Steps TAKEN TO
SUPPLY MUNITIONS
DEPARTMENT TO ATTEND TO
FURNISHING SUPPLIES ON
AN ADEQUATE SCALE.

London. The ministry Of NUM-
tions bills, establishing a department
to attend to the furnishing of supplies
Of munitions on an adequate scale,
was passed by the House of Lords
and received royal assent.
In the debate on the bill Baron St.
Davids, lord lieutenant Of Pembroke
shire, thought it "a pity that the bill
did not give power to requisition men
as well as workers" He wished to
disassociate himself, he said. from at
tacks on the working classes.
The upper classes as q whole, he
said, had come out of this trial won-
derfully well, but there were idlers
still among them. Even among the
members Of the upper house he ven-
tured to say they could find men who
had never done days work for them.
selves or for anybody else since they
were born, and that the sons Of some
Of them still were hanging about
theaters and music halls.
While that was going on, the baron
contended, they might save them
selves the trouble of looking for work
ingmen and talking of conscription
and compulsory service. Men who
refused to work should be made te
fight, whether they like it or not.

Washington. - William Jennings
Bryan issued an appeal addressed to
"The German-Americans," urging them
to aid in maintaining peace between

poets to end for the present his ef-
forts to lay before the public the sit
uation which caused him to resign

than sign the last American note to
/ Germany regarding submarine war
fare; yesterday he issued an appeal
ito the American people" to stand for
persuasion rather than for force in
asserting rights under international
law, he also made a brief statement
expressing qualification at what he
termed change Of tone on the part

That they forget, never to be re
called, any suspicion of lack of neu

That they should not attempt tc
connect negotiations between the
United States and Germany with
those between the United States and
Great Britain because "the cases are
different"
