OVERMAN BILL is PASSED
BY SENATE, VOTE 63 TO IS
Gives President Authority to Co-Ordl-
nate and Reorganize Government
Departments During War.

Washington, April 30.-Rejecting
all amendments designed to limit the
presidents authority, the senate
passed the Overman bill, with its gen.
eral grant of power for the executive
to coordinate and reOrganiZe govern
ment departments and other agencies
during the war.
The vote on the measure. which
now goes to the house, was 81 to IL,
many senators who opposed the ad-
ministration in the long fight over pro-
posed amendments joining the major
ity when the test came on final pas
sage.
Only one Democrat, Senator Reed
of Missouri, voted against the bill. Re-
publicans who voted against it were:
Brandegee, Cummins, Dillingham;,
France, Gallinger, Harding, johnson
(Cal.), Knox, Poindexter, Sherman,
Sterling, Sutherland.
AS passed by the senate, the meas
ure authorizes the president to make
such redistribution of functions
among executive agencies as he may
deem necessary" and to utilize, CO.
ordinate and consolidate any execu-
tive or administrative commissions,
bureaus, agencies, offices or officers
now existing by law, to transfer any
duties or powers from one existing
department or to transfer the person
mel thereof" These powers, however,
"shall be exercised only in matters
relating to the conduct of the pres
ent war"
The measure also provides that If
the president believes any agency
should be abolished he shall report to
congress, and congress will arrange
for transfer of appropriations in any
reorganization, limiting their expen-.
diture to the purposes specified by
congress.

CALL RUSS REVOLT HUN FAKE
French Newspapers Say Reports of
MonarchaI Restoration Ena-
nate From Germany.

Washington, May Reports COM
ing from Finland through Copenhagen
that revolt in Petrograd had result
ed in the restoration Of the monarchy
emanated from Berlin, in the opinion
of French newspapers as given in an
official dispatch.
The French public is advised to ac-
cept the news with caution, since it
has not been substantiated by later
reports either from inland or Moscow
or by the allied ministers in Sweden.
"The French papers" said the dis
patch, receive with great reserve the
report sent out by German propaganda
that serious troubles appear to have
broken out in Petrograd. and that a
monarchial restoration is likely to
follow in favor of the former caro-
witch, Alexis Nikolaievitch. The Petit
Journal writes
Prudence should all the more be
followed in this matter, because it is
to the greatest interest of the Ger
mans that troubles should arise in
Petrograd to justify an Intervention
for which they are ready"

Overseas Force Now in Excess OF
500, O0o-Baker TO Ask 100000
More Draft Men.

Washington, May 2.-One million
American soldiers in France by July
/ is the goal the administration now
is striving to attain, with considerable
prospect of success. While it is not
permissible to state even the approx
mate strength of the American eXpe-
dictionary force, it is possible to say
that it far exceeds the 100000 Secre-
tary> Baker promised to have in
France early in 191S.'
Secretary Baker will appear before
the house military committee to pre-
sent the administration program for
increasing the army to meet the Ger
man drive. The exact form of his
recommendation. is not known, but
there are indications that he will not
confine himself to specific figures, ask
ing for blanket authority to raise all
the troops it is found possible to
clothe, equip and ship to France.
1t is known that war department of
Gals, through the survey of shipping
and supplies recently completed, have
been convinced that it will be possible
to handle at least 100000 men this
year, and that the number could be
considerably increased by straining
resources. 1t is therefore believed
that Mr.. Baker will indicate to the
house committee that an additional
million men will be modified if ou-
thority is granted.
A bill to limit the number of drafted
men in the army to 100000, with a
view to an army of not exceeding D.

maximum strength is necessary, was
introduced by Chairman Dent of the
