INCREASE OF ARMY
LAST BIG MEASURE
Redraft Bill For Fifteen Million to
Go Before Committee OF
House Today.

WASHINGTON. May 5.--Congress
begins this week with interest CEN
tered upon the army increase pro-
gram, which furnishes probably the
last really big task to be disposed of
before adjournment planned for
about July l. A redraft OF the rec
ord-breaking army appropriation
bill carrying 100000 to provide
for an army of three million men
during the c6ming year Is to be laid
before the house military committee
tomorrow. War department heads
will appear to discuss the expansion
program and explain how the huge
sum of money is to be spent. The
plan of the administration to limit
the nations armed forces only by
the capacity for equipping, training
and transporting them is expected
to meet with opposition both in the
house"and the senate. but leaders
or both parties now believe the
blanket power will be granted.
While the house committee is
busy with the army program the
senate this week has a long list Of
appropriation bills and miscellane-
Gus matters TO act upon.

ROME Saturday May 4,-No
favorable occasion for further
peace move by Pope Benedict has
presented itself, nor does one seem
near, II was stated at the vatican to-
day when inquiry was made there
regarding the report that his holi-
ness would make a new peace offer

1T Is no secret" replied the Nati-
spondent inquired regarding the re-
port. that the pope since the begin
ming OF his pontificate. has inter-
ested himself regarding thtee great
issues concerning the war--first, to
maintain absolute impartiality; sec
ond, to limit as much as possible the
extent of the conflict and its hor-
rors; third. to work In every way, on
every propitious occasion, to restore
concord and brotherhood among the
peoples.
Given this program, il is only
natural that should a propitious oc-
casion arise the pope would do his
best to carry 1t out.
1T is an easy task to prophesy
from time to time, within a few
weeks. or months, some new action
on the part OF the pope which may
occur at any moment II favorable
occasion arises, which, however, has
not yet occurred, nor does 1t seem

AN ATI ANTIC PORT, May g.
fourteen persons, one a German.

more thorough examination.
The German, II was said. was
placed under guard by the quarter
master OF the ship soon after he had
boarded the vessel and, was not al,
lowed to appear on deck during the
voyage. In their search for con-
cealed documents the government
agents even broke two hollow canes
that he carried and also seized
phonograph records found in his
baggage.
Many papers found in possession
OF other passengers and members Of
the crew were confiscated. Even
customs officials were not permitted
TO carry ashore a passenger list and
all passpoi Is were given minute
scrutiny.
Names OF the persons detained and
the reasons for which they were held
were withheld. They will be given a
hearing by a special board of in
