Germans Admit Loss of
 Many of Their Submarines
 in Attacks by the Allies

Washington, May 1.-The increas- ing efficiency of the allies in sub marine destruction was recognized in speech by the German secretary of the navy in the Reichstag on May 10. Official accounts of the speech reach ing here report the German secretary as saying that while the submarine warfare had achieved far greater rel suits than was expected. certain number of submarines had been lost as the result of improved means of destruction devised by the allies.
 Another official telegram says the Berliner Tageblatt of May 9 com plained bitterly of the Instructions being placed by the government on the progress of the committee for dis cQssing the system of government
 The sittings of the committee so far as is known from the very meagre re- ports," the account says, make on those outside the committee a highly peculiarly and painful impression. The bureaucratic spirit of our government officials and their complete stranger der forever the resolutely necessary changes in the government The gov ernment. however need not conceal from itself the fact that public dis appointment after the message of the Kaiser will lead to very serious conse- quenceS."

THE CENSORSHIP CLAUSE ID REMAIN IN ESPIONAGE BILL Senate Is Expected to Reach Final Vote on Measure
 Before End of
 Week

Washington, May 1.-The Senate failed today to obtain final vote on the admin istration espionage bill with it's press cen- sorship and embargo sections. but under the unanimous consent agreement which governs it's considerations the discussion tomorrow will be sharply limited and even If night session is necessary the measure probably will be passed before the week ends.
 With the censorship provision modified as suggested by Senators Cummins and Thomas last night to make it's terms less general there>is little doubt that the bill will be put through despite the hard fight made against it. The modified language was voted into the bill formally late to- day.
 It would authorize the President to pre- scribe the regulations to prevent specifi- cally the disclosure of information re- specting disposition of armed forces A clause excepting proceeding in Congress was stricken out. The section as origin ally drawn defined the Presidents au- thority only in general terms.
 Senator Johnson of California had a mo- tion pending at adjournment tonight to eliminate all censorship provisions from the bill, but leaders were confident the modified provision will stand.

Wants to Raise Volunteers, But Will Not Carry Fight to Any Extreme
 Limit

Washington, May 11.-Senator Harding and Representative Gardner, leading ad- vocates in the Senate and House of Col onel Roosevelt's plan to raise a volunteer division, received a telegram from the colonel tonight saying he hoped none of his friends in Congress would carry their fight for authorization of the plan to the point of seriously delaying enactment of the army draft bill.
 The authorization is omitted from the bill as agreed on in conference, and there will be an effort to put it in as an amend ment when the conference report is called up Both Senator Harding and Represen- tative Gardner said tonight, however, that they had no intention of attempting to block, approval of the conference measure.

Gloomy Picture Painted for Benefit of Senate Finance Committee Consider
 ing Measure
FORDNEY LEADING FIGHT IN HOUSE IN
 FAVOR OF PASSAGE
Agrees With Kitchin That Law Is Drastic, But Says It Is Necessary to
 Raise Money

Washington, May 11.-While the House debate on the $1, ,S00,000,000 war tax bill was getting under way today, the Senate finance committee heard violent protests from big and little interests on which the new war levies would fall.
 Manufacturers who would have to pay the increased excess profits tax, distillers, brewers and soda fountain interests affected by the higher rate on alcoholic and soft drinks and to- bacco companies hit by the tobacco tax all told the Senate committee that they faced ruin if the bill went through as presented in the House. Nearly every witness declared his particular business seemed to have been made the target for an unjust and exorbi- tant tax
 UNDER FIRE IN HOUSE
 In the House, too, many portions of the bill were under fire but the reply of democratic and republican leaders in charge was that the money must be raised, and only high taxes could pro- vide it. Representative Fordney of Michi- 1 means committee. made four-hour speech for the measure. He said he agreed with Democratic Leader Kitchin that the bill had some faults, but that on the whole it was equitable and should be passed to meet the war emergency. Only the excess profits, liquor, beer, soft drinks and tobacco schedules were com sidered today by the Senate committee. which opened hearings before the measure came over from the House in order to hasten final congressional action The hearings are expected to close Tuesday.
 HOUSE DEBATE
 The income tax increases and the rise in postal rates consumed a large part of the time today in the House debate. Some representatives suggested that the tax on big incomes was not high enough. and others opposed vigorously the pro- posal to increase the postage rate on sec ond class matter by creation of a zone system
 Replying to critics of the income cax section, Mir Fordney told the House that there is limit to which the govern ment can go and take from man his income until he begins to evade the law.
 There is no law in this country or any other" he said, that compes a corporation to pay dividends. The minute you have taxed the corporations to a point where they see you are about to confiscate their property, they will pass to surplus their earnings instead of pay ing it in dividends. In maKng up these income tax rates. the committee were mindful to these possibilities"
 MANN ASKS QUESTION
 Republican Leader Mann asked if it would not be fairer to tax newspaper and magazine advertising than to put the proposed additional postage rate on sec cond class mail matter. MT. Fordney re- pled that this would be a tax on volume of business and an unjust tax.

Lansing Says No Agreement
 Has Been Made Not to Make a Separate Peace

Washington, May 11.-Secretary Lansing today denied published reports that the United States has an agreement with the allies not to make separate peace with Germany by saying:
 There is no agreement, written or un- written, relative to peace"
 When pressed to say whether the sub ject had been discussed informally. MT. Lansing declined to discuss the subject further. He would not intimate that there was any probability of the United States acting separately, but said the question of an agreement never had been raised.
 Interest in the attitude of the govern ment springs from the announcement that the German chancellor soon is to make another offer of peace terms.
