der in connection with the

that telegraphic correspond

been covered up" by means
of a code in which terms
used in land deals were en-

appearance Of American troops at

(By Associated Press.)

washington, June 27.-With recruit
ing week half gone war department
officials estimated today that the reg
ular army still is more than $4,000
short Of war strength, the goal it had
been hoped to attain by Friday night.
In the face OF the returns so far It is
apparent that there has been no gen.
eral response among men OF military
age to President Wilson's call for
10000 volunteers to thus complete the
first big military preparation in the
war.
Undoubtedly the remaining days
will see greater activity and officials
still hope great gains in recruiting to-
tails will result.
Only nine states are on the honor
roll Of those which have completed
their quota of war volunteers. Only
eight others have their quota IS per
cent complete.
The percentages OF northwestern
states upon the returns up to Monday
night, follow: Washington, "a; Min
nesota, 81; South Dakota, 81; North
Dakota, 80, and Wisconsin, 20.

Vinous Beverages Dis
cretionary
fRy Associatad Preaa.l

Washington, June 2T.-The admin
istration food control bill passed by
the house was rewritten yesterday by
a senate agriculture subcommittee SO
as to give President Wilson the power
and responsibility Of deciding whether
the nation shall be ''bone dry during
the war and to place iron and steel
and many other products in addition
to food and fuel under government
control. These and other changes are
so satisfactory to many senators who
have been opposing the original draft
of the legislation that both advocates
and opponents last night predicted
passage in the senate by Saturday.
AS substitution for the house pro-
hibition sections which without quail
fication forbid the manufacture of
foodstuffs into liquor, the subcommit-
tee adopted provisions which would
prohibit manufacture, during the
war, of all intoxicating beverages,
and empower the president to COM
mandeer existing supplies OF distilled
spirits, but would authorize the
executive in his discretion to permit
manufacture Of matted, fermented
and vinous beverages and fix their
alcoholic content.
AS rewritten the subcommittee
draft will be considered today by the
agriculture committee and probably
will be reported at once for senate
discussion without material change.
Senators prominent in the bitter
fight against the legislation have an
nounced their support Of the redrafted
measure.
Opposition On Wane.
Other signs of waning opposition
and prompt senate action came in the

tion senators leading recent discussion
yielded to Senators Knox and Nelson,
Republicans and Thomas, Democrat,
for speeches strongly supporting the
control legislation. Future debate
promised to center upon the prohibi-
ton Question, with leaders predicting
an extremely close final vote.
For the house prohibition plan, the
subcommittee substitute provides:
That from and after thirty days
from the date of the approval OF this
act It shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation to use in the
manufacture OF any intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes any
perishable or -perishable feeds,
food or food materials.
whenever the president shall fnd
1t necessary to conserve the perish
able products named he is empowered
to permit the use of products In the
manufacture of vinous liquors.
whenever in the judgment OF the
president the public interest would
be subserved thereby he would be
empowered to permit the limited use
Of the materials mentioned in the
manufacture OF malt or fermented
liquors and to prescribe the alcoholic
content thereof
Could Seize Spirits.
Another section adopted would
