FARM LOAN BILL
Rural Credits Law Presented in
Congress Today.
Farmers Could Borrow Cheap
Money From q. S.

Washington, JAN 4.-The admins
tration rural credits bill was introduc-
ed in congress today in both houses.
Governmental control of the system
would be in federal farm loan
board of five appointed by the presi-
dent for ten years each.
Loans would be made to farmers by
twelve or more federal land banks
each operating in a separate district
with capital of not less than 100000
which would be taken by the govern
ment if not privately subscribed. The
land banks would loan to farmers and
to local associations of borrowers,
called national farm loan associations.
Every borrower would be required
to take stock in the association to the
amount of per cent of his loan. A
limit of SO years would be placed on
loans.

English Secretary of State Quits
Cabinet in a Huff.
Controversy Over ConscriptiOn
Bill a ThOrny Problem.

London, Jan. At again became
evident today that the cabinet crisis is
far from ended. The only definite
point is that Sir John Simon, secretary
CT state for home affairs, has resigned.
He had a prolonged interview with
Premier Asquith yesterday. The pre-
mier did his utmost to induce Sir John
to remain in the cabinet but without
avail. Announcement was made in
the house of commons today of the
resignation.
The position of Reginald McKenna
chancellor of the exchequer. and Wal
ter Runciman. president of the board
of trade, still is undecided. They are
making the acceptance of the govern
ment compulsion bill conditional upon
securing a concession to their views on
the eventual size of the army. In this
matter Premier Asquith is in an en-
barrassing position. He is being
strongly impelled from the outside not
to yield this point and it is believed
that majority in the cabinet itself is
against their views. Hence today S

PAY FOR GOWNS?
"NOt l." Says Ford to Danes of
the Peace Party.
Ladies Want to "DOII Up" for

(BY CHARLES p. STEWART
written for the State JournaIO

Copenhagen, Jan. 4.-Henry Ford
will not pay for gowns for certain of
the women peace delegates who desire
to make a brilliant showing at next
weeks conference at The Hague.
CASTOR Plaintiff. New York automo-
bile manager for Ford, and now in
charge of the enterprise to bring the
boys out of the tranches,'' SO informed
several women who put the question
to him today. They must wear the
gowns they brought along on the Os-
car II or stay in their hotels.
Plaintiff put his foot down on an
other suggestion today. Several dele
gates wanted to stay in Europe for a

Ford would pay their way home any

clared that the delegates who failed to

own fare home.
1t was learned today that Madame
Schwimrer, Hungarian peace advo-
cate. was largely instrumental in OBJ
tanning permission for the party to
cross Germany on the way to The

this act has wrecked the last possibif-

WILSON BACK ON HIS JOB.
Returns to Washington Today and
Has Busy Program.

Washington, Jan. 4. President
Wilson today took charge of the crisis
over submarine operations. He re-
turned from his honeymoon at Hot
Springs, confronted by the most seri-
Gus diplomatic dilemma OF the war as
it affects future United States rela
tionS.
The president and Mrs. Wilson ar
rived at 7:45 in a private car attached
to the regular Chesapeake & Ohio
railway train from Hot Springs. Co
incident with the presidents return,
congress reassembled today and
promised to take a prominent part in
the expected international denoue-
ments.
From all quarters-the White
House, state department and capitol,
came indications that prompt, deci-
sive steps to stop illegal submarine
warfare were under way. Immediate
plans of the president regarding the
sinking of the Persia and other sub
marine victims were:
A conference with Secretary of
State Lansing.
A cabinet council.
A conference with Senator Stone,
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tiOnS committee.

GERMANY SORRY
Expression of Regret General
Over Persia Sinking.
Had Hope TeutOn-American
Relations Were Repaired.
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN.

Berlin, Jan. 4.-Regret is expressed
almost universally in Berlin over the
sinking of the British liner. Persia,
with a heavy loss OF life, just as he
roic efforts were being made to repair
Teuton-American relations.
The public understood that the last
Austrian note had cleared the way for
a complete understanding. The news
papers. too, took the view that the
submarine question had at last been
settled. Consequently. the sinking of
the Persia came as a severe shock.
No information has reached here as
to whether a German or Austrian sub
marine sank the Persia. Officials de-
clined to comment until the report of
the submarine commander has been
received.
The newspapers carried English re-
ports of the sinking of the Persia, to-
cether with English reports of its ef-
feet in America. Generally, the press
refrains from comment. suspecting
that the reports from English sources
may be misleading.

interference WITH NEUTRALS

Washington, Jan. 4.-Congress re-
assembled today after the holiday re-
cess, with the nations foreign affairs
uppermost in the minds of members Of
the two houses. On all sides the in
ternational situation was admitted to
be the gravest the country yet has
faced.
Issues growing out of the submarine
warfare of Germany and Austria and
Great Britain'S interference with neu-
trail commerce figured chiefly in the
discussions of senators and representa-
tives. The situation has caused a gen.
eral feeling of uneasiness.
Although the international situation
holds for the moment chief interest in
congress, it was believed the question
of national preparedness would be
taken up at once. 1t seemed assured
also that the senate foreign relations
committee would take up promptly
Senator Hoke Smiths resolution pro-
viding for an inquiry into British in
reference with neutral commerce, and
senator Lodges amendment calling for
an inquiry into the Lusitania disaster
and other acts by belligerents result
ing in the loss of American lives.

No War FOR Them
Unmarried Men of England Did
Not Volunteer.
Looks Now Like COnscriptiOn
Must Come.

London Jan. 4.-Only SO per cent
of the unmarried youth and men of
military age in Great Britain volun-
teered for service in the British
armies in the six weeks recruiting
campaign inaugurated by Lord Derby
to obtain new forces for the war
Official announcement of this fact
was made today. At the same time it
was said that the cabinet met in a
brief session today and completed the
draft of the compulsory service bill
to be presented to parliament this
week.
The official statement confirmed
previous reports that the Lord Derby
campaign had proven a failure. 1t
was made public by the government
to show why it was necessary to
adopt some form of conscription. 1t
called attention to the fact that $751;
160 men can be added TO the British
armies by drafting only single men of
military age who are not urgently
needed in other occupations.
The surprising feature of the report
was the statement that about SO per
cent of the married men of military
age responded, whereas only SO per
cent of the single men offered them
selves for service.

London, Jan. 4.-The continuance or
submarine activity in the Mediterra-
mean, which was emphasized to-
day by the news of the sinking of the
British steamer GIengyle, with the loss
Of ten lives has produced profound
impression in all the entente capitals.
There is an insistent demand from the
public for vigorous measures against
the underseas commerce raiders but
the problem is no easy one for the
Anglo-French naval staffs.
The Anglo French press expresses
the opinion that some sort of policing
of several sections of the intricate
Mediterranean coasts and archipela-
gos is necessary. Presumably the oc-
cupation recently by the entente forces
of the island of Castelorizo, off the
south coast of Asia Minor, was one
step in the scheme to provide more
thorough control of the regions where
submarine bases are supposed to exist.
The opinion is expressed here that
the central powers are likely to plead
as justification for the reported fail
ure to give warning to Mediterranean
liners. that these boats have carried
heavy guns for defensive purposes.
There seems to be a general impress
sion in the entente capitals that the
the sinking of the British steamship
