 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 28.- During the discussion in the senate today upon the adoption of legisla- tion which will inject more life into the governments preparations for war. and it's program for the con- duct of the war. Senator Overman, of North Carolina, charged that Ger man spies are almost entirely re- sponsible for the country's failure to keep up it's aerial program as was originally proposed. He charged that there are spies even now work ing in the Curtis plant. which has large government contracts.
 He declared that spy activities are the worst curse of the country to- day and that their activities are not growing less, but rather being extended with the length of time. He asserted that the governments leniency in dealing with enemy agents in allowing them to be tried in civil courts. and assessing fines and light sentences of imprisonment against them had not served to warn them. This leniency, he declared, has been mistaken for weakness. and kindness misjudged for faint heartedness. The time has come for drastic steps to crush this menace, he said.
 Senator Williams, of Mississippi. following Senator Overman, grilled so-called loyal Americans who are directing their efforts toward the em- barrassment of the country and giv- ing encouragement to the spies of the enemy by their actions and ut terances. He fayed Senator LaFol-. lette and told the senate that LaFol. lette should be expelled and that the senate would fail in it's duty unless he was impeached.
 That other ally of the kaiser which Wisconsin has contributed also." said Senator Williams, "the Socialist candidate for senator from Wisconsin, Victor Berger. should be interned until the end of the war"
 The policy pursued by these men and others of their type, said MT. Williams, tend largely to encourage the enemy both at home and abroad. and they should be deprived of all power to work harm to America.

LONDON. Mar. 2S.-The core, spondent of the Daily Mail, wiring his paper from the front, says that the German casualties during the first seven days of the great of fensive are estimated at 300,000 in all. Many of these were killed by the deadly fire of the British ma. chine gun units and rifiemen. who could not miss the target offered by the densely packed. close moving in. fantry as 1t made hundreds of charg es against strong British positions.
 The British losses, says the COT respondent. have been small in com parison with those of the enemy. The British system of defense as utilized by General Haig has pre- vented excessive losses, which is said to be the main reason for Its adoption.

CERMANY'SHICH
 COST OF LIVING

WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 2S.- Figures published by the department of labor today show that the cost of living in Germany has increased since the beginning of the war to two hundred and in some sections of the empire to three hundred per cent. On the other hand. during the same time the schedules of wages and salaries have only ad vanced fifty per cent.
 These figures are as nearly ac curate as can be obtained under the present conditions, and show the real basis for dissatisfaction which is prevalent among the laboring classes throughout the country.

 PARIS. Mar. 28.-During the pres ent German attack a large number of German prisoners have been cap- tured wearing the complete uniform of the British infantry and other branches of the service. These pris. oners have been executed as poten- tial spies.
 It is believed that they were cloth ed in the British uniform in order to create confusion and thus aid in breaking up the British defense. Short shrift has been shown in deal ing with these soldiers, who are, of course, classified as spies when cap tured inside allied lines wearing the uniform of any of the allied armies.
