rupture of friendly relations between the war department and the commit tee on public information and which President Wilson himself was called upon to take a hand in settling.
 When the department began issuing casualty lists without addresses the committee. on public information re- fused to handle them on the ground that they were of no news value in that form. Since then the lists have been made public by the adjutant generals office direct. Army officials are inclined now, it is understood, to continue with the present arrange nent, holding that the committee went wholly out of it's proper field in re- fusing to handle the limited lists.
 Names of Regiments to Be Omitted.
 The department is now said to be convinced that the addresses can fur nish no information to the enemy even ii means to communicate them to Germany exists. and that even the to- tai number of casualties in any list tells nothing. The names are for warded by General Pershing in such form as to disguise completely the time and place where the losses re- ported were suffered. The department will continue to omit the names of regiments or other units to which the men were attached, this being regard ed as of possible military value.
 The question of publishing ad- dresses with casualties is known to have been fully discussed with Gen. eral Pershing but there was no in formation available tonight to show whether he had been oyerruled in the order to resume the old practice.

 IN AIRCRAFT PROGRAMME
Brought to the Floor of the Senate With Demands For Investigation

Washington, May 2-Charges and intimations of irregularities in connec- tion with the aircraft programme which have been published and dis cussed in capitol cloakrooms for some time were brought to the floor of the senate today with demands for a new investigation with a view to criminal prosecution.
 During the debate several members of the military committcc declared in favor of reopening the inquiry recent ly concluded by the committee, but Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, act ing chairman, said the committee was without power to deal with criminal prosecutions and that the department of justice should handle that phase Of the matter Later committeeman con ferred with Gutzon Borglum, the sculp- tor, who made a report to the presi- dent on the aircraft programme, and it was said that whether the commit tee would act depended upon infor- nation to be submitted by MT. Bor glum within the next few days.
 Senator Hitchcock, dwelling upon alleged misleading of the public re- garding aircraft production, told the senate that the aircraft beard has been playing a gigantic confidence game on the whole country He declared the Liberty motor in fact is nothing but the Packard motor improved, and that the government is contemplating paying the Packard Company between $5G0,OG0 and $1,000 900 for it's interests.

AN AMERICAN AVIATOR
 WINS THRILLING BATTLE
Lieut.. J. A. Meissner Brought Down Fourth German Airplane Along the American Front

With the American Army in France. May 2-(By The Associated Press). An American aviator has brought down the fourth German airplane along the American front northwest of Toul. Lieutenant James A. Meissner. whose home is Brooklyn. after T thrilling aerial battle at about 15.eO0 feet, shot down an Albatross scout. which fell in flames
 Lieutenant Meissner is twenty years of age and graduate of Cor nell. He came to France a few months ago and qualified as a pilot here.
 While he was protecting a photo graphing plane, a German machine came in view. The day was brilliant with sunshine. A French plane started for the German, but Meissner, who was flying high nearby in a speedy Nieuport chaser, made a dive for the Germans tail. When within range he opened fire with his ma chine gun and the German started a spiral nose dive. but after few sec onds straightened out and started back for Germany.
 Meissner followed so quickly when the German strengthened out that the latter's wing tore both of the under wings of AGeissner's machine but at the same time the young American roured deadly stream of, bullets into the enemy plane, which started smok- ing. Meissner kept up the fire until the German machine burst into flames and then crashed 10 the earth.
 The American nilot landed safely on his own side of the lines, but the Ger nian fell about a mile inside the Ger man lines to the south of Thiacourt

Washington, May 2.-Blanket au- thority for the president to increase the army to whatever size may be. necessary to win the war was pro- posed to the house military committee in executive session today by Secre- tary Baker, Major General March, Acting chief of staff, and Provost Marshal General Crowder. An ad- ministration measure amending the selective draft act to provide for this grant of power will be prepared inn mediately and prompt action on it asked.
 Secretary Baker told the committee it would be unwise to set any limit on the number of men who could be called to the colors and that the granting of complete discretionary authority to the president to increase the size of the army as rapidly as transportation and equipment facili- ties may warrant would have a great psychological effect on the enemy by showing how thoroughly the nation is throwing all it's resources into the conflict.
 The army appropriation bill this year, MT. Baker said. should provide for approximately 3,000000 men, in ciuding the nearly two million. now under arms, but this should not be accepted as any fixed limit to the number of men to be called within the year. Supplemental appropria . tions, he said, will be submitted as the army is increased.
 Action on the army appropriation
 bill had been deferred by the commit tee pending the return of the war sec retary from Europe when it could se-
 cure from him information as to the
 armys needs based upon the knowl-
 edge he gained during his inspection

ment to renew a conflict which threatens to be disastrous.
 The report that Czech soldiers, de- serting from the Austrian army, are now fighting with the Italians, has been followed by a despatch saying that Rumanians who had been cap tured by the Italians have asked per mission to fight against the Austrians and that they are now on the firing line.
 The British forces in Palestine have recaptured Es-Salt, a village from which they retired three weeks ago under pressure from a superior force of Turks and Germans.
 A Berlin report says that the fort ress of Sebastopol has been occupied by the Germans. This was expected after the capture of Simferopol last week.
 Ukrainian peasant deputies are re- ported to have overthrown the govern ment of that republic. This report follows closely a despatch saying that many Ukrainian officials had been inn prisoned by the Germans for conspir- ing against the military authorities ot the central powers. The new regime has announced that it will carry out the provisions of the Brest-Litovsl treaty.

Of the American expeditionary forces and his conferences with British, French and Italian officials
 Secretary Baker also outlined to the committee today the reasons why he opposes house amendments to tae senate resolution to change the basis of draft quota from state population
 to the number of men in class 1. un- der which states would be given cred
 it for men who have volunteered for
 service in the array and navy. He
 said such credits would be fair if the
 basis was to be state population but that they would not be pair with ths
 basis the number of men in class because then some states would have to furnish no draft men, while others would have to furnish a very high percentage.
 When the resolution to change the draft quota basis was before the house. President Wilson wrote Chair man Dent, of the military committee, supporting the volunteer credits plan. but he was represented today as hav- | ing changed his mind in view of the | inequity that would result. 1t is un- 1 derstood that he will write Chairman | Dent asking the house to recede from
 it's insistence on it's amendments. There were indications today that l an administration bill to grant uniifn- | tied power to the president to in-
 crease the size of the army will meet
 with opposition. Chairman Dent has
 not abandoned the bill he prepared without. consultation with the war de- partment which would limit the total number of men now drafted or to he hereafter drafted' to four million and he intimated today that he might | seek it's incorporation in the army appropriation bill
