Senate will likely receive the measures Monday. Chairman Chamberlain and committee members said the draft law amendment will not include an exemption for men 31 and older. Secretary Baker proposed it but opposition from Provost Marshal General Crowder led Baker to withhold pressing the amendment. The bill on drafting industrial and agricultural experts would authorize the President to take registered mechanics artisans and skilled labor nationwide to meet emergencies for General Pershing.

Grain shipments to Austria inadequate says Austrian minister
Austria relies on Hungary and Romania for grain, says Herr Hoefer in Neue Wiener Tageblatt. Since last August only 150000 tons of wheat arrived from Romania, Hungarian shipments are insufficient, and beer production would have halted without supplying troops and heavy laborers. Beer now uses substitutes like ezirok seed.
