Would Lease the
Telegraph System
Also Take Over Telephone Systems
and Run Them In Connection With
POstOffice

WASHINGTON, March 20.-A bill
to lease all telegraph and telephone
agencies to be operated under the
postoffice was introduced in the house
this afternoon by Representative Hill
lizard of Colorado.
Instead of direct compulsory pur-
chase" said Representative Hilliard
"the bill proposes lease, under en-
inent domain, and thus eliminates the
necessity of large financing by pur-
chase.
ITO avoid maintaining four separate
communicating organizations which
entails great waste it merges and uni
fies them all in the postal system by
taking a lease of the telegraph and
telephone network The owners will
become lessons to the government and
be paid rental as lust compensa-
ton" substantially as is being done
with the railways. By eliminating the
waste and three extra organizations
the service can be reduced to a min
imum of expense"

lOVERMAN BILL REPORTED
FAVORABLY TO THE SEN
ATE YESTERDAY
Efforts to Defeat I'm
availing
Battle on Floor of Upper House
Is Certain Though 1t Is Believ-
ed Measure Will Eventually
Surely be Enacted.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Admin-
istration forces won an important vic
tory today when the senate judiciary
committee, by a vote of IL to Z, de-
cided to make favorable report ON
the Overman bill giving President
Wilson broad powers to reorganize the
war government.
The vote today stood: For the bill,
Senators Overman of North Carolina;
Fletcher of Florida; Culberson OF
Texas; Ashurst of Arizona Walsh OF
Montana; Shields, Tennessee; VOL
colt, Delaware; King, Utah; all Dem
ocrats, and Senators Nelson of Mimi
esota; Colt of Rhode Island and Borah
of Idaho, Republicans.
Against the bill: Senators Hoke
Smith of Georgia; Reed, Missouri;
Democrats; and Senators Dillingham;
of Vermont; Brandegee, Connecticut;
Cummins, Iowa; Sterling, South Da-
kota and Poindexter of Washington,
Republicans.
Senator King, although he voted for
the bill, announced that he reserved
the right to support amendments
which will be offered to make the
measure more specific when it comes
up in the senate. Just before the
final roll call, the committee, by q
vote of 10 to s, rejected an amend
ment by Senator Hoke Smith to con-
fine the proposed reorganization TO
the war and navy departments, the
shipping board the emergency fleet
corporation and the bureau of mines
Senator Smith gave notice that he
would offer the amendment again on
the senate floor. The war cabinet bill
and the munition dictator bill will al.
so be offered in the nature of amend
!, ments or substitutes.
The action of the committee today
, climaxed a fight of more than si1
weeks in the committee, beginning
when Postmaster General Burlesor
brought the bill to the capitol and per
suaded Senator Overman to introduc,
it.
The only important change made II
the bill since its introduction wal
2 the elimination of the provision Civ
: ing the president power to create nev
governmental agencies at will.
The bill as is stands gives the pres
ident almost unlimited power to reor
ganize the war government in an,
e way he sees fit to promote higher ef
ficiency.

Japanese Forces
Going to Amur
Hurrying Forward to Protect Lives Of
Their People From Actions of Riot
ers There
Frank H. King

e. ~ S. Staff Correspondent
TOXIC, March 20.-Armed Japanese
forces, composed OF volunteers, have
been sent into the Siberian province
of Amur to protect the lives of jap
anese residents from Bolsheviki riot
ers
1t was stated in official circles to-
day that the Bolshevili outrages in
northeastern Siberia have increased,
especially since the all-Russian con-
gress of soveits ratified the separate
peace with the central empires.
Following the clash between Boil
shevik rioters and Japanese at Blag-
ovieschenk, Japanese merchants at
that place armed themselves and or
ganized for the purpose of protec-
tion.
The outcome of the situation at
lagovieshtchensk is unknown but re-
Inducements of Japanese volunteers
were ordered there from Tsitsihar.
Blagovieshtchensk is the capital OF
Amur province and lies on the Amur
river 1t is the center of gold min
ing district and has a population of
about $4,000. Tsitsihar is in Man
churia, near the Mongolian frontier.
1t lies on the Nonni river and is the
capital of Tsitihar province.
First reports of the fighting at
lagovieshtchensk said that more
than 100 Japanese were killed, but
later this figure was said to be great
ly exaggerated and that not more than
one or two Japanese lost their lives.

Labor Situation Better-Draft
of Workers not Contemplated

At the request of a number of
farmers who are interested in beet
acreage to help win the war. meet
ing of merchants of this city was
held Tuesday afternoon In the rooms
of the Twin Falls County Farm bu
reau, and plans laid for an extensive
campaign throughout the county un-
der the auspices Of the council of de-
Tense, during which the assurances
received regarding fair treatment,
prices, labor, will be laid before land
owners and renters and each asked
to plant as many beets as compatible
with the best farming methods, in the
anterest of patriotism
A number of farmers have for
some time been interested in the mat
ter, but realizing that with their own
work pressing and with other farm
ers busy, they would not have the
time to carry the campaign through
out the county, they suggested to the
merchants that their cooperation
would be desirable. The merchants
responded at once and Superintendent
Bulge of the Amalgamated Sugar
company was requested to attend g
meeting and state what assurances
he could give in the way of getting
labor to work in the beet field. Mr.
Bulge stated to the meeting that thu
labor situation was much better thai
last year The season had opened
much more satisfactorily than las
year, and assurances for getting
Mexican laborers for the beet field
had been given and the promises wer
being fulfilled. Two hundred fami
lies had moved into parts of Mon
tana, and sixty had already arrive
at one place in Idaho. In other way
the situation was better. The mer
chants suggested that the matter
put up to the council of defense a

ditions were explained there and tn

DAVIES AND LENROOT OPEN
CAMPAIGN FOR THE SEN
AToRSHIP
Berger Tries to Get La
Toilette Men
Odds Seem to Favor Lenroot but
Issue Will be Doubtful Until the
Polls Close on the Day of the
Election.

WASHINGTON, March 81 - With
representative Irvine l.. Lenroot as
the Republican nominee for United
States senator in Wisconsin assured
today by 1000 majority, the Republi-
can and Democratic machines were
being oiled up for the first partisan
fight of the war period in the west.
Both Lenroot and Joseph r. Davies.
his Democratic opponent, declare that
under no circumstances will they with
draw from the race. This means, po-
litical experts here said today, that the
anti-war and pacifist strength in Wis
consin will go in a body to Victor
Berger, the first Socialist ever to sit
in the house of representatives.
President Wilson already has es-
poused the cause of Davies. The lat
ter's manager will make the cam
paign on a support the president" is
sue. Lenroot, a consistent and loyal
supporter of all of the administra-
tion war measures, will be backed by
the Republican committee slogan OF
win the war at all costs'' Essen
TALLY there is no real issue between
them. This centers attention on what
Berger may do and what support he
will draw from the rival camps.
Officials here will watch the situa
tion very closely Under ordinary cir
cumstances the odds would favor Len
root. But party lines are certain t,
disappear in the present fight, official
say, and from now until the poll
close, speakers of national reputation
from all over the country will con
centrate on Wisconsin.

LONDON, March 21-German artil-
lery opened up at dawn today with a
terrific bombardment against the
whole British front between the
Scarpe river to a point south of St.
Quentin
Announcement of the German can
nonade was made by the war office
at noon.
British troops carried out success
full raids in the st. Quentin sector
last night, capturing about a dozen
prisoners and several machine guns.
Other successful raids were made
by the British at Messines on the West
Flanders front, and also in he sec
tor of the Houlhoulst forest, north OF
the Ypres-Staden railway.
German positions were entered and
some prisoners were captured.
The intense German artillery activ-
ity reported by the British war office
may be the beginning of the long her
aided and much advertised German Of
fensive on the western front
The Scarpe river lies east of Arras
and the front lying between that sec
tor and a point south of st. Quentin
might be roughly estimated at about
40 miles in length.
The whole line has been the scene
of violent and bloody fighting in the
past, especially the zone around Cam
brai which lies miles north of st
Quentin.
If, as some observers are inclined t.
believe, the cannonading is really thu
prelude to a German drive, the great
est battle of the war may be in pros
pect.
