CONFERENCES ON WAR
ARMY BILL DELAYED
Pending Action on the Annual Army
Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Nav 1.-Conferences on
the war army bill. passed for a sec
ond time by the senate today. proba-
bly, will not begin for several DAYS.
Conferences of the senate and house
have the task of smoothing away diff
ferences over the annual army appro-
priation bill and it will be taken up
first.
There are not many points of disa.-
greement in the appropriation bill and
leaders hope to see both measures COM
pleted in time to have President Will
son attach his signature during the
present week
The senate passed the war army bill
again today to clear up parliamentary
tangleS. Senator La Toilette spoke
in support of substitute with a ref
erendum on raising an army by draft
to send to Europe. it was defeated. 6S
to 4. with little discussion
Principal points of differences be-
tween the houses include the so-ca1Ied
Roosevelt volunteer amendment in the
senate bill; the difference in the ages
subject to selective draft, the senate
bill specifying those between 21 and
27 and the house 21 and 40 and the
senate bilPs army prohibition section
A compromise is expected on the age
limits, possibly fixing the minimum at
21 and the maximum at 35. The house
representatives probably never will ac-
cept the Roosevelt amendment, which
would permit the former president to
raise four infantry division for duty
on foreign soil.

ARE RE-DRAFTING THE
WAR REVENUE BILL
House Ways and Means Committee
Turns Down Sub Committee's Pro-
posal.

Washington. May 1.-The house
ways and means committee today be-
gan re- drafting the war revenue bill
submitted by it's sub committee.
Two brief sessions of the full COM
mittee resulted in overturning by a
vote of 10 to the sub b-committee pro-
posal to reduce the amount to be
raised from $1,000, 10000 to approx
mately $1.400, 600, 600 and in a general
upward revision of the income tax in
creases written into the bill
Every rate affecting incomes above
$4,000, it is understood, was tenta-
lively increased by the full commit
tee. So sharp were advances, it is said
that about half of all incomes in ex-
cess of S500,000 annually would go
to the government
Excess profits tax proposals will be
attacked by the committee tomorrow
with every indication that the sub
committee plan will be greatly al
ent rate of per cent. on profits ex-
ceeding $4,000. Many republican mem
berS not on the SUBJ committee declare
they will never agree to such a large
increase.
Democrats and republicans alike to-
day, complained Of not being consult
ed by the subcommittee. In an effort
to preserve order a recess was taken
and regarding its report, Chairman
Kitchin conferred with several leaders
on both sides.
From the treasury department came
a strong protest against eliminatin
some $400.00o.000 from the amount to
be raised. Treasury officials said it
was probable that near 81, 900, 900 than
81, 800, 000, 900 would be needed during
the coming year.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-05-02

The possibility of peace terms being
advanced by Germany; the internal
political situation in that country
arising from dissatisfaction of the
workmen over present conditions, and
a recrudescence of rioting in Petro-
grad, in which bombs were thrown and
the disturbers were fred upon, are
features IN the news of the world war
today.
Announcement is made by a promi-
nent Berlin newspaper that the German
imperial chancellor on Thursday will
make another offer for peace in an
address to the reEchstag. What the
proffer of the chancellor will embrace
is not even remotely known. His de-
cision is probably due to the oft-re-
peated demand by the socialists that
Germany come into the open and set
forth the terms she would consider as
a means for endorsing the war
May day passed in Germany with
little news concerning the exact sit
uation with regard to the unrest of
the wOrkmen, a result of which it
had been predicted that great strikes
might result. A brief Berlin despatch
said the efforts of the radical social
lists to bring about a cessation of work
in munitions factories had failed and
that no disturbance had occurred.
Unofficial advices, however, were to the
effect that strikes had been declared
by munition workers in the Rhine
provinces and that Essen, the home of
the great Krupp works, had been iso-
lated from the world so far as news
was concerned, to prevent information
regarding strikes in the Krupp works
from leaking out.

UNITED STATES TO SEND
AN ARMY TO EUROPE
Whenever Allies Agree Shipping Can
Be Used For That Purpose.

Washinrton, May 1.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem it
wise to divert the necessary shipping
from transporting food to transport
ing men.
1t became known definitely today
that the government has offered the
allies troops. but has suggested that
the alarming shortage of world ship
ping may make it impracticable to
send them at once. In spite of the
objections of the general staff to put
ting any American forces on the fir
ing line before the great war army
has been raised and trained. the ad-
ninistration has determined that the
small contingent earnestly desired by
France for moral effect shall be sent
as soon as possible. The general be-
lief here is that the way soon will
be found
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in France
shall be made up of regulars or ma
tiona1 guardsmen, or both. has not
been worked out.
The subject was not discussed at

todays cabinet meeting but Secretary
feernce with President Wilson.
State department officials have con-
tinuously urged the sending o fan
army, solely for its psychological eff
feet. not only in encouraging the allied
troops, but in discouraging the Ger
mans.

WAR RATIONS OF BREAD

ANTHRACITE OPERATORS
TESTIFY AT HEARING.
Tell Federal Trade Commission What
May Affect Prices During War.

Washington. May 1.-Anthracite op-
orators told the federal trade commits
lston today that the price OF their
product during the war will depend
largely upon whether coal miners are
exempted from military service and
upon the supply of cars made available
for transportation from the mines.
The operators appeared to tell their
side Of the story in the commissions
investigation of the high cost of an
thracite- They declared they had re-
ceived no panic prices and that the
price of coal had advanced more rap
Idly than wages at the mines because
of increased taxation and the cost of
materials entering into operations, as
well as by shortage of labor and short
age of cars. John Merkle, a veteran
anthracite operator, told the commits
sion that some limit ought to be put
on the wages which munitions plants
pay in order to stop the ever-increas-
Ing shortage in mine labor.
Increased operating expenses caused
by the worknen's compensation law of
pennsylvania and the increased equip
ment made necessary by eight-hour
laws were cited as items entering into
the higher price of coal
The problem of distribution is the
greatest element in the business. ac-
cording to statements at the inquiry,
and several of the operators said the
shortage of coal in New England and
New York last year was due to
breakdown in railroad transportatio
caused by the rush on the part of the
public to hoard" coal and the de-
mands for coal from Canada.
Coal dealers will be heard by the
commission beginning tomorrow.
Commissioner Colver sold after to-
days session that the whole problem
seemed to be one of distribution: that
the condition last winter was intol-
erabie and must not occur again and
that some remedy would be found for
preventing speculation in coal

MAY UTILIZE NEW YORK'S
GREAT CANAL SYSTEM
For Movement of Military and Food |
Supplies.

Washington, May IA suggestion
that New York states great canal
system be utilized on a large scale
for movement of military and food
supplies to the eastern seaboard was
submitted to the federal government
today by state officials.
Major General w. w. Wotherspoon,
formerly chief of staff Of the army
now state superintendent of public
works in New York told Quarter
master General Sharpe that a threat
ened freight congestion might be
averted by a full use Of the Erie and
other canals. The states water sys-
tenn can handle 100000 tons of
freight each month if. he said, need be
and can move it not only more cheap
ly but more expeditiously than the
present average of freight movement
by rail.
General Wotherspoon said that in
very short order any required number
of canal boats capable of transporting
such freight could be built. Now that
the Erie Canal had been deepened
and enlarged, these craft even could
be built big enough to go with safe
ty to Baltimore, Philadelphia or
HAMPTON Roads.
