TOO MUCH BIRDoLoeY HERE
To Be Written Up as Bird Was BAD
Enough, But Mrs. Parrot Objected
to Final Insult.

Some years ago Carl Crow, author
of "Japan and America" was a cub
reporter on a Texas newspaper, one
of his duties being to cover the police
stations, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. One day, just before
press time, he made his usual trip to
see the desk sergeant.
"Haye a great story for you," said
the sergeant 1--WE arrested a parrot
out on Front street a while ago on a
charge of using abusive language.
The neighbors complained so much
we had to go out and lock the old
bird up"
After getting q few more details
Grow rushed back to the office and
wrote funny story about the arrest
of the bird. He was congratulating
himself on landing a story on the
first page, an hour or so after the
paper got on the streets, when the
telephone bell rang and he had to
listen to a torrent of abuse from an
irate lady at the other end of the
line. 1t developed that she was Mrs.
Parrot and she had been arrested for
using abusive language, but she Bit
terly resented being written up as a
bird. After she had exhausted her
vocabulary and was preparing for q
new start, she asked:
"What is your name%
"Crow," said the reporter.
'What did you say?" "
81 said my name was Crow"
"You think you are blamed smart,
don't you?" said the freshly insulted
Mrs. Parrot as she hung up the re-
ceiver.

NEW MINERS LAMP.

The new form of miners lamp IA
,vored by the United States bureau of
mines is steel shell containing re-
Hector and a bulb of half candle
power. This weighs only four ounces,
and is carried in the usual way on
the miners cap, a rubber-covered
copper cable connecting with the
pocket battery. A case of steel or
aluminium gives protection to the
dry cells, the total battery weight be-
ing somewhat over four pounds. The
apparatus is waterproof, and no gas
is generated by the battery to give
risk of ignition.

McAdoo Hands Over Warrant to
British Ambassador-Evi-
dence of Cooperation

Washington, April 25-Secretary
McAdoo today handed the British am
bassador a treasury warrant for $780,
100000, the first loan made to ally
entente government by the United
States under the $7,O0O,O0O,OOO war
finance measure.

for the issue of $2,0G0,OOO,o0O in

law, signed yesterday by President
Wilson, to be followed by second
issue in from four to six months and
possibly third thereafter.
While the whole program is sub
ject to revision, it is understood that
officials also are seriously consider
ing the advisability of collecting the
proceeds of the first issue in Install
ments, 80 days apart and lasting over
a period of from four to six months
Allies Loans to Cover Foodstuffs.
Indications are that the first issue
will be divided among Great Britain,
France, Russia and Italy, and that
some portion Of it will be reserved
for American military needs, the big
however, going to the al
lies. In this connection, it was point
ed out tonight, that virtually the en-
tire loan to the allies will be spent
in this country for foodstuffs, muni-
tions and other supplies.

Northern railroad today en- route for
Seattle, where they will embark for

means. Today, they are speeding
homeward in luxurious sleeping cars
and are dining on the best of the
land, all at the expense of the new
Russian government. The train left
St. Paul at 9:17 this morning.
Among the returning eXiles is Miss

AFTER THE WAR
WHAT? IS H0[TS
LECTURE: :. TITLE
Editor of New York Independent
to Speak at Auditorium Next
Monday Evening
JOURNALIST OF WIDE
FAME HAS MESSAGE

Not a peace propagandist, but-a
constructi0nist.
This characterizes in a sentence
Hamilton Holt, the distinguished ed
itor of tle New York Independent,
who will speak at the Auditorium
Monday evening under. the auspices
of the League to Enforce Peace
which does not seek to end the pres
ent war, but proposes a formation of
a league of nations after its close.
1t is a constructive movement, not
a peace-at-any-price agitation. Ham
iltOn Holt belongs to a group OF men
who pride themselves upon having
put "the first in pacifist."
AFTER the war, what?' is the title
of Mr. Holt's address.
He is trained publicist and will
give a message we'll worth hearing.
The meeting is free to the public.
No admission will be charged and
packed house should greet Mr.. Holt,
whether the subject of peace is par
ticularly agreeable at this time or
not. Mr. Holt doubtless will strike a
high patriotic key, urging the neces-
sity of shouldering the present war
load. BE-.
William Howard Taft is president
of the league and Alton B. Parker,
vice president, which indicates non.
partisan, non-political indentity. It's
work has won words of commenda-
tion from President Wilson, Charles
E. Hughes, Elihu Root, Henry Cabot
Lodge and General Leonard Wood.
These names are sufficient to differ
entiate it from the pacifist organiza-
tion sponsored by Bryan, David Starr
Jordan and Henry Ford.

London, April 25.--The exodus of

House in

Over Draft
Deluge Of 0ratory Holds Up Vote
on Administration Conscrip-
ton Measure g.
SPEAKER CLARK IS
TO FIGHT LEGISLATION

Washington, april 25.-The house
and senate resumed debate today on
the war army bill. House leaders
hoped to reach a vote by Friday, but
this appeared by no means certain,
since more than 60 members still
were to be heard, including Speaker
Clark, who was to speak today in
opposition to draft provision.
In the senate a similar situation
existed. Many senators wanted to ex-
press their views on the bill before
consenting to vote, and leaders
agreed despite the new rule under
which debate may be limited. Chair
man Chamberlain of the military
committee expected to ascertain SEN
timent in the senate today on an
agreement to set a time for voting.
In the senate Senator Chamberlain
sought the unanimous consent for a
vote tomorrow afternoon. Several
senators thought that time too early
and he withdrew his proposal and
said he would be satisfied if the final
vote would be reached Saturday.
The galleries broke into cheers in
the house when Representative Hud-
dlestOn of Alabama, who opposes the
selective draft, read list of names
of men he said favored it. Among
them were Vanderbilt, Frank A. Mum
sey, N. bail, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Ehilu Root and j. p. Morgan.
Huddleston also declared that most
Of the pleas for CONSUMPTION came

as the Harvard-Yale and Union

GERMANS LOSE
40 AER0PLANES
IN AIR BATTLE
British Royal Flying Corps Estab-
fishes New Records Seen
to Crash to Ground
AIRMEN REVEL IN
WEATHER LONG DESIRED

From a Staff Correspondent Of The
Associated Press with the British
Army in France, via London, April
25.-The intensely bitter ground fight
ing of the last two days has been re-
flected in the air, and the British
royal flying corps yesterday estab-
lished new record by bringing down
40 German machines. Fifteen of these
were actually seen to crash, while %
collapsed or fell in spinning nose
dives, completely out Of control.
The fights took place $4,000 feet
in the air, from which distance it is
barely possible to see the ground.
and wholly impossible to see an 'ad-
versary crash unless the pilot delib-
erately follows down. Such course
is not feasible where the fighting has
taken on the character of general
melee, as is nowadays often the case.
A remarkable part Of yesterdays per-
torrance is that only two British
machines are missing.
1t was the finest day for war flying
that the young pilots ever had, and
today they have been at it again
since sunrise, but the full reports Of
their exploits are not yet in.
1t is known, however, that one in
trepid young hier, failing to find a
single German observation balloon
aloft, sought out one in its hangar
on the ground, dived at it, and set the
big bag ablaze from stem to stern.
Since Sunday the British airmen
have been revelling in weather they
have long desired. Not a cloud was
in the sky today behind which Ger
man could find shelter. Deprived OF
that means of digging themselves
in" the German f1iers were far scare
er than usual and very difficult to
find. British machines we're every
where along the battle front and far
behind the German lines. Bombing
raids were carried out 45 miles back,
the machines deliberately flying over
ground where battles were raging
with the greatest fury.
Attack Transport Trains.
German trains rushing reinforce.
ments were. attacked and transport
columns on the roads were bombed
and completely disorganized. In sew
eral instances the British machines
came low over the fighting lines and
poured machine gun fire into the Ger
man ranks. In doing this. machines
have deliberately crossed the fire OF
their own as we'll as the enemy's
guns.
Yesterday one British pilot, after
bringing down two Germans and with
all his ammunition gone, descended,
reloaded, filled up his petrol tanks
and took to the air again. Within
half an hour he had brought down his
third machine for that day. Another
pilot feIled two machines, while the
other So were divided among sim
liar number of British pilots.
The greatest fight yesterday. oddly
enough, was a drawn battle. One OF
the British pilots met brilliant Ger
man flier and for a full hour they
maneuvered in most marvellous
manner without either being able to
bring his gun to bear on the other.
They rolled, looped, twisted, deliber-
ately stalled their engines, and, stand
ing the machines on their tail, slid
backward through the air, but all to
no avail. 1t probably was the most
wonderful air duel the war has yet
seen.

Rich Urges
Fixed Price
for Wheat

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 25.-That
the United States government should

er $3.50 per bushel for his 1917 crop,
is the suggestion of Reserve Agent
H. Rich of the Minneapolis Federal
bank, before the authorities at Wash
ington. The question of a maximum
price naturally arises, he said, as
corollary to a minimum price.
II believe to fix maximum price
as we'll would be in fairness to the
farmers and as protection to the
consumer he said.
