COPENHAGEN. May 1S,-Emperor
with the United States so far as his
personal comfort is concerned. This
is shown by the fact that he has sum
moned his American dentist, Arthur
Newton Davis of Piqua, Ohio, to visit
him at great headquarters this week
and attend to the necessary repairs
to the imperial teeth.
The war in general has proved
toothache to be no respecter OF inter-
national relations and thruout the
long months of tension between Ger
many and the United States the i'm
perial and royal family and the high
est officials of the state have contin-
ued to patronize their respective
American dentists Each new crisis
was marked by an almost mdcrous
rush of members of the royal families,
foreign officials and other dignitaries
to get their teeth attended to before
the possible departure of the Ameri-
can dentists. Some of the most rabid
vituperators of the United States have
been mild doves in American dental
chairs.
The emperor's personal view of the
relations with the United States ap-
parently is the official Interpretation
OF his government, which in com
munication regarding the continuance
of the Belgian relief work speaks not
or war, but of the abandonment of
neutrality by the United States. Along
the same line Is n declaration I'm the
reichstag committee by Major Cen
eral Friedrich, who said there was
no intention to intern Americans.

WAR LEGISLATION
ENGAGES S0L0NS
Forward Espionage, Revenue,
Prohibition and Food
Control Bills.

WASHINGTON, May l3.-Congress
begins the sixth week OF war tomor-
row with the calendars of both houses
still filled with legislation which the
feels is essential to the
conduct of the conflict with
Germany.
The senate Is expected 20 pass the
espionage bill tomorrow. The house
probably will conclude discussion of
the $500, 100000 war revenue bill
early in the week and send 1t to the
senate, where many changes are TO be
made before IL goes to the White
House for the presidents signature.
Press Relieved.
The espionage bill has been stripped
of the press censorship section which
caused much opposition to its passage.
Injection of an amendment last night
prohibiting the use Of cereals or. grains
In the manufacture of intoxicants
during the war, altho bitter pill to
foes of prohibition, probably will not
greatly delay ultimate passage of the
measure. The food control bill prob
ably will be taken up in the senate
after the espionage bill.
Debate Expected.
In the house an effort may be made
to put food control legislation thru
after the war revenue bill.
In both houses food legislation is
expected to cause much debate and
arouse some decided opposition, altho
II probably will have the force of the
administration behind II.
II is almost certain a measure VIII
be passed giving the department OF
agriculture money and authority "a
make food survey of the country.
and to curb speculation in food pro-
ducts.

gregate tonnage 10 combat the Ger
man submarine campaign. Bills to be

for an initial appropriation of $400.-
100000. Later an additional s35O,-
100000 will be asked and II this is
not enough still more will be sought.
The board is studying four sets OF

ed and that shipyards in different
parts Of the country will be assigned
to construct the vessels they can build
cheapest and most quickly.
