 OF ITALIAN ARMY,
Premier Salandra's Plan Endorsed by
 Chamber of Deputies.

Rome, April 5.-The government programme, as outlined by Premier Salandra in the chamber of deputies Thursday, was endorsed today by tho chamber after a discussion lasting seY- eral days. by vote of 303 to 122
 Prior to the taking of the vote the premier replied to various questions raised by the different speakers. He said that in addition to raising the peace footing of the Italian army to 900 met it would be necessary to recruit 30, 900 more for service in Libye. This would represent a further eX- pense of S3,40O, 900 annually in addition to ST6, GOO, GOO which must be spent dur ing the next five years for Notifications and the provisioning of the home forces. These and other expenses, he said. would be provided for by internal financial measures, without recourse to a loan.
 Speaking of the demands of the en- ployes of the state railroads, who threaten a strike, the premier prom iSed to increase the pensions by Il per cent, also to increase the minimum wage, expending for this purpose alto gether $3,00O,0o0 additional yearly. This sum would be obtained by tn- creasing the railway rates.
 The railway men are divided into two camps. the nnoderates demanding changes in their condition of employ ment that would mean an expenditure of S71, ,000. 900 yearly. and the extremists making demands which would amount to $10, 0,000, ,000. The moderates will be received tomorrow by the minister of public works. who will discuss with them the various phases Of the situa- ton.

Paris. April 5.-The deposition Of Raymond .Poincare, president of the re- public, was taken today by M. Fori- chen, president of the court of appeals, in connection with the Inquiry into the killing of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, by Mime. CaillauX.
 Although President PoincaEe'S test- mony was not made public. It is un- derstood he deposed M. CaillauX, at that time minister of finance, called at the Elysee palace on the morning of the tragedy and discussed with him the campaign which M. Celmette was conducting. M Catllaux informed the president that he had every reason to believe that M. Calmette was about to print certain private letters and eS- pressed great alarm at the intense ner- Vous excitement under which M. Cau- laux was laboring.
 President Poincare tried as best he could to calm the minister, saying that he knew M Calmette well and be- heved him incapable of printing the letters in question. NJ. Caillaux left the palace only partially reassured, declaring that he could not remain passive if the editor of the Figaro published the letters.
 The president and Mime. Poincare left Paris tonight for a fortnights vaca- tion which they will spend at Ezee, . little village on the coast not far from Nice. They will return to Paris to re ceive the king and queen of England.

STRUGGLE FOR
 TOLL EXEMPTION. Ready for Final Stage of Controversy Scene Shifts to Senate.

Washington, April 5.-With the scene of activity on the issue of Panama toll exemption repeal shifted to the senate after the triumph of the adn1iniStra- tion in the house last week, plans still remain in the Cumulative stage for the final struggle in the great contrever- sy.
 Formal consideration of the blll to repeal toll exemption for American ships will be taken up Tuesday morn ing by the committee on interoceanic canals. of which Senator O'Gorman, leader of the democratic opposition, is chairman. Besides the house bill, upon which President Wilson and his ad- herents propose to stand, the commit tee will have before 1t various amend ments and proposed compromises and these will be discussed during the week before any formal report is made to the senate.
 While the committee Is at work, pre- liminary discussion of the tolls subject will continue in the senate, various champions and opponents of the meas ure having given notice of their inten- tion to speak during the week. Lead CTS in the fight do not expect speeches to change any votes, but that there will be flood of oratorical effort which will far exceed in length and intensity the twenty hour debate on the bill in the house is conceded.
 No one in close touch with the sit uation would predict tonight how long the controversy in the senate might continue, but the most optimistic pro- ponents of repeal do not look for a Vote for three weeks. The repeal bill and attendant measures will be in committee at least a week, and general debate cannot begin until some sort of a report is made or motion is offered to discharge the committee from fur ther consideration of the bill.

 Military Service.

Vienna April 1.-The new agree nent entered into by the Austrian gov asuxnent with the Austro- American end German shipping companies pro hfbits the emigration of Austrian male subjects, between certain ages, in or der to prevent them from evading mili- +ary service. The government at first determined that the German lines re- hIse to carry male Austrians between ne ages of 17 and 36 under any condi- ioHs but the lines resisted, and finally pnsented to exclude all between IT and ] 5 years. Hence those between 25 and lS years who are able to eVade the iigilance of the frontier police can .mbark at Hamburg or Bremen with out htndrance.
 The companies have agreed to bring home indigent Austrian subjects and those summoned to perform military service at the rdate of sl0 from Amer jean to European ports, provided that they did not exceed : per cent. of the steeraGe accommodations.

Villa to Deport
 500 spaniards
SPECIAL TRAINS PROVIDED FOR
 THEIR REMOVAL.
EXODUS BEGINS TODAY
Rebel General Believes They Have Been Working Against The RevoIu-
 tionists-Make Claim of Neutrality.

Torreon. Mexico, April 4-CVia Fl Paso, Texas, April 5 General Fran cisco Villa today ordered that the six hundred Spaniards of this city be de- ported. He issued instructions that trains be provided at once and that the exodus to Fl Paso, Texas, should begin tomorrow. Their property will be conf1scated, temporarily at least.
 It is the tragedy of Chihuahua over again and is said to express the deep rooted suspicion and even hatred with which the native Mexican, and par ticularly the peon, looks upon the Spainard.
 Villa expelled the dons from Chi huahua four months ago and since then has repeatedly stated that oth- CT SpaniardS would better get out of Mexico before he caught them His abiding conviction that they were working as one man against the rev olution, found frequent expression while he was in Juarez. at which time he asserted that he would execute ev- cry one that he found in Torreon.
 The Spanish government was arouS- ed and Washington descended on the constitutionalist chiefs with words of warning and admonition.
 Not Disposed to Show Clemency.
 Villa promised that Spaniards inno- cent of political activity should not be harmed. This was official, but in talking with reporters and friends. it trayed him into the most tragic was said his temper frequently be- threats. Some of those constantly as sociated with the rebel leaded said he did not expect to find many Spaniards who would deserve his clemency.
 It is taken to indicate that all are to be held guilty until innocence is proved.
 Villa promised he would investigate closely the conduct of each Spaniard and that in due course those found to have lent no aid to the enemy would be allowed to return.
 To establish their innocence while not represented before. the investi- gators. with their cases in the hands of a hostile court and themselves ir foreign land. it is said will be almost a hopeless task.
 The order was received in tragic silence, followed by passionate out bursts of pleading and lament. say persons who were present. All as serted tAat they had remained neu- tral so far as they could, but with the military government in the hands o1 the federals they were compelled al times to render such aid as was de manded-the use of houses and corrals for instance and the forced contri- button of money and food.
 To have refused, they said, would have meant death or at least impris- inment, but Villa said he was inclined to believe there was little reluctance in the aid and comfort they extended to his enemies. He is said to resent the fact that they did not leave the city when he announced it would be well for them tod do so.
 Mexican hatred of the Spaniard, the people say. is a tradition handed dowI from the days of the conquest.
