BILL
RATED TOO BROAD
Two Senators Oppose Legis-
Iating on Rent Profiteering
for the States.
WOULD LIMIT LAW TO D. C.

Opposition to the Poindexter anti
profiteering rent bill because it ap-
plies to the entire country and not
alone to the District of Columbia has
developed in the subcommittee of the
Senate judiciary committee in charge
of the measure. Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, and Senator Wolcott of Della
ware, members of the subcommittee
with Senator Poindexter. believe that
Congress cannot legislate along this
line for the states, but that the states
must care for profiteering in rents
other hand, insists that the proposed
law should apply to all places alike.
View of Senator Smith.
Senator Smith said last night that
it is his opinion Congress did not have
the power constitutionally to pass a
law such as proposed by Senator
Poindexter. He said that with the Dis
trict of Columbia Congress can deal,
since it is empowered to make all laws
for the District
The Poindexter bill would prohibit
increases in rent of houses. rooms,
apartments or hotel accommodations to
soldiers, sailors, civil employees of the
government or to persons engaged In
producing materials needed by the
United States for the prosecution of
the war beyond the rent charged De-
cember 81, 1917. 1t has been suggested
that the basis of rent be December 81,
1916, instead of 1917.
Subcommittee Soon to Report.
An effort was made to get the sub
committee together yesterday after
noon, but was unavailing. Senator
Smith said he would try to get a meet
ing of the committee early tomorrow
and, if possible, the subcommittee
would report the anti-profiteering bill
to the full committee at its meeting to-
morrow. He intimated that the sub
committee would. approve a measure
dealing with the District alone, though
possibly it might be extended to cover
the environment of the Army camps.
1t has been pointed out by Senator
Thomas of Colorado and others that
profiteering in rents on account of war
conditions is by no means confined to
the District of Columbia.

to regulate their distribution by eff

Hearing of the real estate brokers of
Washington on the Johnson so-called
anti-rent profiteering bill will be con-
tinued Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Although the real estate interests left
the office of Chairman johnson of the
House District committee yesterday ex-

testimony tomorrow, Chairman John

be no hearing tomorrow. He said he
would write to c. w. Fairfax, chairman

go into effect for at least five days after

bility is placed upon the President to
state publicly the scope of the regula-
| tions which are considered necessary.
The exact character of the regula-
tions which may be issued under such a
proclamation is then described in detail.
Complete control is given over public
eating places, and regulations are au-
thorized eliminating unnecessary use Of
essential foodstuffs by manufacturers of
food products.
Curtailment in Sugar.
Paragraph authorizes regulations
limiting the use of food in non essential
foodstuffs or feeds. 1t is necessary, for
instance. to curtail our consumption of
sugar about 10 percent during the COM
ing year. 1t is far better that this llml-
tation be made in manufacturing sweet
drinks and candy. rather than to have a
shortage for domestic consumption, a
Okcurred last fall.
"Paragraph D authorizes prohibition
of the use of foodstuffs or feeds for
other purposes than food or feed. Thus
sugar is wasted in the process of tanning
leather and flour is used unnecessarily
in the manufacture of paste where
other less valuable ingredients can be
substituted. Regulations may also be
issued under this paragraph limiting
or prohibiting the use of any material
or equipment necessary for the produc-
tion, manufacture or preservation OF
any foodstuff or feed for any other
purpose than such production. manu-
facture or preservation. Thus it may
be essential in order to assure an ade-

of the War Department requiring the
registration of the native males. It
is not yet determined whether the ma

merely fer industrial purposes. Reg
istrar Grimm, who has charge of the
enrollments, here, says the natives,
without exception, are all anxious to
be drafted and decline to ask for ex.
emptions. Several who have wives
were told that they could apply for
exemption on the ground of female
appendages but took much pains to
impress the official that their better
halves would be looked after by rela-
tives. 1t is expected that thirty or
forty will register in Nome by the end

Though Kerensky's credit in his
country Is low, and he Is denounced
by all parties as the author Of their
trouble, the Daily Chronicle remarks
that his drawing power is evidently
high in America, judging by the bait
thus thrown to him from the other
side of the Atlantic.
Kercnsky's retention here is warm
ly approved by those best acquainted
with his record. The charges against
him are thus summed up!
Kerensky is Of German extraction,
but took the name of his stepfather.
Before the revolution he was paci-
fist, and said he did not regard the
Germans as enemies. At great
meeting Of the Socialistic revolution
airy party he advocated immediate
roooo x,;fho,,f ,ppovo%iOno Uhou
minister of justice he issued decree
which destroyed the Russian armies,
robbed The allies Of victory last year
and is responsible for the deaths Of
several hundred thousand men. He
arranged a welcome for Lenine, Trot-
zky and Kamenoff, who he knew were
sent into Russia by Germany to spread
Bolshevism. He was closely associ-
ated with German spies, and especi-
ally with Staum, their head although
warned against them.
The German consul general at Ma
drid said publicly that under Kerensky
Russian generals were appointed by
the German general staff, That's why
Kerensky dismissed patriots like Kir-
niloff and Kaledines, whom he order
ed to courts, and after forbidding the
assembling of the duma, he abolished
it. He lived in great splendor at the
winter palace, from which he fed,
leaving the woman's Battalion of
Death" and the young cadets to be
killed by the Bolsheviki, as many
were.
The opinion is expressed that if the
allies have anything to do with man
who is loathed by all friends of order
in Russia, they will injure themselves
seriously in the eyes of the latter. A
Siberian Cossack said that if Keren-
sky appeared with the allied forces in
Siberia the Cossacks would fight
against such forces.

An army motorcyclist at one of the
training camps recently averted the
death of young lieutenant by a most
extraordinary feat of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
ut high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
a practice parachute jump of 1000
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him consider
able distance, and in landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled In the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown ut terrific
speed acress the field, pulling its help
less prisoner with 1t. At the same in
stant the cyclist, passing along near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle of the bellled parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight of the latter anchored the dere-
l.ct against further movement.

Dynamic Of Friendship.

II Is not n mark OF weakness, but
a natural and normal instinct to
crave the love Of ones fellows. We
must all OF us have our friendships,
for we are socially constituted. "One
man is no man." Every man needs
TO be constantly refreshed and In
spired by contact with the associates
Of the intellectual life, the comrades
Of the spirit. and should always keep
on hand some real friends, as dis
tinguished from mere chance ae-
quaintances. There must be at least
one in d hundred Of the people we
meet who is fitted TO be our brother.
When found, such a helpmate In In
tallectual things becomes dynamic
force for blessing in our lives. 1t is
easier to be good when such a friend
is with us--nor is such helper ever
really absent. We should locate our
friends, identify our afiinities, and
then love them ms we do ourselves

human brotherhood.

Fragmentary reports received at

Infested agricultural districts in SUIT

damage TO crops.
One Of the best methods of EXTERN

hoppers devour quickly. Burning of
the grass also is an effective means,
but the fire menace at this season
necessitates the exercise of greatest
caution.

eggs Of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.
The enforcement of laws for the
curbing of pests is vested In the coun-

cases where the menace to crops is
