RUMORS OF MISCHIEF MAKING
ABOUT JOHNSON CITY

Reports of an alleged attempt to
destroy the gas plant and other prop

ing as was probably expected,
1t is said the officials do not sus-
pect pro-German activity, but rather
charge the recent attempts of this
nature in the vicinity to some med
dler who desires to create some ex-
element. 1t is, said that the watch
man lat the gas plant was fired upon
a few nights ago, the bullet striking
a watch in the mans pocket.

about important plants in the city
The Boy Scouts are guarding the

military committee today closed it's
hearings on the universal service bill
after a large delegation of anti-con-

ton corps.

FIGHT HAS ALREADY BEGUN
ON THE WAR MEASURE
To RENEW EFFORTS
ON STATE BANKS
LEGISLATION WILL SEEK TO
BRING ALL INTO FEDERAL
RESERVE SYSTEM

Washington, April 1S.-A renewal
of efforts. on nation wide scale, to
bring State Banks into the Federal
reserve system is to be made shortly
as part of comprehensive program
looking to the further mobilization of
the country's financial resources.
Legislation looking to this end was
fayorably reported today to the SEN
ate by Chairman Owen, of the bank
ing and currency committee. The
committee not only favors the enact
ment OF amendments to the reserve
act which failed at the last session
of congress, but proposes new ones
which, it enacted, would result in re-
moving one of the chief objections of
State Banks to coming into the sys-
tenn, the restriction against interlock
ing directorates.
Amendments reported today, by
their failure specifically to mention
interlocking directorates on the part
of state and national banks will
permit in the opinion of Senator Owen
the entry into the system of state
institutions whose directorates also
may be directors of national banks.
Tie proposed amendments also
would allow state banks to exercise
the privileges now accorded them un-
der state laws and would impose upon
them a minimum of restrictions. An
other feature of the amendments
would permit state banks to Withdraw
from the system should they for any
reason desire to do So

BERLIN PAPER ADMITS WELCOME

Copenhagen, via London, April u,
Peace within twoxmonths and half
is predicted by thes Copenhagen cor
respondent of the panish socialist
press, who confirmA the reports of un
official negotiations between Russia
and German socialists as against the
diplomatic denials lin the socialists
newspapers here and in Berlin.
The first negotiations says tie cor
respondent, who is q socialist member
of the Danish parliment. were broken
off, enabling two papers to launch 4
denial that they were in progress but
they Immediately resumed and are be-
ing prosecuted vigorously. The cor
respondent then enters into a discus
sion of peace terms in which he ap-
pears to take German socialist expec-
tations and hopes for the government
policy.
Il am assured fFom an absolutely
trustworthy source he says. that
Germany is ready q restore Belgium
and Serbia, evacuAte France. and
with Turkey arrange an agreement
with Russia over the free navigation
of the DardaneIles. An agreement
is also possible on the Polish question
as the Russian goTefnment knows.
The correspondent pictures En-,
gland as the solo obstacle of peace.
There is reason believe that the
first part of his statement regarding
negotiations between Russia and Ger
man socialists is correct. but his ex-t
position of Germaa peace terms con-
flicts with the raenf official
desiafatTon 81 tt tntt 9 sesa 3 n e GgffIian ST.
zette, that Germany is willing to con-
clude peace, but on teFms compatible
with the great sacrifice which she
has made.
He expressed the hope that the re-
newal recently of the proposal for a

the Hungarian foreign minis
ter, which the socialists are now
trying to emphasize, has been barred
definitely, saying it is undesirable to
permit the western powers to have a
hand in the Russo-German settlement,
He intimates that Russia must rec
oncile herself to the loss of territories
considered necessary for the future
greatness of Germany, but that she
may procure compensation elsewhere
probably in Rumania and Persia,
which would enable her. he says, to
consider honorable and advantageous
terms of peace.

CHAIRMAN DENT LEADS FIGHT
AGAINST SELECTlVE DRAFT
FEATURE
HOUSE FAVORS VOLUNTEERS
THOSE FAVORlNG AND THOSE
OPPOSING SELECTIVE DRAFT
LINED Up

Washington. April 1S.-Lines We're
drawn today for a great fight between
the administration and opponents in
the house OF the plan to raise the war
army by selective draft.
While President Wilson was at the
Capitol telling senators ands repre-
sentatives that no compromise be-
tween the volunteer and draft system
could be accepted with safety to the
by vote of II to adopted amend
ments to the administration bill au-
thorizing calls for volunteers in in
crements of 100000 and provided that
the draft shall be applied only in the
event the president decides that the
force needed cannot be raised and
maintained under the volunteer plan.
The president made very plain to
those with whom he talked his deter
mination to have the staff bill enact
ed. There seems no doubt that he
will appeal directly to the country, if
necessary, and tell the people that, in
the opinion of the military advisers of
the government, as we'll as admins
tration official national safety demand
that the war be prosecuted under
plans prepared by the army experts
after long study and consideration of
lessons learned from the war in Eu-
lope.
The president thinks that full OPP
portunity for volunteers is offered un-
der the staff bill, since there will be
room for 724,Oo0 voluntary enlistment
In the regular army and National
ssge.s e., s,ss O 1l;s1;
Iii addition the door Is thrown wide
open to men who are qualified to be-
come officers.
The chief amendment of the house
committee follows:
That the president be and he is
hereby authorized to call for 100000
volunteers under and in accordance
with the act of congress, approved
April rs, 1914, tthe army recorgani2a-
tfon act).
Provided that such volunteer for
ces shall be recruited in local units
as far as practicable and company
officers may be appointed from such
units upon passing such reasonable
and practicable examinations as to
fitness as the president may direct.
"And provided further that upon
the completion of the enrolment as
provided in this act, and in the event
the president decides that such adj
ditional force or forces cannot be eff
fectually raised and maintained under
the call for volunteers as herein pro-
vided, the president be. and he is
hereby, authorized to raise and organ
ize the same by the selective draft,
as herein provided"
In the senate committee propos-
al to insere authority for the presi-
dent to call 100000 volunteers under
existing law was defeated. 1t was Of
fored by Senator Mcclellan who was
among those who conferred later with
President Wilson and heard the fixed
resolve of the chief executive to ac-
cept no compromise on the army plan
he has proposed.
The publication today of the list of
officers training camps to be estab-
lished, indicates only an element of
the work that already has been done.
Most of the plans are held as conf
Dental, however, and will not be Civ
en- out until congress has acted.
