Significant Statement Of Assistant
Secretary Of Wa-EnIistments Re-
ported to Be Brisk-Former Com
manders to Be Reinstated.
[By the Associated Pressl

Moscow, April Russia will form
an army of 100000, not inferior in
power and equipment to the Japanese
and Geymans, Mr.. Podvosky, assistant
secretary Of war, declared today at a
conference in Moscow Of the various
military department heads.
This would be the first step in arm
ing the whole Russian nation. He said
the army organization was impossible
without the old officers and outlined
measure to enlist the service Of all
geherals and publishing all names,
giving citizens the right to state OBJ
jections to any one.
M. Podvosky reported progress in
enlistments in the Red Army. Since
the beginning of the army organization
two weeks ago, 11,000 have enlisted in
Moscow and have been properly
equipped. Many other cities report
rapid recruiting.
Ukrainians Propose Peace.
! Peace has been proposed to the boil
sheviki by the Ukrainian rada. the
non -bolshexiki element, it is reported
here. II Is pointed out, that the changes
regarding peace are greater since the
German offer Of territory in Ukraine
presents an understanding for negotia-
tions.
1t seems that the rada IS willing to
make concessions and to modify its
original demands, which included part
of the governments of Khrsk and
Voronegh.
The peace question is complicated by
the existence of -bolshetiki Ukrainian
rada, which at present is at Taganrog,
1t having fed from Kiev. The foreign
minister Of this government arrived
recently In Moscow in connection with
the impending negotiations.

SENATE VOTES WAR BILLIONS.
Authorizes tho Issue Of $4,500, 900 900
More Liberty Bonds.

Washington, April Ain record
breaking time the senate late yester-
day passed the new liberty loan bill,
authorizing $4,5o0,O0o,OO0 more war
bonds, additional loans of $1,50O, ,00O,-
900 to the allies and increase of treas
ury Indebtedness certificates from
$4,000. .oo0, 900 to $4,000, 900, 600.
The measure already has been
passed by the house. and slight dif-
ferences may be adjusted In confer
ence. It is possible, however, that the
house will accept minor amendments
and make a conference unnecessary
AS approved by the senate without a
roll call and after less than an our's
perfunctory debate, all important
provisions Of the house measure were
retained.
(; All congressional leaders agree that
the bill must be law before the new
liberty loan campaign begins Satur-
day, and it is hoped to send the
measure to the president tomorrow.
During debate Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee said that with
enactment of the bond legislation all
treasury needs could be met this year
and that further war revenue lesisla-
ton would not be Necessary until the
session Of congress next December.
Similar viws recently were expressed
by Democratic Leader Kitchin Of the
house.
Should the war continue for lone
period, and it should become neces-
sary to send 100000 or 100000 men
across the seas. Senator Simmons said
the expense Of the government OF
course would be increased, and there
would have to be some increase in
taxes.
During his explanation of the pro-
visions of the bill Senator Simmons
also told the senate that Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo felt that it will
be unnecessary to increase the future
interest rate on bonds.
Replying to question by Senator
Lewis. Of Illinois. he said there was
nothing in the measure to prevent the
allies from spending money loaned
them outside OF the United States II
that should be shown to be necessary
To avoid, delay the senator struck
out the clause which caused the house
to recall and. readjust the bill pro-
llibiting banks from using bonds to
,evade state taxation.
