Amsterdam, May 2.-The Dutch vii

take, but by design.

PLAN FOR FOOD SURVEY
is PRESSED FORWARD
$25 100000 Appropriation for Purpose
Is Expected to Pass Both Houses
Without Delay

Washington, May 8. = To make
available quickly an appropriation for
a food survey, the Department of Ag-
riculture has asked and the Senate
and House Agricultural committees
agreed to have the Administration
food control legislation reintroduced
in Congress in separate bills. One
measure, expected to pass without de-
lay, will carry $25,00O,0O0 appropria-
ton for the survey and will provide
for charging the departments staff
to permit supervision of seeding op-
erations; another will include provi-
sions for licensing and controlling sto-
rage and distributing concerns.
Both the House and Senate commit
tees continued hearings. Secretary
Houston, before the House committee,
urged prompt action on the legisla-
ton proposed, and outlined the gov
ernment's price-fixing measures.

Washington, May 8. - The House
ways and means committee began rip
ping apart and redrafting the war rev.
enue bill submitted by it's sub-commit-
tee.
The brief sessions of the full com
mittee resulted in overturning by a
vote of II to the subcommittee pro-
posal to reduce the amount to be rails
ed from $1,S00,000,000, as suggested
by Secretary McAdoo to approximately
$1,400, 100000 and in a general upward
revision of the income tax, increases
were written into the bill.
Every rate affecting incomes above
$4,000, it is understood, was tenta-
lively increased by the full committee.
So sharp were advances, it is said,
that about half of ell incomes in ex-
cess Of 100000 annually would go to
the government.
Excess to Be Attacked.
Excess profits tax proposals will

FRANCES DESIRE FOR TROOPS
ON BATTLE LINE WILL BE
GRANTED IF TRANSPORTS
CAN BE SPARED.
PRESIDENT FAVORS PLAN
FOR ITS MORAL EFFECT
Only Question at Issue Is Wisdom of
Diverting Ships From Food Export
Service-Not Decided Whether
Regulars or Guardsmen or
Both Will Go.

Washington, May 8. - The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the Allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men.
It has become known definitely that
the government has offered the Al
lies troops, but has suggested alarm,
ing shortage of world shipping may
make it impracticable to send them
ut once.
In spite of objections of the general
staff to putting American forces on the
ring line before the great war army
has been raised and trained, the ad-
ministration has determined that the
small contingent earnestly desired by
France for moral effect shall be sent
as soon as possible. Whether the
force shall be made up of regulars or
national guardsmen, or both, has not
been decided.
Would Discourage Enemy.
State department officials have con-
tinuously urged the sending of an
army solely for its psychological eff
feet, not only in encouraging the Al
lied troops, but in discouraging the
Germans. They have felt that such a
step would consecrate the United
States as a full member of the ALI
ance entitled to a most honorable seat
at the peace conference.
Would Grant Frances Request.
Some who have vigorously opposed
an early expedition force as interior
ing with the training of larger army,
have modified their views as result
of the arguments advanced by the
military experts with the French
commission here that training can be
much better carried out in France
within sound of the guns. Neverthe.
less the opposition of the staff has not
wavered.
Much Tonnage Required.
The tonnage required for transport
ing the regular American unit of a..
900 men would be nearly half mil
lion tons.
It remains for the Allies to deter
mine if they can afford to divert that
amount of shipping.

GAINS MADE BY FRENCH
WHEN ATTACK is Renewed
Expected Battle in Champagne Region
of France Follows Several Days
Rest for Infantry Forces.

London, May 1.-THE expected bat
tie in the Champagne region of
France, following several days of acute
gun preparation by the French, which
was answered almost shot for shot
by the Germans, at last has broken.
Seemingly synchronizing it with the
somewhat lessened activity on the
part of the British against the Ger
mans on the Arras front, the French
launched an attack over front Of
about four miles eastward from
Rheims, from the south of Beine to the
east of Mont Carnilet and captured
several fortified German trenches.
Delivered at midday, the offensive
was sharp and at its conclusion the
French line had been driven forward
into territory previously occupied by
the enemy to depth ranging relative
ly from 500 to 1000 yards.
simultaneously to the eastward
thrust by the French northeast Of
Mont Haut netted them a gain Of
about two-thirds of mile and placed
them virtually astride the Moronvil-
lieres-Nauroy road.

REASON FOR HIS CONDITION
Beggar DiscIoses Earlier Calling
Which Made 1t Impossible for
Him Ever TO Work Again.

There was beggar who sat at the
gates of the city crying, Aims! Aims
and making piteous moan. And there
were many of great riches who saw
him daily and merchants laden with
silks and spices and fresh eggs and
potatoes going their way to the city
markets to barter, but they gave him
little heed and few aims.
Cometh a day when aft dame
paused to give him her pity, to spend
moment and pay him her regards,
but to give him of coins and of pieces
of gold not any.
And she inquired of him, saying, Lo,
thou art in rags and the blight of sloth
is upon thee. Thou takest little pains
with thy personal appearance and thou
art lazy as no man was ever lazy be-
fore. Hast it ever been thus with
thee or how didst thou come to such?
And he made answer, I once had
city political job and I've never been
able to go back to work since Roy
K. Moulton in Topeka State Journal.

GRAVE GOVERNMENT CRISIS AT
HAND AS RESULT OF LABOR
AGITATIoNS ON HOLIDAY,
is NOW REPORTED.
"STRONG MAN" WANTED TO
HEAD REALM, SAYS PAPER
Teuton Capitol Said to Be in State
of Intense Excitement over Report
of Probable OVerturn in
Highest Quarters of the
Government.

Amsterdam, May 3. - A grave gov
eminent crisis. in Germany, with de-
mand for a powerful dominant man
at the head of the state, is the theme
Of the latest May Day rumor to reach
the outside world from the ironbound
borders of the Kaiser's realm.
This report, which agitated both
foes and friends of Germany, brought
to a climax q day of suspense, sur
prises and contradictions, another
startling feature of which was an ap-
parently credible report that Chancel'
lor Won Bethman-Hollweg would short
ly launch another German peace over
ture.
Latest rumor of a governmental
crisis in Berlin is credited to the news
paper Weser Zeitung of Bremen. The
German capitol, according to this au-
thority, is in a state of excitement
over gossip Of an overturn in the high
est quarters.
Precisely what is meant by the re-
ported demand for a strong man"
and whether it affects the stability of
the royal family is a subject of the
widest conjecture.
Offer of Peace Coming.
The Berliner Tageblatt, one of the
most influential and widely circulated
of German newspapers, is authority
for the statement that the German
chancellor, in his coming address to
the reichstag, will make another offer
of peace to Germany's enemies, so re-
Gently REINFORCED by the United
States.
What terms he would offer or sug-
gest as bait for the Allied powers to
enter into negotiations was not even
remotely limited, but the Anzeiger of
Dusseldorf declares:
1.-THE world will be astonished by
the moderation of the German peace
terms"
The Berlin authorities took pains to
announce that efforts to bring about
May day strikes failed. Attributing
these efforts to "agitators in enemy
service who are trying to start dissen-
sion, especially in the labor ranks of
Germany" they offered reward Of
$3.50 for the detection of the offend
ers.
Half of Workers on Strike.
A correspondent at The Hague hears
that more than half the munition work
ers in the Rhine provinces went on
strike.
Most important of all, according to
this report, the great Krupp works at
Essen are affected by the strike. Essen
itself has been vigorously cut off from
the outside world in order to prevent
news of it's troubles from reaching the
rest of the German people, to say moth
ing of Germany's enemies. Small
towns along the Dutch frontier are
said to be included in the strike area.
