The President admits that he is strongly opposed to the volunteer division plan. Because of the possibility that op position to the administration's spy and censorship bills might block all other war legislation, leaders In the Senate today suddenly switched their plans and announced that considera tion of the Wilson elective conscrip tive measure will be shoved ahead of everything. The espionage legislation is the most drastic ever proposed, and eas ily held the spotlight in today's ses sion of Congress.

The government will not wait tho 60 days usually required to put such a war, loan measure into pperation.
