SIMS HEADS FLEET OF
ALLIES IN THE IRISH SEA
American Officer Put in Command OF
Naval Forces During Absence Of
District Commander.

Washington, June 21.-A brief mes
sage from London brought the navy
department it's first news of the ap-
pointment of Vice Admiral Sims to
command the Allied naval forces in
Irish waters during the absence of the
commander of the district.
The Washington government has
given Admiral Sims wide powers to en-
able him to meet any situation that
may arise. The admiral has full au-
thority to act on his own initiative in
disposing the forces at his command.
Much of his time has been spent in
London and Paris and late advices are
the first to indicate that he has been
at sea with his ships.

WHICH WOULD DELAY ACTION
AND SENATE LEADERS TO
COMPROMISE.
PROSPECTS SEEM BRIGHT
FOR PASSAGE BY JULY |
Final Vote in House Is Expected at
Once, Prohibition Proposals and
Licensing Features Being Only
Stumbling Blocks-Repub-
iicans Support Bill.

Washington, June Retrospect for
passage of the administration food
control bill by July l as earnestly de-
sired by President Wilson appeared
brighter after the House had rejected
important amendments which prom
1sed to delay final action and Senate
leaders had tentatively agreed to COM
promises designed greatly to expedite
consideration.
Rejection in the House on point of
order of proposals to include shoes,
clothing, farm machinery and cotton
under the regulatory food provisions
cleared the way to passage to such an
extent that final vote is expected at
once. Prohibition proposals and Rep
resentative Lenroot's amendment to
strike out the licensing feature of the
bill constitute the only apparent OBJ
stacles to a final vote then.
Republicans Rally to Bill.
To pass the measure with as few
additions to the original draft as pos
sible in order to expedite conference
consideration, is the plan of Repre-
sentative Lever in charge of the bill.
He told the House that minor changes
could be made at leisure. House Re-
publicans are rallying generally to
support of the BILL
While perfunctory debate was pro-
ceeding in the Senate, substantial
progress toward compromising differ
ences was made by leaders at infor-
NAL conferences. The changes tenta-
lively agreed to include:
Elimination of the section authorize
ing the food administrator to reQuisi-
ton factories, mines and other plants
when he finds it necessary.
Would Not Fix Wages.
Elimination of provisions authoriz-
ing fixing of wages, including those of
farm laborers
Elimination of specific authorization
to regulate consumption by rationing
or control of individual meals.
Exemption of foodstuffs stored by
producers from the anti-hoarding pen
alties.
Provisions for control of foodstuff
purchases in this country to prevent
competition in buying between the AL
lies and the United States and
Further provisions to prevent hoard
ing or speculation in foodstuffs.

War Profit Tax for individuals.
Washington, June 22.-Extension of
excess profits taxes in the war revenue
bill to individuals engaged in trade
or business as well as corporations
and partnerships was decided upon by
the Senate finance committee. From

emption of $4,000 in assessing the tax
will apply to individuals on the same
basis as corporations. The individual

profits of trade conducted personally.

Americans Will Not Refuse Any Sacri-

Happy Fruition, He Says.

London, June 22.-Arthur J. Balfour,
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
gave an accounting of his stewardship
in connection with his mission to the
United States to the members of the
House of Commons i'm a luncheon ar
ranged in his honor by the Empire
Parliamentary association. Mr.. Bal
four said:
What moves me, and all of Britain,
and France, too, is the tremendous
and spontaneous enthusiasm of Amer

and the deep feeling Of sympathy
which manifestly animates the entire
American community-North, South,
East and West.
U. S. Will Not Turn Back.
"Our alliance is based on a great
moral consideration. We alike do not
wish to use war as an instrument of
expansion, and so we here may be GER

leave us under our great ends are &C.
complished. There is nothing I am
more certain of than this, that the
United States, having put it's hand to
the plow, will not turn back.
1.-THE Americans have carefully stud
led the origin and aims of the war and
have come irrevocably to the conclu-
sion that, with the victory of the AL
lies is bound up the whole future of
civilization. They will not refuse any
sacrifices or effort which may bring a.
happy fruition, on which they are con-
WINGED depends the whole trend Of
civilization"

Socialists Play Into Germany's Hands.
Stockholm, June 22-The self-styled
American delegates to the German
called Socialist peace conference have
played directly into the hands of the
Germans. They notified the Dutch
Scandinavian committee that they
would recommend that the present con-
ferences be made permanent through

exactly into German plans. The Prus-
SLAMS. are exceedingly anxious to have
the meeting here drag along in order

Messina, June 21.-Former King
Constantine of Greece expected per-
mission of the Italian government to
land either at Brindisi or laramie, but

SUMMONS THAT NUMBER TO
COLORS AS VOLUNTEERS FOR
REGULAR ARMY TO BRING
1T TO WAR STRENGTH.
RECRUITING WEEK FROM
JUNE 70 TO 80 is NAMED
Call Includes Unmarried Men Between
Ages of q and 40 Years Who Have
No Dependents and Whose
Pursuits Are Not Vital
to War.

Washington, June 20. - President
Wilson has issued a proclamation des-
ignating the week Of June 1880 as re-
cruiting week for the regular army
and called upon unmarried men with
out dependents to enroll for war SER
vice that the ranks of the regulars
might be filled promptly.
The proclamation follows:
Il hereby designate the period OF
June % to June 80 next as recruiting
week for the regular army, and call
upon unmarried men between the ages
of IS and 40 years, who have no de-
pendents and who are not engaged in
pursuits vitality necessary to the prose-
cution of the war, to present them
selves for enlistment during the week
herein designated to the number of
70,000.-Woodrow Wilson,"
Action Asked by Officials.
The Presidents action was taken at
the request OF army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the
slow rate"of recruiting for the regular
army despite the fact that the War de-
pdlluleuL recruiting agencies cover
every section of the country and that
the men are asked to serve only for
the period of the war.
1t had been hoped the regular SER
vice could be brought to it's whole war
strength of approximately 100000 by
June 80, which would have permitted
the War department to carry out it's
plan regarding the training of all the
forces and also to the dispatch of ar
mics to France.
Enrolment 1000 Daily.
For several days, however, the aver
age enrolment for the army daily has
been little more than 1000 men in
stead of the 5000 or more the depart
ment hoped to obtain.
The latest recruiting bulletin shows
that since April Z, 121,363 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers Of the
l83,898 necessary to bring the service
to war strength. The army, therefore,
is now about 10000 men short of war
strength, and the Presidents call, the
first he has made directly for war vol
unteers, is designed to fill this gap as
quickly as possible.
