STORY TOLD HOW
 MEN ARE DUPED
Says Clergyman Helped to Get Plans Before Or
 ganized Labor

New York, May 14-Davld Lamar, widely known as "the wolf of Wall street. testified today that the plans out of which labor's national peace coun- cil were first connected with the Rev. Dr. Ihomas C. Small. a New York cler- gyman, through which he met Captain Franz Rintelen of the German navy, who gave him the money to start an anti munitions traffic campaign.
 Lamar said that in his converse tions with Dr. Hall, who, he said, was formerly at the Union Theological seminary here md also professor at Columbia un1ver- sity, but now is in Germany, he outlined what he said were his own activities in bringing about Investigations of the New Haven ralroad, the money trust" and the steel trust and his plans to at tack the capitalistic interests con- trolling the munitions trust"
 He indorsed my plans to get the mat ter before organized labor and farmers in order to produce such a consensus of opinion to bring great pressure to bear on the President and Congress, first to embargo munitions exports and secondly to abolish private munitions manufac- turers and to make government mo- nopoly of the industry" Lamar said.
 If our demand was not met, it was our hope that ultimately labor would strike. Butnev by any word. act or sugges- tion did I attempt to bring on strikes by bribing labor leaders or otherwise. Our function ended with laying the facts before the country"
 pr. Hall and he agreed that conven- tions of farmers and labor delegates should be held, Lamar testified. and the clergyman assured him he would be handed a sum of money and as soon as he received it he wanted him to begin work.
 A few days later I received a message from Dr. Hall to go to F. V. Gibbons & Co.,, the address of which he gave me in New York, Lamar said. T went there and met Rintelen, who handed me . check which I cashed."
 In a later conversation Dr. Hall dis closed that he hoped to go to Germany as exchange professor, Lamar said.

JELL|COE HEADS
 IMPORTANT BOARD
 FOR NAVAL REFORM
Change in British Admiral ty Direct Outcome of the Submarine
 Menace

London, May 14-Naval reform, long demander by public opinion and which is the direct outcome of the submarine menace was announced to Parliament by Sir Edward Carson, first lord of the admiralty It takes the shape of giving to the admiralty a stronger board for doing for the navy what the committee of imperial defense does for the army.
 Heretofore the admiralty board has been hampered by the heavy adminis- trative duties concerning construction and supply which interfered with its giving it's best attention to the fighting side of the navy. This now is to be remedied The new board consists or Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, Admiral Sir Henry Oliver, Rear Admiral Alex ander l.. Duff, Rear Admiral Halsey, Sir Eric Campbell Geddes and H. H. D. Tothill.
 Sir Eric Geddes, the new civilian member of the board with rank of vice admiral, has previously been in charge of all communications and supplies of war material in France, where he per formed most valuable work. He now will undertake similar work for the fleet, as well as organize the produc- ton of armaments and munitions and will control all shipping requirements for the admiralty. This will relieve the naval members of the board of a great load of administrative work and enable them to devote themselves entirely to the fighting side of the fleet, especially the submarine menace.
 Owing to the extent of the shipping losses inflicted by German submarines the British admiralty has been under heavy fire of criticism for several weeks and a thorough reorganization, with the infusion of new blood and introduction of more vigorous offensive methods, has been demanded. One of the chief recom- mendations of critics of the admiralty has been the creation. of naval staff, in line with the practice adopted in the war office, which would be free from vast and intricate administrative work of the admiralty.

OM|NOUS SPEECH
 MADE BY MINISTER
 T0RUSS|AN PEOPLE
All Is Not Going We'll. Sorry He Did Not Die
 Two Months Ago

Petrograd, Sunday, May l5.-(Nla Lon- don.)-In an impassioned appeal to dele- gates from the front at meeting in Petrograd today, A. F. Kerinsky, minis ter of justice, made the most alarming diagnosis of Russia's internal crisis that has come from any official person since the revolution. The minister of Justlce' who heretofore had made only the most optimistic and reassuring declarations confessed that his confidence had lett him and that he feared disaster.
 T came to you" said M. Kerensky, be- cause my strength is at an end. l no longer feel my former courage nor have my former conviction that we are conscientious citizens, not slaves in revolt am sorry I did not die two months ago when the dream of new life was glowing in the hearts of the Russian peo- pie, when I was sure the country could govern itself without the whip.
 'As affairs are going now. it will be impossible to save the country. Per- haps the time Is near when we will have to tell you that we can no longer give you the amount of bread you expect or other supplies on which you have a
 
 change from slavery to freedom is not going on properly. We have tasted free dom and are slightly intoxicated, but what we need is sobriety and discipline.
 You could suffer and be silent for 10 year and obey the orders of hated government. You became free upon your people when commanded to do so. Can you now suffer no longer?
 Unless there is quickenlng or a new spirit in the army and a new under standing of freedom among the masses and unless the energy which now is be- ing used to bring about peace Is trans formed into energy working for the de- fense of the country, it is generally felt that Russia will not long be able to go or with the war.
 All the newspapers except the organs of the extreme left parties, publish articles regarding the fraternizing Of the Russian and German soldiers on the Russian front, pointing out that 'the German sol diers with whom the Russian are fra ternizing belong to the same army that Is fiercely fighting against the British and French"

WHY THE HESITATION

One reason why there appears to be some hesitation in subscribing to the loan which has just been offered by the Sec retary of the Treasury, is that business men are not sure that a war revenue measure will not impair their business prosperity.
 It appears to be the views of those whose judgment is well worth needing that future loans should be secured out of future earnings. That is to say, the people should not go to the savings banks and the corporations should not go to their Surplus accounts, as these already exist, for the money with which to pay for such subscription as they may make to the new loans If business is highly prosperous, there will be ample opportu- nifty through earnings to obtain the funds which will be needed if subscrip- tions to second third or fourth loan are secured in amounts sufficient to meet the offering.
 The United States Steel corporation has subscribed s25, 0,000 to the present loan, but should a war revenue measure pass, which would take over to the government a large part of the earnings of the Steel corporation then that corporation would not be in a position to make as large a subscription to a new loan as it did a day or two ago.
 Some have said that although the rev. enue measures contemplated by Congress should secure $1,S0O000,o00 nevertheless the payment of this large sum in the form of taxes to the government should not impair business because much of the money will go back to the people. That would be true so far as impairing busi- ness is concerned, if the revenue measures tended to speed up and greatly to stimu- late business in all lines, but very much of the money secured by the revenue laws will be expended by the government in certain lines. These expenditures will not be of any special benefit to general in- dustry
 The wise adjustment of the revenue law to the borrowing capacity and needs of the United States is regarded here by those who should know some of whom have recently been in close touch with high authorities at Washington. really the vital question which is now to be an- svered by Congress.
