IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 4.-Protracted controversy in the senate over the sedition bill to severely penalize dis loyal acts and utterances and inter ferences with Liberty loan sales and the army draft, ended late today in the adoption of the conference report measure by a vote of AS to 26. The house is expected to agree to the re- port next week.
 The bill was initiated year ago and provides maximum penalties of 70 years imprisonment and S10,0OO fine or both for a wide variety of disloyal acts. It amends the espionage act and with the woman spy bill recently passed, completes the cycle of legisla- tion urged by the department of jus tice as necessary to clothe the govern ment with power to deal with sedition and disloyalty and prevent mob vio- lence which has resulted from the de- partment's inability to secure con- victions of persons making disloyal utteranceS.

STOCKHOLM, May 4.-The Swed- ish government is striving to the ut most to obtain food for the Swedish people "who literally are fighting against starvation.,' F. w.

Returns by Districts
Atlanta is at Bottom

The Atlanta district. which has been at the bottom of the percentage column since the campaign started April 6, sent this word tonight:
 Sales reported from all parts of the district indicate that the quota may be exceeded by more than 25 per cent. We believe that practically every county and community will go over the top"
 A 33 per cent oversubscription was hoped for by the New England dis trict managers. Every state in the district passed it's goal this afternoon.
 A telephone message from the Rich mond district headquarters tonight said $135, ,S14,00O subscriptions were in hand and s15O.O00,OOO was expected before midnight.
 On the streets of Washington to- night, bond selling continued active ly although the city had already gone far over it's quota. Scores of motor trucks were pressed into service as platforms for speakers.

BIG SHIP BUILT IN
 LESS THAN 30 DAYS
[RepubIican A. P. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, May 4.-What is declared to be new worlds record for shipbuilding will be established to- morrow in the launching of the $500 ton steel collier Tuckahoe at the plant of the New York Shipbuilding com pany Camden, N. J. in less than one month from the time the keel was laid.
 If the ship goes into the water at 10:30 a. m. as planned, it will mean that in 27 days, two hours and 50 min- utes a vessel has been added to the American merchant marine, practic- ally complete in every detail.
 Completion of the vessel in so short a time is regarded by the shipping board officials as one of the most re- markable industrial achievements in history. The chief Tuckahoe will take her place under the flag forty-one days ahead of time.

DOCTORS CALLED II

 TROOPS ID FRANCE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

W WASHINGTON, May 4.-Thousands of doctors and surgeons throughout the country will be urged to enroll for service to meet the growing demand of the army and navy under plan decided upon today at a meeting here of state committees of the general medical board of the Council of Ma tional Defense. It is expected that 1000 will respond to the call by July 1 and 5000 more before the end of the year.
 Medical men who decline commits sions will be called on by the state committees for an explanation.
 Major John D. Mclean, secretary of the general board, in announcing the state quotas which are to be ap- portioned among the counties by the state committees, said that the cities must provide most of the doctors, as country communities could not spare many.
 Arizona Quota Five
 The quotas for western states in clude: Arizona, ,; California, 200; Colorado, 100; New Mexico, 50; Okla homa. 100; Texas, 15O.
 Senator Owens of Oklahoma, ad- dressing the meeting regarding his bill to increase appointments of officers in the military medical service, de- clared that the general staff of the army ''is always opposed to giving additional dignity to the medical men" The bill provides for 10000 officers in the medical corps. He said these men should have equal rank with line officers, because without such author ity the medical corps cannot enforce it's regulations.
 Arizona's quota is probably so small because of the exceedingly large num- Der of physicians and surgeons in this state, in proportion to population, who have already volunteered.

Sim Feiners' Stand

Unlike the Sim Feiners, who take the view that the Irish should ignore the offer of home rule and remain per manently away from parliament, the absence of the nationalists is tempor- ary and the prevailing opinion among them is that they should return for the second reading of the home rule bill and state their decision upon it. In fact the union of the nationalists and Sim Feiners, is limited to the question of conscription. The Sim, Feiners make no secret of their aim to replace the nationalists from the Irish representation in parliament as completely as possible with candidates pledged to absent themselves from the house of commons and reject all British authority.

Shows Depths of Crisis
Bohemians Starving

Everywhere the emperor was met by deputations who described to him the dreadful scarcity of food and starvation suffered by the populace. At Schluckenau, a deputation stated that fifty per cent of the population was undeffed and a large proportion of the people were unfit for work. There is a great deal of hunger, ty- phus and tuberculosis"
 A telegram via Amsterdam, says that several newspapers are skeptical regarding the question whether in the interval it will be possible to create a basis giving better prospect for fur ther parliamentary labor. The Ser lin Tageblatt says the principal req son for the adjournment of parliament was the governments failure to create a basis for the formation of ma jority and the crowns desire to avoid debates on the emperor's letter.
 Emperor Charles Letter
 A section of the British liberal press continues to take a critical attitude toward the manner in which the British French and Italian gov ernments dealt with Emperor Charles letter. They hold that it offered a promising avenue of peace and that the doors should not have been closed. They also criticize the failure to con suit President Wilson in the matter.

PRESIDENT PARD0NS MEN CONDEMNED FUR
 SLEEPING 0N DUTY
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, May 4.-President Wilson's action today in pardoning two soldiers of the American eXpeditionary force who had been condemned to death by a court martial in France for sleeping while on sentry duty and com muting to nominal prison terms the death sentences imposed on two others for disobeying orders. was viewed by many army officials as approval by the president of Secretary Bakers stand against the imposition of the death penalty in the army except in special cases.
 Two Men Pardoned
 Privates Forest D. Sebastian of El- dorado, ILL. and Jeff Cook, of Lutie, Okla, were the men pardoned In reaching his decision the president took into consideration their extreme youth-the former being 20 years old and the latter 19-and concluded that they did not realize the seriousness Of their offense and it's possible disas- trous results upon the unit to which they were attached.
 privates Olon Ledoyen, of Atlanta, Ga. and Stanley c. Fishback of Con nelltOn, Ind, were the men convicted of disobeying orders. Their sentence was commuted to three years in the federal pententiary at Fort Leaven- worth, Kas., and they will be brought to this country for imprisonment. De- tails in these cases have not been made public. The soldiers are 19 years old
 All Four Volunteers
 All four of the men were volunteers in the regular army.
 The presidents action was in line with recommendations made to him by Secretary Baker wno made a full investigation of the cases after the sentence of the court had been re- viewed and approved by the judge ad- vocate department.
 Secretary Baker previously had gone on record against the adoption of any general rule for the imposition of the death penalty for military offenses.

UNREST IN IRELAND
 CONTINUES DESPITE
 LATE APPOINTMENTS
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wlre1

DUBLIN, May 4.-Although Ireland is quieter than before, the announce ment of conscription here is still caus- ing great tension of public feeling and much discussion of future prospects.
 The appointment. as chief secretary for Ireland of Edward Shortt, radical and home ruler, followed by the ap- pointment of William Archer Redmond, member of parliament for East Tyrone, as intelligence officer on Lord F'renchs staff, created for a few days the inn pression that the government had abandoned it's intention of enforcing conscription.
 It is. however. generally realized that the policy of the government is two- fold, and that it's declarations re- garding home rule and conscription stand equally firm. In the best in formed circles, it is believed that if home rule is adopted, conscription would be enforced at once and that the same result would follow the rejection of the home rule bill by the national ists.

FOOD CRISIS KEEN
 IN AUSTRIA, IS APT
 TO END PARLIAMENT
CContinued from Page One)

CContinued from Page Onel need. The Hague correspondent of the Times, discussing the German food shortage yesterday, remarked:
 Something More Than Food
 "Even the ordinary German public realizes that something worse than food scarcity threatens Austria"
 For two months the exaspsration between the slayonic' sections of the Austrian population and the other races has been at the highest point of tension. The Germans have been bullying Premier von Sevdler with insolence which reached its climax in the request that the Austrian from tier populations of German race should for food supply purposes be annexed to Germany.
 Shows Depths of Crisis
 This request appeared at first little short of increditable, owing to the long standing feuds involved. Prob ably nothing more significant of the depths of the present crisis has oc. cured than the fact that the Austrian government felt compelled to yield completely on this point. To many politicians this yielding of the food administration in Bohemia and Tyrol must seem a distinct step toward the breaking up of the Austrian empire
 Some terrible pictures of the food situation in Bohemia have reached the outside world through the correspond ent of the Vienna Arbeiter Zietung socialist He wrote:
