BIG DELAY IS FORECAST
IN ARMY BILL CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2 <5 --
Political correspondents here one
and all voice the general feeling
that the army bill conference will
be a most protracted one. The two
bills, the Senate measure and that
of the House, are pracltically op
posed to one another and the Cham
berlain bill contains almost all the
provisos which filibustering oppo
sition tried to embody in the Hay
bill in the house.
There is even a general feeling
In many quarters that the two com
mittees will not reach an Agreement
and that the matter will result In
an In glorious fiasco.
Only one thing can secure a likely
rapid adjustment of the two differ
ent measures and that is a foreign
crisis wherein tho United States
would be very seriously Involved.
This refers to the German reply to
the United States as to diver war
fare and concerning which an An
swer is expeced on Friday next.

PARIS, April 26.—The day's com
munique is free from any matter of
importance. Desultory fighting took
place along some sections where
small attacks and counter attacks
were reported. At Verdun every
thing was quiet beyond some artill

a Bomewhat Irregular bombardment.
At the Flanders front everything
is quiet although a slight German
offensive In an attack upon the
British trenches was repulsed with
some losses near Labassee.
