The speech which wa? to have been
r.'.a ie in the reichstag by Dr. von
Ecthrr.ann-iloliweg. the German chan
cellor, ha- been postponed to a more

At a caucus of the majority socialist-

German System a Failure.
Am.-terdam (Yia London), May 2.
Th- Ih.mhurtrer Fremdenblatt has
cme to tiie concha -ion that the Ger
man political sy.-tcm is a failure and
nu-t be changed.. The paper says:
"There i- no use theorizing. There
is something wrun with our govern
mental yten, as is clearly proved by
(itirr.am'.-, political failures, an! in
fact by the whole war.
"Fresh blood must be infused in the
government."
The Fremdenblatt advocates the re
moval of the bureaucratic harriers in
-.rder to allow the parliament and
government to work in harmo.iv.

A ride in any of the Willys-Overland

the luxurious riding qualities of these
cars.
All details having bearing on the
comfort of these cars have been har
moniously balanced.
ample wheelbase and large tires
shock-absorbing cantilever rear
springs
deep so ft upholstery
roomy body with with side seats
proper balance in construction
Each one of these features does its
important part in absorbing the jolts
of rough roads. You ride smoothly in
solid comfort.
Every model in the comprehensive
Willys-Overland line is built to a rigid
standard of performance, appearance
and comfort. Each car is, we believe,
the dominant value among cars of its
kind.

Scries cf Feelers Expected.
Washington. May 2. Reports
of
fresh peace offers from L'erlin
hi ought forth the statement from the
British niission todav that a series of
feelers were expected during the next
few months as an immense amount
of quiet peace efforts had been under
way by Teutonic emmissaries.
Germany was stated to have made
advances proposing surrendering its
conquests in the cast and west on con
dition of retaining its Balkan way to
Bagdad and Mesopotamia, but the al
lies hae been more united against
that plan than against any other pro
posal. WILL SEND ARMY TO
THE FRENCH FRONT
Washington, May 2. The French
commissioners today had assurance
that the American government is
willing to send troops to France one
of the urgent recommendations they
brought to tliis country when the
allies believe they can afford to spare
the necessary ships for transporting
an army and its equipment across
the Atlantic.
The administration has put aside
the objections of the army general
staff to sending any troops to 'the
battle front until a big force has been
raiser and trained for nearly a year
and lias decided that for the sake of
the moral effect on America's actual
participation in the trench battling,
a small contingent shall go forward
a s soon as possible.
This will be seen, it is believed, al
though the government is mindful
that nearly ."oo,u)0 tons of shipping
would be required for a regular army

Indications That the House and Sen
ate Will Compromise in
This Way.
House Not Expected to Agree to the
Roosevelt Expedition Propo
sition. Washington, I). C, May 2. House
and senate conferees today began the
task of adjusting differences over the
annual army appropriation bill and
as soon as settlement is reached, they
will seek to reach an agreement on
the army bill, repassed by the
senate yesterday, over which there
are more serious differences. An
early agreement on both measures is
hoped for so as to send them on to
President Wilson for his approval
this week.
Prospects are that the house con
ferees will refuse to agree to the sen
ate amendment which would permit
Theodore Roosevelt to raise a volun
teer expedition for foreign service.
Most of the other major differences
are beliewed to be susceptible of ad
justment, including those on ages
subject to selective draft and the sen
ate army prohibition amendment.
The senate bill specified the ages sub
ject to draft at from 21 to 27 and
the house at from 21 to 40 and indi
cations are that a compromise will
be effected fixing the minimum age
at possibly 21 and the maximum at
35.
The war emergency bill carrying
?2,S27,n-.-n,G5., was taken up in the
house today for final action and its
prompt passage with but few dissent
ing votes virtually was assured.
The bill appropriates $2,320,591,-
907 for the army, $503,339,073 for
the navy and the balance is to meet
extraordinary expenses of other de-
partments arising chiefly from the
war.
Debate on administration espionage
bill continued in the senate today and
will be kept before it continuously
until disposed of. Senate leaders
hope to pass the measure by the end
of the week at the latest. A similar
pleasure is pending in the house. The
senate already has voted approval of
the so.called censorshin section of the
bill, although there is nothing to pre
vent its consideration again.
Strong opposition is looked for over
a provision wnich would authorize
the president to declare an embargo
on exports that might go through
neutral countries to Germany and
Austria.

National Defense on the part shtte
governments will take in the war, thav
the federal government had lieiird
400,000 Ions ef shipping bad In en sunk
in the last week by German sub

was alarming the United States.

said.
The United States must build shipe

other side," he raid, '"we .shall fight i'.
oil this side of the Atlantic."
Thinks Long Mar Ahead.
Secretary Lane declared he believed
the war would la.-t several years, and
that every resource of the country
must re i-.rought into place, m order
to bring it to a successful coriclusi.-.n.
"'Many perrons thouirht." said Sec
retary Lane, "that all we had to eo
was to issue bonds and that Germany
would bow her head in submission..
Nothing ecu hi be farther from the
truth. We do not know when t'ri
war will end. It may n t be a one
year war. Personally, I believe it
will last several years. Herbert C.
