Monday, June Is

Large crowds gathered in Dublin this
morning to welcome the release of the
Irish prisoners. Men with banners es-
corted the former prisoners to their
homes. There was much singing of
Irish songs and great deal of cheering,
but there were no signs of disorder.
America today turned to the task of
raising 500, 900, 000 for the Red Cross
in an eightday campaign, starting be-
fore the financial ou,-pourings for the
two billion dollar Liberty loan and its
over-subscription have been tabulated.
Hundreds of public me- tings were held
today and tonight with some Of the
country's foremost men among the
speakers. Military or civic parades were
arranged to aid in collecting funds. A
few corporations withheld dividends
until today and paid them with the
recommendation that proceeds be do
mated to the Red Cross. President
Wilson telegraphed mayors of 100 cities
urging them to devote their efforts to
helping the solicitation work in their
communities. Miss Ruth Law, who
made airplane flights for the Liberty
loan flew over West Virginia towns to-
day, dropping bombs" containing Red
Cross campaign literature,

Opening of the debate today In both
branches of Congress on the second al,
ministration food bill-fo governmental
control of foodstuifs and other necessa'
ries determined opposition, particular
~ by a group of senators which threat
ened to prevent its enactment by July
az urgently requested by President
Wilson. Passage Of the bill by the
House late this week is confidently eX-
pected by administration leaders both
advocates as well as opponents IN the
Senate say debate will be protracted
there for several weeks, and unless the
President adopts some extraordinary
steps to hasten action, the law hardly
can be enacted in time to set up the
food administration before harvesting
begins. -c
Widespread attempts on the part OF
munition makers to evade the payment
of profits taxes imposed by Congress
last September have been reported by
internal revenue agants, who have beeh
working quietly for the past two months
checking up the manufacturer re,
turns. The extent of the attempted
evasion thus far brought to the atten-
ton of the treasury totals more than
$40, 600, 600 or approximately 40 per cent
of the returns voluntarily made indl'
cations are that the figure will go as hlgh
as Sl2, 900, 600 or Sl3, 900, 600.
Scores of the manufacturers OF NUM-
tions, including some of the largest
are said to have attempted to defeat the
full operation of the law by making only
partial returns Of the profits. The
penalty for making false returns is fine
or Imprisonment, or both. The investi'
cation is proceeding, though nearing a
close.
Herbert c. Hoover outlined tonight
! his plans for enlisting the nation S house,
wives as actual members of the food
administration and appealed to them tC
Join him in the fight for conservation
measures and the elimination.of waste
The women will be enrolled during
period of registration from July to Il
through the Council Of National Defense
and the State defense councils.
/ Mr.. Hoover is proceeding at the dlrec
/ ton of President Wilson, who without
waiting for Congress to enact the adj
mnistration food bills, directed him t
proceed with organization of the fooC
administration insofar as it contem
plates assembling volunteer effort. .
"As requested by the President,
saws his statement, eve ask every
woman in the United States engaged il
the personal control of food to register
for actual membership in the food ad
ministration, thus entering directly int
the national service. We shall late
on ask various classes of men likewise
engaged in food preparation and dis
tribution to also volunteer to the nation
al service in their various branches.

Indications point to an early re-,
sumption of operations on grand
scale in Belgium and France, if, in
deed, they have not already begun in
Flanders and Champagne. A sig
nifcant statement in the latest Berlin
official communication says that in
Flanders and Champagne "the fighting
activity has been revived at several
points"
Incomplete reports to American Red
Cross headquarters here tonight showed
more than $35, 600, 600 subscribed during
the first two days of the weeks cam
paign to raise 500, 900, 900 tor war re-
lief. Hundreds of communities had not
been heard from, but from others re-
turns poured in so rapidly that tabula-
tors could not keep pace with them.
Vice-admiral William S. Sims, U. 5.
N, has been appointed to take general
charge of the operations of the allied
naval forces in Irish waters, Admiral
Sims will act in this capacity while the
British naval commander-in-ch chief is
absent from his post for period, the
official announcement of his appoint
ment explains. The American admiral S
flag, meanwhile, has been hoisted as
the allied senior officer in these waters.
The polish deputy, Daszinski, de-
clared in the Vienna reichsrath that
more than 10000 Poles have been
hanged by order Of the German author
tiles, according to a Vienna newspaper
which prints special details of the sit
tings of the reichsrath on the l4th and
18th. Deputies Striberny also de-
scribed the abomniable treatment ac-
corded political suspects, whereupon the
pan Germanist deputy, Hene, shouted
"They haven used the rope enough. All
of them ought to have been hanged. "
At these words all of the Slav and Polish
members rushed upon Heine and the
president was obliged to suspend the
sitting in the midst of tremendous
uproar.
