in the House.
MAKES ENTIRE NATION HELP
Compromise Reached on Army Con
orlptlon Bill Nine Regiments of
Engineers Going to Europe
Soon Desperate Fighting
in Northern France
and Macedonia.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The house of representatives re
ceived from the ways and means' com
uiltteo ou Wednesday the completed
war revenue bill designed to raise $1,
800,000,000, which is additional to the
normal revenue of $l,f00,000,000. The

den. Under Its provisions the Ameri
can people will be paying direct taxes

The prlnclpnl features of the levy

additional tax was placed on sugar.
The bill proposes n normal tax of 2
per cent on Individuals having Incomes

when the president decides to call for
them, and the men necessary to bring
the regular army nnd National Guard
up to maximum wur strength If volun
teers do not come forward In sulllclput
numbers.
Reports during tho week concerning
Iho submnrlno wnrfnro wero conflict
ing nnd confusing. Germany claimed
Its campaign was still successful be
yond Its expectations, whllo Great
Britain Issued figures showing a con
elderablo decreaso In tho number of
U-boat victims.
Great Britain reported tho sinking
of two more hospital ships by the (!er
manN. The news also came of the tor
pedoing of the Ilrltlsh steam.shlp City
of Paris In tho Mediterranean early
In April. The vessel carried 1M1 pas
sengers and a large crew and only 'M
were saved.
American Inventors by the thousand
are seeking means of combating the
submarine, nnd Chairman Saunders of
the naval consulting board made a
statement which, though deprecated by
navy officials, gavo usxurnnee thnt
some of the devices submitted would
solvo tho problem In the near future.
The war department announced on
Monday that nine regiments of engi
neers, made up largely of railroad
men, would be sent to Krance as soon
as possible. These men and doctors
and nurses will be the first to reach
tho, war zone.
Members of the French war commis
sion, after their trip through the cen
tral West, wero received enthusiasti
cally In Philadelphia and New York;
some of the Ilrltlsh commissioners ad
dressed congress, and all of them pre
pared to return home, confident that
tho arrangements made with America
ensured the prosecution of the war to
a victorious conclusion.
" The finance committee of the
French chamber of deputies, In report
ing on u bill, asserted that France
must have a "peace that pays;" In re
storation of Alsace-Lorraine, compen
sation In kind for thefts and damages
in tho Invaded region, rebuilding of
tho ruined towns nnd villages by Ger
man hands, ships to replace those
sunk, and guaranties for annual pay
ments. It was stated authoritatively In
Washington Thursdny thnt President
Wilson had informed Mr. Balfour that
tho United States will mako war and
peaco In common with the allies.
Ferment in Germany.
Of tho greatest Interest and Im
portance wero the events of the week
In Germany. Chancellor von Beth-inann-IIollweg,
finding himself between
two fires, maintained silence concern
ing Germany's alms in tho war. On
tho one hand, the pcacc-wlthout-annex-atlon
socialists attacked him and the
government fiercely, virtually demand
ing that he step down and out. On tho
other hand, the conservatives and Pan
Germans assailed him for apparently
yielding to the other faction, und also
boldly blnmcd his hesitant policy for
the long duration of the wnr. Sweep
ing Internal reforms In tho empire aro
demanded bf the radicals, und some of
them but not enough yet venture to
urgo the wiping out of Prussia's bale
ful predominance null even tho deposi
tion of tho reigning dynasty.
A logical result of these agitations
wns the reported attempt of un assas
sin to shoot the kaiser in Berlin. Iltul
his aim been truer his bullet would
have removed not alone Wllhclm, but
the whole house of Hohenzollcrn.
Closely related to events In Germany
were the developments In Itussln. Tho
provisional heads of tho new republic
were forced to agree to form n coali
tion government with tho dele
gates of tho soldiers' nnd work
men's councils. This quieted the dis
turbances for tho time being, but tho
German socialist emissaries continued
to sprend their propaganda. Borgjerg,
Danish socialist, who Is In Pctrogrnd,
made known the peace terms proposed
by tho German socialist dcmocrntlc
party, tho majority faction. They In
clude recognition of tho right of na
tions to freedom of development, tho
Introduction of compulsory Interna
tional arbitration, the restitution by
Germany of all conquered territories,
a plebiscite In Russian Poland, with
freedom to choose between independ
ence or annexation by Russia or Ger
many; tho restoration of Independence
to Belgium, Serbia, and Roumanln ; tho
restoration to Bulgaria of the Bulgari
an districts of Macedonia, and tho
granting to Serbia of a free port on
tho Adrlntlc.
Tho radical socialists of Petrograd
at onco declared that their party
should hnvo nothing to do with Borg
jerg and his propositions, which they
assorted were wholly pro-German.
Stand of American Socialists.
Lending American socialists gavo out
a statement denouncing tho Interna
tional socialist conferonco called for
Stockholm early In Juno as "tho most
dangerous of all tho kaiser's plots for
cashing In his military victories," and
characterizing the American socialist
delegates, Morris Hlllqult and Alger
non Lee, ns radically pro-German.
In Greece matters moved rapidly Up
ward a climax. The king Is losing
supporters dally In large numbers, and
on Sunday -lO.OOO persons assembled
In Saloulkl nnd with great enthusiasm
adopted a resolution proclaiming tho
deposition of King Constantino and his
dynasty.
Germany Is attempting to start In
Italy the same campaign of disintegra
tion she Is carrying on In Russia.
Baron Sonulno is the object of attack
by radical Journals In the southern
country, as Is Mllyotikov In Petrograd.
A war mission from Italy Is now on
Its way to America. It Is headed by
the prince of Udlne, and Marconi Is
one of the members. The Italians nro
coming to discuss especially tho prob
lems of transporting food and muni
tions from America and the purchnso
of coal and railway rolling stock. Tho
submarine warfaro has caused a griev
ous shortage of coal In Italy.
The Food Problem.
Herbert C. Hoover, chalrmnn of tho
food cuiitnUtee of the Council of Nn
tlonal Def -use. strongly advocated tho
government mcnsurc.s thnt give the
president nnd the department of agri
culture direct control of the country's
food resources. Ho nlso urged a mora
limited use of wheat In this country,
and his talk on that topic was followed
Immediately by a government report
showing thnt tho winter wheat crop
will be only nbout 300,000,000 bushels,
the smallest since 1004. Tho ncrcago
abandoned Is tho largest on record.
In Great Britain tho "meatless day"
was abandoned because Baron Devon
port, food controller, found a diminu
tion In tho consumption of breadstuffs
was of mora importance.
Food riots took place In many cities
and towns of Sweden, and according
to an official statement, the vast ma
jority of Germans aro underfed.
Sweden's predicament, however, was
lessened grcntly on Wednesday when
England agreed to release tho Swedish
ships laden with food and other neces
sities that had been detained In Brit
ish harbors. In return Sweden agreed
to' rclcaso 000,000 tons of allied ship
ping that had been tied up In the gulf
of Bothnia since the beginning of tho
wnr.
Desperate Struggle In France.
The desperato battle for possession
of tho coal fields of Lens In northern
Franco continued unabated through
tho week. Crown Prlnco Ruprecht of
Bavaria brought up great masses ot
reservo troops nnd every nvallable gun
to check tho unceasing British attack,
and on Tuesday he succeeded In re
taking Frcsnoy village and wood. But
that night and the next day the British
returned to the ussault and again took
possession of most of tho lost ground.
Thero was heavy fighting nt otliur
points nlong tho Drocotirt-Qucont line,
which evidently Is regarded by tho
Germans ns of vital Importance. Bad
weather lessened tho severity of tho
fighting along tho French frout.
Tho expected general offensive by
tho allies on tho Macedonian front be
gan after several days of Intense artil
lery nctlvlty nnd according to London
advices It was fairly successful. Bo-
tween Lake Ochrlda and Lako Dolran
thero was fierce fighting, tho British
capturing Bulgarian trenches for a
stretch of two miles. In tho Cerna
river bend tho Russians took several
enemy trenches, and In tho upper Mog
lenlcn river valley tho Serbians, light
ing to regain their own laud, hit tho
Teutonic allies hard blows. As usual,
Berlin claimed that all these attacks
by tho entente allies wero repulsed.
An Interesting development of tho
week wns the announcement that Ja
pan had been asked to supply ships
for tho transportation of Amerlcnn
troops and supplies to Kurope, and tho
resulting discovery that Japan Itself
wns planning to send n Inrgo number
of soldiers to the Russian front this
summer.
President Wilson on Thursdny cro
ntcd u war council of tho Red Cross
and Henry P. Davlson'of J. P. Morgnn
& Co. was placed at Its head. In ac
cepting thnt post Mr. Davison said all
tho vast facilities of tho Morgan firm
would stand behind tho Red Cross for
tho duration of tho wnr,
"Seed and Feed" the Slogan of
the Year.
The pnpers aro filled with tho appeal
for soldiers, sailors and farmers, and
all are timely, ull nro ncccssnry. The
sailor Is needed to man the ships tlxit
protect the shores, pollco the seas and
elenr the ocean of tormenting and
meddlesome masked buccaneers, to
give help to the allies, to mako moro
efficient the present fighting units that
nro keeping free the sea lanes nnd
ocean routes. The soldier Is required
to keep nllve und Intact the unity ot
tho nation and the freedom of tho
world, to protect the lives of Its citi
zens from Incursions without ami raids
within, to guard the honor and pre
serve the dignity of the greut United
Stntes, to render not only sentimental
but practical assistance to those who
for two and a half years on the bat
tlefields of 'Flanders nnd the steppes
of the Fast have been fighting for tho
freedom of the world against a domi
nant autocratic and militarist Prus-
fslunlsm, which, were it to become suc
cessful, would mean ntitocnitlsm, mil
itarism und Prusslnnlsm, nnd a "get-off-tho-sldewnlklsm"
over tho cntlro
world. The nllles are proud to wel
come these now accessions to the fight
ing forces, which mean an earlier ter
mination of the war and tho dawn of
nn era that will be historic, ono
that we will all be proud that wo lived
In. Throughout all Canada, Great
Britain, France, and nil tho allied coun
tries, when tho news was received that
the United Stntes had entered tho war,
n thrill went up and down Iho nation'
sides, and tho pulses throbbed with n
new life, keenly uppreclatlvo of tho
practical sentiment that had brought
to their sides an ally ot tho strength
and virility of tho United States.
But tho soldier nnd the sailor need
to be fed, and therefore the cry for
agricultural enlistment. Tho strength
of tho fighting man must bo main
tained. In his absence from tho field
there comes tho necessity for provision
to take his place. Tho appeal for farm
help Is well timed, opportune and Im
portant. Thero aro vacant lands a
plenty In tho United States that, given
a fair opportunity under competent ad
visement and reasonable help, will pro
duce abundantly. Western Canada
also provides an excellent field for the
prosecution of work In growing wheat
and other grains, and whllo It Is not
tho dcslro of tho Canadian Government
to draw from the resources of the
United States, believing that it Is the
duty of every patriotic citizen to do
all ho possibly can to build up the
stores of depleted foods and making
uso of every energy at home, tho wish
is to lay before tho public the fact
that Canada has millions of acres ot
excellent land capable of producing
wonderful crops. If for any reason
the reader, having patriotism and a
lovo of his country In his heart, and a
dcslro to forward the canse of the al
lies, cannot (wall himself of the oppor
tunities afforded In tho United States,
Western Canada will be glad to rea
der him any assistance It can In locat
ing him on Its vacant areas, whero large
crops can be grown at minimum of
cost Let us grow the grain, raise the
cattlo, produce tho food to feed our
soldiers, our sailors and provide food
for our allies, no matter whether It is
done to the 'North or to the South of
the boundary line that In the object Is
view should not bo known as a boun
dary. Let us keep up the spirit of pa
triotism, whether It be growing grata
In the United States or In Canada, bat
Canada, fully allvo to 'the necessity.
Joins In tho appeal of Its allies the
United States for more food and mora
