WASHINGTON. D. April 25—
Serious opposition to the Draft act
arose in Congress today when from
the floor Speaker Champ Clarke an
nounced that he will vote for a
trial of the volunteer system before
he will support conscription imme
diately.
It is readily admitted that this
stand is influencing greatly mem
bers who have been wavering with
some uncertainty as to which side
they would support but the sup
porters of immediate drafting
schemes are now declaring that they
are hopeful.
At best the passage of the con
scription bill is a matter of sotn •
uncertainty but the administration
influence may still be able to get it
through. Its passage in the senat •
is assured.

effect of the high cost of living. In
the past, potatoes and onions were
a regular part of the daily menu.
Now however, the chef is feeding
the inmates rice and macaroni in
place of these high priced foods,
iii order to reduce the cost of feed

tions have also been issued forbidd

time of the day outside of the speci
fied meal hours.
