SENATE PASSES
| OvERMAN BILL
Measure Is Given Approval in
Upper House by Decisive
Vote of So to 13.
RETAINS HIS POWERS
Amendments Designed to Limit Au-
thority of President in Reorgan-
izing Government Departments
Are Defeated.

Washington, May 1.-The Over
man bill, with its general grant OF
power for the president to co-ordin
ate and reorganize government de
partments and other agencies during
the war, was passed by the Senate
after all amendments to limit the
executive authority were defeated.
The vote on the measure, which
now goes to the house, was 60 to 10,
many senators who opposed the adj
ministration in the long fight over
proposed amendments joining the ma.
jority when the test came on final
passage.
One Democrat Against Bill.
Only one democrat, Senator Reed
of Missouri, voted against the bill
Republicans who voted against ii
were Brandegee, Cummin, Dillingham;,
France, Gallinger, Harding, Johnson
of California, Knox, Poindexter, Sher-
man, Sterling and Sutherland.
Republicans Sought Amendments.
Nearly all of the % Republicans
voting to pass the bill had before the
final roll call supported amendments
to circumscribe the presidents pow
er, generally, to war functions. Those
who continued their opposition to the
finish have based their attitude on
the argument that the bill confers
unnecessary autocratic powers upon
the president and is unconstitutional.

INDICATES EARLY CALL
Men in Class | Will Be Made
Available for Service at Once.
instructions Are Sent Out BY Adju
tant General Rhinow For An
Immediate Survey.

st. Paul, May 1.-Adjutant Gen
eral Rhinow, acting on instructions
from the war department at Washing
ton, has ordered an immediate sur
al men in Minnesota in Class
l under the selective draft law.
Identical instructions were sent to
every adjutant general in the coun-
try, dispatches from various cities in
dictated.
This order was interpreted by Min
neapolis draft officials to herald an
unparalleled induction. of men into the
army, perhaps call for all available
men in Class l. This opinion was
foreshadowed in Secretary Bakers
weekly war review, which declared
that the great battle now raging on
the western front had resolved itself
mo a question of man power and that
1t was the imperative duty of Am
erica to furnish the Allied reserve.
Every Minneapolis draft board is
busy compiling lists of men available
for immediate service.
Dispatches from Washington ssaid
there were indications that efforts
will be made to add 100000 to the
army at the earliest possible time,
supplementing the 100000 already
with the colors and 100000 previous
ly scheduled to be modified this year.
The result would be the necessity of
providing new funds for a force of
more than 5000. 900.

Don't Buy Too Biz a Bond.

Here is word of advice for the
farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite off
more than you can chew. Your gov
eminent doesn't want you to ''strap"
yourself or run into financial difficult
ties trying TO pay for bond. Buy one
small enough so you will be able to
pay for it in the, allotted time without
having to borrow money to meet the
obligation. Its value will represent
YOUR savings for that period Of time.
If your circumstances won't permit of
YOU purchasing $1,000 bond, buy on
ly q $500 one. Don't complicate our
already complicated financial problem
by assuming debt you can't pay.

DRAW PLAN TO
EXPEDITE DRAFT
Scheme for Expansion of Army
Is Prepared by President VIII
son and Cabinet.
CALL MEN AS NEEDED
Amendment to SeIective Service Law
is Desired Providing Executive
With Blanket Authority to In
crease Army.

washington, May IA surprise for
congress has been prepared by Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet with the
plan adopted for expansion of the
army.
1t is understood to have been de.
cided 10 request an amendment tn
the selective service law which will
provide the president with blanket
authority to make such increases as
the war situation may demand now
or at any future time.
The purpose in urging such broad
powers for the chief executive is to
avoid the dangerous delays caused by
lengthy discussions in Congress every
time such a measure comes up.
The point is made that Congress
will still have a cheek on the situa-
ton, as applications for equipment.
supplies and transportation must be
legislated for as each increase is
made
Depend On Ships.
Back Of the plan appears an unmis-
taxable purpose to limit American
participation only to the capacity of
overseas transportation facilities. in
the program for immediate increases,
the War department, with the coop
GRAFTON. Of the shipping board, is be-
lieved to have prepared another sur
prise. The number of troops which
can be transported across the Allan
tic within the next 80 days is said to
be greater than any official of the
government believed possible one
month ago
The only official statement obtain
able at the close of the cabinet meet
ing was that the plan Secretary of
War Baker will submit to the house
military affairs committee will be
President Wilson's plan. 1t is under
stood that immediate appropriations
for an increase of more than 1,OOO,-
600 men will be made.
Secretary Baker informed Chair
man Dent, of the committee. he
would be prepared to appear with all
details within the next 4S hours.
crowder Makes Request.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has requested Congress to elimi-
nate from the bill extending the draft
to youths now 81 years of age, the
putting at the bottom of
the eligible list those who would reg
lister under the measure and asked
that the bill basing draft quotas on
the number of men in Class 1 be.

troactive.

WOMEN TO THE FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the Lines Is Being Prose,
cuted on a Tremendous Scale
Every Woman Can Help
Do Something.
(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening

(sy ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening
Post.)
The day seems to have passed when
wOman's education consisted of piano
lessons and a little polite French.
Now she studies biology, psychology,
and all the other ologies. In this
great and radical change in the posi-
ton of woman it will not do to over
look the change in her relation to
money matters. 1t is no longer I'M
womanly to know something about
money. Feminine charm is not di-
minished by knowing the difference
between bond and share of stock.
Millions of women earn their living
today. Hundreds of thousands have
independent means and must decide
for themselves in hffairs financial.
More and more of the wives, mothers,
and sisters not only spend the house
hold money, but are consulted by the
men when an investment is to be
made. 1t matters not whether the
investment consists of a victrola, an
automobile, or bond. 1t is said men
do not take their wives into their con-
fidence when they gamble or take a
flyer, but it is also said that deception
in these matters does not pay.
So there is every material reason
why women should do their part and
more in floating the Liberty bonds.
Indeed a woman recognizes gold
dollar Just as quick as a man, and
when it pays good interest in addition
she is not going to turn it down. But
there is more than purely bust
ness and selfish side to the women of
this country. They have surprised
even themselves with their executive
ability and powers of business organ
ization. The Red Cross and every
other variety of relief work has been
in it's detail largely the result of
woman'S effort.
Behind the lines women are prose
cutting the war on tremendous scale.
There are MILLIONS of men as well as
women who cannot fight in the
trenches, who cannot even drive mo-
.tortrucks or work in munitiOn fac
tories. There are some people who can
not even successfully raise vegetable
garden, but there is not an adult man
or woman outside the poorhOuse and
the hospital who cannot either buy or
help TO sell a Liberty bond. 1t is the
least they can do.

MAKES GOOD RECORD
All Ninth District States Win
Honor Flags.
Every County Is Entitled to An EN-
blem and Also Nearly Every City,
Village and Township.

Minneapolis, May 1.-The Nintl
Federal Reserve district is believed
to have made records, in Liberty Loar
drive unequalled anywhere in the
country. Here they are:
Every one of the six states in
the district has earned the right
to an honor flag denoting over
subscription. \
Every county in each of the
six states has earned the. same
right.
4 Nearly every city, village and
township in the six states will
have earned the right to. the hon. :.
or flag when the reports are all
in, it is believed
Orders for 5000 honor flags have
already been sent to Washington. II
is believed by those in charge that
they will all be used.
Sufficient official reports are at
hand to make definite allotments OF
the honor flags to all the states. Min.
nesota, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan are
all entitled to state flags.
The unofficial figures indicated
that every single county was coming
through with clean record. The
official reports on the counties in the
six states showed oversubscriptions
as follows: Minnesota, Sc; Montana,
A; North Dakota, So; South DAKOTA,
SO; Wisconsin, 81; Michigan, Is. Cit
les, villages and towns in the various
states have been allotted flags as
follows: Minnesota s23; Montana,
176; North Dakota, S74; South Da-
kota, SEQ; Wisconsin, 1872; Michigan,
10.
\ AS the official reports come in the
number of the cities, villages and
towns entitled to honor flags will con-
tinue to grow, in the opinion of those
in charge. e

tracks everywhere. III!
A most welcome feature OF the
news is the announcement that the
French, in a crucial part of the line,
at Locre, have not lost any part of
their hold on this dominating ground.
They now have undisputed possession
of Locre itself for the first time in
