PENDING sEDITIoN BILL
 DEBATED IN THE SENATE
Senator Lodge Urged Death Penalty
 for Spies and German Agents.

Washington, April 5.-All other bus mess was laid aside by the senate to- day for denunciation of disloyalty se- dition, German spies and the l. W. w. and discussion of how the espionage act should be extended so as to curb these evils and avoid mob law. with out abridging the fundamental liber- ties of American citizens.
 While the senate debated the pend- ing sedition bill, carrying severe pen alties for disloy%1 utterances and at tempts to obstruct the draft or Liberty loans, President Wilson and the cabi- net gave attention to reports of the lynching of Robert Prager, a German, at Collinsville, Ills, last night. Mem hers of the cabinet said afterward the deplorable incident emphasized the ne- cessitv for immediate legislation that would enable the government to deal with disloyalty and enemy agitation so that the people would not be tempt ed to take the law into their own l hands
 l Administration leaders in the senate
 hope to pass the seditiol bill tomor-
 row, the anniversary of Americas en- try into the war.
 1 Several efforts to widen the scope 1 of the bill were made today. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts introduced ar
 amendment prohibiting transmission
 through the mails of any matter printed in the German language. an6
 Senator Lewis of Illinois offered one
 which would forfeit the citizenship an6 property of persons adjusted disloya
 by Jury.
 Durinsj the discussion. the attitude
 of Victor Berger, socialist candidate
 for the senate in the recent Wiscon-
 sin election was denounced by Sena- i tors Bore of Idaho and Lodge as dis loyal and verging on treason.
 Senator Lodge while urging tht I death penalty for spies and German
 agents who destroy property in thi: country, said the bills restrictions up. tor free speech were too broad ant could. be used to suppress legitimate l discussion.
 Senator Lodge objected to the wid, powers now being exercised by tht

allies by drive to the north and south of it. The fighting near Albert and north of Montdidier seems to have for it's object the turning of the allied posi- tions. That the Albert and Moreuil sectors are vital to the allied defense is shown by the stern resistance main tained there in the past two days.
 American Army ln Struggle. The dawning of the firss anniver- sary of the entry of the United States into the war finds Pershing's veter- ans somewhere in, the battle gene. How many are there, what units have been chosen for the fight and where they will make tbeir first appearance is not known. H is probable. however that an American armg of some pro- portions is either actually in the strug- gle or is held in reserve immediately behind the lines.
 Allies Regained Sorae Ground. In spite of the terrific strain to which they have been subjected. the allies have struck back at the Germans and have regained some ground. One oi these points is near Grivesnes. a short distance northwest of Montdidier, an other near Hebuterne and another be- tween Montdidier and Noyon, near the VDlaSe or OrVlilerS- -SOrel. It Is III LhIs latter region that the great allied counter attack has been expected to be launched So far as re- ported, no infantry attacks have beer made on this front by the Germans but their artillery has been very act i've as fa(r as. Noyon. The line on tht northern side of the salient has alsc been bombarded heavily.
 ! There have been artillery engage ments in various sectors of the Belgian and French fronts outside of the bat
 tie area in Picardy. The city of Rhe
 inns has again been subjected to bonn bardment by the Germans In no sec i tor, however hes there been infantr! i fighting of an unusual nature. Il Italy there has been only the usua

LINCOLN PENNY AS A
 BADGE OF LOYALTY
Is Proposed by Members Of the Na-
 tionai Special Aid Society.

New York. April 5.-A new plan to combat German propagandists and peace advocates was announced here today by the National Special Aid so- ciety, whereby fifty thousand women, members of the society, and as many others as may be later enrolled, are to wear patriotic pennies'-a Lincoln penny, attached to a red. white and blue ribbon. which will mean that the wearer will not talk peace nor listen to such talk from anyone else.
 The organization, which has chapters in many states, was formed by Mrs. W. Alexander, who is now in France, to mobilize the women of the nation for service to the country and to hu- manity and to teach patriotism and preparedness.
 ''We must bring to the women of America the consciousness that this is our war and we cannot stop until we win it, said Mrs. Eliot Butler Whit ing, one of the societys organizers If all the women belong to this great movement we shall be able to nullify the falsehoods and spacious preach ments of the enemy"

TRADING IN WOOL HAS BEEN STOPPED IN BOSTON
All unsold Stock Has Been Placed at the Disposal of the Government.

Boston, April 5.-Trading in wool here was stopped today by vote of the trade and all the unsold stoc was placed at the disposal of the govern ment at prevailing values. Albert W. Elliott, representing the war depart ment, attended a meeting of dealers and told of the urgent need of the government for more wool, the demand having grown much faster than had been anticipated. The raising of uniform specifications from 16 ounce to 20 ounce goods and recent develop ments regarding the army are two leading factors, it is understood, in the present demand.
 The dealers voted unanimously to help out in the emergency and ord cred an immediate inventory of all unsold stocks. The details will be ar ranged by the Boston Wool Trade As socfation.

and we should be eager and happy to perform it-is to lend our money, ev- cry available dollar we have. or can save, to our government in order that our gallant sons may be supplied with all they need to save America"
 Attorney General Gregory.
 ITO save the lives and liberties of ourselves and our children, we have been forced unwillingly to take up arms. To prevail We must dedicate to the farthest limit our every power Shall we give our sacrifice less for freedom than our enemy gives for des- potism? What shall a hoarded penny profit us if we may spend it only as slaves? ?"
 Sec'y Houston of Dept. of Agriculture
 If we do not win this war we shall indefinitely face the inference of the Prussian autocracy or bear perma- nently the intolerable burdens of mii- tarism. To win this war we must have both men and money. It is the duty and privilege therefore, of every citizen who is in a position to do so | to participate in the third Liberty loan campaign."
 Postmaster General BurIeson.
 "One year ago we took up the gage of battle flung in our faces by Ger many. It Is righteous war, Waged by our people. No more inspiring ex- 1 hibition of patriotism was ever made than the response by them to the re- lquests of President Wilson that they contribute to its support by pqrchas- ling our governments obligations He knows us not who doubts that the re- 1sponse will be far beyond the amount lrequired."
 Sec'y RedfeId of Dept of Commerce | Buying Liberty bonds makes our lhomes safer, our business more se- 1 cure. helps maintain America against ,ehemies who mock at our power and think us weak. because we respect the rights of others"
 sec'y Wilson of Dept of Labor.
 "The third Liberty loan has an even .Igreater significance than the first two. They were the expression of instant and responsive patriotism This | serves a grim notice on the foe that
 America is in the fight until the lives
 of it's people are safe from the as
 saults of barbarism, it's institutions secure against the attacks of autoe- lracy and the nations of the earth, in
 cluding our own, are assured the op-
 portunity of living their own lives un- disturbed by the power of militarism. The third Liberty loan is in a way the first in which unmistakably we tell the world that America is steadfast in the battle and enlisted for the war;

STATEMENTS IN SUPPORT
 OF THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Given Out Last Night by Members of
 the Cabinet.

Washington, April 5.-Unless. Ger many is beaten. America can hope for no freedom-this is the note running through statements by cabinet mem bers given out tonight in support Of the third Liberty loan.
 Benedict CroweII, Acting Secretary of .... War.
 We realize the enormous task be- fore us and we are confident of win ning,f but it will take the combined punch of the whole American people and will require an immense expendi- ture of men and money. Did it ever occur to you to think what would hap pen if we failed? If we are beaten in France, the struggle will probably be transferred to American soil. Plans for the invasion and subjugation of the United States are now on file in the office of the German general staff. This we know definitely. I strongly urge you to buy all the Liberty bonds that you can afford and then few issue no bonds for the money they ex- tort from conquered peoples"
 Secretary Daniels of the Navy
 "Our men in the trenches and on the ships are counting their lives as nOInlHS anu are maintaining the nlSn- est standards of American manhood and heroism. It is our privilege al home to sacrifice and sacrifice and sacrifice to provide the government with the means to carry on the war No man who values his freedom and loves the principles upon which oul government was established can afford not to contribute to the limit to. the third Liberty loan."
 sec'y Lansing of State Department
 "The United States has been at wal for a year. The. first enthusiasm which followed the declaration that we would take up arms in the cause of liberty and justice, has passed, but ] in it's place there has come to the na- ton spirit of determination and self sacrifice. Under the influence of this spirit the republic is pressing forward to the accomplishment of the might. | task which this war has imposd upo1 it. Let there be the same patriotic response to the third Liberty loan tha
 was made to those which preceded it.
