House Committee Agrees on This
Amount For River Work in Next
Appropriation Bill.

Washingtor.-Six million dollars for
the Mississippi river has been Agreed
on by the houes committee on rivers
and harbors. Chairman Sparkman be-
Ing among those who advocated that
sum for the next appropriation bill to
be reported by his committee. This
means that whether or not the newly
created committee on flood control is
able to provide for the Mississippi
river, it will be cared for in h next
rivers and harbors bill. The allow
ance thus recommended will go to-
ward continuing the usual work in the
interest of that important waterway.
Representative Humphreys Of Mis-
sissippi will be the chairman of the
new committee on flood control and
Representatives Garrett of Tennessee
and Russell of Missouri will be vice
chairmen. An Arkansas congressman
will also be made a member of the
committee, which will consist of II

Members of the house and senate
have received a number of kilograms
in regard to the flood situation in Ar
kansas and Mississippi. Representa-
tive Humphreys said that the Missis-
sippi river commission had a fund of
81, 600, 900 available for use in caring
for the flood sufferers.

Capture of Dunkirk in the

London.-A great artillery battle
along the whole western front con-
tinues day and night. The point of
most intense activity is in the Neu-
Vile sector. just elo the Belgian
border, where the Germans have swept
over the first line French positions
on a front Of 800 yards.
Extensive and violent as the west
ern fighting is, evidences accumulate
showing that this is but the prelude
to an attempt on both sides to secure
a decision in France and Flanders.
A dispatch from Berne quotes the
Berlin Vossische Zeitung as saying
that the Germans are aware that a
big Franco-British offensive is plan
g in Artois and that "the Germans
are fully prepared"
An Amsterdam dispatch gives a re-
port from the Belgian frontier that
600, 900 Germans have been sen to
that front. not only as a preparation
against the allies offensive, but with
which to launch a great Teutonic
drive.
The German intention, it is said, is
to attempt a crushing offensive along
the channel coast and to capture Dun
kirk. AS one move in this attempt,
the Amsterdam report says, the Ger
mans are planning an extension of
the Belgian port Of Zeebrugge SO it
will shelter more warships, which, it
Is said, have been constructed on the
canal leading to Bruges.
A German gain reported in the Ber-
lin official report was made at Vimy,
near the western end of the French
front. Vimy is two miles northwest
Of Melville, near which the Germans
late in January captured. 500 yards
of French positions.

Washington Optimistic.

Observation-Disclosures Stone OF the
senate foreign relations committee
said, after conference with administra-
ton officials, that it was his impress
sion that the Lusitania case was "prac-

details.
There was no indication whether
the president had decided whether Ger
many's latest proposal was sa~tisfac-
tory or unsatisfactory.
President Wilson took up with his
cabinet the latest draft of the pro-

hopes will bring the negotiations over
the Lusitania disaster to a termina-
ton satisfactory to the United States.
Official indication or announcement
whether the offer of the Berlin gov
eminent is satisfactory is expected

American lives was wrong. h an
nouncement was taken As strengthen

The principal consideration of the
United States now is that there shall
be an acknowledgment by Germany
that the sinking of an unresisting mer-
chairman without warning is in con-
t%ravention Of naval warfare and shall
be permanently discontinued. The
German convention is that such assur-

Washington.-The German consul.
Franz Bopp, has been indicted in San
Francisco by a federal grand jury in
connection with the so-called Crowley
plot to blow up mun1cion plants and
interfere with commerce In munitions
OF war, according to a report received
at the department of justice.
Bopp was reported to be indicted
under the Sherman antitrust law and
under the section of the penal code
which forbids the conspiracy to set on
foot military expeditions from the
United States against a friendly ma
ton. Details of the indictment were
lacking here, but officials understood
that this section was %resorted to be-
u of alleged plans against Canada.
Twenty indictments were returned
also at San Francisco by the same
grand jury in the Sacramento cas-
involving the making of false clear
ance papers in connection with the
steamship Sacramento which was at
sea using San Francisco as a abse.
Two of the alleged plots for which
Bopp and others we're indicted, in
volved plans, for the blowing up of
tunnels on ACanadian railway, it is
charged, and were designed to ham,
per shipments to the Eastern sea
board and England. Bopp is believed
by department of justice officials to
be the head Of an organization which
framed the plots with Crowley as the
active agent who attempted to carry
them out.
Officials pointed out that there is
no question as to the right to indict a
consul Of another country.
