Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-05-04

Various small internal differences
have been reported heretofore. but all
related to administrative acts rather
than governmental policy. On the
other hand. the provisional govern
ment has heretofore bowed submits
sively to the demands of the soldiers
and WORK men-as, for instance. in the
sweeping arpy orders recently issued
by Minister Gutchkoff and reported by
Shepherd in dispatches to the United
Press on Monday, where complete
equality between officers and men was
established.
It has long been known that Ger
many is bending every resource and
using every artifice to stir up trouble
among the many diverse elements
whose temporary union in force
achieved the otherthrow of autocracy.
The agitator. Nicholas Lenin, a radi-
cal Socialist, has been generally
credited with being a German agent.
He has been active in aligning one
element against another. There are
several other returned .exiles who are
est Of the German movement. Mean
while, Germany is pressing steadily
for peace through Socialist leaders.
The soldiers and workmen's dele
gates, representing the great bulk of
the Russian people, and, through COM
plete domination of the army, holding
the real power to control, have been
steadily meeting and. heretofore. aid
ing the duma provisional government
in restoring order.

GERMANS SHOW BITTER
HATRED FOR AMERICA

Chicago, May 4.-Germany-as
she is--was revealed to Chicago
last night by James w. Gerard,
former am ssador, who, prob
ably more than any other Ameri-
can, knows the true conditions in
the central empires today.
We are fighting an enemy who
has long been in bitterest ami
mostly our enemy" Gerard said.
mo words of mine can translate
the hatred of Germans for Ameri-
cans. a sentiment fostered by in
cessant propaganda from official
sources; by teaching that we had
furnished ammunition that slew
the sons and brothers of the sur
vivors; by ceaseless work in
planting everlasting poison in
the minds of Germans against US.
Most terrible of all il the vim

LABOR LEADERS OF
GREAT BRITAIN HERE

New York, May 4.-British labor
leaders appointed by their government
as official advisors to American labor
in the conduct of the war, have ar
rived in the United States. and will
proceed to Washington. They come at
the invitation OF the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. They said emphasis
would be placed on the necessity of
avoiding the blunders made by British
labor bodies and that it would be
pointed out that the questions Of
houors and wages should be subordi-
mated during the war.

Not alone did the meeting attack the
provisional leaders for failure to move

by the provisional leaders was the

had been spread that the Russian
constitutional conventions were not to

inference that the workmen and sold

TO THE PRESIDENT
Objections Being Raised
to the Wide Terms of
Measure - Senate and
House Conferees at Work
on the Consumption Bill.

Washington, May with a ire
mendous war emergency program
ahead. congressional leaders settled
down to q fight today to adjourn by
June 1.
After two days of discussion Of the
embargo section in the espionage bill
Senator Overman, in charge of the
measure, declared If the senate did not
get down to cases. today he would
move for night sessions from now on.
If adjournment is to be completed by
June 1, it is admitted that there will
have to be day and night sessions
most Of the time from now on.
GREAT POWERS TO PRESIDENT.
A determined fight is inevitable up
on the food bill, introduced in the
house by Chairman Lever of the agri-
culture committee, giving President
Wilson dictatorial powers in directing
the production, distribution and prices
of food and all other necessities of life
during the war.
It Is even more drastic than the one
submitted to congress by Secretary
Houston.
Out Of the food bill fight promises
to arise two collateral contests around
prohibition bill to be introduced by
Senator Gronna, providing that no
foodstuffs be used in the manufacture
Of alcohol and various measures di-
-rected at food speculation.
TO CURB SPECTATORS.
lone thing that sure Is going to
come out Of this food bill fight is
some drastic law to prevent speculat-
ors from extorting high prices from
the public" Senator Kenyon, father of
the speculative bill and member
OF the agriculture committee, said
today
"rhe only question is how drastic 1t
will be. We are urging the farmer to
increase production, but we can't ex-
pect him to enthuse much when the
Spectator is fixing the prices in or
der to hold up the public"
Another fight is certain to develop
around the. administration taxation
bill. 1t is expected this measure will
get through the house within a week
but unless there are night sessions the
senate will not be able to dispose of
it quickly.
EASY SAILING PROMISED.
There will be no trouble about the
general appropriation bill, the army
appropriation bill, which is now ready
for e-introduction nor the navy in
crease bill
The drastic shipping bill, coming up
from the White House soon may de-
velop a snarl, but for the most part,
both houses are ready to give the
president all the power he wants
within the limits of the constitution.
The CONSUMPTION bill was before the
house and senate army conferees to-
day. The principal differences-age
limits for the draft, and the question
of sending the Roosevelt division to
France-are expected to be ironed out
within few days. Its repassage will
not take long. and the congressional
slate will then be practically clean.

Copenhagen, May A.
Either Germany's war man
ayers are playing their
shrewdest publicity game
since the war began, for the
purpose of causing a relax
alton of Americas war prep
arations-or Germany is
actually beset by the worst
internal dissensions any bel
ligerent has been compelled
to deal with in that time.
ONE SOLUTION PROPOSED.
Private advices today from sources
which appeared to be most authentic
emphasized the seriousness Of this sit
uation in Germany and Austria and
carried the broad hint that one solution
may be appointment of Count Johann
Won Bernstorff. former German Ambas-
sador to America, as successor to For
eign Secretary Alfred Zimmerman.
The appointment would be with the
specific idea that Bernstorff attempt a
reconciliation with the United States
The fact that such information came
through seemingly authentic channels
and was accompanied by vast amount
of other reports of dissensions permits
two conclusions. One may be that
Germany is actually sorely tried. The
other is that She is playing deep
Teutonic game-the idea being to lull
America into belief that dissolution of
Germany may be near that conditions
In the empire indicate no necessity Tor
much war preparation. Such n move
would be in line with other plays for
time which Germany has regularly
practiced
APPROACH OF CRISIS.
The news received here from Ger
many indicates near approach of a
crisis in the central empires. This
news may be summarized as follows
Bad feeling is growing between
Prussia and Austria. Emperor
Karl is spurred on to friction with
Germany by Hungarys open dis
content. Hungarys ruling classes
are said to be fearful of anarchy
unless some hope of peace is shown
to her people.
Persistent reports reach here
that there is growing feeling in
Germany that the submarine war
fare has not been productive of the
results anticipated. The city of
Hamburg, with its vast shipping
Industries. is said now to be ap-
proving the course Of the foreign
office in opposing the submarine
war at the lime that ruthlessness
was first agitated. Its approval
was based on the belief that such a
course had only succeeded in in
creasing the indemnities which
Germany must later pay and in
drawing America into the conflict

ist partys resolution urging

Retention of the Belgian city of
Antwerp is another thing feared
by Hamburg. resulting in the we'll
defined demand by shipping indus
tries that there be no annexation
of territory by Germany-and,
moreover, that Germany so an
nounce right now.
OPPOSITION TO ZIMMERMANN.
Since revelation OF the Zimmerman
scheme to align Mexico and Japan with
Germany against the United States,
opposition to the foreign minister has
increased. Liberals are still ostensibly
supporting him. however, probably be-
cause he is the only nom junker in Of
flee in Germany.
On the other hand, proponents Of
Bernstorff point out his complete ia =
miliarity with America and America MS
is something for which there is desper-
ate need in the foreign office. More
over, it is held Bernstorff might very
effectively work for adjustment of
Americas quarrel with Germany.
German officials are now said to rea :
lie how completely they were wrong
in estimating America. The hardest
blow Of all comes in their realization
that America intends to fight a great
war and not paper war. thinner
mann is blamed for not having known
that America would go the limit. Bern
storff is figured as likely to correct this
mistake by restoring German Ameri-
can relations.
FEAR STRENGTH OF DEMOCRACY
But not alone in actual war strength
is America now being feared in Ger
many. The war chiefs are apprehen-
sive that the great weight OF American
democracy thrown into the balance
against Germany may result in vast
Strengthening of the democratic peace
party. 1t is reputed that this effort TO
strengthen the democratic peace move
is already being exerted from America
on Hungary.
There are other reports which some
way or another elude the censor and
turn up here as evidence of dissension
in the central empires. The regularity
with which they arrive in the face Of
the most strict censorship Germany
has ever had in force may possibly in
dictate deliberate circulation of such
reports by the government.
