The majority report followed elose-
ly the lines of the report made by
the subcommittee wmcn araitea tne
opposition bill. It was stated authori
tatively today that under no Circum
stances will the administration acoept
the majority's measure, and the pres
ident's lieutenants will line up solidly
In support of the minority report.
The fight for the latter will be led
by a Republican Julius Kahn of Cali
fornia. The others who signed the
report were John C. McKensie, Rep.,
Illinois; Frank L. Greene, Rep., Ver

ment; George R, Lunn, Dem., New

Termer Experience Cited,
In support of the contention that
the volunteer system would prove a
failure, the minority incorporated in
the report the letter of Secretary of
War Raker to the committee, an
nouncing that the president and war
department united in support of the
measure, and giving the views of .the
general staff on the subject.
The committee then recalls the fact
that during the , war between th
states, when both north and south
were compelled to abandon the vol
unteer system and accept conscription.
the conscription "was looked upon
with contempt, and ever since , the
word conscription has carried with it
a meaning of reproach."
England's Tailors &eeHed.
"If the majority Plan were adopted
at this time, and again should prove
a failure, eonsoriptlon would noe
again be looked on with disfavor,"
continues the report.
"If, on the other hand, the legisla
tlon that is enacted provides for se
lective conscription, every cltlsen of
the republic will know that those who
have been selected have been called
to the colors by their country as
universal obligation to serve in the
hour of the nation' need"
Reference then is made to the fail
ure of the volunteer system in Eng
land. It is declared that even a cam
paign of social ostracism failed to
save the system. If England bad
adapted conscription at the outset, in
stead of waiting for two years. Its
position at present ' would be much
better, says the report. .
7S4.T18 volunteers Heeded.
The report then continues:
"Some of those who favor the. vol
unteer system point with pride to the
race , iuv .xvuv T""m tLiv vnusi
log every day at the present time.
According to a, letter from the secre
tary of war to the chairman of the
committee, 734,718 volunteers will he
