By Students Of Sever

BIZ Conspiracy Revealed In
New Yo~k By Federal
Inquiry

New York, May 31.-Federal
AGENTS today took action here

feat selective draft registration in
New York.
Three students, Owen Cattell, son
Of James McKeen Cattell, of Garri-

professor at Columbia; Charles E.
Phillips, of Columbia, and Miss

Steps Adopted to Pre-

Sackers
Penalty For Failure to Regis
ter on June 5, is Punish
able by Imprisonment

Washington, May 31.-While the
legal machinery Of the government
was operating today to stamp out
agitation against the army draft,
the War Department took up an
other phase of the matter, dealing
with the status of Americans now in
foreign countries.
Secretary Baker called upon Bri-
gadier General Crowder, judge ad-
vocate general and provost marshal
general of the army, for an opinion
as to the effect of the new law upon
Americans of military age residing
abroad. Department officials gener-
ally have presumed that the privi-
leges of citizenship would carry with
them a duty for military service not
affected by foreign residence, but
no formal ruling will be made until
the opinion of General Crowder has
been received.
The question involves to some de-
gree the specific terms of the extra
dition teaties between the United
States and other countries. Many
Americans Of military age now
abroad have been eager to enroll.
Registration cards have been fur
nished to every American Embassy,
legation or consulate and diplomatic
and consulate and diplomatic and
r1sular officials have been autnori-
Scd to act as registration agents

French In Champagne
Regaining Their Lost
Trenches
Germans Gain Some Ground
Hating in the Italian Of
fensive.-Spain Status Acute

A state of virtual inaction pre-
walls on all the war fronts. In only
one theater has there been any fight
ing worthy of note This was in the
Champagne region of France, where
the French, counter-attacking
heavily against positions northeast
of Mont Haut, where Wednesday
night the Germans in a violent Of
fensive had captured trench ele-
ments, drove out the Teutons Thurs
day and re-established their former
front in its entirety.
Tt the west of the region lying be-
tween Scissors and Rheims, there
has been a continuation of the
spirited artillery duels on various
sectors, notably Faux-Aillon and
Laffaux and south Of Berry-Au-Bac,
where the Germans, for the first
time in several months, carried out
a sapping operation. This netted
them portions of trenches which
were blown up.
The intensive fighting along the
southern front of the Austro-Italian
front apparently has ceased for the
moment, the Italians probably being
engaged in consolidating positions
won and bringing up up their guns
for further operations in their cam
paign' againSt Triest. Along the
Isonzo line only artillery duels have
been in progress owing to bad
weather conditions.
There has been a renewal of ac-
tivity by the Italians in Albania and
several villages in the southern part
Of this theater have been taken and
held successfully against counter
attacks Of the Teutonic allies. East

Senate Bill Would Make
Food Hoarding A
Felony
The Drastic Provision Was
Adopted Without a Record
Vote


storage or destruction of food, fuel
or other necessaries Of life to limit
supply or affect prices would be a
felony under an amendment of the
governments first food bill adopted
in the Senate today without a record
vote.
Violation of the sections would be
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than six
months nor more than three years.
Holding by farmers or others of the
products Of land cultivated by them
is exempted.
Consideration Of the administra-
ton bill which provides for food
survey and stimulation of produc-
ton neared the final stage today,
but the introduction of a number of
amendments shortly before adjourn
ment probably will prevent a final
vote before Saturday.
An amendment which would au-
thorize the secretary Of commerce
to take steps to promote more gen.
eral use Of fish to relieve the food
stringency was offered by Senator
Fletcher. It would permit the secre-
tary to catch and market fish. A let
ter from Secretary Redfield in sup
port of the proposal was read.
Senator Wadsworth objected on
the ground that it would put the
government into the fishing business
and Senator Pittman moved to eli
inmate the marketing section. The
amendment will be discussed again
tomorrow.
At the opening of debate today
Chairman Gore, of the agriculture
committee asked that the Lever bill
already passed by the House, with
the amendment made by the com
mittee, be substituted for the SINH.
lar measure previously under con.
sideration in the Senate. This was
done, and will facilitate final enact
ment.
Representatives of Southwestern
cattle growing interests called or
Herbert C. Hoover today and pledg
ed their support to the food bill ant
to the food administration to b.
created with Mr.. Hover at its head
They were headed by Isaac Pryor
of San Antonio, said to be the larg

WHAT OTHER SPECIAL ADVAN.
TAGES DO THESE BONDS
POSSESS?

They are nontaxable. If your city,
county, and State taxes are three
mills on the dollar, not unusual
tax, these bonds are equivalent to
ordinary bonds or other investments
bearing 6 IL per cent.
In addition, no Federal tax which
war conditions will later make nee
essary will affect these bonds. The
only taxes these bonds are suject to
is the inheritance tax, which applies
to all property of all kinds whatso-
ever.

FLYERS Will BE
NO NOVELTY HERE
in near FUTURE

Encouraging growth in membership
was reported at meeting Of. the
board Of governors at the Aero Club
OF Hawaii this morning in the office
OF General F. s. Strong, president.
Secretary r. C. Holiday read out and
the club governors elected a large list
of new members, many of whom were
enlisted by General s. /. Johnson, n.
G. H.. when the latter was on Hawaii
recently. He took the applications Of
many of Hilo's leading business and
professional men.
The club is in communication with
Miss. Katherine Stinson and her man.
ager, and the noted aviatrix, now in
Japan, will probably come here for a
series of flights in, April, under the
auspices of the club. However, defi-
mite announcements can not be made
until the details are settled.
The club, by resolution, put itself
on record as fayoring flights here by
none but American citizens as mat
ter of military precaution. This will
be its attitude in passing upon applica.
tions for flying privileges.
General Strong reported that 1t is
expected the army flyers will be in
action here by summer time. Some of
them are on their way and he pre-
dicted that in a few months it will be.
no novelty at all for Honolulu folk
in the streets to look up and see any
where from one to half dozen bird
men lowering high overhead.
The definite site for the field has
not yet been announced A number
of months ago recommendations were
made that land adjoining the Fort
Kamehameha buildings be used for a
field, but this Is not settled. Posi-
bilities for other fields are still under
investigation.

LABOR SCARCITY
not emergency

Scarcity of citizen laborers who are
willing to work on the Hillebrand glen
water project, construction of which
is under Picanc0 & Comes, contract
grs, can not be considered as an
emergency" according to an opinion
sent TO the Oahu loan fund commits
sion by Attorney General |. NJ. Stain
back.
The contractors had requested that
permission be granted them to work
their men more than eight hours a
day, ths men being willing, 1t is said,
as a means of increasing their taily
wages. 1t was suggested that scarcity
of labor on the job could be held as
creating an emergency. but Attorney
Stainback rules differently. Such
privilege could not be granted under
the eight-hour law, he says.
An extraordinary emergency which
will Justify contractors permitting la
borers to work more than eight hours
a day on government work" says the
opinion, lis a sudden and unexpected
happening or unforeseen condition cali
ing for immediate danger to life,
health or property. The construction
of tunnel contemplated by contract
is not, in its nature, emergency work
