WASHINGTON. D. C., May 12 On account of the fact that the national plans call for the use of only twelve units out of the sixteen to be formed, it is believed possible that the re maining four units may be used as home guards. This has been intimated by men close to the administration
 It is also stated that the states will be encouraged to enlist men who are too old to be eligible for conscriptive service, that they may be given a chance to serve the country without being forced to undergo campaign hard ships. It is expected that defi- nite announcements will be made during the coming week regard ing these two phases of the mili- tary question.

WASHINGTON. D.

 The Spanish-American war had much to do with the wiping away of all lingering bitterness caused by the Civil war, was declared, and the war with Germany will result in solidifying the entire American peo- pie, regardless of race or boundary lines.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12.- The prohjbitionists continue to do effective work al all opportunities in every possible legislative act They are jubiIant tonight over the biz step that was taken this evening toward nationwide prohibition by the senate. sitting as a committee of the whole.
 An amendment to the espionage bill was introduced and accepted Dy the committee of the whole forbid ding the use of any cereals or grain crops in the manufacture of intoXi- eating liquor during the war This is declared to be a long step in the direction of national prohibition IL is calculated to confine all future sales during the life of the bill to grain liquor already manufactured and in stock, and to liquor manufac turcd from other materials than grains and cereals. The main req son for the adoption of the amend ment, however, was for the purpose of beginning campaign of real food conservation. It Was declared that millions of bushels of grain now go to the whiskey distilIeries and brew cries that should be used for food purposes at this time, when the na- ton is facing the first real shortage in it's history.

 MISSING FOR A WEEK.
Associated Press)


 LONDON, May 12.-All England is in mourning tonight for Captain Al bert Ball, the daring English aviator, who has been reported missing since Monday night. Captain Ball was one of the squad which made a raid on Zeebrugge last Monday, and he is the only one of the party who failed to return to the base.
 It is thought that his machine was injured by the fire of the German anti-aircraft guns and either forced to descend inside the enemy lines or totally destroyed. He was one of the most efficient of English pi lots. having destroyed a total of twenty nine German aeroplanes since the beginning of the war.

ADMINISTRATIONS ; MUST APPRO\ l.
"BUlLY!" SAYS TEDDY, BUT RE FUSES TO DISCUSS FUTURE PLANS UNTIL AMENDMENT IS PASSED AND OFFICIALLY AP PROVED.
Associated Prcss)

WASHINGTON, D. C., May l2.- The house tonight cleared the way for Roosevelt to raise 8 volunteer army for French service if the ad- ministration authorizes it. It is ex- tremely probIematical whether the necessary authority will be granted.
 The general staff of the army is strongly opposed to the scheme, and is using its influence to have the plan held up. The President has been adhering to the advice of the general staff very closely all the way through the army plans, and it is considered probable that he will be guided by it's advice in this matter.
 President Wilson has made no an nouncement as to what course he will take, and the supporters of Roosevelt claim that he will not op- pose it. Late last night Roosevelt wired Representative Gardner and Senator Harding that he would be unwilling for them to press the mat ter so strongly as to interfere with the passage of the conscription bill

 He would discuss none of his plans nor make any announcement regarding the makeup of the force which he desires to form. He stated that. as he did not have the authority to raise the force at present, it was best that he refrain from making any definite announcement until the authorization to raise the force be comes official

 WASHINGTON, D. C.. May IT, In case the allies decide to cen tralize their purchasing power by placing it in the hands of a com mission, or one man, 1t is almost certain that only Americans will be appointed. It was announced tonight that the officials feel that whoever represents the entente must have expert knowledge of American eco homie and financial conditions and the habits and customs of American business.
 It is practically certain now that either a commission, or some per son, will be selected as Aoon as all the powers concerned can be heard from. It is expected that the con- mission will be in operation by July 1,

THE ENTENTE ALLIES FORMING AN INTERNATIONAL AGREE COMMISSION TO DO ALL THEIR BUYING.
ONE, MAN MAY BE,
 FINALLY CHOSEN
WOULD SEEK A MAXIMUM EFFi- ClENCY OF PURCHASING POW IS TO BE EXPENDED IN THE UNITED STATES.
lA9sOciated Prcssl

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 12.- The financial representatives of the visiting war commissions, In ooa- junction with Italian officials. are at present forming an international agreement by which either small commission, or single individual, will be appointed to have control of the entire purchasing power of the entente allies in the United States. The representatives of these three countries are in favor of such an agreement, and it is thought that the other nations in the alliance will concur in such ss agreement.
 The purpose of such a commits sion, or the centralization of tho purchasing power in one man, is efficiency At present the money that the entente is spending in Am erica is not bringing the results that were expected The system that has been in vogue since the beginning of the war has proven to be very unsatisfactory. The pur- chasing power is too scattered to be used effectively. It is thought that by centralizing 1t every dollar expended will have greater purchas. ing power. which Is the end that is being worked for.
 Whichever plan is determined on. it will have enormous power. The allies are to spend hundreds of mil lions, and probably billions. of dol lars in this country before the end of the war. Whoever has the power will have the authority to say how and where the money is to be spent, He will be held accountable by the entente for the results obtained.

 WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 12.

They declared that they were absolutely necessary to preserve the life of the nation during the war. Many members pro tested against many of the increas- es, and declared that they should be modified, while they declared that other provisions were too low and should be raised considerably. In certain instances efforts are being made to substitute entirely new levies for the ones proposed.

 Captain Joe Johnson, of the Peer less, reports that the passage was made without incident of note. He states that the water is low. but that it is all confined to the chan nel. making launch navigation easy. There are no ice jams, all of the ice having been swept up on the bars, where it has since remained. slowly melting away.
