BRITISH DEMAND
FULL REPORTS ON
SINKING OF SHIPS
Lord Northcliffe Leads Cru
SADIE Against British Ad-
miralty and Supported by
the Press and Public.

London, April 30-The British adj
miralty was under furnace blast of
heat of public clamor for rehabili-
tation today
Lord Northcliffe. the man who led
the great slake-up of the war office,
and Lloyd Georse's appointment as
minister of munitions, was behind to-
days movement for reorganization OF
the naval branch. Press and public
appeared to agree with him in the
liveliest fashion.
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The opposition to the admiralty
reached the house of commons today
when Questions were asked of the first
lord of the admiralty, Sir Edward Car
son.
LAS the number of German subma-
rines is increasing, we must expect
corresponding increase in the danger
to shipping" he replied, referring to
the statistics of sinkings. -
CAUSES OF ATTACK.
The admiralty is under attack from
three directions. First, there is wide-
spread criticism Of it's failure more
successfully to combat the German
submarine menace; second, the ad-
miralty Is blamed for insufficient
coast protection, permitting num-
Der of German destroyer raids on sea
coast cities; third. and probably most
important, the public is aroused over
suppression of full facts as to the
seriousness of the submarine cam
pagh and allied losses.
Lord Northcliffe is leading the way
in this criticism, directing most of
his energy toward forcing the admir-
atty to give full facts on submarine
operations. He advances the theory
in which he is supported by the pub
lic-that IL England was aware OF ex-
actly how the great inroads on her
food consumption have been, due to
submarines. the government would
have an easier time applying economy.

FOREIGN SERVICE
EXPECTED BY THE
IDAHO GUARDSMEN

There was no surprise expressed at
the adjutant generals headquarters
when 1t was announced by Washing
ton dispatches that state troops might
soon be on their way to somewhere
in France" Officers in charge Of the
department received an intination
some time ago there was a possibility
of this action being taken.
While there is a strict censorship
over all war department orders and
the censor refuses to permit the
of troops within or without
the state becoming known. 1t was
gathered that the latest dispatch re-
garding the forwarding of National
Guardsmen to foreign soil to train
within earshot of the booming can
mons on the western front, is anthem
tic and IL such an order is received il
will not cause great deal of surprise.
At the present time Idaho troops arc
scattered over the state and northwest
on police duty guarding railroads and
other property. There are compare
lively few of the troops in the mobiu-
cation camp at the Boise barracks.
Several of the units will probably re-
main there permanently to guard the
governments property. Company @
OF Caldwell and K of Bull were the
last two commands to leave for some
where in Idaho" for guard duty. They
left Sunday. Company L of Weiser
arrived from that city Saturday and
is now comfortably located in the

two brief sentences:

soldier and lay upon his tomb the
palm we offer our soldiers who have

Two French officers came forward
with the bronze wreath from the
French mission, the humblest and the
highest mark Of honor which the
French nation can accord the dead.
Bending over the marshal passed

As Marshal Joffre passed back

came forward with the British wreath
OF lilies and oak leaves tied with the
colors Of the three allied nations. He
too entered the tomb and placed the
British token beside the French, while
Lieutenant General Bridges stood out

There was neither music nor ap-
plause. Except for the brief words of
the speakers, the eternal silence and
peace Of the place were not broken.

TRY TO BRING
ABOUT STRIKE.

London, April So.-what tomorrow

alike.
Austrian Socialists and trades unions

dispatches announcing this decision
limited at considerable apprehension
that German workmen would follow
this example. They detailed wide-
spread efforts by labor unions and So
cialist leaders to avert any tie-up in
Germany.
Just how far the strike agitation
has gone in the kaiser's empire and
how many workmen will join In the
demonstration tomorrow has been
successfully concealed by the German
censorship. What details have come
out OF Germany are contradictory. Dis
patches from Holland asserted that
German Socialists were working
against the strike and quoted Count
Won Reventlow, in the Berlin Tages
Zeitung as denying that the Social
lists were aiding in suppressing the
strike scheme. AS against this, other
Berlin information asserted that the
Socialist organ Vorwaerts today
warned its readers in flaring type not
to join any movement which would
curtail the output of munitions.

The general strike in the central

Of the people against insufficient food.
According to best available informa-

CHIEF CONTENTION
IN THE DRAFT BILL
Measure Will Go Into Con-
ference After the Senate
Debates Motion to Sub
stitute Its Provision.

Washington, April S0.-Rules of
congress have precipitated, a tangle
that again throws the consumption bill
into doubtful state.
Forced to vote again on the measure
through one of the most unusual par
liamentary situations in the history
Of congress, the senate faces the pos
sibility of further prolonged debate on
the bill before it passes.
Democratic leaders, however, will
make determined effort to get action
today and say they are confident Of
success
Senator LaFollette is the stumbling
block. He is ready, Immediately, the
bill comes up. to introduce his ~ end
ment calling for a referendum on con-
scription. 1t will take an hour to read
his amendment and he may devote
hours to discussion Of it.
Senator Gronna also has an amend
ment providing the stopping of grain
distribution to breweries and distil-
leries-another subject which may take
hours.
In other words, the bill today is in
the same position it was a week ago,
subject to the introduction Of all
amendments, which have been intro
duced and discussed for hours during
the last week.
EXPECTS NO DELAY.
Senator Chamberlain, who Is in
charge of the bill in the senate, Is
confident that many amendments pre-
viously introduced will not be again
presented because the vote went
against them before and that whatever
amendments are offered will be dis
posed of with such dispatch that 4
vote will be secured late tonight.
On the other hand. there are some
who think with the oratorical blasts
again opened the senate may devote
several. days or more to discussion.
There is possibility Of the senate bill
being sent to the house for action be-
cause a rule could be secured there
limiting debate and assuring the dis
patch of the bill to conference within a
few days. This would spoil LaFollette's
scheme to precipitate a discussion of
his amendment.
FULL DEBATE PERMITTED.
AS matters stood today, the senate
proposed to move substitution Of it's
draft provision for that in the house
bill. Full debate is again permitted
under the rules. though IL Senators
LaFollette, Gronna and others do not
interfere the motion will go sailing
through.
The measure must go to a confer
ence committee of the house and SEN
ate, there to smooth out mainly the
age limit provision, set by the senate
at "a and by the house at 40 Leaders
anticipated today this could be accom-
plished by Wednesday or Thursday,
whereupon it will be signed by Presi-
dent Wilson and the war department
will start at once its task of register
ing the conscripts and preparing to
mass them into an army within the
next few months.
AS soon as the conscript measure ii
out of the way in congress, further at
tention will be paid to the adminstra-
ton espionage bill.
Congress, which only "a short time
ago was urgent about staying here to
advise and uphold the president. IL
now showing signs OF real anxiety to
be done with its task and return home.
Probably this will not be for one or
