TO FURNISH FERTILIZER
FOR PLANTERS AT COST
Senate Passes E. d. Smiths Bill for
Purchase OF Nitrates and Distriba-
tion Among Farmers Of Atlantic
SeabOard-WilI Increase reed
Crops.
cBy P. H NcGowan).

Washington, May 1.-The senate
today passed, 50 to 8, the joint res
olution of Senator E. D. Smith OF
South Carolina, authorizing and dl-
recting the president to procure sach
stocks of nitrate of soda as he may
determine to be necessary for IN
creasing production in the year 1917
and to dispose of same in the way
which may seem best.
There is made Immediately avail
able for this purpose s10,GGo,Oe0,
and it is understood that the gov
ernment will at once, with the pas
sage of the bill last night providing
for the use of German ships, take
steps to operate lines from Southern
ports to markets in South America
for the purpose of bringing to this
country dried blood and tankage acc
essary in fertilizer ingredients.
Increase in production of food
crops, mostly in South Atlantic States,
is the object sought. The bill, intro
duced by Senator Smith of South
Carolina, provides for transportation
of nitrates from Chile in government
vessels and their sale by federal au-
thorities to farmers.
Many Southern farmers and agrl-
cultural organizations indorsed the
measure. Senators Smith of South
Carolina and Smith, of Georgia told
the senate that the government could
buy nitrates now stored in this coun-
try, sell them to the farmers and later
replace them by bringing in more
from Chile. Several senator's who ex-
pressed fear. that nitrate supplies
needed for manufacture Of powder
might be depleted were told that pres
ent supplies are sufficient for two
years.
The South Carolina senator said
that by making nitrates available at
reduced prices, the corn and cotton
crops of the South Atlantic seaboard
could be increased from 40 to 100
per cent. The proposed appropria-
ton, he said, had the approval OF
Secretary Houston.
Senator Simmons of North caro-
lima declared middlemen's profits and
lack of transportation facilities from
Chile were responsible for exorbitant
nitrate prices at present.
Senators Smoot Townsend, Ere
linghuysen, McCumber and other Re-
publicans opposed the bill as unneces-
sary. Senator Smoot declaring Chile's
total annual exports could be bought
for the s10,0O0,000 appropriated un-
der the measure.

AMERICA WILL SEND
MEN TO FRANCE SOON
administrator Has Offered Troops
to Allies for Immediate Service
Shipping Problem Great Deterrent.

washington, May 1.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
It became known definitely today
that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage Of world ship
ping may make it impracticable to
send them at once. In spite of OBJ
iections of the general staff to putting
any American force on the firing line
before the great war army has been
raised and trained, the administra-
ton has determined that the small
contingent earnestly desired by
France for the moral effect shall be
sent as soon as possible. The gen.
eral belief here is that the way soon
will be found.
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in France
shall be made up of regulars or Ma
tional Guardsmen Or both has not
been worked out The subject was
not discussed at today's cabinet meet
ing but Secretary Baker remained az
forwards for a conference with Pres
ident Wilson.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops in
France, as the great plea OF their
mission has been for troops with the
American flag. They have pointed out
that this is needed to convince the
Germans beyond doubt that all Amer
ica's resources have been thrown into
the battle.
The British also are known to be
anxious to have Americans in France
as a final earnest Of American partl-
cipation, but there is reason to believe
that they have a somewhat more de-
tached view than the French. Over
come by the wholeheartedness OF
American cooperation in the war, they
believe that the one essential IS to
marshal the common resources to the
greatest advantage. With their re-
sponsibility for tonnage their decision
about the advisability OF sending an
expeditionary force is uncertain.

CARRANZA TAXES
OATH OF OFFICE

Mexico City, May 1.-Venustiano
Carranza late today took the oath OF
office as the first constitutional pres
ident of Mexico since the assassina-
ton of Francisco Madero on Feb
ruray %, 1913, backed by a majority
OF nearly 100000 votes given him by
the MeXicon people at the March
elections. President Carranza drove'
from the national palace to the
chamber of deputies and swore to up
hold the new constitution.
President Carranza left the pres1-
Dental gate at the palace at o'clock
in an open carriage. Seated beside
him was Gen. Obregon, minister OF
war in the provisional cabinet and
the man who more than any other is
credited with enabling the president
to weather the storms of the last four
years. The carriage was escorted by
the survivors Of the signers of the
plan of Guadeloupe, which formed
the basis of the revolutionary scheme.
The streets were lined by double
ranks of soldiers who presented arms
as the carriage passed. At the cham
Der of deputies President Carranza
was received by committee of con-
gressmen who led him to the rostrum,
where the president ofs the chamber
administered the oath. The ceremony
was extremely simple, consisting OF
the reading Of the oath and Gen. Car
ranza's reply, Il swear it, The presl-
dent then returned to the palace.
There United States Ambassador
Fletcher, as ranking member Of the
diplomatic corps, offered the presl-
dent the congratulations OF foreign
nations on MeXico's return Of constl-
tutional government.
