BR|Tl|N'S STRONG MAN.
PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE WINS
IN THREATENED CRISIS.
Asquith's Resolution Defeated by a
Vote of 293 to 10G-Premier Pro-
duccd Facts That Punctured Gen.
Mauiice's Charges.

London, May 9.-The Lloyd George
ministry won a notable victory in the
House of Commons today. By a vote
of 293 to 1O6 the House voted down a
motion introduced by former Premier
Asquith providing for the appoint
ment of a special committee to in
vestigate charges made by Major Gen.
Frederick Maurice, recently relieved
of his post Of chief director of mill
tary operations at the war office. Stir
red by the imminence of a cabinet
crisis, the people Of London crowded
the public galleries long before the
debate opened The diplomatic and
peers galleries also were thrOnged.
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 Gen. Maurice and declared
that statements made in his recent
speech, to which Maurice's charges
referred was made on information
received from Gen. Maurice's depart
ment of the war office. We showed
also by documentary evidence that
the extension Of the British line was
made because of pressure exerted by
France, and that the decision was ia :
ken on the advice of the military au-
thorities, in agreement with Field
Marshal Haig, the war cabinet hav-
ing interfered in no way in the mat
ter, although it approved Of the DIS
position. When the Premier left the
House he was loudly cheered.

Paris, May Correspondence of

ly wrecking the room. Through the
cloud Of dust and dirt, nurses and at
tendants rushed in and carried the
wounded and women who were i'll to
another room, returning Immediately
for the infants. One baby had been
thrown out of it's cradle ten feet
away but was quite unhurt The ba-
bies were carried and deposited pell-
nell on beds in room quickly pre-
pared to receive the patients so vio-
lently elected by the German gun.
After some order had been restor-
ed it was found that six mothers were
unable to decide which was their
own among six infants. They had all
been born on the same day and in the
hustle and hustle of removing the in
fants from one room to the other the
indentifying tags had become detach-

Announcements Made by Elber III.
Gary, Chairman of Great United
States Corporation.

New York, May 9.-The United
states steel Corporation, at the re-
quest of the government, will enter
into the manufacture of heavy artil-
lery and prOjectiles lin great guam
titles" In an announcement of the
undertaking Elber: III. Gary, chair
man of the corporation, said that
manufacturing plant for t. purpose
would be constructed as speedily as
practicable at the expense of the gov
ernment on a site located in the in
terror of the country. The work
would be in charge OF a committee of
steel corporation officials who will
receive no compensation for their SER
vices.
Chairman Gary's statement made
public tonight follows:
AT the solicitation of the secre-
tary Of war, the United States Steel
Corporation has undertaken to con-
struct and equip for and at the ex-
pense of the government, upon a site
to be located in the interior of the
country, a plant for the manufacture
Of cannon and projectiles of large
sizes and in great quantities and to
operate the same when finished.
AT best the times required will ex-
tend over a considerable period and
the cost will be large. but the work
will progress with all practicable
speed and economy in the use of
money will be practiced. 1t is hoped
and expected the results will be
creditable to the country
THE corporation, in consequence
of the magnitude of it's business, had
hoped to avoid the necessity of en-
gaging in work of the kind now en-
'ered upon, but was persuaded by the
war department tbat it was imper.
atvely required under existing con-
ditions.

WARNING TO GERMANY.
The Brcst-LitOvsk Treaty to Be

The Brest-Litovsk Treaty to Be a
Germ of Fierce Wars i'm the Future
New York, May 1O.-Warnipg tina:
the Russo-German peace treaty ne
gOtiated at Brest- T.itovsk will cause
permanent antagonism between Ger
many and Russia and that it will be
come the germ of fierce wars i'm the
future" was given by DR.. Ludwig
Haas-Karlsruhe a member OF the
Reichstag, in letter to the Berlin
Tageblatt, recently.
1t would be better for Germany if
the Russian border states were not
segregated" he asserted. Owing to
the uncertainty of the future Of Rus
sia, he declared, Germany should not
be now committed to n fixed policy
For that reason, he pointed out, il
the German emperor to become Duke
of COurland or of any Baltic country.
since "once the Emperor was connect
ed with the Baltic future, there would
be no turning back.
THE new border states (of Rus
sia) should remain free and we de-
sire to remain free" he concluded.

Il know of no greater glory than

American Ambassador, Thomas Mel

given in their honor.
Their camp is located near the
banks Of one of the volcanic lakes in
the mountains north of Rome. The

the student aviatOrs have been flying

LEGISLATION AT PRESENT SES-
SION IMPERATIVE.
Whether Congress Will Act Now De.
pcnds Upon Impression Statement
Makes.

Washington, May 9.-Congressional
leaders have been advised by Secre-
tary McAdoo that legislation at this
session of congress is imperative to
provide revenue to meet the unex-
pected increases IN expenses, Incl
dent to the vast expansion of the ma.
tion's war program.
A statement of the country's finan-
cial situation upon which the amount
of additional taxes and bonds needed
may be calculated, has been prepar-
ed at the treasury for submission
within the next two or three days to
the committee of the senate and
house
Whether congress will undertake at
present session upward revision of
the war revenue law of last fall, lead
ers at the capitol said tonight, de-
pends upon the impression made by
the statement. If il demonstrates
that IL is essential to act now in
stead of waiting until December as
planned, hope for adjournment by
July 1, will go glimmering and con-
gress probably will be here until fall.
Secretary McAdoos belief that leg
islatiOn must be enacted at once was
expressed in a letter to Senator SIM
mons, of North Carolina, chairman
of the senate finance committee.
The unexpectedly heavy estimates
of expenditures for the coming year
include the $4,000. .OOO.O 900 army pro-
gram. about $1,500.O0O.OO0 for the
navy, with further estimates, and
$2,250, 900 for the shipping board.
Senator Simmons said tonight the
tacit agreement to defer revenue leg
islation until next December was
made before these new estimates
were submitted. The situation now,
he said, is materially changed.
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, Democratic leader of the
house and chairman of the ways, and
means committee, said he had heard
nothing about the treasury's plans.
but if additional taxes were decided
upon the levy Of the last tax bill
probably would be doubled. Ee est;-
mated that s2,50O,O00, 900 in new
taxes would be levied, but other lead
ers placed the probable figure at from
$1,000, 100000 to s1,5O0,0OO.O 900.
making total of around $6,000...
100000, based upon the estimated re-
turns of from $4,000, 600, 900 to $4,-
50O,0O0,OO0 from the present law.
Further bond issues also undoubted-
ly will have to be authorized during
the present session, according to
Senator Simmons, regardless of when
revenue legislation is enacted.
Strong Republican opposition. to
any general revenue legislation at the
present session of congress is expect
ed. Senators Lodge and Smoot. Re-
publican members Of the sanate fn-
ance committee, both stated TODAY
that legislation is not necessary before
| December because appreciable
amount of additional revenue would
be received by the treasury before the
spring Of 1919.

CRATER HUNTING GRAFT.
BORGLUM CHARGED. WITH NOT
BEING DISINTERESTED
INVESTIGATOR.
Negotiated Secretly for Formation of
Private Airplane Company While
Holding Commission From Pesi-
dent, According to Documents Read
Into Senate Record.

Washington, May 10.-Sensational
sworn statements. letters and tele-
grams from the files Of the army in
telligence service. were read into the
senate record today to show that Gut
zon Borglum, while holding a per-
sonal commission from President
Wilson to inquire into the govern
ment's aviation program. was nego-
tiating secretly for the formation of
a private airplane company to take
war contracts and capitalize his
friendship with the president.
The sculptor who has been the chief
critic of aircraft production officials
Is represented as seeking for himself
a position as silent partner in the
new proposed corporation. his sole
asset In the transaction to be his per-
sonal friendship with President Will
son. whom he stated he could do any
thing with"
With Borglum was associated, ac-
cording to the documents, Hugo c..
Gibson. an employee of the British
ministry OF munitions OF war in the
United States, located in New York
who was to share In the deal.
A formal statement by Kenyon W.
Mix Of the Dodge Manufacturing
Company Of Indiana. setting forth a
detailed account Of his negotiations
with the two men. is among the pa
oers put into The Congressional Rec
ord. They were presented by Sena.
tor Thomas OF Colorado. a member
of the senate military committee, who
1as been particularly active In con-
nection with the aircraft agitation.
All documents submitted by Senator
Thomas as well as much other data
rom the war department have been
placed in the hands of Assistant At
torney General Frierson, who has
lust. started in the inquiry ordered by
~ the president into charges of graft
disloyalty and incompetence in the
government aircraft program.
The charges referred first in cap
!tol cloak room gossip and finally on
the floor Of the senate have been at
tributed largely to assertions of Bor-
slum.
With the Mix statement there was
lied today a copy of a formal state
nent accusing Borglum. made TO the
military intelligence section of the
army general staff late in January by
Henry Harrison Suplee. Mix's consult
ng engineer. and who participated in
many Of the conferences on the sub
ect Of the proposed corporation. with
Borglum and Gibson described by his
chief. The latter said he became sus-
picious when he visited Borglum in
Washington during January and was
shown President Wilson's letter au-
.horizing the investigation by the
sculptor and decided then to report
he whole matter to the government
authorities.
There are intimations that a great
ieal of information bearing on Bor-
slum's activities and motives has been
assembled by the army intelligence
service. There Is an unconfirmed re-
port In official circles that evidence
of German influence In some form will
be brought to light when the full story
g revealed.
