safety of , the Nation hangs on the action of Con , press in this regard. - He will make a similar exposition of the military situation to Represen tative Anthony of Kansas, who has led opposition to the draft plan among .: Republican members of the military committee. ' Wilson Backs War Department. In the war address Mr. Wilson for mally told Congress that in his Judg " ment the United States must face the enemy with a certain weapon in the form of an army raised by applica tion of the principle of universal 11a ;hility for military service as a duty - of citizenship. Supplementing that, he issued a statement recently, approv ". ing in every detail the department 1 plans, which hava the unanimous ap proval of the Army General Staff. In his action today, however, the ..President recognized that there may develop a strong feeling in Congress in ,. favor of adhering to the old volunteer system and sought to bring home to ' Mr. De,t, one of those who hold that view, the lessons to be drawn from the ' great war into which the United States now has been plunged and which all point, military advisers of the Govern- merit declare, to the absolute necessity or lacing the Issue squarely and sum moning men to the colors by draft. A compromise plan may be offered by the opponents of compulsory serv- Ice. A sentiment for such a move was . evident in Mr. Dent's committee, be- fore which Secretary Baker and the "military chiefs of the War Department -assembled in full strength during tho day to support the Administration's policy. There was no indication, how ever, that a compromise would be a-c- cepted by the President. Senators Debate Conscription. In the Senate, debate on conscription occupied much time during discussion r- of the regular Army appropriation bill left over from last session. The ques ! tlon is not dealt with in the bill, but during tho debate Senator Klrby of- lered an amendment which would au thorize the President to call volunteers k In lots of 600,000 each. The amend ment is subject fb a point of order, and jrobably will bo disposed of that way wiinout ceoate. " As a result of Chairman Dent's at - titude it Is possible that some other member of the House committee will . present the Administration bill if it is reported, as officials hope it will be, substantially In the form in which -it was drawn. The chairman agreed , 1o introduce it "by request," which means that he would take no responsi bility for it. As an active and sympathetic lead ership on the floor of the House will be needed, the task may go to some : other committeeman. Representative Jvahn, ranking Republican member, lias been a consistent advocate of uni versal military training and service for years. He went to the extent, during the framing of the National defense act, of sending to England for recruit ing posters and " literature, and used ihera to Illustrate to the House the unreliable and inefficient operation of lhat system. While refusing to dis cuss his conference with the President, Mr. Dent admitted that no conclusion "whatever was reached. Chairman Dent Explains. "When I received the bill," he ex. plained, "I agreed with the Secretary ft War that I would introduce it 'by request' if he wanted me to do so. He ihen asked me to hold it up until titter the declaration of existence of a. state of war was made by Congress, After that the committee agreed that ihe bill jthould not be introduced until 1 here hll been thorough hearings on tne subject. "There Is no chance on earth of the bill coming out of the committee in any lorm within a week at least. The main controversy is over the question of conscription. There is no question, however, on the part of any one as to Hiving the President all the men and jnoney needed to c.arry on the war. The only controversy la as to the means of doing so." Mr. Dent indicated that he was anx lous to maintain harmony of view and action within the committee. He was not ready today to talk about the na ture of the compromise of which he as thinking. Discussion of the regular Army ap propriation bill had been perfunctory in the Senate until a section authoriz ing advertising agencies to obtain re cruits for the Army was reacnca i'hairman Chamberlain said it was con sidered necessary to get men and in Ktanced the fact that recruiting for the National Guard had not been sue cesslul. Nelson Favors Volunteers. "Recruits have flocked to National Guard headquarters ever since the Ger man Ambassador was sent home, de dared Senator Wadsworth, 'but now I hear the War Department has sent Civil War, declared himself in favor of a call for volunteers. "I venture to say," he said, "that If the President calls for a. volunteer Army of 600,000 men and says that it is going to Europe to fight there would be no trouble at all. What the boys dread above all is to be stationed in camp with nothing but drills and guard duty.' What they want is to march and fight and to meet the enemy." The Senator added, however, that he did not believe it necessary to send an army to Europe at present. . Senator Stone urged an increase In the pay of privates to four or five times the present amount. He said that it might increase the Army bill 11,000,000 a month, but was worth It because the men who would go to war would leave behind dependents.' v "I don't think this is a business mat ter," said Senator Vardaman. "It is a matter of patriotism." "We are about to vote 15,000,000 to the President." replied Senator Stone. "Very well. I shall vote for It, but I wouldn't hesitate so far as I am con cerned to compensate the men who go to the front not purchase them, not as a bounty, but that it might be the best paid army in the world." Before the House committee Secre tary Baker stood formally for the gen eral staff plan Secretary for Draft. "Would you prefer," Representative Anthony asked, "authority to raise a volunteer army within 30 days rather than to raise the 500.000 under a se lective draft that might take six months?" "I prefer the selective draft system, rmlleil the Secretary. Mr. Baker approved a suggestion that instead of authorizing two Increments of selective draft forces, 600,uou to an increment, the bill authorize the Presi dent to call as many such Increments from time to time as-he deemea neces naiv in nrnsecute the war. Mr. Baker said the only provision of the Administration which would mm to to aninst the continuance of the Na tional Guard units as such after they had been drafted in the Federal serv ice, was that the way was to be opened fnr Tv' tionnl Guard officers to promo tion to any part of the new Army. This provision was Inserted In Justice to the officers or tne ijuara anu iu i" - vide an elastic and homogenous inn ltary structure. Lack of Equipment Hamper. Tr Tinker explained also that the department had been unable to permit National Guard recruiting to proceed bevond the peace strength of tne com mands because of shortage of equip ment which it could supply Immediate ly. The department's reserve stock was absorbed by the recent boraer moDiiiza tion In the Senate, the 1918 appropriation bill, designed to carry on the existing militarv establishment, made rapid progress. It has passed the House al ready ana came irom tne oemio i" mittee carrying a total of J278.000.000 which Is -in addition to the $3,000,000.- 000 now asked for the Army to meet the war emergency. The bill now takes one section, insert ed by the Senate committee, which has a direct bearing on tho war emergency. It does away with the grade of Briga- rlier-General entirely, substituting a senior and Junior division of the grade of Major-General instead. The grade of Brieadler-General corresponds to the abolished grade of Commodore In the Navy. Rank of General J roposea. The new section also proposes that the chief of staff be given the rank of General, senior to all other Army offi cers, while in that position. This again parallels changes in Navy practice, where the chief of operations has been made ranking Admiral of the Navy. Similarly, departmental commanders would become Generals and provision is made for the re-creation of the grade of Lieutenant-General, which vanished from army lists with the retirement of General Miles. With armies in the field of the size now in contemplation, mis proceaure becomes urgently necessary in order that high commands can be properly assigned and adjusted.

Creation of general munitions board was an nounced today by the Council of Na tional Defense. It will be headed by Frank A. Scott, a Cleveland manufac turer. and will be charged with sup plying the Army and Navy with mu nitions and equipment. One of It: chief functions will be to decide be tween the country's military and its industrial needs. The board's establishment puts Into the hands of a group of Army and Navy officers and Industrial leaders virtually the same task given the Brit ish Minister of Munitions. It creates machinery for a Government depart ment of munitions with its head Cabinet minister, if conduct of the war brings the need. Active military and naval participation in the conflict, many believe, will produce that necessity. Twenty men, 15 of them Navy and Army officers, makes up the board. Be sides Ur. Scott, its civilian members are Bernard M. Baruch, Howard E. Coffin, Julius Rosenwald and Dr. Franklin Martin. From the Army there are Brigadier-General Thomas Cruse, Colonel F. G. Hodgson, Colonel H. Fisher, Lieutenant-Colonel J. E. Hof fer. Major P. E. Pierce, Major Charles Wallace and Captain A. B. Parker; and from the Navy, Rear Admiral H. H. Rousseau, Rear Admiral W. S. Capps, Commander R. H. Leigh, Commander T A. Kearny, Dr. R. C. Holcomb, Pay master J. H. Hancock, Lieutenant W. B. Letnley and L. McHowe. Experts Named on Board. Mr. Scott is one of the country's lead ing experts on munitions production. Other civilian members have had much to do with supplying the allies with supplies. Most of the Army and Navy members are experts on munitions standards and manufacture. The board will be expected to equip and arm forces called into service, said the defense councils announcement. with the least possible derangement of normal industrial conditions or inter ference with shipments to the entente allies. Its immediate efforts will be directed toward co-ordinating Army and Navy purchases and in assisting in acquirement of raw materials for manufacture. It will study the coun try's manufacturing facilities and will establish precedence in Army and Navy orders. "It is not Intended." said tho an nouncement, "that the new board shall have the power to issue purchase orders to bind the Government in con tracts for purchases. These things will continue to be done by the respective Federal departments." This order of delivery of military and naval material, both domestic and foreign, as provided under contracts now being filled, will not be disturbed, It was said, unless to meet absolute re quirements. Difficulties to Be Met. After the board was named Mr. Scott Issued a statement saying: "Notwithstanding tho great efficiency of the Army and Navy and the tre mendous efforts of the officers and per sonnel of both branches to meet the vast demands of the existing situation. the difficulties the board will have to encounter are very great. These diffi culties are, however, such as are nat urally inherent in our position as a non military Nation forced into war. That the difficulties will be overcome Is not doubted by any who have witnessed the spontaneous outpouring of patriotic en thuslasm by all classes, or have ob served that In the case of manufac turers and business men generally, this feeling already is making Itself evident In practical ways in support of the Gov ernment." American Needa Safeguarded. In the nearly three years the war has raged in Europe the United States, ex perts say, has through furnishing mu-j nitlons to the allies, put itself in po sition to continue to pour across the Atlantic a great quantity of explosives and at the same . le supply all the needs of America's Army and Navy. Investigations conducted a year ago by Howard E. Coffin, a member of the new munitions board, developed that factories can be converted quickly, and that there Is no need to fear the coun try cannot furnish easily all its own needs and heavy foreign demands. LONDON, April . In his Presiden tial address today at the annual con ference of tne Independent Labor party, Frederick W. Joawett, member of the House of Commons, said that a declaration of faith on the great issue which divided tho party from those who supported the war and wished to con tinue it would be disrespectful to those who disagreed with the party, and even more to those whose lives were being demanded of them. If he were asked how. the position of the party was affected by America's action he would point out that, had the government been as careful to keep tho nation informed in the years preceding the war concerning the na tion's affairs as President Wilson had been, there would have been no secret ties to bind the country to the late Russian government, ho said. The conference adopted a resolution of congratulations to the workers of Russia.

Joy, pastor of tho First Unitarian Church, the oldest and one of the richest in this city, was burned In effigy in front of his church by party ot unidentified men last night, after ha had preached a sermon in which ho was reported as expressing the opinion that "the war In which we serve is an unrighteous war. "From this pulpit prayers shall as eend for Germans and Americans alike,' he said. "There will bo no prayer that victory may crown the arms of Amer lea." In closing the preacher saia ni resignation was at the disposal of the church if desired. Federal Attorney Inclined to Believe Assertion Was Wrung by Tannta and Not Intended. Because he Is said to have threatened to blow up the Arnoldus Vinnen, the r seized German vessel to whose crew he belonged, Carl Obersold a young Ger man of 22 years, is being detained by Federal authorities until an order from Washington is received as to what dis position shall be made of him. Young Obersold was brought up from Clifton Sunday by Deputy Customs Col lectors McGrath and Grady, owing to the alleged unpatriotic utterances he is said to have been guilty of while em ployed In a section gang near that place. Obersold, says Robert 'Ream Rankin. Assistant United States District Attor ney, was no doubt goaded into his berating the American flag and Presi dent Wilson by fellow workmen, who taunted him. After being brought to Portland, Obersold was taken to Mr. Rankin, who explained the acuteness of tho position In which Obersold had placed himself, and Mr. Rankin said last night that be felt Obersold was not dangerous. When the Vinnen interned at Clifton, the members of the crew dispersed and Obersold obtained employment in the vicinity of Clifton, where he has been working since. Mr. Kankin telegraphed tho Depart ment of Justice last night asking for an executive order for the detention -of Obersold.
