BERLIN, Thursday, March 20 (by
the Associated Press).-The German
government. it is said, is disinclined

a meeting with the members of the

TO FREE 500 GERMANS
Department of Justice to Act in
Cases Of Those Who Only vio-
lated Regulations.

The Department of Justice is re-
leasing 500 Germans from the intern
ment camps in this country, it was
announced today. These interned Ger
mans, is was explained, are not con-
sidered dangerous to the country, and
were interned for infringement of
regulations and not. because Of any
efforts on their part to do injury to
the United States during the war. In
every case report was obtained from
the various intelligence services of
the government before an order was
issued for release.
About 2,100 so-called dangerous
Germans are in the internment camps
and will be kept there until the proc
lamation Of peace, or until they are
deported. Legislation for their de-
portation was initiated at the last
session of Congress. but failed Of
hnal action. Undoubtedly such legis-
lation will be attempted again when
the new Congress convenes.
Besides these Germans. there are
about 1900 German merchant seamen
interned. making some 1900 Germans

AMERICAS FOOD STORE

In an article written specially
for the editorial section of to-
morrow's Sunday Star David F.
Houston. Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. gives a comprehensive
survey of Americas food stores
and of the world food situation
generally.
1t is a striking exposition
of the enormous work accom-
plished by the American farmer
in response to the war appeal
for increased production. In
spite Of the scarcity and dear
ness Of farm labor and the high
cost Of all materials required BY
the farmer, there was a tremen-
dous increase in the acreage
planted and in the crops har-
vested. and the number of all
classes of farm animals has
been greatly augmented.
City workers who may feel
that they have borne the heavy
burdens Of the war should not
fail to read this authoritative
summary of what was done by
the agricultural interests.

The President is also keeping in
touch with the development of senti-
ment in the United States toward a

it is not unlikely that shortly after

Keeps in Touch by Gable.
PARIS. March 21 (by the Associ-
ated Press).-President Wilson is
keeping in close touch with his pri-
vate secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty,
and Secretary of the Treasury Glass
regarding the situation in which the
executive departments at. Washing
ton have been left as a result Of the
failure of Congress to act on several
of the great annual appropriation
bills. President Wilson has satisfied
himself that for the present at least
there is no imminent danger Of the
suspension Of any vital government
activities and already has authorized
measures to meet emergencies that
have arisen.

RETURN Of PRESIDENT
EXPECTED TO Be SOON

That President Wilson will return
ably earlier date than was originally
thought possible was the opinion ex-
pressed by officials at the White
House today. When the President left
here it was the understanding that
he probably would not be back until
June /. Today it was said that there
was likelihood of his returning by
May l.
Once the President has accomplished
what he set out to do, it is expected
that he will not delay his return. 1t
was confidently predicted that his
program would be accepted in Paris
No word has yet been received an

Congress. it was said. The belief pre-
walls. however. that the President will
call special session of Congress to
meet soon after his return The call
may be issued in Europe, after the
date of his return has practically
been settled.
Early Congress Session Expected.
Members of Congress still in Washing
ton today expressed their pleasure over
the report from Paris that the President
would call an early extra session Of the
Congress. The belief mere IL that the
date fixed for the session will not be
later than May IS.
Both democratic and republican lead
ers agreed today that the sooner Con-
gress is called in extra session the
better il would be. The failure Of half
a dozen of the big supply bills and the
needs Of the government departments
make it imperative. they said.
II am glad the President is going
to do it," said Speaker Clark. The
quicker the better. in my opinion"
Mr.. Mondell Gratiaed.
Representative Mondell OF Wyom-
ing. who has been selected by the

House as floor leader, said: Il am
glad to know that the President an
ticipa;es calling an early extra ses-
sion and that he has apparently
reached some definite conclusion
about it. ! hope. however. that he
will call 1t before the middle of

REPLY DUE TOMORROW

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 21.-Hope was ex-
pressed tonight in peace conference
circles that by the first of next week a
plan would be presented which would
surmount the difficulty in the way of
completion of the peace making work
of the conference raised by the threat
of Italy to withhold approval Of any
peace treaty not definitely settling the
Italian -Jugoslav controversy.
President Wilson has the whole
question before him, and it is from
him that the plan upon which hope of
a satisfactory settlement is based is
looked for.

taken as unit, amounting virtually

Doubt as to Future Action.

That is the skeleton situation as re-
CARDS the republican organization of
the next House. With Representative
Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts,,
nominated by the caucus for Speaker
after defeating Mr.. Mann, there is
doubt in the minds of many whether
the Gillett following uniting with the
progressive element in the new House
will seek to- overtYrn the work of the
Mann following which gained control
Of the committee on committees by a
coup and after a bitter fight in the
last republican caucus:
Those who are privileged to attend
the inner-sanctuary conferences with
either the Gillett or the Mann follow
ing-that is, the real leaders in the
House-are agreed that there must be
no party split and that the republican
House must stand united with faces
turned to the 1920 campaign as the
big objective. With this vision they
say that there will be no row in the
republican caucus over the report of
the committee on committees. as it
covers the selection of the standing
committees.

ton the Monroe doctrine. it is tacitly

on such lines. feeling that 1t would

for some declaration in the spirit of

Because of President Wilson'S desire

What the so-called progressives

by the Mann following, is . matter of
considerable speculation about the Cap
iteI and Of big interest to the entire

Two Distinct Revolts.
There have been two distinct revolts
within the committee on committees,
which have been misunderstood by
many to be part of the same pro-
gressive moment: One by Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, di-
rected principally against Representa-
tive Mann as a dominating influence; !;
the other led by Representative Royal
Johnson of South Dakota. demanding
recognition especially for the west,
also for the south and for labor on
the steering committee.
The action of the committee on COM
mittees is not final; it must be re-
viewed and approved by the repub-
lican caucus which is to meet just
before Congress convenes.

Baron Maxine, the head of the Jap

CROP ESTIMATE
SHOWS POTATO
HARVEST SMALL
Early Frost Damaged Me-
braska Supply, But Aver
age Is Better Than
Expected.

Frank S. Pinney of the federal
bureau of crop estimates, Council
Bluffs, was authorized by the fed
eral department to issue yesterday
a statement concerning the condi-
ton of the potato crop in the entire
country on October Is. The depart
ment will issue a special CONNER
cial potato report on November l
and it will contain estimates of the
crop that will be available for mar
ket, grading Nos. l and 2 and culls.
The estimate yesterday shows that
the general potato situation is more
unsatisfactory than it has been for
several years. In all of the New
England states, as we'll as New
York, Ohio and Michigan, the crop
was nearest to normal, but bad
weather conditions in October pro-
duced rot. Michigan shows the best
condition, indicating a commercial
crop of 20 per cent of normal Car
shortage is interfering with market
ing.
Iowa is not classed as CONNER
cial potato state, but the report in
dicates that small surplus of mar
ketable spuds may come from Mitch
ell county, the banner potato
county of the state. There will be
little stock to ship outside the state,
however. Omaha and Council Bluffs
markets will have to depend almost
wholly on Nebraska, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Colorado and Idaho.
The federal report for Nebraska
says: -
above zero on October 10 are re-
ported to have injured as high as
Is per cent of the potatoes in GER
tain fields that were not harvested.
Inasmuch as the large bulk Of the
potatoes were harvested at that time
the total damage may not exceed S
per cent. Harvesting is practically
complete at this time. 1t appears
that the yield will average better
than expected and the total ship
ments will probably exceed the Oc-
tober ! estimate of 2,574 cars. in
spite of the loss from the freeze of
