ent relief is vitality necessary. st.

ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
While the only sphere of intense
military activity is on the Austro-
Italian front where General Cadorna
is day by day pushing back the Aus
trian line upon Trieste, there are In
dications that the stagnation along the
French and British fronts in France
may be soon interrupted.
The sign that points most strongly
to this impending change is the intense
aerial activity taking place.
The British reports last night en-
phasize this in their account Of IL
German machines destroyed and 9TH
ers put out OF control and Paris today
announces the bringing down Of seven
German machines and the damaging
Of twelve others.
For the present the allied infantry
is being held close to their lines await
ing operations and occasional local
attacks by one side or the other are
the only developments reported be-
sides the display Of energy on the part
OF the air men and the artillery men.
The German infantry facing the
British army is apparently being held
in check by its commander as closely
as that Of its opponents, but south
attacks continue upon French lines,
notably in the Champagne region.
Two were launched last night in the

pulsed. The French made a minor
thrust on their own account in the
Verdun region where the activity n
becoming more marked of late on both
sides. A small German post north Of
Vacherauille was captured in this
operation.
Brazil is rapidly passing from the
status Of q neutral to that of an active
partisan on the entente side of the
war. The measure involving her neu-
trality is now we'll on it's way through
parliament.
The appointment Of Count Andrassy
as Hungarian premier is nominally
due to internal political conditions but
there are strong beliefs held that It
may not be without marked effect on
Austrta's foreign policy particularly in
relation to her war aims.

Washington, May 29.-S. S. Constan-
midi, first secretary of the Greek lega-

with King Constantine's government.
"As I see It." he said. the whole
situation has narrowed down to a
question of civilization against Ger
man barbarity. When a nation OF
people begin to sink hospital ships and
use dead for manure 1t is time for all
decent men to turn their faces away.

TO THE DRAFT
German Influence Found To
Be Behind Trouble In
Texas
OTHER CASES
MERELY SPORADIC
Department of Justice Fully
Prepared To Deal With
Cases
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, May 29.-German in
huences to encourage resistance to
army registration and the selective
draft uncovered in Texas by a federal
grand jury already have resulted in
eleven indictments. Other arrests on
the same charge in the various cities
apparently are not so closely linked
with German influence but are being
Investigated.
In the Texas case 1t is said by the
department Of justice, an organization
was formed some time ago ostensibly
for the purpose of cooperative buy
ing. Its members were required to
take a secret oath and soon after the
enactment of the army law "a strong
German influence" succeeded in turn
ing its efforts to combat registration.
In some western cities there were
evidences of an effort afoot to defeat
the registration but the department Of
justice it was officially announced, was
fully prepared to deal with the Of
tenders under existing laws. Scattered
over the country are sporadic efforts
to interfere with the registration, but
officials do not believe they are con-
nected. The Texas case in which the
German influence Is established and
the arrest of two mountaineers In
southwest Virginia are the most con-
ians. william Mccoy and j. w. Phipps,
both well-known characters in the
feud regions are in jail at Roanoke
and government agents say they have
complete evidence to show they plot
ted organized resistance to draft
as well as wholesale attacks on the
landed people of the vicinity, whose
property they intended to divide
among themselves.

FOOD SURVEY
BILL PASSED
BY THE HOUSE
Provides for Investigation
and Stimulation of Pro-
duction
EXPECT ESTIMATE
IN THREE WEEKS
Similar Bill May Be Passed
By the Senate We'd
nesday
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 29.-The admin
stration's food survey bill. first of the
food control measures, was passed by
the house yesterday without q record
vote. 1t appropriates $14,770,000 for an
immediate investigation of the coun-
try's food resources and for measures
to stimulate production. A similar bill
in the senate may be passed there
Wednesday. '.... ..
The agriculture department expects
to present a fairly accurate estimate
of food resources within three weeks
after the bill is signed by the pEasi=
dent, Secretary Houston said. AS soon
as the measure becomes a law the de-
partment will start its 1900 employees,
and the 10000 voluntary crop reports
to be made within three weeks will be
supplemented with monthly reports
and probably by a complete report
within six months If necessary.
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert c. Hoover, who will
be named to, head food administra-
tion as soon as the measure becomes
law.
The survey bill passed virtually as
it came from the committee. Miss RAN
kin, the woman representative from
Montana, inserted an amendment
which would require the department
of agriculture to use women in the
survey work whenever practicable.
Cne amendment would make all per-
sons employed under the bill liable to
military service, and another would
permit citizens to refuse to go more
than 800 miles from their homes or
places of business to testify in a food
inquiry.
Originally the bill carried more than
$18,000,000 but committee changes re-
duced the total. These are the prin-
cipal amounts appropriated:
For seeds. $5,558,000; education for
increasing production by waste ELI
mination and conservation, $4,34s, 400;
general survey, $2,522,000; eradication
of livestock diseases and livestock inn
work, $SS5,000; miscellan-
eous items, $547, 400, and eradication Of
plant diseases and insects, SAL 200. 4
Many Republicans repeatedly at
tackled the measure as wasteful, par
ticularly the survey feature. Chairman
Lever of the agriculture committee
declared heatedly in closing the debate
yesterday they We're raising false
Issue.
"It may be that the opposition can
be accounted for because we are carry
ing power in the bill to go into stor-
age concerns and find out who is
boarding and who is specializing" he
said.
The senate devoted the day to de-
batting and adopting an amendment
oy Senator Mcclellan reducing the ap-
for the eradication OF the
,attle tick and other livestock dis |
eases from $2,083.000 to $S25,000, the
