IT, is. essential to aid in winning the
war.
The action Of the House in au-
thorizing such huge sum-the
largest single appropriation which
has ever been submitted to Congress
without proctracted debate and
parliamentary jockeying. will be un.
precedented in the annals Of Congress.
Equally prompt action Is expected in
the Senate.
In .appropriating for the new
aviation service the House will give
blanket authorization without
knowing precisely how the great fund
will be spent except In a general way.
Congress knows from the terms Of
the bill that approximately 1900 Of
ficers, trainers. student flyers, and
enlisted men are to be recruited and
that 1t is the War Departments pur-
pose to build "a minimum of 2O.OOO
airplanes." But beyond this the War
Department has hrmly declined to
make public any detailed plans, for
fear that spies might transmit the
information TO the enmey.

aero BILL TODAY
Measure Contains Largest Single
Appropriation Ever Sub
mitted to Congress.

The greatest aircraft program in
the worlds history. contemplating an
expenditure Of $40 100000 for an
American air fleet, will be passed by
the House in record-breaking speed
before adjournment tonight Majority
Leader Kitchin made this announce
ment yesterday following the favor
able report made to the House on
the Dent bill, authorizing the tremen-
dous project. by the House Militarr
Affairs Committee.
House leaders last night decided to
place the lid down tight on unneces-
sary debate when the measure is call
ed up at today's session. In view of
the necessity which administration
leaders felt for suppressing argu-
ments submitted at the recent hear
ings before the Military Committee,
the House will be asked TO pass the
bill on the statement Of officials that

SENATOR IS MUzzLED
BY Vice PRESIDENT
Gore Is flushed with His Substitute
in Food Bill.

The administrations food control
bill received boost yesterday at the
same time that Senator Cores sub
stltute received setback. The okla
homa Senator attempted to bring up
his brain-child, but Vice President
Marshall side-tracked it until the
Chamberlain bill has been completed
Necessarily, this gives the Chamber
lian bill all the advantage.
As expected. the President wrote a
letter yesterday to Senator Martin,
the Democratic floor leader. Mr..
Wilson expressed a desire for more
speed in the food legislation. But he
refrained from expressing a prefer
ence for any of the three bills now
hanging In the balance. 1t is known,
though, that the President does not
wish to lose the chance of govern
mental control over many of the
''necessaries."
This idea was substantiated when

to cooperation with the Socialists and
Radicals. The centrum represents the
Catholic population of Bavaria, Baden
and the Rhine Provinces and has al
ways maintained close touch with Ro-
man Catholic Vienna Whether or
not Erzberger received direct inspi-
ration from Emperor Charles for his
demand for peace without annexa-
tions or indemnities. It is certain that
he was in conference with many Aus
trian political leaders and that these
leaders in company with their en-
peror ardently desire Immediate peace.
Furthermore, Count Eisza no longer
stands in the way OF peace on the
basis of the status quo ante bellum,
with his desire to retain Mt. Low
chen and the northeastern corner of
Serbia. The new leaders of Hungary
are for peace without anneXations or
indemnities. The young Premier
Count Esterhazy is a political pupil
OF Count Andrassy. For many years
he has been one of Andrassy's political
lieutenants, and he is still under the
influence of Andrassy and Apponyi,
both of whom fervently desire peace
without annexations or indemnities
ne llllluGTCe Ol AuSlIld ana
Hungary is, therefore, behind the de-
mand of the German liberals. for an
immediate peace without annexations
or indemnities.
Though the spectacular attacks of
Erzberger and the centrum on the
goyernmenet are the immediate occa-
sion of the present crisis. its funda-
mental causes lie much deeper, in the
Increasing pangs OF undernourishment
and in the establishment with the
ability of the submarine to force Eng
land to immediate peace. Although
Germany's food supply will hold out
until the present crop is harvested,
the sufferings of the 25,CO0.OO0 Ger
mans of the lower classes have been
intensified greatly during the past five
months
Kaiser the Ope Man.
The general suffering and disllu-
siOnment demands scapegoats. 1t ap-
pears certain that Zimmerman will
be sacrificed and ;he chancellor may
follow him into retirement. The cham
'cellor's position has become almost i'm
possibly difficult because OF the fact
that he does not agree with any po-
iitical party in the nation on the ques-
tions which are vital today; namely.
internal reform and peace. He is
unwilling to subscribe to the demand
of the Socialists, Radicals and many
Of the members of the Centrum, for
peace without anneXations or in
IDENTITIES. He opposes violently the
demand of the Conservatives and
most of the National Liberals for
large anneSations
He will not subscribe to the demands
OF the Socialists. Radicals, National
Liberals and members of the Centrum
for the immediate institution of con-
troll OF the chancellor by the Reichs-
tag. He is too liberal to stand with
the Conservatives in opposition to any
alterations whatever in the govern
mental systems of Prussia and the
empire. So long as he has the sup
port OF the Kaiser. the chancellor can
stand without the support of any par
liamentary group. And the decision
in regard to his dismissal, like the
decision in regard to internal reform
and the decision in regard to peace,
rests, in the last analysis, with the
Kaiser.

FOR MILITIA IN EVE
Washington, March 28.-The stuff
that Sherman said was hell must be
the portion, sooner or later, Of the
big force which will probably be de-
manded of congress next week:
Military men say that the country
ought not to be misguided into the
belief that the boys today so jaunty
in their khaki-COlOTed uniforms and
those who may in future be called to
the cOlOrs are to do merely police
work
1t is true that industries, ports,
bridges, ETC., will be pOliced, but it
would be a mistake to imagine that
America can enter the war without
its soldiers getting a Whit of gas
fumes and feeling the blow Of burst
ing shapnel.
1t will be a queer sort Of a war into
which America would go if we did
our fighting with gold-buying the
services Of allied soldiers, as it were
and did not bIacken our hands with
powder smoke, military men have
said
Washington.-Pres. Wilson has
taken all steps within his power to
bring navy to its maximum man
strength for present. He may still
ask congress that it be raised to 1OO,-
900 men.
He still has several ways open
whereby he can bring land forces to
greater strength, though speculation
is that he will get his main increase
by asking for volunteers or by haV-
ing congress pass a compulsory
training law.
Means whereby larger army could
be obtained are:
Increase of militia from 100000
men to full war strength, 100000.
Increase of army from 10000 to
