Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June II. - The
period of leniency ended tonight for
men between the ages of q and 80, in
elusive, who failed to register for the
war army last Tuesday.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
sent to the governors of all the states
a message asking them Ito inaugurate
from tomorrow a vigorous. aggressive
and effective enforcement of the pen
atty clause of the selective service law
against all who have by their failure
to register brought themselves under
those provisions"
The penalty for failure to register on
June is Imprisonment for year and
enforced registration, but General
Crowder Immediately after registration
day recommended that local registra-
ton boards provide further opportunity
for delinquents.
The department of justice today not
flied United States attorneys to release
those already arrested for failure to
register providing they now have reg
iStered.
General Crowder has nearly complet-
ed a draft of regulations to govern eX-
emption boards, and expects to lay ii
| before Secretary Baker in a few days
| for approval The general believes no
class should be exempted as such, but
that local boards should decide on the
| circumstances in each individual case
/ He faVorS use of some device such as
jury wheel for drawing the names of
those to be examined by the exemption
boards
A few more states reported reglstra-
tion totals to the provost marshal gen
erals office today, but indications were
that all would not be completed for
nearly a week.
Among states reporting so far Ohio
stands first in the proportion of regis
tration to the census estimate, with
113 per cent. Illinois has 1106 per
cent, Iowa 1913 per cent, and Wash
ington is the lowest with 500 per cent.
When the provost marshal general s
loffice closed tonight 3S states had sent
in complete returns showing total
registration OF 6.33A. .3SS, compared to
census allotments totaling 70634S2
The returns during the day about kept
iup the percentage of previous reports
tand predictions as to the grand total
ranged from 100000 to 9,250000 The
possible exemptions indicated were 3,

PROBE CAUSES Of
GUN ACCIDENTS ON
I BOARD ARMED SHIPS

WASHINGTON, June 11.-lnvesti-
CATION by the senate naval committee
of gun accidents on armed merchant
mon was interrupted today to await
the outcome of a search by govern
ment agents for the writer of letters
mailed from Detroit, Mich. to Senator
FTelinghuysen revealing naval ord
NJ nee secrets.
Secretary Daniels, who placed the
lie, ters before the committee, declared
th 1t either a spy or a traitor had been
at work because the information dis
closed could have been obtained no
where except from the confidential
files of the navy's ordnance bureau. He
insisted that the writer should be
found and required to explain.
The committee adjourned until We'd
nesday by which time it hoped to To-
cate the author of the letters.
Senator F'relinghuysen told the com
mittee that he had no desire to shield
anyone and had sought unsUccessfully
to discover the identity of his CORE
spondent.
During the hearir~ today. Rear Ad-
miral Earle, chief of the ordnance bu-
reau. gave the committee detailed and
technical information concerning the
accident on the Mongolia and other
vessels, the chief facts concerning
which have been published previously
IL official reports. He explained the
discarding of the brass powder charge
cups of the TYNE which DETECTED and
l-illed two Red Cross nurses on the
Mongolia and the withdrawal of shells
of the kind that exploded prematurely
when fired by the naval gun crews.

GREAT BRITAIN IN
REPLY To RUSSIA.
APPROVES MESSAGE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

LONDON, June lin reply TO the
Russian governments request for a
statement of the British war aims.
Great Britain has forwarded to Petro-
grad a note in which it expressed
hearty approval of the principles
which President Wilson laid down in
his message to congress The British
government believs. broadly speaking,
that the agreements made from time
to time with Britain's allies. are con-
formable to these standards.
Following is the text of the British
note:
In the proclamation to the Russian
people enclosed with the note it is said
that free Russia does not purpose to
dominate other peoples or take from
them their rational patTimony, or fore
IDLY occupy foreign territory In this
sentiment the British government
heartily concurs. They did not enter
the war as a war of conquest; they
are not continuing it for such object.
Their purpose at the outset was to de-
fend the existence of their country and
enforce respect for international agree
mentS. To those objects now have
been added that of liberating popula :
tions oppressed by alien tyranny.
They heartily rejoice therefore that
/ free Russia has announced her inten-
tion of liberating Poland, not only Po-
! lard ruled by the old Russian auto
cracy. but equally that within the do
minion Of the Germanic empires. In
I this enterprise the British democracy
! wish Russia God-speed
Beyond everything we must seek
such settlement as will secure the hap
| piness and contentment of peoples and
/ take away all legitimate causes of fu-
ture war.
The British government heartily
! joined with their Russian allies in
! their acceptance and approval of the
| principles laid own by President VIII
| son in his historic message TO the
American congress. These are the
I aims on which the British peoples are
/ fighting. These are the principles hy
which their war policy is and will be
! guided.
The British government believe
| that, broadly speaking, the agreements
| they have from time to time made
| with their allies are conformable to
: these standards, but if the Russian
/ government so desire they are quite
! ready with their allies to examine and
! if need be- to revise these agreements

ARE
CITED To ANSWER
FOR CONSPIRACY
Republican A. p. Leasedwirel

DALLAS. Texas. June l1.-l'ifty-
five persons, mostly members of the
Farmers and Laborers Protective as
sociation. were charged with seditious
conspiracy against the United States
in indictments returned
here late tonight by a federal grand
jury. Some of those indicted already
are in Jail. Names are being withheld
pending arrest of others.
Federal authorities here said the in
dictments. which contain seven counts,
were probably the most comprehensive
ever returned in the United States. A
separate indictment was returned
against w. A. Bergfeldt. member of
the Farmers and Laborers' Protective
Association, charging him with threat
ening the life of President Wilson.
Bergfeldt until his recent arrest was a
rural mail carrier at Haskell, Texas.
b The indictment alleges the defend
ants conspired and agreed among
themselves and with various persons
unknown to oppose by force the au-
thority of the United States in raising
an army to prosecute the war with
Germany and that in a certain section
of Texas, a man who is named in the
Indictment, organized and drilled a
company of men in military formation
with the intention of using force to
defeat the selective draft.
All those indicted and other persons
in various sections of the state. anOth-
er count recites armed themselves and
prepared in various other ways to OPP
pose officers and agents of the govern
ment.
1t is alleged that the men indicted
copspired to DESTROY railroad tracks
and bridges as well as telegraph and
other means of communication ito re-
strain commerce between the various
states ri a time when a state OF wa
existed between the United States anc
Germany.
Bonds were not fixed today fol
those under arrest and no announce
ment was forthcoming as to the num-
Der of men already in custody. 1t il
believed. however, thatemest of the
men are already in jail. as
United StateS Attorney Wilmot M
Odell said tonight that today's indict-
ments were against leaders of the
Farmers and Laborers Protective as
sociation, which. he said was organ
iZed to oppose conscription. Many ad-
ditional indictments, he said, could bt
expected by grand iuries in various To-
calities against individual members ol
that organization.

FOOD LEGISLATION
IS INSISTED UPON
BY ADMINISTRATION
IRepurlican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Early en-
actment of food legislation will be in
sisted on by the administration, it was
made clear today after a delegation of
labor leaders and congressman called
on President Wilson TO ask that he go
before congress to urge action on the
administration oils.
Samuel Gompers, who headed the
labor delegation, said afterWard that
the president was in full accord with
the opinion of labor leaders that food
control is essential at the earliest pos
sible moment. The first food bill, de-
signed to stimulate production has
passed both houses, but is held up in
conference. Today the second, or regu-
latory bill, was reported by the house
agricultural committee after the pro-
vision given the president power to fix
maximum prices had been eliminated.
The minimum price feature for farm
products was retained.
The regulatory bill, as reported,
makes the president food dictator with
power to authorize some agency to car
. rv out provisions of the law. The in
tention is to create as soon as the bill
is passed a food administration with
Herbert c. Hoover at its head. The
measure gives the widest powers, and
would permit government operation of
necessary food producing plants stor-
age houses and coal mines. The gov
ernment could purchase and distribute
food supplies if it became necessary.
The house committee left in Il pro-
vision authorizing the president to
limit or prohibit use of foodstuffs in
the manufacture of alcoholic liquors,
but during the day the senate agricul-
/ tural committee voted to make prohi-
/ bition a separate issue.

THE MADNESS OF WILHELM

If there exists anywhere in the world reasonable human being who doubts that the great war is struggle between democracy and autocracy all he has to do IS to follow utterances of the Kaiser of Germany The mon arch who plunged the whole world into horror and but cherv is also about 1000 years behind his time.
 His thinking along some lines goes back to the dark ages He still really and truly believes there IS such thing as the divine right of kings Naons according to him. do not select the kind of government they are to have This is done for them by up above, under the gmd ance and saction of God
 Wiring to the deposed King Constantine of Greece, Wilhelm used these words: "The mailed fist of Germany with further aid from Almighty God will restore you to your throne of which no man by right can rob you'
 In that one sentence there is perfect picture of the menace this poweruad monarch to world that would dwell in peace
