President and the Senate
Dispute Over War In
quiry Settled
SENATE ADOPTS
A COMPROMISE
The Action Was Taken After
Only a Two-Minute
Debate

Washington, ID. c.. May 22.-With less
than two minutes debate, the threatened
breach between President Wilson and
the Senate disappeared to-day when by
a viva voce vote an acceptable substitute
was adopted in place of the Chamberlain
resolution, which the president contended
was nothing less than a proposal to con-
stitute the military affairs committee a
committee on the conduct of the war.
The compromise pronounced accepta-
BILE to the administration and declared
by Senator Chamberlain TO be acceptable
TO him, was reached after prolonged CON
ferences and merely proposes that any
expenses incurred by the military com
mittee for Investigations previously au-
thorized shall be paid from the contin-
gent fund of the Senate. It eliminates
entirely the proposed authority for a
subcommittee TO sit during the recess
of Congress.
BY the adoption of the substitute,
vote on the original Chamberlain reso-
luton was avoided entirely. President
Wilson plainly told senators he eonsid-
cred such vote practically question
of vote of confidence.
The substitute resolution does not pre-
vent an investigation of the aircraft sit
uation, to which the president has stated
he has no objections whatever.

GERMAN PLOTS
INVOLVE FINNS
N AMERICA
Lithuanians Also Included in Revelations
Which Have Been Made By Secret
Withheld from Public.

Washington, May 22.-Although it has
been revealed that government agents
have gathered evidence in the United
States of conspiracies between Sim Fein
leaders and German agitators to incite
rebellion in Ireland, officials still declined
to-day to indicate whether state de-
partment announcement on the Irish de.
velopments might be expected.
For many months, it was disclosed,
American agents have been inside the
councils of Irish in this country, who
have plotted with German agents for
armed insurrection against British rule
These disclosures We're followed last
night by the announcement that agents
also have uncovered similar German in
trigues with other nationalistic groups
in the United States. German money. il
was said, has been used to finance agi-
tation among Firms and Lithuanians.
Full details of the evidence was not
made public, it was explained, because a
number of persons still are under sur
veillance, but direct action by the United
States in the case of Irish was not
deemed advisable inasmuch as this gov
ernment did not wish to meddle in the
affairs of the British empire. Informa-
tion in some cases was turned over to
British representatives, and it is under
stood, the recent arrests of a number of
Sim Fein leaders in Ireland resulted
partly from evidence unearthed in this
Some announcement of the reason for
arrests of Sim Feiners is expected soon
either from London or Washington.

"Potter left the North sea station in a
British seaplane and steered due west
until six miles southwest of North Hin
derlight. Another plane accompanied
Potter and kept position to starboard
planes were sighted to port, heading to-
ward them flying low. Both British
planes diyed about 100 yards apart, clos
ing up on the nearest German.
Fire opened from both at close range.
''Potter's companion had emptied one
drum from the forward cockpit when the
gun jammed. Two more hostile planes
then appeared overhead, attacking Wig
orousiy.
-Four more enemy machines now ap-
peared in V formation. OF seven Ger
mans in action. four were attacking Pot
ter and the others his companion, Pot
ter fell behind and began to zigzag. He
first veered slightly starboard, then
turned at right angle to port.
Again his companion throttled down
to let him catch up, and began climbing
to reduce headway. Potter lodged again,
but was then broadside to all enemy ma
chimes and under their fire only 30 feet
from the water. His companion, $50 feet
above saw Potter's machine burst into
flames, come down part of the way under
control, then crash on the surface.
Potter was last seen on the surface
amid flames, which suddenly turned to
huge cloud of smoke.

NEW MENACE IN HOLLAND.
Germany Seems Bent on Forcing Her to
Submit.

London, May 22.-The prohibition Of
the sailings of all Dutch ships from
Dutch ports, the Rotterdam correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph says he
learns, is connected with new move by
the German government to compel Hol-
land to sign on Berlin's terms the long
pending economic agreement which Hol-
land has declined to do owing to the
onerous conditions imposed by Germany.
The German government, accordingly,
has refused a safe conduct to Dutch ship
ping through the safe zone and seized the
steamship Megrez, which Holland char
tered to fetch a cargo Of wood from Swe-
den. The seizure was a direct challenge
to Holland and it is added, the prohibit
tion of further sailings is the sequel.
