 INCREASING SECOND CLASS RATES
TRe5ublican A. D. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Sittng virtually completed consideration of the $1,S00,000,000 war revenue bill by adopting, 19S to T, a new proposal from the ways and means committee for increasing second class mail rates under zone system.
 A few unfinished sections, including the proposed tax on advertising will be voted on tomorrow before final passage of the bill. e-drafting of the bill in the senate iss expected and the measure as it ultimately goes to the president will be perfected in confer ence.
 The house then adjourned until to- morrow.
 Representatives Kitchin announced shortly before midnight that he prob ably would not attmept to hold the house in session after a vote had been taken on the second class mail rate section but would seek final action tomorrow.
 Sections of the bill completed in cluded the taxes previouslv agreed to on incomes, excess profits. inheritances. beverages cigars and tobacco. public ukillllNS. liloui diNt, manufactures. amusements and club dues, and the war stamp taxes.
 Representative Mann appealed to the house to eliminate the entire second class mail section from the bill.
 We spend every year in the United States he said, hundreds of millions of dollars in primary education and very large amount in college educa- tion for the youths. But the great edu- cational force of the country is in the newspaper and magazines. Nobody would suggest that we close our schools or stop primary education in the land. and I know of nothin~ that will be of 1 more value to the people of this coun- try than to have these educational ia = cilities in the highest degree during the war
 Tt will be a mistake to lay a burden on tho newspapers. We all know the inception of the second class mail priv ilege was for educational purposes. An amendment by Representative Moore of Pennsylvania to put a flat rate of two cents a pound on all sec OContinued on Page Two)

COTTON MEN ID COOPERATE WITH
 THE GOVERNMENT
IRepubIican A. ?. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 22.-American cotton manufacturers, gathered here to appoint a war committee for cor operation with the government, were addressed by Foreign secretary bai- four, head of the British war mission, who told them adhesion of the United States to the allied cause made it ab- solutely certain military autocracy would not be able to cast all nations of the earth into the same mold.
 MT. Balfour. introduced by Secretary Daniels, was given an enthusiastic wei come.
 None of us suspected when this great war started" he said, that the United States, thousands of miles away, would be drawn into it. And yet l think in looking back that the logic of events was irresistible. From the beginning there has been but one choice and that choice inevitable. The United States has not hesitated to take it and now that she has taken it she will not with draw, l am confident, until the ob- jects sought are attained.
 Germany, by her insensate policy, has forced this country of unbounded resources to throw all her power, all her wealth. but more than that, all her moral strength into the issue. Amer ica seeks no vulgar ends, no territorial aggrandiZement no mean gain. All or us would feel defeated and dishOnOred if we do not leave the world free from the menace that is hanging over it, that has been growing every decade, yes, every month more dangerous.
 "Only the historian of the far future will be able to see all the causes and all the cross currents of this monster struggle. We here today cannot pro- iect our gaze sufficiently to envisage it all.
 As the war began with the cynical outrageous oppression of a little nation in the Balkans and went on through the brutal violation of another small country to the north so it is continu
 ing. No excuse can be offered for the cold blooded, calculating aggression which has marked the course of the military autocracy which has plunged not only Europe. but every quarter of the civilized globe into untold suffer ing and raised up for itself an un- dreamed of vengeance"
 The manufacturers, those from the south representing the American Asso- ciation of Cotton Manufacturers, an6 those from the north the National As sociation of Cotton Manufacturers, ap- pointed committee, which. co-operat ing through the Council of National De fense, will undertake to see that al ,otton needs of the government arc promptly and economically supplied.

M 'ADOO DECIDES SECOND TRIP |S
 MADE NECESSARY
[RepublIcan A. ?. leased wIrel


 DENVER, May 22.-Secretary Me Adoo of the treasury department an nounced here late today his intention to make a second trip on behalf of the lib- erty loan. This will carry him to New York, Boston, Detroit, St Louis, Cincin- natl, Pittsburg and Harrisburg. Pa. He will leave Washington June to make this tour.
 Because of the patriotic response of the people of the cities l have already visited and the deep interest they have displayed ill the liberty loan" Secre tary McAdoo announced upon his ar rival here late today, "I am convinced should go to other cities and explain the situation"
 T have found the people of the mid dle west and the west cooperating magnificently to make the liberty loan a success. We must greatly over-suh- scribe the first issue of $2, 2,000, ,000, ,000 to show the enemies of liberty the Ameri can people are aroused and thoroughly in earnest in this war for freedom and humanity. Pressing public business re- quires my return to Washington before visiting some of the cities l had been urged to include in my itinerary but I am planning to make another short trip to reach as many of the people as pos sible.
 The plans of Secretary McAdoo's present trip which already had been an- nounced carried him as far as Kansas City. He arranged today to go from Kansas City to Columbus. Ohio. arriv- ing there Saturday May 25, and leaving the same night for Washington.
 MT. McAdoo arrived in Denver at five o'clock, two and a half hours late. his train having been delayed by heavy rains in Nebraska. Despite the delay and consequent changes in the program here he was given an enthusiastic re- ception as the parade of automobiles led by a military band and a company of infantry which escorted him passed through the business district to the auditorium.
 The crowd, which filled every avail able part of the theater portion of the building, had been waiting more than an hour for the secretary's arrival and gave him a tremendous ovation when he stepped upon the stage. Every man and woman in the audience rose and cheered while the hand played "The Star Spangled Banner"
 Before discussing the Liberty Loan MT. McAdoo told his hearers war was | just as unacceptable for the American ] people as it is to escape the rising oi l tOmorroW's sun"

"The bill covers very ably and intel igently the power necessary for the president to possess in order to set up a competent food administration. These powers, combined with the power of embargo proposed in other legislation, should make it possible to eliminate hOarding, speculation and waste in dis tribution.
 "They are more moderate than those possessed by the various European food ministries, but with the good will and cooperation of the distributing trades should make success possible without in any manner being burden some upon legitimate trade"
 The measure classes specifically as necessaries, food, feeds, shoes, clothing and fuel In a statement outlining the purposes MT. Lever said:
 While the powers are sweeping, they are flexible and to be used only when the specifically prescribed conditions have arisen requiring their exercise. In every instance in which the bill itself does not specifically define the requirements effecting private con- duct, the president must prescribe these with precision and certainty. When property is authorized to be taken by the government, just compensation is provided for"
 Briefly the measure would do these things:
 Declare the production, manufacture. storage, distribution and sale of nee essarieS to be affected with public in terest.
 Make it unlawful to commit or per- init preventable waste or deterioration of necesSaries; to restrict supply or distribution or to enhance prices to excessive levels
 Authorize the president to establish standards and grades of foods to es- tablish their quality and value. Authorize licensing of manufactur- Ing, storage and distribution of foods to prevent uneconomical manufacture or inequitable distribution; empower the president to direct the disposition of hoarded stocks
 Authorize the president to prevent hoarding, monopolization, or the exac- tlon of excessive profits, by having the l government either manufacture or deal Tn necessarieS; authorize the taking over of factories or plants for govern ment operation if necessary to provide distribution at fair prices
 Authorize the president to prescribe rules for the conduct of exchanges and boards of trade, or to prohibit entirely thelr operations if in the public inter est.
 Authorize the fixing of minimum | prices to the producer to stimulate
 production; authorize import duties if i importations threaten operation of
 guaranteed minimum prices: authorize 1 purchase by the American government
 at the prescribed minimum prices sup
 plies for the allies of the United ! States.
 Establishment by the president of
 maximum prices to break food corners
 or to prevent hoarding and speculation.
 Authorize the changing of milling
 grades or the mixing of grains in mak-- ing flour
 1 Authorize the president to prescribe
 restrictions on the use of foodstuffs in
 the manufacture of alcoholic liquors 1 The measure is based on the powers

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Organiza- tion of scores of new regiments of na- tional guard, artillery, engineers, signal troops and cavalry will be undertaken soon to supply the tactical formations necessary for the establishment of the 16 divisions of the guard provided for ir the war departments plans.
 In addition to these troops, imme- diaIely after the existing state soldiers have been drafted into the federal ser vice. there must be organized divisional headnuarterS attachments, supply, am- intuition and medical trains. heavy field artillery and signal battalions, an aero service. two cavalry divisions and many new coast artillery units and re- serves.
 Comparison of organization tables for the 16 infantry divisions with the ex- isting guard establishment shows that in the infantry. the arm of the service in which the guard is strongest, thirty regiments and six companies must be created to provide the IA regiments of the divisional structure.
 The principal shortage is in field ar tillery Each of the 16 divisions re- quires three full regiments of six bat teries each. or a total of 2SS batteries. There now exist in the guard 10S bat terieS.
 The shortage in engineers is almost as great. There will be needed 16 regi- ments or a total of 96 companies, whereas there now are only 90 compan- ies.
 Each division also will have an aero r"uadron or balloon company, making 16 air service units. New York has one aero souadron. less one company.
 The first effort of the department is to bring up to full war strength all ex- isting units of the guard. When that has been accomplished and the force has been drafted, the next step will be to create the new units necessary to complete the 16 infantry divisions and the adiutants general of the states have been instructed they should prepare for

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Italys war mission. including some of the king dOm's foremost political and cOmmer- cial figures, will reach Washington to- morrow for discussions with American officials along the general lines of war operation already laid down in the conferences with the British and French envOys
 Headed by his royal highness Ferdi- nando di Savoja of Uline, and a mem Der of the Italian reigning house, the missions personel outranks that of either Great Britain or France. Secre- tary Lansing and ranking officials of the state department will meet the Vis- itors at the railroad station and they will be escorted to their headquarters by military and naval officers and two troops of cavalry.
 Besides Prince Udine, the mission in cludes Enrico ArIotta, minister of transportation, and Gugielmo Marconi, the inventor. Signor Arlotta already is in Washington. The other members, who arrived in America yesterday, will come on a special train accompanied by Breckinridge Long, an assistant secre- tary of state, who met them as a rep resentative of the American govern ment. The scope of the work outlined for the envoys will take into account many peculiar problems which con- front the government at Rome. For one thing Italys transportation needs are regarded as much greater than those of her northern allies be- cause she is so heavily dependent upon the outside world, particularly Amer ica, for raw materials. She must have ! thousands of tons of American coal to 1 keep her factories in operation. and great quentities of iron and steel foI war manufactures.

HA|G'S MEN PLAN NEW OFFENSIVE ON
 H|NDENbURG LINE

Although on both the British and French fronts the period of virtual in action continues with trench raiding operations by the British and artillery duels of violence between the French and Germans, it is not expected that these conditions will long prevail.
 The offensive of the British on the Arras front cannot be deemed to have ended until Field Marshal haig men once more have throv1 their strereth against the 900 yards of the linden burg line. still held by the Gero,a $ west of Bullecourt and strengthened out their line from the heavy blows that are to come against the DrOcourt- Queant switch line, on which the Ger mans are placing dependence to ward off an advance by their enemies east ward. Last reports had the British
 busily engaged in consolidating the gains they had made along the linden burg line, and with these captured the expectation is that another great battle soon will be in full sway.
 The Germans on Tuesday engaged with the French in violent artillery duels' in the regions of Nauclero, the California plateau and east of Chev- reuX, which lies between Soissons and Rheims, not forgetting again to throw numerous shells into the already devas- tated town of Rheins.
 A noticeable diminution in the in- tensity of the fighting along the Isol1u front of the Austro- Italian theater has set in. Only one attack by the Italians is reported. Here, according to Vienna
 the Italians attempted to advance, but
 were stopped by the Austrians. On the l Trentino front. far to the west the 1 Austriars are keeping up their heavy i bombardments and infantry attacks which the military authorities in Rome i consider attempts to divert the atten- 1 ton of the Italians from their offensive along the IsonZo. According to Rome i all attacks in this region have been re | pulsed.
