TO MOBILIZE U. S. INDUSTRIES
Bill Approved by President Introduced
in House Creates National Council
for Purpose.

Washington, May 24.-Creation of a
national council to mobilize the indus
trial resources of the country for use
in time of war is proposed in bill
approved by President Wilson and in
troduced today in the House by Chair
man Hay of the military affairs COM
mittee.
The measure would provide for a
council to consist of seven members
of the cabinet with the power to NOM
mate for the approval of the President
an advisory commission of seven mem
bers specially qualified to aid in MAX
ing a survey of the industries of the
country and to create relations that
will make possible in time of need
the immediate concentration and util-
ization of all the industrial resources
of the nation
Among the duties of advisory COM
missioners would be to Investigate and
recommend to the President the 1oca-
ton of railroads in reference to con-
centration of troops and the mobiliza-
ton OF resources in time of war; to
increase the domestic production of
articles and materials essential to the
support Of armies and the people dur
ing the interruption of commerce; to
give information to manufacturers re-
garding the class of supplies needed
by the government, and to develop
seagoing transportation. None Of the
men engaged in the work would draw
a salary, only his actual expenses be-
ing paid. An initial appropriation of
s2OO,OO0 is asked for the work Of the
survey during the first year.
Agitation for such legislation has
been widespread since the beginning
| of the European war. The depend
ence of the United States on other
countries for its dyestuffs and nitrates
has been urged particularly as demon
strating the need for action. Wit
nesses before various committees also
have urged that almost every indus
try in the United States would be will
ing to assist the country in preparing
for defense, if work they could do was
outlined.

Somebody that's never done any.

PEACE RIDER IN NAVY BILL
Provision for World Disarmament
Conference Nay Cause Consider
able Discussion in Congress.

Washington, May 25.-The elabor-
ate report explaining the 241 million
dollar naval appropriation bill was
submitted to the House today by the
naval committee.
A provision that may cause consid-
cradle discussion would empower the
President at the close of the present
war to invite all world powers to a
conference for the purpose of organ
izing an international tribunal for set
tlement Of disputes and to discuss dis
armament and would provide that if,
before the bills appropriations are
contracted for, competitive arma-
ments should be rendered unneces-
sary, expenditures inconsistent with
any engagements entered into might
be suspended by presidential order.
An item of 100000 is included for ex-
penses incident to the proposed con
ference.

FIERCE GUN FIRE
HOLDS GERMANS
B0mbardment and Infantry al
tackS Continue unabated
in Vicinity of Verdun.
TEUTONS CLAIM SMALL GAIN
Section of French Trenches Occupied
After Fierce Infantry Attacks
italians Repulse Austrians.

London, May 26.-The gigantic bat
tie before Verdun continues undated.
On both sides of the Mouse river,
northeast and northwest of the fort
ress, the Germans are keeping up
their bombardments and vicious in
fantry attacks, while the French are
replying to the German guns virtually
shot for shot, and under a whitening
fire holding the Germans at almost
every point.
One more gain, however, has been
made by the Germans. After recap
turing Fort Douaumont and taking
trenches south and southwest of the
fort, the Germans to the west have
occupied a section of French trenches
after a Series of attacks, in all Of
which they were repulsed with heavy
casualties, except the one where they
penetrated the French lines.
Around Douaumont a heavy artil-
Iery duel is in progress, and north
west of Verdun the Germans have in
creased their artillery fire against the
French on Hill 304, probably prepare
tory to another infantry attack for
possession of this much fought for
vantage point
In the region southeast of Trent
and across .he border in Italy, Rome
reports the repulse of Austrian at
tacks and the throwing back of the at
tackers in disorder. In the Astico-

the Austrians. IN the Asiago-Sugana
valley district, the situation is IN
changed.
Petrograd reports junction of Rus

Cossacks which was officially report
ed several days ago from London to

TO RETAIN MISSIONARY BOARD
Methodists Take Decisive Action in
General conferenee-Further Steps
Taken to Unite Church.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May Is
Action OF widespread importance to
Methodism was taken today by the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church which by an over
whelming majority voted against abol-
ishing the missionary episcopacy and
later decisiveIy Endorsed plans that
may lead to the unifcation of the
Methodist church in the north and
south before the next quadrennial ses-
sion.
Lively debate marked the proposal
to advance all missionary bishops to
the grade of bishops, with full powers,
and to elect no more bishops whose
episcopal authority is limited to the
foreign mission field. 1t was defeated.
The board of bishops was given the
power to decide if the present confer
ence shall meet again in 1918 to con-
slider the plan for Methodist unity.
Otherwise the proposal will not reach
the northern church officially until
1920 when the next general conference
meets.
Almost the only obstacle to the pro-
posaI was Immediately removed by the
action of Bishops Earl Cranston, John
W. Hamilton and Joseph S. Hartzell,
who are to be retired at the end Of
this session. If the session were pro-
longed until 1918, they could not be
legally retired until that time.
The three bishops in turn appeared
before the delegates and asserted that
if the movement for the union of
Methodism would thereby be ad-
vanced they would willingly ask to be
retired at once. The conference re
ceived the announcement with great
enthusiasm.

Germans Gain.

Although they were hard held to
the northeast, the Germans would not
be denied at LIE Mort Homme and,
after being moved down by the French
artillery and machine guns with san
culinary losses in several attacks, they
finally gained footing in trenches to
the west of this much coveted posi-
ton. Their tenure of the trenches
was short-liYed, however, for the
French in a counter-attack immediate
ly drove them out.
Italy's first anniversary of her en-
trance into the war found her forced
back by the great Austrian offensive,
and a general retirement to their main
lines of defense in the region south of
Bevereto and Sugana, southeast of
Trent.
While along the Russian front the
usual bombardments have continued
almost exclusively in the Pripet river
region, the Russians in an infantry at
tack drove the Germans across the
Voselhu river and destroyed their
trenches.
