PRESIDENT |S AGAIN
 AFTER CHAMBERLAIN
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, April 22. - What promised to be a sensational fight in congress over the proposal to turn dis loyalty and espionage cases over to military courts martial. was nipped in the bud today by President Wilson. Champions of the plan abandoned it for the present, at least when Senator Overman of North Carolina. chairman of the judiciary committee, made pub lie letter from the president declar- ing unalterable opposition to the Chamberlain court martial bill as both unnecessary and unconstitutional.
 Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, au- thor of the measure, announced that in view of the presidents attitude he would not press the bill.
 Before the letter reached Senator Overman, Senator Brandegee of Con- necticut. republican. had brought the subject before the senate with a reso- lution instructing the judiciary com mittee to give formal opinion upon the legality of the bill which he-de nounced as unconstitutional and con- taining "heinous" proposals. The Con- snecticut senator declared his intention of calling the resolution up for a vote tomorrow and if he does there prob ably will be a lively discussion in spite of the fact that congressional leaders generally consider the Chamberlain bill dead.

Colodny, direc- tor of vocational training for Arizona.
 More than 25 joined the classes, and others were unable to find the place of meeting, but will be enrolled at later meetings. Preliminary radio and buZ- Ger work was done at this fret meeting and plans made for a thorough course of instruction
 More instructors are urgently needed, and MT. Colodny sends out a call to all who are familiar with the Interna : tional code. Such persons are urged to present themselves at Mir. Colodny's s office in the state house where they will be made familiar with the work the government wishes them to do in preparing these classes for actual field work.

 There are not enough skilled men in various branches in the United States to supply the needs of the army at this time.

 HISTORY, SAYS LAW
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre]

LONDON, April 22.-Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the eXchequer, ln introducing the budget in the house of commons today said it was the largest in the history of the world.
 His expectations as to the assistance given to the entente allies by the United States had been fulfilled. Not withstanding this assistance. the Brit ish loans to the allies in the last year were 505, 100000 pounds. The United States had advanced to all the allies $50, 100000 pounds.
 Tt is only necessary for us," said the chancellor, Ito lean on the United States to the amount the other allies lean on us. In other words We are self supporting"

 T have made certain suggestions re- garding advances to the allies" con- tinued the chancellor, which if adopted will lessen our burden considerably without in any way increasing the tota l obligation to the United States.
 Giving the figures of the revenue fol the last fiscal year, which amount t 707,234,565 pounds, a large increase over the preceding year, he said tha this was very gratifying, but the req test of the financial position woul' come when Britain ceased to rely ur0l borrowing.
 The additional taxation proposed said the chancellor, would in the ful year be equivalent to 65 per cent of tS ante bellum revenue from taxation.
 Mir. Bonar Law said Germany's dail, expenditure was 6,250,000 pounds, vfr tually the same as the British, but tn German total did not include Variou charges borne by the central govern ments here. The total German votes 0 credit amounted at the present time | 6,200, ,000,00O pounds.

 PRESIDENT BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The sen ate settled down today to finish fight on the bill proposing blanket authority for the president to re-organize gov ernment agencies in prosecuting the war
 "NO compromise was the word sent by President Wilson in letter to Senator Overman of North Carolina, sponsor of the measure. Debate was resumed by supporters of the admin istration while opponents demanding specific exemption of the interstate commerce commission and certain other permanent bureaus from changes prepared for further efforts to force amendments.
 In his letter to Senator Overman, the president said
 President for No Compromise
 q thank you with all my heart for standing by the bill which bears your name without any compromise of any kind"
 Senator OVerman afterward declared he would oppose any amendment of the pending measure and felt confi- dent of its passage with votes to spare. He conceded, however, that the vote on eXempting the interstate commerce commission and possibly other bureaus LAplii itS StopG Noulu pe NSI y Niooe' A canvass of the senate is i'll progress. Southerners Back Measure
 In tOday's debate Senators Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the commerce committee and Shields of Tennessee, a member of the judiciary committee which reported the bill, urged passage i of the measure as a means of central . | izing authority and speeding up war operations. They declared the presi- dent is responsible for the conduct ot the war and should be given necessary authority he asks.
 Senator Sherman of Illinois, repub- lican, criticizing the bill, insisted that what is needed more than additional powers is the proper exercise of pow CTS already in existence and selection of competent men to exercise such au- ! thority.

GERMANS CLAIM ID
 HAVE 165 SAMM|ES
[Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Ger mans claim to have captured 1S3 Amer jeans and to have killed and wounded many more, and so far there has been no official American answer to the claim. This situation will result in revival of consideration at the war department of the proposal that a daily statement be issued from the headquarters of the American expedi- tionary forces. The explanation here tOforc given of the refusal to accede to the proposal has been that American troops are part of and are co-perat- ing with larger French and British units and that an independent Ameri- can communique would necessarily duplicate British or French statements.
 Will Cause Anxiety
 lt is realized, however, that German claims. unless specifically denied from authoritative sources will be regarded as statements of fact with inevitable resulting anxiety to the people in this country. For that reason Secretary Baker is disposed to reopen the whole question with General Pershing. How ever it is possible that instead of daily statements on operations. arrange ments will be made whereby enemy claims of similar nature may be dealt with by the American commander.
 Daily Statement to Come
 It has been definitely decided that as soon as American forces in any con- siderable number are again acting as an independent unit, daily statement as to its activities will be issued.

GENERAL STRONG IS
 STRONG IN PRAISE
 OF DIVISION WORK
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, April 22.-"No regulars could do bet ter said Major General Frederick $. Strong. commander of the 10th di- vision. in his weekly review to The Associated Press today, speaking of the work done by the 18th infantry brigade in last weeks maneuYers- This brigade is composed of regiment each of Colorado and Arizona infantry and a New Mexico machine gun bat talion. The general also praised the work of the 160th California; infantry "They walked nearly as far as the men of the 79th," he said
 The field maneuver. the general said was the salient phase of the busiest week we have had" which was very successful"
 Fine Test of Division
 "The maneuver as a whole was fine test of the diyision,' the general de- clared. The 79th brigade made q wonderful march. much longer really than it measured on the map, because they had to do scout duty and keep out posts and flankers. There is no telling how many miles their scout troops did march, for they were going forward and coming back to their commands all tilt lliItP-
 "The march was through brushy country much of the way, especially ! for the scouts, while the umpired all agreed that a following wind, which carried a dust cloud right along with the marching column. added much to | its difficult task. The country was | rough all the way, and the results at | tained certainly show the splendid phy- sical condition of these men. They are , as hard as nails.
 The Spirit Shown Was Fine
 The thing that stands out, however | is the spirit of the division. The men 1 might come up, tired and hot, and an l officer would order them to reconnoitel a distant point. They could have gone at this work in a perfunctory way, but i they did go at it as if inspired, in a willing, cheerful way. To do a thing perfunctorily, because of an order. is | one thing; to really do all that 1t inn l plies is another.
 'Thc men were all on their toes
 ready for anything that came up. This | is a thing that gives us great satis- | faction. It makes us feel pretty good | "Of course, there are many technical criticisms to be made, m0.y critique> to be formed. We shall reach none oi ! these until next week. But it needs no technical discussion for us to al agree that the spirit and the physical condition of the men are excellent"
