MONUMENT FOR
LUSITANIADEAD
PLANS AWAIT END OF WAR;
GRAVES At QUEENSTOWN
ARE NEGLECTED.

Queenstown, July 8. (By MaiD-
The newest memorial to be placed on
the graves of the Lusitania victims Is
an artificial boquet of flowers en-
closed in glass case which also con
tains a woman's photograph and small
marble cross with the inscription, I'm
memory of my dear wife, Margaret
Butler, drowned on the Lusitania.
Vengeance Is mine saith the Lord; ]
will repay This and three rough
mounds of earth are virtually all that
mark the resting place of more than
a thousand persons, who persisted
May Z, 1915 when the Lusitanla was
torpedoed.
There is a movement on foot to
erect great monument, over these
graves but it Is not likely to bear
fruit until the end of the war.
A high OH cial of the Cunard steam
ship company, owners Of the Lusi.
tania, visited the graves recently and
deprecated the fact that they are 80
neglected. He told the veteran town
clerk, James Campbell, that he is
making a report to his company with
the view of cooperating with the
British government for suitable
monument, but expressed doubt if any
thing could be done in the midst OF
the world war.

of President Wilson and to insure Its
passage. -,
Under it's agreement the senate VIII
vote on the bills Saturday and then the
measure wifi be rushed to conference
where an early agreement 10 looked foa
80 that the legislation may be enact

Senate leaders today considered
drafts of proposed changes designed ia
compromise the chief points In dispute
in the Gore substitute, namely. the
provisions restricting federal authority
and providing for food board instead
of a single administrator. Administra'
ton leaders are opposed to these pro
visions. A fight may also come over
the question Of government control
over steel, iron, cotton and other prod
ucts.
It ia believed that In the end legis.
lation will be worked out limiting gov.
eminent control. but with substantial
regulatory powers, to food. feed and

LOCAL BOARDS
DELAY DRAFT
ARMY LOTTERY PROBABLY CAN
NOT BE HELD BEFORE
SATURDAY.

Washington, D. c.. July 16-On the
basis of advices today from various
states where the organization work OF
the exemption boards has not been
completed, war department officials
said the drawing for the army selec'
tive conscription probably cannot be
held before Saturday at the earliest.
Fifteen states have not reported the
completion of their exemption board
organization. Numerous districts in all
Of these states have finished, however,
so it is impossible to tell just when the
final report is TO be expected.
The federal government has com
pleted its work. Many precincts re-
ported today to Provost General Crow
der that local exemption machinery Is
complete but there are still many iso-
lated districts to be heard from. War
department officials are hopeful that
the work will be finished within the

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES.

Washington, D. c., July 16.-Secret
service agents of the government are
investigating the activities of the I. w,
". in connection with the labor
troubles In the west. A wholesale
roundup of the leaders Of the organiza-
fion. believed to be backed and f.
nanced by agents of German govern
ment is expected soon. Evidence be.
fore the department of justice and
members Of congress points TO pre-
conceived and we'll organized plot to
cause trouble.
''There is no doubt" declared Sena-
tor Thomas of Colorado, that their &C.
tiyittee are due to financial support
from the enemy. Formerly they got
contributions from the masses by dup.
ing them. Now there seems to be a
new source of strength. They have to
have large funds to carry on their ac-
tiv1ties.
LOOKS LIKE FOES PLOT.
1.-THE propaganda has all the ear.
marks of being Of German origin. The
practices Of this band of men gives an
ideal opportunity for the intrigues Of
the enemy. The I. W. W. has followed
q practice of constantly taking advan-
tage Of any condition to cause trouble
local or general. They are for the de-
struction Of modern society. They are
resisting the draft everywhere.
"They are urging their members, II
conscripted, to learn the use of guns
and preach the doctrine of the 7. w.
W."
The arrest of German agent, fol-
lower OF Won Papen, Is expected to re.
suit from the secret service activities.
He is alleged to be the chief instigator
Of the acts OF violence perpetrated by
the organization.

little doubt. he said, that the measure,
providing for a fleet of $4,000 airplanes
will become law before August !.
America set new war record Sat

perhaps for the world.
Without dissenting vote or even a

900 dollar appropriation bill, providing
for the huge airplane program with
which the United States expects to
cary the war to Germany and bring
decision in the great conflict. 1t was
the largest apr opriation an American
congress ever has passed in what is
termed "a lump sum- Ordinarily
congress sets forth explicitly just how

simply turns over this tremendous sum

poses. And out Of it the country will
expect the construction Of the greatest

To put the Kiel canal out of commits
sion and assail the bottled up German
navy from the air is the great objec'
