BRITISH A R M I E s IN FRANCE, via London, June 2. 7:3O D. m.-While overcast skies have limited the aerial offensive in the last few days. British pilots continue to bring in accounts of German airplanes breaking to pieces in the air shortly after be- ing attacked. This tendency has been notable for more than fort night. Once shot out of control the German planes have lost their wings, tails and other gears to such an extent that when they finally crash to the ground very little wreckage can be seen.
 A day or two ago British pilot flew at an enemy machine head on, maneuvering at the last mo- ment just in time to avoid a col lision. One of the wings of the British plane scraped one of the German wings. whereupon the lat ter began to fall. The British pi- lot dived after him and was start led to see the Germans damaged wings fly completely off while the tail dragged as if its back was broken.
 Clouds Used
 As Screens by Germans.
 Whether faultiness in so many German machines is due to the speed which the Germans have to turn the mout to meet the British offensive, or to lack of suitable material is a matter of no concern on this side of the line.

aASHlNGION, June Z.-1ne IlrSt kHf of the administration food bills, w already passed by the house, passed the senate late today without a record vote. Numerous amendments were attached.
 The bill as finally accepted by the senate provides for a comprehensive survey of food resources and for the stimulation of agriculture, and re- stricts drastically the storing of food stuffs. fuel an dother necessities and speculation. The restrictive provisions were added by the senate The bill carries a total appropriation of ap- proximately sI1,OO90O0 compared with sl4,77O,O00 as it passed the house.
 Hoarding or storage of food, fuel or other necessaries of life in order to limit the supply or affect prices would be made a felony under the senate amendment, but farmers who hold their own products would be excepted. The amendment restricting futures trading, written by Senator Nelson and voted into the bill, 37 to r, just before passage, piovides:
 Restricts Trading.
 "If at any time during the pendency of the existing war between the United States and the German empire, the President of the United States shall find that dealings in futures in or about any grain exchange unduly or unreasonably raises or enhances the price of wheat or other food cereal to the injury of the people of the United States, he shall at once restrict the traders in such exchange to discon- tinue such trading as specified by him as dealing in futures.
 "ln case such request of the Presi- dent is not promptly complied with, then he is hereby empowered to order such dealing in futures, as last afore said, to be entirely suspended and dis continued for such limited time as he may direct, and if such order is not promptly complied with, he may by proclamation declare such exchange,
  lawful to utilize or permit to be util- ized such building or room as grain exchange Or for any person being trader in grain on such exchange to en- gage in the business there conducted on or at such closed exchange.
 Any person violating any of the provisions of this act shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 or by imprisonment for not more than one year. or by both such fine and i'm prisonment"
 Power Is curtailed.
 The senate also voted to curtail the inquisitorial power of the President in investigation of food resources. The house bill would compel the attend ance of witnesses and submission of books and other records under heavy penalty. The senate agricultural com mittee amended the measure giving the secretary of agriculture authoriza- ton to investigate the food situation, making it the duty of any person when requested by the secretary to answer all questions necessary to car " into effect the provisions of this section" The house appropriation of S2,522. 900 to pay for the survey was accepted.
 The section authorizing the govern ment to sell seeds to the farmers was aimed to provide that sales be for cash only. The power to compel per sons having seeds at their disposal to furnish them to the government was curtailed greatly and the appropriation carried for the work was reduced from s5,77s,000 to s2,500,0O0.

ATTEMPT ID GET ISLAND
 DISCOVERED
American Government Con- hdent South American Na- tion Will Not Be Party To Alliance.
(By Review Leased Wire)

VVPASHINGTON. June 2.-Reports have reached the government w from a source described as
 reliable that Germany is at- tempting to get control of the island of Margarita, off the coast of vene- zuea, for use as a submarine base. The state department has forwarded the information received to Venezuela for the consideration of Venezuelan of- ficials.
 The exact nature of the advice is withheld. but officials permitted it to become known today that the report had caused some concern here. They indicated that they had positive con firmation of overtures designed to se- cure control of the island but that they were uncertain whether the ef- fort had met with any degree of sue cess.
 U. S. Not Worried.
 Officials do not believe that the government of Venezuela would be a party to any such alliance Venezuela is one of the South American govern ments that have joined in protesting against submarine wafare as conduct ed by Germany. although here techni- cal position remains one of neutrality.
 It has been known by the govern ment for weeks. however. that Ger man influences have been actively at v-arlr ir UoDo1uaIa and ;r1;raof fF not direct means have been used by agents of the German emperor to secure popula rand official sympathy.
 Good Site For Base.
 It is suggested here that venezue- las accession Go the German over lures in the case of Margarita is rem dered unlikely by the fact that vene- zuela officials could not fail to real ize the seiousness of passage of the island to the control of an enemy of the United States. It is pointed out that the concession. even though tenn porary. would be clear violation of the Monroe Doctrine and would un-' call for energetic opposition by this government
 Margarita is off the northern coast of Venezuela. near the southeastern corner of the Carribean Sea and with In striking distance of the Panama Canal. It is about 500 miles from Culebra and 1000 from Colon. Its adjacent waters. including the gulf of Cariaco. would make it admirably sit hated as a naval base.

Futile Tax Devices.

The legislator who urged the bill taxing
land notes evidently does not comprehend
how utterly impossible it i for such a
measure 10 benefit the debtors. He seem
ed to think that the taxing Of such notes
would tighten the tax burden Of the land
owners, and was utterly unable 10 see that
the tax would be but an additional burden
upon them
The tax upon such notes would be inevi-
tably added To the interest rates. and II
the legislature were To attempt to prevent
that by law. then some other way would
be found to evade the law.

RENEWING SOCIAL INTERCOURSE
WITH OFFICIAL MATAMOROS.

III for no other reason, the visit of Gen
eral Pershing To Brownsville i important
and most timely, in that it marks the re-
sumption of social intercourse between Of
fetal representatives both military and
civil of Brownsville and Matamoros Due
to strained relations resulting from the
bandit troubles. there had been n cessa-
ton of the farmer social relations be-
tween the military authorities of the Twin
Cities Of the Border. But the bandit trou-
hles ceased long ago. The final withdrawal
of the expedition sent into Mexico against
Villa and the quiet which has prevailed
along the border for months give assurance
that there j. no longer danger OF friction
between the two governments, no further
possibility of misunderstanding TO divide
these neighbors. There exists no reason
whatever 10 prevent the resumption of the
former friendly relations between the two.
This il a it should be. The mutual
friendship maintained between the two
countries for the better part of n century
should be cemented more strongly than
ever by the United States with the new
government now building in Mexico. The
fact that this country assisted 30 largely
in making possible the victory of the on
s~itutionalistS in Mexico should constitute
a bond between the two republics which
will. make their friendship even stronger
and more cordial than ever before.
1t Is; peculiarly fitting that General
Pershing, who j. IA great a diplomat a

Is delegated the pleasant duty of reopen
ing communications between the army posts
