GAN TRAIN ALLIES

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Authority to train in this country and to furnish all necessary equipment to the troops O. any other nation engaged in the war OF Germany and Austria would be giv- en the war department under an amendment added to the S12,000,00O,- GOO army appropriation bill today by the senate military committee.
 In discussing the amendment today Secretary Baker said emphatically that no definite plans looking to training foreign troops in America had been taken up and that no particular coun- try was had in mind when the amend ment was sent to congress. The de- partment, he reiterated, simply desired to be in a position to act should the occasion arise.
 The central and southern American nations which already have broken re- lations with Germany possess a pOten. tial reserve of not less than 2,750,0OO men. according to computations made here.

Senate Committee Decides 10 Reopen Hearings on Jones' Amendment for Absolute National Prohibition
By Review Leased wire)

! WASHINGTON. June 2L-Fearing absolute prohibition might so affect ] the labor of the country as to interfere with prosecution of the war, the sen- ate committee today decided to reopen hearings on the Jones prohibition amendment to the S11,000,000 emerg- ency agricultural appropriation bili. The hearings were to have been re- stunned tomorrow kut owing to the in- ability of representatives of the ship ping board and others to be present, they were postponed until Tuesday. In reaching agreement to continue the hearings, the committee called upon Secretary Daniels, Postmaster General Burleson, Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board, Director General Schwab of the emergency fleet corporation and heads of a number of industrial plants en- ploying large numbers of men to ap- pear as witnesses.
 Decision to hold further hearings re- suited from testimony given this week before the committee by MT. Colby He said the taking of beer from ship yard employees would lessen their eff CleHCS anu EeulCe lHe lOuudSe Oulpul about 9 per cent.
 When the committee met today Sen ator Kenyon, republican of Iowa, and other supporters of prohibition, de- clared their opposition to reporting favorably the Jones amendment if it would interfere with the successful prosecution of the war and said that before they cast their votes, they de- sired to ascertain further if the opinion expressed by Mir Colby indi- cated the shipping boards attitude.
 Although President Wilson has so far refrained frCm taking any part directly in the matter, it was learned tonight that the White House is show ing an active interest in the commit tees deliberations, and some senators believe the opposition of the members of the shipping beard to the amend ments reflects the White House view
 Senator Thompson conferred with the president late today, but declined to discuss the meeting further than to say that the presidents attitude was unchanged; that, while not opposed to such legislation, he did object to it interfering with necessary war legis- latiCn

AIR ROUTE NOW
 PROPOSED FOR
 YANKEE PLIERS
Great Britain and America Plan to Send Liberty Planes to France Across Ocean on Own Power
CRv Review Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, June 21-Estab- lishment of an air, route to Europe from the United States in order to bring the full force of American effort in the air to bear against Germany is a definite project proposed by the British air council. This was dis closed today by Major General Will liam Brancker, controller of equip ment on the council. who is in Wash ingtOn.
 Plans for an initial flight across the Atlantic this fall as already well ad- vanced. American cooperation is sought and General Brancker hopes that the first machine to make the crossing will cary both British and American pilots. At least three Brit ish pilots. regarded as qualified for the trip are here and several types of machines produced in England have ample fuel capacity for the forty hours & flying it is estimated the trip would take.
 The attention of the American gov etnment toward the project has not been disclosed, although General Brancker laid stress on the fact that the sole purpose of the trip was to tiaze a new trail to Europe over which American aircraft can be de- livered next year without taxing ship ping Presumably the plan arises from the purpose of the British ministry to carry the bombing warfare into Ger many on a steadily increased scale.
 After General Brancker had made public his plans, Secretary Baker said no army aviation officers had yet been assigned to work in conjunction with the British on the project. Successful navigation of the air to Europe is 10 be hoped for he said, but no definite T9an To attempt 1t is now before government officials.
 As the trip is projected. 1t would start from New FOundland, touch at the Azores and Portugal. concluding in Ireland. probably to be resumed after overhaul, to France. While this is not the shortest route, it is said 10 offer better weather and better Op- portunity to forecast the weather.
 The use of weightcarrying machines such as night bombers is essential as the carving capacity later to be de- voted to hauling high explosives to German centers selected for destruc- tion would go into extra fuel durinS the trip. The twin Liberty type of American seaplane. built on British design. and now in production here in a steadily increasing scale meets these requirements.
 Waste. Of planes at the front is General Brancker said For that reason he warned his hearers to disregard talk of maintaining 100000 planes or any such number.

 COPENHAGEN. June 21.-Four resi- dents of Berlin escaped from Germany Thursday in two airplanes and sue ceeded in landing safely in Denmark. The occupats of the airplanes declared they fled from Berlin because of con ditiOns there.
 The two machines, which are of the Albatross type. left Berlin early on Thursday morning Their flight was observed and guards along the coast were warned. When the machines reached the Baltic. the guardships opened fire and it was as first errone- Ously reported that one of the air planes had been brought down.
 One of the two occupants of the first Albatross was Dr. c. r. Nicolai. formerly a professor of phychiolosy at the Berlin university He is the author of a book that denounced Prus- sian militarism and had been punished with Imprisonment because of its pub lication.
 The second Albatross landed in the neighborhOOd of Rudkoebing with its two German deserters. This machine had been delayed in making a landing on an island to repair a slight defect in the engine.
 The Rudoebing correspondent of the National Tidende quotes the crew of the second Albatross as saying they had been at the battle front and were expected Go return there They de clared they preferred death rather than to go back The two men wore infantry uniforms and one of them had the Iron cross.

June 21.-Instruc- tions to draft boards were issued today by Provost Marshal General CrOwder explaining and simplifying the work or fight order under which after July 1 all men of draft age regardless of their classification. must engage in em- ployment held to be productive or join the army.

 Several specific rulings are made as to the effect of the order on certain classes named as nOn-prOductives. In the case of sports and amusements. the language of the order is repeated with emphasis. but without mentioning g professional baseball. an expected an- nouncement concerning which had been awaited with widespread interest. In making public the instructions, how ever. officials of General CrOwdeT's office said baseball playing "at pres ent" is regarded as non-prOductive. though there will be no ruling until an individual case has been appealed from a local board.
 Managers, cooks, clerks and oth-
 CT employees not engaged in the
 actual serving of food and drink
 in public places are exempted.
 Store executives, managers, super

 The boards are directed to apply common sense in considering with drawals of deferred classification prs visions and to aid restaurants in mak- ing necessary changes in employment by furnishing lists of those summon ed for examination to the United States employment service.

NORTHERN ITALY. June 21, (By

 rains have turned the Piave river

 communicating lines and prevent
 ing succor being given the shat
 tered divisions struggling unuer
 the stea1y pounding of the Italian
 uns of the Duke of Aosta's third
 army.
 The satisfaction of the Italians over the present situation is matched only by the anger of the Austrian command. According to prisoners the swollen riv- CT has been the culmination of a series of difficulties which prevented the AU- strians from making headway either on the Montello plateau or that section of the country lying between the Ire visO-Me estre and the San Dona Di Piave-Mesfre railway lines. where the fighting iks' been hard and Ssruei ali the week, with the Austrians sorely pressed at every point and harrassed on both sides of the river by the Ital- ian small guns and also huge pieces belonging to the navy mounted on floats, which move about the water way at will.
 It is considered only a question or a brief time before the Austrians will begin another offensive. It is said this time they probably will concen- trate their efforts, instead of scatter ing them as they did 9 week ago when they followed the German plan of at tempting to make .. pig general offen- sive over a long line before revealing their point of attack.
 It is thought that the plan was dictated by General LudendOrff, the German commander, who did not real ize that the Austrians were too weak to make such an attempt, as they nor only lack artillery out local officers of the lower grade.
 The presence of Emperor Charles on the Italian front is considered one of the signs leading to the belief that the AUs:rians will feel the necessity of renewing their attack.
