chamberlain, Count Won Bernstorff,
grandfather of the former ambassa-
dor. Countess Bernstorff," wrote De
Cussy, clears singular fOrename,
America This was bestowed on her
because she was born in that country
during the war of independence. Her

HAITI AND CHINA MAY
join WORLDS ALLIES
Inevitable According to
Dispatches.

London, May 7.-Haiti and China
are on the verge of entering the world
wide alliance against Germany. Presi
dent Artiguenave, of Haiti, has called
on congress to declare war on Ger
many and commission has been ap
pointed to consider the question. A
dispatch from Pekin passed by the
censor, says that China's entry into
the war at an early date seems newt
able.

the ascendency over the protests OF
the president and senate that China
should not enter the war.
The Haitien presidents action was
taken in consequence of the fact among
the victims of the torpedoed French
steamer Montreal were five Haitien
members of the crew and three Haitier

ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE
ABSOLUTE POWER OVER FOOD,
CLOTHING AND FUEL IN
MEASURE SOUGHT.
PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE
SWEEPING RULE BY BILL
Could Take Drastic Action Whenever,
In His Opinion, National Emer-
gency Requested lt-MiIiing
Would Be Regulated-To
Continue During War.

Washington, May 5.-Absolute au.
thority to regulate in its discretion the
production, distribution and prices of
food and other necessities during the
war is asked of Congress by the adj
ministration.
In sweeping bill introduced with
administration approval, by Chairman
Lever of the House agricultural COM
mittee, it is proposed to empower the
President, under the war clause of the
constitution to take certain drastic
measures whenever in his opinion the
national emergency shall require.
"The new BILL" Mr.. Lever explain
ed, deals with all the necessaries of
life, including foods, feeds, shoes,
clothing, fuel and articles required for
their production. The measure is in
tended only to meet the present emer-
gency. 1t is limited to the period of
the war and sufficient time thereaft-
er for readjustment. 1t is based on
the war clauses of the constitution.
Purposes Of Measure.
"The purposes are to stimulate pro-
duction, to reduce waste, to clear the
channels OF distribution, to prevent
boarding, to assure fair prices, to elm
mate injurious speculation, to prohibit
evil practices on exchanges, and to
protect the public against extortion.
"The suggested legislation recog-
nizes that the war will disturb the
normal courses of trade Accordingly,
1t provides machinery, first for stimu-
lating production and regulating dis.
tribution so as to assure fair profit
to those entitled to it, secondly, for
preventing the exploitation of neces-
saries of life by those who aim to take
advantage of the war emergency to
amass unearned fortunes. With these
objects in view, the bill vests wide
authority in the government to con-
troll the situation. .... ..
Factories, plants, mines or other
establishments engaged in producing
necessaries may be reQuisitioned and
operated by the government if it be
essential. Just compensation for the
use is provided. The government is
further authorized to purchase, pro.
duce or otherwise to procure neces.
saries and to sell them at cost"

The children's Poet,

In the st. Nicholas Magazine Hide
garde Hawthorne gives sympathetic
sketch of the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson, whose "Child's Garden" of
Verses" is perhaps the most popular
book of poetry ever written. His pas
sionate attachment to children is ex-
pressed best by Andrew Lang, whom
Miss Hawthorne quotes:
"There was very pleasant trait
in Stevenson's character which, per-
haps, does not display itself in most
of his writings-his great affection
for children. q. In an early letter
he writes: Kids is what is the mat
ter with me. >. Children are too
good to be true He had a natural
infatuatiop, so to say, for children as

were his delight, and he was THEIRS
