Army conscription bill clears Senate and becomes law
The Senate passes the army conscription bill and the President signs it, creating a selective draft for all male citizens aged 21 to 80, expanding the regular army to war strength, drafting National Guard units, and enabling 400 000 draftees with a possible 500 000 more. It also allows a volunteer force of four infantry divisions and raises pay for higher wage levels while banning liquor sales near camps.
