 PEACE ADDRESS
Speech "to Astonish the World"Pu Off Ito More
 Fitting Occasion"

Copenhagen, May 2-The speech which was, to have been made in the Reichstag by Dr. von Bethmann-Hol- veg, the German imperial chancellor, on peace and international relations, has been postponed to a more fitting occasion, according to word received hes.e. ,A
 According to the Berliner Tageb1att, as, quoted in a dispatch from The Hague Tuesday, pr. von Bethmann- Hollweg was to make a peace offer in the Refchstag Thursday. The speech has been awaited with the greatest interest in view of the recent reports of conditions in Germany, notably in connection with labor and socialism, and because of an intimation in one of the German newspapers that the moderation, of the German peace terms would "astonish the world
 The situation as reported in a dis patch from Berlin appears to be as follows:
 At a caucus of the majority so- ciaIists in the reichstag the group that supports the policy of not em- barrassing the chancellor and the gov ernment, it was decided to defer an interpolation that had been proposed regarding Germany's peace plans un- til a more suitable occasion The interpolation was to have been made today.
 It is now expected that debate on the political situation, together with the chancellors speech, probably will be postponed until the third reading of the finance measures.

Washington, May 2-The French commissioners today had assurance that the Amerl- can government is willing to send troops to France-one of the urgent recommendations they brought to this country when the Allies believe they can afford to spare the neces- sary ships for transporting an army and its equipment across the Atlantic.
 The administration hes decided that for the sake of the moral effect of America's actual participation in the war a small contingent shall go for ward as soon as possible. The gov ernment, however, is mindful that nearly 500, 900 tons of shipping would be required for a regular army unit of A.00o men, and that this amount would have to be diverted from car rying fpod-
 It was believed that President Will son would informally discuss plans for an American expedition today with Rene viviani, Marshal Joeffre and Admiral Chochearat of the French mission, whom he expected to lunch at the White House.

ENGLAND'S NEXT WAR BUDGET TO
 BE HER LARGEST
In Spite of U. S. Loans New Appropriation I'm
 mediately Necessary.

London, May 2-Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the excheouer. in his speech introducing the fourth and largest war budget in the house of commons today, said that since the beginning of the war s22,O0O. 900 pounds had been advanced to Great Bitafn's allies and 142,o00,oo0 pounds to her dominions.
 Although the intervention of America in the war is expected to re- lieve Great Britain to a large extent of the necessity of financing her aI- lies, the governments expenditures for the present year, if the war con- tinues. probably will exceed the cost of preceding years.
 New sources of revenue mist be found. The charges of the war debt are increasing and excise returns are diminishing on account of the restric- tfons placed on the IIAuor trade. The house is prepared for an increase of the levies on excess profits, tobacco and amussmsnts,
