to arrange for joint session in the
house
There was no official announcement
of the presidents subject but it soon
became known that he would outline
the situation in regard to new war
revenue legislation and the necessity Of
considering it without waiting for the
regular session in December.
g. The presidents decision was gen.
orally construed as meaning that he
was in full accord with Secretary Nc
Adoo, who has been pressing imne-
date work on the legislation, in oppo-
sition to party leaders in congress who
have wanted to wait
Secretary McAdoo's reasons for imme-
date legislation, which are believed to
have impressed the president, are that
passage of the new war tax laws now
win inform the country and business
of the payments it will have to make
next spring and give time to prepare
to make them. and that it will stabilize
the Liberty Bond market for the next
issue in the fall.
Party leaders in congress-, including
the Democratic whips, disagree strong
ly with these views and have yielded
to the pressure for immediate consider
alton of the legislation only because 1t
came from the treasury department, os-
tensibly with the backing OF the White
House.

AMERICANS SENT
TO ITALY HELP IN
BOOSTING MORALE
Secretary Baker Announces
Our Troops Will Soon Be
Sent 0ver-WiII Assist in
NonmiIitay Way

WASHINGTON, May 2E.-American
man-pOwer is aiding Italy now-along
non-military lines. This fact can be
published today after Secretary OF War
Bakers announcement in New York
that soon American infantrymen. ma
chine gunners and artillerymen would
be side by side with the Italians.
The non-military tasks performed by
Americans in Italy today are mainly in
assisting the natives to produce larger
crops. Unframed in intensive agricuI-
ture the Italians have failed to get the
maximum from their soil, so Amer
cans were put in to help teach them
the vital lessons which would help them
produce more homegrown food and thus
save transport
Injection of American forces into the
Italian lines is intended TO strengthen
the Italian morale. Germany is again
putting forth the insidious propaganda
wherewith she sought last fall to dis
integrate the Italians before she smash
ed them back.
Austria has directed peace feelers at
Italy and these overtures have been re-
jected.
Addition of American military units
is intended to inspire the Italians with
the thought that the greatest democ-
racy. America, is in the fight supporting
her and that we are in to the finish.
Italy has sufficient man-power OF her
own. In fact, so sufficient is this man
power that Italian units have been
spared for service on the west front.
Hence the sending of Americans is
from a strictly military
viewpoint but the morale effect is deem
ed to be tremendous.
The problem of supply of coal aud
wheat to Italy. according to entente
sources, was a difficult one recently, but
it is being fully met and Italy is now
adequately aided.
The question of sending troops has
been under discussion for some time.
Secretary Baker imposed confidence on
the press as to the affair but made the
himeslf in New York
last night at an Italian war anniver-
sarv meeting. The infiltration of Amer
leans will probably not be extensive,
vet sufficient to tone up the Italians.

GOVERNOR URGES NEGROES
NOT TO SHIELD CRIMINALS
Replying to CoIored Welfare
League Declares Co-opera-
ton Will Stop LynChingS

In reply to resolutions adopted by
the Colored Welfare league of Augusta
IN which they denounce the lynching
or negroes at Valdosta and call on him
for similar expression and for the
exercise of all his power to bring the
lynchers to justice, Governor Hugh M
Dorsey has issued a statement direct
ing attention TO the fact that while the
league condemns the lynching it makes
no mention of the heinous crimes which
provoked the lynching.
The governor agrees with the league
that the courts are created for the equal
administration of justice, and declares
his purpose to enforce the law impair
TALLY and to aid in the punishment of
offenders against the law.
In considering the resolutions, how
ever, he is Impressed by an omission
which may be regarded as significant in
the absence of explanation" This omis-
sion consists in the fact that the resolu-
tions while deploring the act of those
citizens who participated in the lynch
ing, are silent concerning the unspeak-
able offense apparently committed by
members of your race"
The governor then goes on to express
the strong conviction that enlightened
and self-respecting members of the ne
gro race must certainly share with all
other races "a natural and human alb
horrence of the particular crime which
has been primarily responsible for this
and many other lynchings." Then he
makes this statement TO the league:
Whenever the law-abiding element
of the negro race shall convince the
lawless among them that such crimes
will not be tolerated anywhere, and that
the guilty parties will not be sheltered
or shielded, but will be delivered up
to the officers of the law, such unspeak-
able crimes as those which recently
shocked the state will no longer STIR
race prejudice and resentment beyond
immediate control"
The governor in conclusion says ne
is confident that the failure to incor-
porate this doctrine in your resolutions
was inadvertent," and calls attention
TO the fact that before the resolutions
reached him he had already offered
reward for the Apprehension OF those
who participated in the lynchlng ana
had ordered the troops to the disturbed
community to restore law and order.

Thirteen Hun Sailors
Executed at Ostend

AMSTERDAM, May 25.-Fffteen Ger
man sailors were tried at Ostend IN
connection with the British naval op-
erations which resulted in the blocking
of Ostend and Zeebrugge harbors, &C
cording to reports from Bruges brought
here today by fishermen.
Thirteen of the sailors were execut-
ed. The other two were sentenced to 20
vars Imprisonment.
The sailors executed probably were
among those on guard at Zeebrugge and
Ostend when the British made their dar-
ing raids. The element of surprise fig
ured largely in the operations, part1cu-
larly in the last one at Ostend.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Charges
that the administration has used it's
powers to stifle honest criticism, while
at the same time condoning anti-ally

dore Roosevelt today in a reply to Post
master General Burleson in their con-
troversy over the postofice depart
ment's treatment of publications
The charges were presented to the
senate by Senator Poindexter. of Wash

Colonel Roosevelt declared President
Wilson personally was responsible for
the postmaster generals attitude. The
Hearst papers, he said are among those
that have received favored treatment.
Since the war began" said Colonel
Roosevelt the administration has used
the very great war powers of the gov
eminent over the public press to stifle
honest criticism of government ineffi-
cheney, of misconduct, while condoning
(which necessarily means encouraging
pro-German, anti-ally, and their anti
American agitation ia certain powerful
papers which defended this inefficiency
and misconduct, and it has sought from
congress a great addition to the al
ready existing power it has thus mis-
used. / believe that the first article
of the constitution guarantees the right
of the people to criticise truthfulIy the
conduct of their public servants and
that this right cannot be taken away
by any law.
During the past year. the action of
the administration, taken largely
through the postoftice department, has
been such as to render it a matter of
some danger for any man, and especially
