his ofrecast to congress in January that

Mr.. Baker dictated the following
statement:

that early in the present year 500. 900
American troops would be dispatched
to France. | cannot either now or per
maps later discuss the number of Am

No Shortage of Machine Guns.

ton of machine-gun production during
the past few days, the secretary an
nounced that there is no present short

and no shortage is in prospect.
The secretary chose his words about
the troops in France with the utmost
care. He would not amplify the state
ment In any way and specially asked
that the press refrain from speculation
as to what precise figures his guarded
remarks covered or as to what posi-
bilities of early further increase I'm

well-informed quarters to propose an
average 20 per cent advance in pay

Mr.. McAdoo is not bound to follow the
advice of the commission and can in
crease or reduce their recommends

has followed its announced policy OF
giving the highest paid unions the
lowest rate of advance, holding the
relief is needed most by the men who
have been barely making ends meet
or perhaps going in debt on the wages
they received.
Apparently none of the commission's
recommendations has met the requests
of the unions themselves, which
ranged as high as 40, 80 and 60 per
cent.

MORE REVENUE is NEEDED.
McAdoo Declares That Legislation at
Present Session is Imperative.

Washington.-Cong leaders
have been advised by Secretary Nc
Adoo that legislation at this session
of congress is imperative to provide
revenue to meet the unexpected in
creases in expenses incident to the
vast expansion of the nations war pro-
gram
statement of the country's finan-
cial situation, upon which the amount
of additional taxes and bonds needed
may be calculated, has been prepared
at the treasury for submission within
the next two or three days to the COM
mittees of the senate and house.
Whether congress will undertake at
the present session upward revision of
the war revenue law of last fall, lead
ers at the capitol said, depends upon
the impression made by this state
ment. If it demonstrates that it is
essential to act now instead of wait
ing until December, as planned, hope
of adjournment by July 1 will go glim-
mering and congress probably will be
here until fall.

STORY OF A FAMOUS STATUE
Bronze Piece, Work Of Leopard,
Cause Of Quarrel Resulting In Ii,
Being Badly Disfoured.

Another statue that has been con-
veyed by sea and landed safely In
Rome is the great equestrian one of
the famous General Colleoni, which
stood on its lofty pedestal In the Cam
po OF SIS. Giovanni Paolo. Ruskin
says of 1T: II do not believe there IL
more glorious work of sculpture ex-
listing In the world" This statue is,
or course, of bronze. and was mod
eled by the Florentine sculptor and
painter Andrea verrocchio In 1881. as
sisted by his more famous pupil. Leon
ardo da Vinci. Rev. Alexander Rob-
ertson writes In the Christian Herald.
After Verrocchio's death, 1t was cast
In bronze by Leopard.
There Is a story told to the effect
that when Leopard had finished his
work. he quarreled with the republic
over It, AS he could not come to .
settlement, he knocked of the horses
head and escaped to Florence. The
republic ordered him to return, but
he refused, saying: 'T have knocked
on the horses head. 1t Is true, but
can put 1t on again; but II come
to Venice and you take or my head
you could not put It on again." The
republic forgave him. assured him OF
his life and reward. and he returned
and finished his work.

COMMONS DECIDES
AGAINST INQUIRY
CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN PREMIER
BY REJECTION OF ASQUITH'S
PROBE PLAN
Lloyd George Wins Decisive Victory
and Coalition Cabinet Is Retained
in Full Power, Charges of General
Maurice Being Refuted.

London.-The Lloyd George ministry
won notable victory in the house of
commons on May 8. BY vote of 293
to JOG the house voted down motion
introduced by former Premier Asquith
providing for the appointment of IL
special committee to investigate
charges made by Major General Fred
erick b. Maurice, recently relieved of
his post of chief director of military
operations at the war office.
Stirred by the imminence of a cabi-
net crisis, the people of London
crowded the public galleries long be-
fore the debate opened. The diplo-
matte and peers galleries also were
throngeu
Immediately after the introduction
of Mr.. Asquith's motion, the premier
took the floor and spoke in defense of
the government. He refuted the
charges of General Maurice and de-
clared that statements made in his re-
cent speen, to which Maurice's
charges referred, were made on infor-
nation received from General Maui
rice's department of the war office.
He showed also by documentary evil
dence that the extension of the Brit
Ish line was made because of pressure
exerted by France, and that the de-
cision was taken on the advice of the
military authorities, in agreement with
Field Marshal Haig, the war cabinet
having interfered in no way in the
matter, although it approved of the
dispositions.

AIRCRAFT PROBE LAUNCHED.
Inquiries to Be Made Into CHARGES of
Graft and Msmanaqement.

Washington.-Two new investiga-
lions of aircraft production are about
to be launched. While President VIII.
son and the cabinet were on Tuesday
hearing Attorney General Gregory's
plans for the inquiry into charges of
graft and mismanagement ordered by
the president, Chairman Chamberlain
of the senate military committee an
nounced that the committee proposed
to reopen its investigation and put
its fingers on the men responsible" for
deficiencies in the aviation program.
In the meantime the house military
committee, considering the fifteen bill
lion dollar army appropriation bill
with billion for aviation, virtually
completed a brief aircraft inquiry of
its own.
After hearing Secretary Baker and
his chief aides for aviation, the COM
mitteemen were agreed that the stu
alton did not call for an investiga-
ton by them, and leading members
said after the meeting they were con-
vinced both that there had been no
criminal liability for delays and def.
ciencies In the past, and that the pres.
ent status Of war department plans
was satisfactory.
In addition to outlining the pro-
gram for the coming year, war depart.
ment officials gave the committee an
accounting for the $74O.OOO,OOO already
appropriated for aviation, showing that
$3O7 ,O0O,OO0 actually has been spent
