three members instead of an indi
vidual; authorizes federal fixing oil
coal prices, requisltioring and operat
ton of coal mines, and authorizes O

ference.

Pa; Reed, Mo-; Sherman, ILL.,. Suther-
land, W. Va.
Scores of amendments were dis
posed of Saturday, but the principal

governments power to handle the coal
situation. The government guarantees
for wheat would be payable at all
principal interior primary markets I'M
til July 1, 1919. The Senate rejected,

$3.50 ,000,O 900 was left unchanged by
the Senate, which added an appropri-
alton Of 100000, 900, however, for fed
eral purchase and sale Of soda nitrates

ate addition to the. bill provides for a
joint congressional committee to su.
pervise war expenditures.
The Senate also added provisions
against boarding Of foodstuffs and for
regulation of grain exchanges, author
izing the President to close them II

throughout the world"
Great Britain could make peace

clared the premier. there " could
be peace.
The Germans, said the premier,
were making the same mistake in un'
derestimating Americas efforts in the
war as they had made about Great
Britain at the beginning.
"They said that we would not
fight" continued Mr.. Lloyd George,
and II we did, we could not. We had
no army and couldn't raise one, and
they need not worry. about Britain.
l think they have discovered their
mistake about us, and they are now
just going through the same process
with America.

Britain. not a very large country,
while she is maintaining and equip
ping and even building up equipment
for an army of millions, afield and in
eserve. in full fighting array; while
she is maintaining the largest navy in
the world, can organize in the third
year Of an exhausting war to turn out

America, with twice the population of

it will have no ships to bring them

the Germans knew Great Britain"
Far from being starved by the
U-boats, MI. Lloyd-George declared,
Great Britain's food supply for 1918
was alread.- secured, production was
increasing and losses at sea were
diminishing. He had sought in the
chancellor's speech for something
which he could hope for the ending of
the bloody struggle.

M|CHAEL|S FOR PEACE
NEW CHANCELLOR DECLARES HE
FAVORS ENDING WAR.
LphoIds Policy That Caused United
States to Enter Conflict and Praises
HoIIweg.-Reichsta9 Vote 214 to 1'o.

Copenhagen, July 20.-The Reichs-
tag adopted the majority peace reso'
luton by a vote Of 214 to 116 with II
not voting. Chancellor Michaelis in
his address before the Roichstag said
Germany would not continue the war
a day longer if it could obtain an hon
orable peace, Americas Intervention
was not regarded with serious concern.
The German fleet, particularly the
submarines, would master the situa-
ton, he said.
Copenhagen.-Dr. Michaelis, the new
imperial German hancellor, in his ad-
dress to the Reichstag, declared his
adhesion to the German submarine
campaign, asserting 1t to be a lawful
measure justifiably adopted and adapt
ed for shortening the a DR.. Mich
aelis opened his Reichstag speech
with a hearty tribute to DR.. Won Beth
mann ollweg, the retiring imperial
chancellor. whose work, he said, his
tory would appreciate.
The chancellor declared that the war
was forced upon unwilling Germany
by the Russian mobilization and that
the submarine war was also forced
upon Germany by Great Britain's IL
legal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America at the
head of the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's illegality, was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by a peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign was adopted,
said the chancellor.
The submarine, the speaker contin-
ued, had done all and more than had
been expected, and the false prophets
who had predicted the end of the war
at a definite time, had done a disser-
vice to the fatherland.

MISUNDERSTANDING the Sen
ed the minimum price of $1.75 a
bushel for wheat, as proposed in pend.
ing legislation, not as a hardship on
the farmer, but as a cinch for him.
Shafroth said: 81 do not think the
farmer is made the goat. l think the
farmer Is made the beneficiary. I
think when you fix the minimum
price at $1.75 a bushel for wheat he
has a cinch. That is what l think,
