SENSATION SPRUNG
 IN THE HOUSE DEBATE.
Unpublished Paragraph of Trimmer mann Note Read-offer to Establish Submarine Base in Mexico and Arr range Border Attacks.

Washington. April 5.-Representative Miller of Minnesota, republican mem Der of the foreign affairs committee, sprung a sensation during the discus sion of the war resolution in the house this afternoon by declaring that an un- published paragraph of the Zifnmer- mann note offered to establish a sub marine base in a Mexican port, supply Mexico with unlimited quantities of arms and ammunition, and send Ger man reservists in the United States to Mexico.
 The unpublished portion of the Zim- mermann note Miller quoted as fol- lows:
 "Agreeably to the Mexican govern ment, submarine bases will be estab- Iished at Mexican ports, from which will be supplied arms, ammunitions, and supplies. All reservists are order ed into Mexico. Arrange to attack all along the border"
 It has been understood but never of fcially announced that the full text of the Zimmerman instructions to Ger man Minister von Eckhart was not published with the main portion, which revealed the attempt to ally Mexico and Japan in war against the United States. Members of the foreign af- fairs committees in congress, however, have been supplied with the full text, and with other evidences of German intrigues against this government.

 Towns Have Been Summoned.

Asbury Park, N. J.. April Sire which started in the natatorium here tonight spread rapidlp to nearby buildings and an entire block along the beach front was in flames within thirty minutes. Half a dozen hotels are burning and fire departments from surrounding towns have been sum- moned.

SERIOUS DEFICIENCY IN
 WORLDS FOOD CROP.
Institute of Agriculture Sees Alarming
 Situation.

Rome, via Paris, April 5. - The worlds food crop is deficient and the situation is becoming alarming, accord ing to David Lubin, American repre- sentative to the International Institute of Agriculture. MT. Lubin is here to report the facts to President Wilson through Ambassador Page and is urg- ing the imperative necessity of a mobilization of American agricultural resources. To a correspondent of The Associated Press MT. Lubin said:
 For the first time in many years there exists deficit in the supply of corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti- mated at a. total of 30,000,00O bushels less than the normal requirements for countries open to trade. The situa- ton Is worse than was expected last October. The institutes reports indi- <cated then a surplus of more than enough to feed the world until August of this year. when the new crops begin to come in.
 We must profit by Europe's experi- ence becofe meal tickets become ne- cessary. We can avoid high prices by the elimination of waste, by the grow Ing of more food and also by effective organization of our food supply, which Is more important than getting men into the army.

FULL WAR STRENGTH OF REGULARS AND GuAROsMEN
Would Provide Total of 614,ooo Men
 and 22,ooo Officers.

washington, April 5.-Expansion or the present regular army to its rult war strength of 2S7.000 enlisted men and 11,7e0 officers. means many new regiments of all arms to be created by dividing existing regiments ana filing each half to war strength with volunteers or conscripts. The nation al guard regiments. all of which can be called into the federal service un- der existing law. will have approxl- mateIy 327,0 900 men and 10.3OO ofhcers at wacr strength. No new regiments of the guard would be organized and the full limit of the national defence act would be invoked to wipe out any distinction between federal and state forces. Here also volunteers would be received and drafting resorted to only when necessary.
 These two steps would proVlde q total force of 614000 men and 22.OOO officers, to be supplmented by a re- cruit organization for each unit mak- ing an additional 100000 men under training, but to be held in reserve to fill gaps in the active army as they occurred.
 For five months these expanded forces will be subjected to training Of a character hitherto unknown in this country.

 What we will term the material es- timate,'" Secretary Daniels said, re- ferring to the navy budget sumbitted today, "is to provide for additional ships, guns and ammunition. various articles of ships equipage. material and supplies of various kinds. for av- iation, storage facilities for ordnance supplies. additional employees at navy yards, and to meet the added expenses of the navy department
 "T have put this estimate in budget form because it is almost impossible at this to say with any degree of ac- curacy just how much will be needed for a particular purpose. or activity. and furthermore I feel that the de- partment's activities would be less ened if restricted in the use of the money for it may later become neces- sary for use for it now contemplated to give way to some other unforeseen and more pressing object of expendi- ture."

 French Battle
ON A FRONT OF A MILE AND A
 HALF NEAR eoDAT FARM

The Germans and French have met in sanguinary engagement north west of Rheims. where the Germans with picked forces attacked on front of about a mile and half between Sapigneul and the Godat farm. The exact result of the battle is beclouded and conflicting statements from the Berlin and French war offices.

Here the Ger mans suffered heavy casualties bp tanglements and raked by the fire of the British machine guns. Additional gains for the British east and north east of Metz -en-Couture are also chronicled by the British war office.
 Turks Are Making Stand.
 Probably the most momentous oper- ation has been that of the Russians, who. driving from Persia. have cap tured the Mesopotamian frontier towns of Khanikan and Kasrichirin and joined hands with the advance forces of the British coming up from Bag dad. The Turks. however: are mak- ing stand against the Russians in this region to prevent them from crossing the Diala river northwest of Khanikan.
