GERMAN REICHSTkG
AGAIN IN SESSION

Amsterdam, May - The German
reichstag resumed its session.
The president of the chamber, DR..
Johannes Kaempf, speaking of the en-
try of the United States into the war,
said new and mighty opponent had
joined the ranks OF Germanys enc
mics.
President Wilson, he said, had de-
clared he was wagng war against
the Germans in the interests of man
kind and on the ground of Justice.
President Wilson, Dr. Kaempf de-
clared had lost his sight in making
this assertion, since he had not stir
red a finger to stop England when
England announced her starvation
campaign against Germany, Il war in
violation of human and international
rights. and again when he rejected
the German proposal to secure the
lives of Americans on American yes
sells in certain routes, which carried
no contraband, and by this rejection
exposed his own compatriots to dan
ger and death.

PROHIBITS USE OF GRAIN
Senate Committee Redrafting Bill to
Stop Making Liquor.

Washington. May As soon as the
Gronna bill, prohibiting the use of
grain in the manufacture of liquor,
can be redrafted and revised 1t will be
ordered farorably reported to the SEN
ate by the senate committee on agri-
culture.
An overwhelming sentiment has de.
veloped in committee that the bill
ought to be adopted as a war meas
ure and it is entirely probable that
the senate may be forced to vote on
the bill before the end Of the present
session.
AS redrafted the bill will be an
emergency measure dependent upon
the war and as such 1t is thought 1t
will be constitutional.
Sentiment against prohibiting use OF
grapes and some kinds of vegetables
in the manufacture of liquor in com
mittee probably will keep these pro-
hibitions from the bill, which will con
fine itself entirely TO cereals.

SENATOR WOULD HANG
FOOD SPECTATORS

Washington, May 4. - The rising
sentiment in congress for legislation
to meet the food problems broke out
in the senate in debate that started
over the high price of seeds, but de-
yelOped into denunciations of food
spectators, with predictions that the
best way to deal with them was to
string them to lamp posts or put them
behind prison bars.
Senators from farming states de-
MED there is any real shortage Of
staple foods in the United States.
Senator John Sharp Williams de-
clared there has been a hysteria
throughout the country and the cause
of high prices was largely psycholog-
ical
He said he believed the German cor
ruption fund recently unearthed in
a federal court in New York may have
been responsible for the hysteria
Word should 90 straight out from
the senate, Senator Williams said,
that there is no shortage of food
The attack on the spectators was
led by Senators Thomas and Borah.
The Colorado senator declared they
were the real enemies Of the nation.
expressed the hope congress would
not adjourn without legislation that
would remedy the evil and said the
lamp post is the thing to cure such
speculation
