PAULS VALLEY, Okla, May 10
James E. Couch, farmer, residing
near this city, has not been notified
of the reported execution Of his wife
as a spy in Germany. Mrs. Couch. a
native OF Germany, returned there
last December. leaving the United
States on the same ship with Ameri-
can Ambassador Gerard
Couch formerly was minister Of the
Christian church at Lancaster, H.,
and today stated that he had received
but one letter from his wife since her
return to Germany. In this letter
Mrs. Couch merely told Of her safe ar.
rival and that she intended returning
as soon as possible, bringing her aged
father. Mrs. Couch returned to her
native land following the death of her
mother.
"I have had no word from the
Swiss foreign office, or from anyone
else regarding the reported execution
of my wife, Couch told the United
press. ut Is all news to me-

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Congress,
under urgent request from President
Wilson, was expected today to put on
some steam with its legislation.
The presidents request covered
particularly the food control meas
ures, the need Of which he pointed
out at night conference with con-
gress leaders.
The need for action instead Of mere
talk and deliberation was pointed out
by the president and there were
signs that congress is about to heed
the imperative cry of the commander
in chief of Americas war forces.
The immediate business before the
senate today was consideration of the

CHICAGO, May 18.-The restrdo-

''The problem has been solved; the

anv famine in anything: we have
enough wheat and can spare some TO

One persistent report was that the

allies.
1t was officially announced, how

officials and a committee Of grain
exchanges in aiding the council Of
national defense. Considerable specu-
lation was in evidence in regard to
the report made to administration

AMSTERDAM, May 16.-German
officialdom is taking no chances or
the popular revolution to achieve
democracy, hinted at in speeches OF
extreme socialist leaders in the
reichstag yesterday, according to ad-
vices received here today
The chancellor's curt refusal to
accede to socialist demands in ampl-
flying on Germany's war aims, his ap-
parent support Of the junkerites, all
have aroused the greatest anger
among the socialists. Forewarned or
possible public demonstrations OF
disapproval, information here today
declared the German government had
established strongly increased police
guards in Berlin and other large
cities to put down any possible dis
turbances.
Text of the remarks by the social
ist leaders, Scheidemann and Lede-
bour, received today showed how
bluntly these two opposing leaders Of
socialist factions warned the imper-
ial chancellor of possible trouble .f
sincere peace steps were not in view.
peace by agreement would be
good fortune for Europe Scheide-
mann declared. "Ninety-nine per cent
of all peoples look with hope and
longing to Stockholm. If France and
Great Britain renounce anneXations
and Germany insists thereon, we
shall have a revolution in the country.
1t has not gone so far as that yet,
since the enemy has not renounced
annexations."
Herr Scheidemann must take up
cudgels against the government
said George Ledebour, leader OF tho
anti-war and anti-government social
lists. as opposed to the Scheidemann
peace and pro-government faction. IL
he does not want strong words, which
do not shrink even from announce
ment to revolution to be followed by
deeds. We are convinced that events
must happen in Germany, as they
happened in Russia. We
must soon introduce republic in
Germany and we shall soon propose
that the constitution committee take
preparatory steps to that end"
Speaking in the reichstag today,
the socialist member David declared:
"The chancellor has not replied to
our demands, but his references to
possible peace with Russia are most
valuable"
Socialist David declared:
"Scheidemann's replies to revo-
luton have been misunderstood. He
has not threatened one, but only
pointed to an event we do not de-
sire, but toward which the conserva-
tives are working, with their policy"
