COMMISSIONERS FROM GREAT

Washington. April so.- Great
Britain intends to lay all her war
cards on the table when her com
missioners meet with the Americas
government heads. She will present
fully and frankly all problems. These
viii cover a wider scope than here
tofore announced.
The general question Of military
and financial cooperation viii be the
foremost problem, but other subjects
to be considered are:
Diplomatic questions. such as ul-
innate peace terms; munitions:
wheat supply; general Transports
ton: blockade Of Germany: commu-
nications: aviation and anti-submar-
inc work.
On the FIRST matter-diplomatic
questions-this government antici-
pates that there viii be little diff
castyr In clearing mp such coutfovsr-
sial matters as England's ship seiz-
ures and mail censoring as they az
fected American rights.
With respect to ultimate peace
terms. government heads are saying
nothing further than the United
States is not inclined to make any
separate peace with Germany.
The work Of munitions supply will
be taken up thoroughly and some ar
rangement may be made whereby
England will increase her own out
put giving American firms an oppor-
tunjty to supply American needs.
Wheat supply must be considered.
In this connection, the British prob
ably will give their experience with
liquor In war times and their advice
may have much to do with this gov
ernment's determination with respect
to suggestions for closing distilleries
and breweries which now eat up 4
vast grain supply.
Discussion Of the blockade Of Ger
many will be included In the broader
topic Of general navy cooperation.
This cooperation already is under
way. the United States having taken
over Atlantic patrol work, hitherto
in allied hands.
Anti-submarine work is being de-
veloped. both here and abroad. The
big fleet Of wooden ships Is probably
the key to the whole problem, ss
Germany cannot build submarines
fast enough to keep up with them
and even II she sinks them, she des-
troys only small, cargo in each
case. As America Is planning for

to assist the allies ably in that vital
field. f

SPY LEGISLATION
UP TO congress

tacking the section that. they claim.
though aimed. ostensibly. at hyphens
and dangerous agitators, will COM
pletely mussle every newspaper in
the country.
Fear that under the bill newspa-
pers will be unable to criticize any
government In war time--even such
an incident as the costly Dardanelles
expedition OF England caused much
Of the senate discussion.
Another clause that brought crit
icism was that which permits the
president to declare food embargoes
from any port to any port.
The house judiciary committee late
yesterday finished It's draft Of the
spy bill. Chairman Webb was TO
have the bill prepared by today. 1t
carries perhaps 100 amendments. all,
or nearly all. calculated to soften the
effect Of the bill.
