SPEND TWO BILLIONS
DURING MONTH OF MAY

admins tration to show the necessity
for a bill but how to raise money and
what taxes are to be levied come
clearly within the jurisdiction Of the
ways and means committee, and the
house of representative" said Kitchiu
today.
Ktchin is also determined to tax
war profits and incomes to the limit
and has let it be known that many
of the men he wants to pay up
are holding fat war contracts.
McAdoo is known to have num-
Der of ideas on what new tax bill
should contain and it is certain he
will insist that some of them be
written into the bill.
According to figures being pre-
pared by McAdoo, internal revenues
due June Is, are expected to exceed
$4,000, ,0O0,O 900. At the present rate of
the increase in war expenditures
that sum will last only until about
August L Then every department of
the government will begin eating
tremendous chunks out of the third
Liberty loan.
Meanwhile interest in the nations
public debts mounts higher. Since
the United States entered the war,
the interest has grown to the as
founding total of S92 1000 900. The
interest for May alone win aggregate
more than $4O.00o,000. To date this
government has loaned to seven of
our associates in the war total Of

WASHINGTON, May 23.-All men
subject to draft must "do a mans
| work or fight"
This rule, operative July first, pro-
vides that all loafers and men not In
useful occupations listed in deferred
draft classes must engage in useful
war work or be drafted into the fight
ing service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announced today the plan for this new
system. 1t will seize at once upon
gamblers, race track men, waiterss bar
tenders, club. hotel and apartment at
tendants, persons engaged or occupied
in games, sports and amnsements
with some exceptions): domestic
servants. sales and other clerks OF do
partment stores and mercantile estab-
lishln ents.
Dependency exemptions win not
protect men thus classified.
Local boards will conduct the weed
ing out process. They are empowered
to summon before them idlers and the
non-essential workers listed above.
give them chance to explain their
pursuance of no useful war occupation
and if they fail, draft them into the
army.
Strictly enforced, the new regula-
ton would practically break up profes-
sional baseball, officials admitted. as
sports is one of the classes from
which the players now granted de-
tendency exemption are barred.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
declined, however. to give specific
ruling as to whether the order af-
fects baseball until case has been
presented to him by a local board or
until Secretary Baker has made a
statement of policy thereon. Other
war department legal experts said the
order could not be construed otherwise
than as taking draft age ball players.
Secretary Baker was not available as
he was testifying before the house ap-
preparations committee.
The plan, however, is framed so
that practically all of the men thus
shifted or sent into the army can be
replaced by women.
Besides the idlers, the following
classes of livelihood were named by
General Crowder as being closed to
draft registrants after July 1:
(a)-Gamblers of all types. en-
ployes and attendants Of bucket shops
and race tracks, fortune tellers. clair
yoyants. palmists and the like;
(b)-Persons engaged in the serv-
ing of food or drink in public places,
including hotels and social clubs.
(c)-Passenger elevator operators
and attendants, doormen, footmen and
other attendants Of clubs, hotels.

NEW YORK, May 23.-A new agi
tation to attempt to persuade the al
lies to send a military expedition into
Siberia is gathering headway.
1t shows evidence of being due pri
marily to a desire to discredit the Bol
sheviki and drive them from power
A strong force sent into Siberia to
oyerpower the Bolsheviki might pos
sfbly be successful in causing a re
action against Trotsky and Lenine IN
Moscow and Petrograd, but there is
no certainty as to this result. The
two leaders of the BolsheviR have sue
cessfully withstood far more serious
developments much nearer home.
Even with Trotsky and Lenine over
thrown, there is no guarantee that
their successors would be able to car.
ry Russia back into the war which
would be the dominant objective of an
allied military movement in Siberia.
On the contrary, even more radical
and less experienced men might Sc
cure control Of Russia's affairs and
Russia in her perplexity might throw
herself unreservedly into Germany's s
arms.
The one basic fact IN the situation
is that if the Russian people really
desire to ally themselves with Ger
many. no army sent into Siberia can
preyent them Russia is too big and
Germany is too near for that. The
Russians are now anti-German be
canst, German militarism has fixed up
on a policy of ruthless suzerainty over
the Slavs. But, if the allies engage
ir a Siberian military demonstration
there is every reason to expect that
Russian agftators will charge that the
western democratic nations are as i'm
periaifstfc as Germany.

LAST CHAPTER
 OF KRAUSE IN
 PLUNKETT WILL

About the last chapter in the fa- nous Krause murder case was closed by the settling of the estate of James Plunkett, one of his victims, chiefly concerning the gas boat Lou, in the United States Commissioners court. In a will the boat was left to Thomas K. Smith, who recently sold it and will soon leave for the outside to enlist in the merchant marine
 MT. Smith and Plunkett were part ners. Whether Krause killed Plunkett on the Lou, after hiring Plunkett to take him for trip, or whether Plunkett was killed on Krause's boat, was never made quite clear When Plunkett was missed, came the search for his boat, the arrest of Krause in Seattle, the discovery of the dory from the Lou tied to Sing Lees float at Pet ersburg, and finally the missing launch in Duncan Canal, near an old mine worked by Krause.

RECENT SPEECH BY
 PREMIER LEVINE ON
 RUSSIAN SITUATION

KAREN, Manchuria, Aug. 1.- Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-Russia is powerless to take any part in the impending conflict of Allied and German affairs in the Murman district, according to the version of a recent speech by Pre- mier Lenine which has been re- ceived here. .
 "The English and French bour- geoise have spent enormous sums on Murman and of course with mercen- ary purpose" asserted Lenine.
 "They have landed troops to pro- tect the Murman coast. We had no proper forces to prevent this. The German government demands that they be disarmed, telling us that if we cannot defend ourselves they will carry on the war in our terri tory"
 Referring to the Ukraine, Lenine claimed that the Germans were met everywhere with desperate resist ance.
 ITO the Caucasus" Lenine points out. "the Soviet sent inquiries re- garding the new frontiers which the Caucasion Government laid claim to, but received no answer" {"
 We are not a great power Of Russia nothing is left but Great Russia. For us the interests of uni versal socialism are higher than national interests. For us, little down-trodden Great Britain stands far higher than that stupendous great power which sold itself to
