WILSON FOOT STILL
DOWN ON INQUIRY

President Writes Another Letter to
Senate, Saying Chamberlain Resolu-
tion, Even as Amended, Is Still OBJ
noxious to Him.
Washington, May 1s-President Will
son today renewed his fight against
adoption by the senate of Senator
Chamberlain's resolution for a war IN
quiry by the senate military committee.
He advised Senator Thompson of Kan
sas that the resolution as amended
yesterday by the senate expenditures
committee still is Objectionable.
Considering all the circumstances,
President Wilson told Senator Thomp-
son, chairman Of the expenditures COM
mittee, the Chamberlain resolution, even
as modified, would in effect authorize a
"dragnet" investigation by the military
committee.
The president informed Senator Mar
tin Of Virginia, democratic leader, yes
terday, that the Chamberlain resolution
calling for an investigation OF aircraft
production and other war activities was
vote of lack OF confidence in the ad-
ministration and the expenditures COM
mittee amended it to eliminate all re-
ference to an investigation Of "the con-
duct Of the war"
I'VE are going to do all we can to
defeat the resolution, even as revised y
Senator Thompson said. after a con-
ference at the White House. "The
president authorized me to say that he
is just as much opposed to the amended
resolution as he was to the original"
Senator Thompson said he might Of
fer a substitute proposing to limit the
military committees inquiry to the
aircraft situation alone.

Former British Ambassador Believes
United Nation Will Arise.
London, May 15.-[Delayed.l AT a
dinner at the British Russian Club Of
London tonight the speaker urged the
necessity Of countering the efforts Of
Germany to gain ascendancy in Russia.
Sir George Buchanan late ambas-
sador to Russia, fervently hoped that
Russia would arise out OF the present
chaos and become once more a great
united country, allied to Great Britain.
1--WE must not despair" he said but
look ahead and wait patiently for the
hour of reaction. We must be prepared
for that moment and hold out helping
hand to Russia. If Germany is per-
mitted to control Russta's enormous
man power, natural resources and un-
explored wealth, she would become
mistress Of the east, and whatever con-
ditions we might impose upon her In
the west she would have wou the war

HUN SPIES CAPTURED.
Two Who Sought to Land With Case
ment Follower Under Arrest.

Two VINO Sou9nt 10 Lana WHIT SdSo-
ment Follower Under Arrest.
Dublin May 16.-Two Germans ac-
companied the associate Of Roger
Easement who recently attempted to
land in Ireland, and all three are now
supposed to be in London, probably
in the tower
The three men came ashore In col
lapsible boats from submarine. An
inkling Of the arrests resulted IN
spreading the story Of many German
officers succeeding in landing in the
south of Ireland. l have been authori-
tatively informed that there were only
these three, and they were nabbed be-
fore they were able to stretch their
legs on dry land.
In the present excited state OF the
populace wild rumors are soon exag-
gerated in the repeating. Authorities
are said to possess the information
that the more desperate Irish rebels
have been counting on help from Ger
many for some time.
The story has been circulated that
Germany would land men and arms
from big submarines to help the new
rising. In the rural districts Of Ire
land the presence of military forces IS
accounted for by the story that they
we're sent over to Illustrate the Ger
man landing. All manner of explana-
t,ons are invented for the most ordi-
nary events.
viscount French, the new lord lieu
tenant of Ireland, is still in London.
Pending his return. the nationalist
and Sim Fein press attack the ap-
pointment vigorously. The Nationalist
views him as n military dictator, and
sees the determination Of the govern
ment to bring Ireland under the heel
OF martial law, viewing the situation
with growing alarm.
The Unionist press welcomes French
as guarantee OF strong and hrm
government" The hierarchy opposi.
ton to conscription is bitter. In all
churches and cathedrals the people are
warned to get ready for the crisis and
put their houses in order to resist.

to Adopt Industrial War Plan.

Senator Cummins Urges Government
to Adopt Industrial War Plan.
Washington, May 16.-Speaking in
the senate today for his resolution
calling on government departments
for information as to the extent Of the
nations industrial manpower. Sena-
tor Cummins, Of Iowa, declared that
all energies OF the country must be
called into action if the war is to be
won.
MY proposition" he said, rs that
every able bodied man in the country
between the ages Of 1S and As, and
am not sure but that a few years
ought to be added to the latter limit
must work in useful way or fight.
This at least should be the policy until
we see clearly that there is surplus
of civil energy that can. be permitted
to go to waste in unnecessary labor or
lie dormant in idleness.
The resolution asks the department
to determine how many men can be
withdrawn from civil life for the army
without crippling industry, how many
engaged in non-essential tasks can be
transferred to more Important work,
and what legislation is needed to ac-
coniplish the trapsfer.

Days War Summary

Local fighting has died down
again in Flanders and Picardy and
only the guns are busy. The artil-
lcry fire continues strong all along
these fronts as we'll as on the
Arras front and is most violent
north of KENNEL and south Of the
Somme from Albert to Avre.
These sectors have been the
scenes Of all the recent fighting
and probably will see the strong
est enemy effort whenever the
Germans believe the time is op-
perfume to strike anew.
As on the western front the uIl
in northern Italy remains un-
broken, but with the expectations
that, as in France, heavy fighting
will break out soon.
