BIG GUNS ROAR OFF
new ENGLAND COAST

Boston, April 19.-Reports Of heavy
gunire at the entrance Of Massachu-
sets bay sent a thrill along the coast.
Three coast guard stations on Cape
Cod successfully reported to the navy
yard here that they had counted dis
tinct and repeated guns from the
north and northwest.
II was believed by navy officials
that American vessels were engaged
with the enemy.
Inside the cape a heavy fog hung
owe the waters, but outside the
weather was calm and a gentle breeze
was blowing.
No warships were sighted by the
three stations and after thirty min.
utes the firing ceased.
1t was suggested that ships of the
allies. which are constantly on patrol
duty. might have come up with friend
" warships and salutes exchanged.
However, naval men could not under.
stand warships On active duty betray-
Ing their location through naval eti-
Qustte. They believe that there was
no saluting unless prearranged and Of
which there was no knowledge at the
navy yard.

LABOR SHORTAGE Is FEARED
Armour Company to Substitute Wom-
en- Workers for Men.

Chicago, April 19.-Anticipating an
increasing labor shortage superintend-
ents of Armour & Co. have begun lay
ing plans for the substitution Of wom-
an labor in their plants as a val time
necessity.
A new employment bureau, with the
main object In view of recruiting
women workers for positions now held
by men and for the purpose Of better
ing working conditions, will be formed
at once.
Large employers of labor, where
men are being used in departments
where the work can be done by wom-
en-, will soon find 1t an economic me-
cessity to fill the ranks with women
workers, manufacturers predict.

nance bill, providing for issuance Of
$1,000, 900 900 in securities-the largest
single war budget In any nations his
tory-was passed unanimously by the

lies of $4,000, 900, 900, was approved by
the senate with few changes In record

may be accepted by the house.
or the eighty.four senator's present
every one, including all those who
voted against war, except Senator
Lane of Oregon, absent because of i'll
ness, recorded themselves In favor
of providing the funds to prosecute
hostilities. Nearly all the twelve alb
sentees were Ill.
That, In the inability Of the nation
to supply men at once for the fight
ing lines, money should be Americas
immediate contribution to her allies
was the dominant thought expressed
In the debate.
Few senators participated in the
discussion, which was devoid Of par
tisan expression.
Every senator speaking announced
staunch intention TO aid the govern
ment in prosecuting the war to
speedy conclusion.
Only two senators, Borah and Cum
Minis, declared opposition to the pro
posed allies loan. A few favored
raising a larger proportion by taxa
ton of the present generation and less
upon bonds.

COMMITTEE FOR VOLUNTEERS

Washington, April 19.-Opposition
of the ~selective conscription plan got
the upper hand in the house military
committee, voting II to s to have the
new army bill carry a provision first
to try to raise the new force by vol.
unteers.
Meanwhile the bill, including the
CONSUMPTION provision, was approved
by the senate military committee,
10 to 7.
President Wilson went to the Capt.
toll for conferences with congressional
leaders On the administration army
bill and other measures.
The president concentrated his at.
tention on prompt action by congress
on the new army bill, the espionage
bill, the river and harbors bill, con-
tanning provisions for necessary pre-
paredness work in harbors, and sever.
al other measures bearing on the war.
The force of the administration will
be turned first on passage of the army
bill with its select.ve CONSUMPTION
provision in the senate.
Expect House to Fall In Line.
Once the senate has adopted tho
bill administration leaders think 1t
will be easier to get favorable action
by the house. Indications are that
many congressman who have been op-
posing 1t are ready now to vote for 1t.
The president conferred with Chair
man Simmons Of the senate finance
committee, Chairman Fitzgerald Of
the house appropriations committee
and Senators Overman, Owen and
Hoke Smith. He asked for the 20
operation of all In speedy action OF
the administration war bills.

houses he will not sign a rivers and
harbors bill unless it Is without DO.
litical appropriations and unless It
makes provision for defense harbor
work desired by the wal department.
The bill permitting the allies to re.
cruit their citizens in the United
States was passed by the senate by
unanimous consent and went to the
house to wait action there.
