Washington, May, 25.-William j.
Bryan took flat issue today with
President Wilson on the question OF
an American mandate over Armenia.
declaring in u statement that ANY
mandate is impossible"
The United States. Mr.. Bryan
said, could do more toward making
the world safe for democracy, even
for democracy In Armenia" by
recognizing the Armenian republic
and entering the league OF nations
''as the friend Of all little countries.
ANY mandate is impossible" Mr..
Bryan's statement said without other
preface.

war taxation is still so grevious a
burden that congress has difficulty
In finding the money necessary to
do justice to the men who served in
the world war.
TT would involve us in the politics
of Europe and would compel US to
deal with implacable race hatreds.
TT would involve us in the fierce
commercial rivalry of the big ma
tions.

pei us to surrender a vital principle
OF democracy. namely. that all people

st. Louis Engineer Points Out In.

By Associated Press,
st. Louis, May 25.-Support Of the
movement to revive inland waterway
transportation was advocated by u,
W. Shadek. local engineer, before
the convention of the American
Society Of Mechanical Engineers to-
day.
He advocated favorable tariffs,
more adequate appropriations from
congress- and encouragement of tho
water routes by furnishing them
with as much business as their pres
ent equipment can handle.
The development Of the Mississippi
valley Is at a standstill for lack of
adequate transportation facilities, Mr.
Shadek said.
In a'paper presented by Leslie H,
Allen. Of Springfield. Mass, a plan
Of cooperative housing was ad.
vocated in industrial centers.
The present housing shortage he
ascribed partly to low rents" and
also to the fact he said that in.
dustrial interests hesitate to launch
comprehensive building programs
thru fear OF financial panic or a
period Of depression.

Daniels Accuses
Admiral Fiske of
Being An Egotisl
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldteu IFcSS.
Washington, May 25.-The old con-
troversy between Secretary Daniels
and Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske
was revived today before the senate
committee investigating the navy's
conduct of the war. Chairman Hale
gave notice that Admiral Fiske would
be called to reply to charges made by
Mr.. Daniels under cross examination
by the chairman that the admiral had
sought to '.prussianize" the navy.
Secretary Daniels said he would in
sist upon an opportunity to appear
before the committee again after the
admiral had testified.
Replying to the chairman, Mr.. Darl-
iels said he had never paid much at
tention to Admiral Fiske's plan to
reorganizs the navy department in
1915.
He bored me to exhaustion" de-
clared Mr.. Daniels. He was a mon
umental egotist. He thought the Ger
man general staff system was The
best IN the world. and wrote me daily
urging me to approve its adoption.
His favorite Illustration Of the way
the system worked in Germany was
a story that when the Franco Prus-
sian war broke out, Moltke was
asleep. When told that war was de-
ciared, Moltke merely rolled over and
told his advisers to look in the top
drawer OF his desk and get the plans

Europe May Have
to Help Feed U. S.
Says MI. Hoover
BY Associated Press.

Washington, May 25.-Decrease in
agricultural production may result in
this country being dependent upon
overseas food supplies, Herbert Hoov-
er declared today in a letted to Rep
resentative Riddick, republican, OF
Montana. setting forth the former
food administrators views "as to
practical measures to insure better
returns to the farmer for his labor
and investment"
MIR. Hoover suggested the creation
of a commission composed of highly
trained farmers and skilled econom-
lists and financial experts to consider
the causes and remedies FOR the sit
uation.
Asserting that the present hign
prices of commodities will sooner or
later decrease" Mr.. Hoover said:
This deflation must not begin on
the farmer" Short production out
side the United States. wild extrav-
agance. and misuse of extended
credits for speculation and profiteer-
ing and non essential production are
contributing factors In the present
inflated prices, he wrote. When the
collapse occurs. he predicted, inter
mediate dealers will be able to pass
the greatest portion to the back of
the farmer, no matter how carefully
handled.
The burden of taxation is wrongly
distributed. Mr.. Hoover declared,
pointing out that the excess profits
tax Is an opportunity for food manu-
facturers and distributors to collect
taxes for the government by adding
them to the margin between the
farmer and the market.
"The whole marketing system in
many of our commodities is indi-
rect. expensive. wasteful. obsolete.
and Increases the margin unduly."
the letter continues.
Our manufacturing industries
have developed out of proportion with
our agriculture and labor is being
drawn in thousands from the farm
to the town at wages with which the
| farmer can not compete
A commission studying the whole
situation, Mr.. Hoover declared,
would deal with these things, and
that sane common sense with which
similar commissions of farmers met
the great economic problems of the
food administration during the war
with equal consideration for farmer,
distributor and consumer"

Treasury lootins.
BY Associated Press.
Washington. May 25.-More than
q hundred house republicans, all
supporting the soldier relief bill, to-
day threatened direct action" If
the leaders postpone consideration of
the measure later than Thursday,
This agreement was reached last
night at meeting OF the ''insur-
gents"
Senator Sherman. republican, of
Illinois, speaking today in the SEN
ate. denouced the proposed soldier
relief bill as a "disgraceful deteriora-
ton of patriotism of great country
II the impelling aim of the Ameri-
can Legion is to loot the federal
treasury" he said, ut is disgraceful
organization"
Senator Sherman declared that for
twenty years he had never allowed
the American Federation of Labor to
dictate to him and that he did not
intend to permit the American
Legion to do SO.
The attack was precipitated by a
telegram received by the senator
from an American Legion post in
quiring as to his attitude toward the
bill.
