GORE SUBSTITUTE
Executive Said to Have Expressed
Dissatisfaction With Smoot Liquor
endment-Leaders Plan to Fol-
low Suggestions.

Washington, July 8. - President
Wilson has come to the support of the
administration food control bill as
originally submitted to congress.
In response to request from SEN
ate leaders for assistance in solving
the difficulties standing in the way of
action there the president sent to
Democratic Leader Martin a personal
letter, recommending the general pur-
poses of the general bill for govern
ment control OF foods, feeds and fuels
only.
He wrote that he believed unnecces-
sary the extension of government con
troll of steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool,
leather and other products.
The substitute bill drawn by Sena-
tor Gore is opposed by the president
as an emasculation of the administra-
tion legislation He wrote that he
considered prompt final disposition of
the legislation imperative.
The presidents letter. which was
not made public, is understood not to
have discussed prohibition in any
form. On reliable authority, however,
it is said that in his conference with
the senate leaders the president ex-
pressed disagreement with the Smoot
amendment adopted by the senate last
week, directing purchase by the gov
ernment of all stocks OF distilled bev-
erages in bond at cost, plus 10 per
cent
On receipt of the presidents letter
administration leaders prepared to
obtain action along the lines suggest
ed Senators Lodge Smoot and other
Republican leaders were called into
conference and a me atir, OF the Dem
ocratic steering committee was ar
ranged.
Food Administrator Hoover confer
red with Senator Chamberlain, in
charge of the bill. and added his OBJ
position to the Gore substitute as null
lifying the governments control plans
Fruitless attempts were made by
Senators Gore and Reed to procure by
parliamentary moves immediate con
sideration of the Gore substitute.

Some of the Middle Western cities

FOR INDIA RESIGNS

London. July Announcement OF
the resignation of J. Austen Chamber.
lain, secretary for India, was made
here. This is the first fruit of the
Mesopotamia commissions report and
lent a dramatic touch to the debate
on thet report in parliament. Ii also

former viCeroy of India and now undor
secretary for foreign affairs, had
thrice offered to resign, but that A. {.
Balfour, foreign secretary. had de-
clined to accept his resignation.
1t is considered quite possible that
further developments may occur on
the return of the king to the capital.
Great sympathy is felt for Mr. Cham
berlain, who is regarded as the vic.
tim of the peculiar Indian administra-
tive system.
Mr. Chamberlain made the announce.
ment himself in the house in a speech
defending his position as affected by
the commissions report. The report
has proved a severe blow TO the gov
eminent which had to make a fur
ther concession to popular resentment

GERMAN CRISIS IS
FAR FROM REVOLT

Washington. July 15.-The German
political crisis centers principally on
the question of peace and internal re-
form, according to a review of state
department advices issued by the COM
mittee on public information, and
there is not the slightest reason to
believe that it will result in anything
remotely approaching revolution or in
any diminution of Germany's military
power"
The review says it is apparent that
Germany's food supply will hold out
until the present crop is harvested, al
though the sufferings of the poor have
been intensified greatly in the past
five months.
Military domination has reached
such stage in Germany, the review
says, that the imperial chancellor is
utterly without authority over the
military leaders, who do as they
please "and leave the civil authorities
TO come along behind and apologize.
