Dry Alliance Feared
With townsend Plan

drys id widely separated sections
today iaroused widespread inter.
est ana CONSERVATION among pol.
iticianS here.
The dryS and the Townsend.
ties. several Congressman report.
ed. are working together in the
battle TO elect members Of Con.
gress next year.
F. Scott Mcbride, superintend.
ent of the Anti-Saloon League of
America, while conceding that
the same people may be backing
both the dry cause and the Town
send plan. emphatically denied
that there is any tie-up.
"Autpmatic," Says Rep. Main
In both New England and the
Middlet West, some members of
Congress say. the leaders Of the
Townsend movement are people
schoolet in the long fight Of or.
gained drys for local and ma
tional prohibition. One member
said: :
81 don't know whether there
Is q te-up. 1t is a fact, how.
ever, in my district that the
leaders Of both movements are
the same"
Representative Main CR) of
Michigkn, who was swept into Of
flee on a Townsend ticket, con-
coded that there was an alliance
in his fight. He said:
81 don't think it was done
consciously, but automatically.
I choose to consider my district
. dry district and the SO-calIed
hOOkup was by accident and
not BY design"
Mr.. Mcbride said that national
dry organizations have taken no
action on the Townsend plan. He
explained:
at Is true that some Of the
methods Of the TOwnsendites
are patterned after our meth.
DDS. THAT is, they seek to
elect members Of Congress on
the predominant issue. But we
have no patent on the plan.
The farm bloc also uses IT,"
In many places, Mr.. Mcbride
said, churches are used for Town
send meetings,
Unless the strength Of the two
movements is overrated, politi-
clans agreed that q union Of the
forces might result in upsets in
scores of congressional districts.

ITALIAN LINES

. CONTINUED from Page II
approximately 100 miles west of
Makale, the Ethiopians pushed
their drive steadily eastward. The
Italian front line, which several
weeks ago was as far south as the
Takkaze River for several hun
bred miles, now apparently has
been driven back, so miles and
more.
The Philippians have claimed
major victories in these northern
engagements, and today's official
claim indicated the Italians have
been forced to retreat for their
own protection against the Eth
opian thruSts.
Previously the Italians had
pushed small detachments far
southwark, meeting no opposition,
but with the Ethiopian offensive
apparently have been compelled
to withdraw these fingers" to
masSed, defensive positions.
Rains Have Started
A heavy thunderstorm broke
over Adds Ababa today and equal
ly heavy ranis were reported over
q large portion Of Ethiopia. The
"lttle rains" have set ina pre-
lude to the big rains due in three
monthS-and will be an aid to the
light-footed Ethiopian forces and
a hindrance to the heavy, mechan-
lied italian machine.
Travellers from DeSSye, where
the Enperor's army headquarters
are, said the road is in almost i'm
passible condition, and the rivers
are swollen and soon will be i'm
possible to ford.
One caravan made only three
miles in IL hours.

ORDER FOR RIFLES
Testimony revealed that from
February to September, 1915,
Britain placed orders with Amer.

rifles, with a face value Of $194..
600, 900. approximately $50, 900 900

''binder" for completion Of the
contracts.
The bulk Of the orders went to

and the Remington Arms Com.
pany. More than 900, 900. of the
rifles were consigned to Russia.
The Morgan firm handled all
Of these orders. The committee

fill these orders, but finally did so.
Forced War, Says Nye
It was just such entanglins
operations as these, cOntended

commitments, eventually drew the
nation into the foreign war.

BLOC PLANS
CAUCUS
House Group to Map
Fight in Face Of
Court Ruling

In the face Of opinions that the
Supreme Court decision on the
AAA dooms the Townsend old
age pension plan, q caucus Of the
Townsend bloc" in the House to-
day was called for tomorrow
night.
Senator Carey CR), of Wyo-
ming, asserted that the high
courts decision shows plainly
that Congress lacks the power to
put the $200-a-month old age pen
sion plan with its transaction
tax on the statute books.
Representative McGroarty CD,
Of California, author Of the
Townsend plan bill, however, re-
fused to admit that the plan is
outside the pale of the law. He
insisted that the fight would be
carried on.
DR.. F. E. Townsend, sponsor of
the plan, will attend the House
caucus. Representative McGroarty
said:
1--WE plan to talk over STRAIT
egg. We are going to keep up
our fight this session"

The international banking house
Of J. P. Morgan helped enmesh
America in a net Of munitions
traffic with the allies, the commit
tee charged today.
Pointing to the fact that the
House Of Morgan, acting as the
fiscal agent in this country for
Great Britain, bought millions Of
dollars worth Of guns and amnlu-
milton, the committee experts con-
tended that this net grew ever
larger, and was an important fac
tor in drawing the United States
into the war.
Disclosing records of the gun
transactions Of 90 years ago, the
committee investigator, Stephen
Raushenbush, argued that these
showed the Morgan firm using ell
its persuasive powers to bring an
enormous expansion Of munitions
manufacture In this country.
Lamont Disputes Claim
Raushenbush contended the cor
respondence disclosed that the
rifle manufacturers were reluctant
to expand for the new foreign
business.
Lamont disputed this claim.
RaushenbuSh asked:
Doesn't IL appear that the
rifle manufacturers were not
very eager to expand on, this
new business that was coming
from Europe?
Lamont replied:
'Why / though they were all
out for buSiness-hOW do you
get your contention, from the
reCOrd-dO you think THAR"

cost Is reduced by offset, the COM
mittee said.
Provisions in the bill permitting
veterans to keep their certificates

and sinking fund accumulation

Although lending their support

International News Service
While Administration officials
appeared dazed by the Supreme
Courts outlawry Of the AAA, Re-
publican leaders today planned q
speedy offering of q substitute
farm relief program.
The Republican program, prob
ably uniting the old McNary-
Haugen equalization fee" bill
with an export debenture plan,
win be laid before the National
Agriculture Conference Of farm
leaders meeting here next week.
Prior to the sessions, Republican
chieftains will discuss farm legis-
lation with the farm leaders.
Advantage With Republicans
Democratic spokesman, includ.
ing Secretary Of Agriculture wal
lace, also will confer with the
farm leaders. The Republicans,
however, will have an advantage
in that they will have q definite
program ready to offer farm lead
ers for their approval. The Demo
Gratis have no such substitute for
the AAA ready.
The Senate meanwhile con.
tinued in recess, while the House
prepared to take up the major
appropriation bills which Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced In his
budget message would call for an
expenditure of 6,752 million dol
lars during the next fiscal year.
Republicans planned to attack the
bill on the economy issue.
Bonus advocates planned t. 60
before the House Rules Commit
tee, seeking q rule to provide
prompt House consideration Of
that measure. Bonus leaders pre-.
dicted debate on the bill would
start before the end Of the week,
with its passage assured.
McNary Bill Nearly Ready
Senator McNary Of Oregon, Re
publican Senate leader, announced
his bill would be ready for intro
duction ''in q few days." He was
Joined by several Of his Republican
colleagues in drafting it.
The farm conference here win
be attended by leaders Of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, the National Grange, the Ma
tional Cooperative Council, the
Farmers National Grain Corpora
tion and the National Association
of Agricultural Editors.
Informal Gathering
Chester Gray, head Of the Farm
Bureau, said:

to discuss farm problems and
farm legislation"
"Win you recommend . sub
stitute for the AAA?"
Certainly"
'Wln the conference consider
the McNary- Haugen bill as .
possible substituted"
"Quite surely it win be con-
sidered, along with others that
are being discussed"
There was some talk of submit
ting o new constitutional amend
ment to the States. AdminiStra-
ton leaders, however, avoided the
subject, apparently waiting for
the President to decide whether
he wishes to inject this issue of
modifying the ConStitution-into
