DETAILS ARE WITHHELD
Washington, May 4. Definite plans
have been completed for sending
United States army base hospitals to
the fighting front in France.
The number of the units, the time
of their departure, the means of their
transportation and their exact destina
tion cannot for obvious reasons be
disclosed.
The sending of the American hos
pital units is in accord with the plan
to increase hospital facilities behind
the front and reduce the number of
hospital ships, which have become
special targets for German submar
ines. Despite protests of the Red Cross,
ruthless destruction of ships bearing
wounded soldiers, including Germans,
continues. Since Germany declines to
hear the protests of civilization, the
onlv course onen to the allies is to re
duce the opportunities for violation of
humanity's laws. Red Cross leaders
declare.
Other American hospital units prob
ably will be sent from time to time.
' British Mission Busy.
The British mission today began
viiler and more public conferences
with American officials. Rear Ad
miral Sir Dudley R. S. De Chair con
ferred with the house naval commit
tee and Foreign Secretary Balfour
conferred with the Council of Na
tional Defense. The conferences were
:o afford opportunity for questions by
the American officials. - , .
Mr. Balfour, after a visit to Secre
tary LanHng, went to a joint meet
ing of British embassy and mission
members, which took up shipping,
food and munitions. Now that the
e.ttent and means of American co
operation has been outlined, it is
necessary for the various interests
within the British mission to agree
among themselves as to the propor
tional share each shall receive'.
Invitations from all parts of the
country are pouring in upon the mis
sion, but as yet no final plans have
been made.
Plans for Training Army.
A full outline of plans for training
the first 10,000 officers for the first
50,000 troops raised by selective con
scription was made public today by
the War department.
After three months' instruction at
the training camps the 10,000 officers
for sixteen infantry and two cavalry
divisions will be selected on merit
, from the total of forty thousand and
assigned to regiments which will be
called to the colors a month or two
later. The other thirty thousand men
who are found qualified will be com
missioned in the officers' reserve
corps and called out for duty as
needed.
For the first of their training the
officer candidates will be organized
into fourteen infantry companies and
drilled as such by regular and Na
tional Guard officers and such of their
own number as may be qualified for
command. Then they will be organ
ized by individual fitness into nine in
fantry companies, three batteries of
artillery and two troops of cavalry.

President's Authority.
BURLESON EFFORTS VAIN
Washington, May 4. The adminis
tration espionage bill was passed by
the house late today, 260 to 105, with
a modified censorship section.
After eliminating the newspaper
censorship section, as approved by
the administration, the house by a
vote of 293 to 95, inserted the new
section, which makes it necessary to
show the publication of prohibited in
formation has been of value to the
enemy before penalties of the law be
come etlective.
By a vote of 40 to 30 the senate
today substituted the export embargo
clause of the espionage bill suggested
by president Wilson with one re
stricting: the president's authority to
embargo exports only when American
products are reaching the venemy.
Speaker Uark, Kepublican Leader
Mann and Miss Rankin voted to strike
out the administration section, which
was defeated by dM to lb.
Warm Debate in House.
The vote came after administration
leaders had fought hard for the sec
tion under a hot fire of attack and
Chairman Webb of the judiciary com
mittee had told the house he had
just heard from President Wilson that
the section was necessary to the de
fense and safety of the country. ;
. Postmaster General Burleson, who
often jisits the capitol to round- u
support for administration measures,
made a futile attempt to get enough
votes for the censorship section.
In closing argument for the cen
sorship section Chairman Webb of
the judiciary committee declared he
had just received word from President
Wilson that the section would be
necessary to the defense and success
of the country.
"Was that message brought down
by Postmaster General Burleson, who
is always snooping around here?" de
manded Representative Norton of
North Dakota.
Mr. Webb did hot reply to the
question, but launched into an attack
on newspapers, which, he said, were
not standing by the president.
Text of Censorship Clause.
Under the new section very wide
discretion to prohibit publication of
information would be lodged in the
president, who would prohibit publi
cation by proclamation.
The new section follows:
"During any national emergency,
resulting from a war in which the
United States is a party or from im
minence of such, war, the publication,
willfully and without proper author
ity or of any information relating to
the national defense that is or may be
useful to the enemy, is hereby pro
hibited, and the president is hereby
authorized to declare by proclamation
the existence of such national emer
gency and is hereby authorized from
time to time, by proclamation, to de
clare the character of such informa
tion which is or may be useful to the
enemy and in any prosecution here
under the jfiry trying the case shall
determine not only whether the de
fendant or defendants did willfully
and without proper authority publish
the information relating to the na
tional defense as set out in the indict
ment, but also whether such informa
tion was of such character as to be
useful to the enemy.
Penalties for Violators.
"Provided. That nothine in this
section shall be construed to limit or
restrict any discussion, comment or
criticism upon any fact or any of the
acts or policies of the government
and its representatives or the publish
ing of the same.
''Whoever violates the foregoing
provision shall upon conviction there
of be punished by a fine of not more
than $10,000 or by imprisonment for
not more than ten years, or both.".
Martial Law Order in
Mexico is Revoked
Mexico City. May 4. Tbe law re
voking individual guarantees, equiva
lent to martial law, was officially re
scinded last night afte.- being in force
since last August. Prisoners arrested
under this law have been- released.
Among thera was General Panftlo Na

in 1914 and was primarily responsible
for the break between General Car

Blanco was not released.
The senate has tabled the house

Washington, May 4. Creation
of central purchasing com
mittee in Washington for all
supplies bought in the United
States for the allies was forecast
here today by Sir Rardman
Lever, financial expert of the
British mission.
The British expert said Ger
many will be practically bankrupt
in the credit markets after the
war.
Teutonic governments, having
pyramided one internal loan
upon another, he explained, their
interest charges would be so great
that he believed they would either
have to repudiate a large part of
their debt or face inability to buy
the enormous quantities of ma
terials they would need for reconstruction.
SHORTAGE IN MEAT
PRODUCING STOCK
ALARMSGROWERS
Market Men and Agricultural
Experts meet to Discuss
Methods to Increase Out
put in Nebraska.
SITUATION, IS MENACING
Gravity Increases Throughout
Country, With No Hope for
Immediate Relief.
FEED IS GROWING SCARCE
At a meeting of stock growers,
commission men and professor! from
the college of agriculture at Lincoln
reports of the alarming shortage of
meat artimals were submitted. Meth
ods of increasing the production
were discussed and resolutions
adopted.
A representative of the Omaha Live
Stock exchange stated that there were
6,000,000 less breeding cattle in the
United States today than there were
fifteen years ago.
Stock Sold Premature.
Receipts of cattle at the seven prin
cipal markets showed an increase of
330,000, but the increase was due to
premature marketing of stock. High
cost of feed has caused farmers to
send stock to market..
Rules Are Framed.
The hog market shows the same
condition; 951,000 less the first four
months this year than last, a decrease
of about 10 per cent. The prospects
for the next four months are that
the hog market will be much lighter.
With feeders all over the country
practically gone, brood animals sold,
hay and grain at a prohibitive figure
and slight prospects of any relief, the
conference decided drastic action was
necessary.
A committee of five appointed to
formulate a plan drew up resolutions
that it was the sense of the confer
ence that the immediate conserva
tion and increase of live sttfck on the
farms could best be brought about by
observing the following rules:
1. Breeding sows for fall litters.
2. Prevention cf slaughter of desir
able breeding stock.
3. Increasing the flocks of breed
ing ewes kept on farms.
What Actuated Conference.
- Realization of the seriousness of
the shortage of live stock and that
the production of live stock is essen
tial to the most profitable use of the
farms oromoted the conference to
adopt theje resolutions. It is neces
sary to have live stock to attain the
highest efficiency of farm land as per
manent and profitable agriculture de
pends upon diversified farming, of
which live stock production should be
no small part.
It developed at the meeting that
cattle fed at distilleries in this state
have all been marketed, that the cattle
fed at sugar factories have been pretty
well shipped out, that hay fed cattle
were all gone and that the small
farmer has already marketed all his
stock. The commission men estimate
that the number of feeders out now is
from 2s to 40 per cent less than this
time a year ago.
Hog Shortage Grows.
While the hog shortage for the first
four months has been only 10 per
cent, the indications are that the next
four months will show a greater de
crease, both in number and tonnage.
Sheep alone show an increase in
the seven principal markets during
the four months, 48,000 more head
being received during te period than
were received a year ago. The state-

London, May 4. The British last
night made progress northwest of St,

the British have maintained their
hold on Fresnoy and all the positions
captured in that neighborhood in yes
etrday's drive,
The British were compelled to fall
back from the advanced positions cap
tured yesterday in the neighborhood
of Cherisy and astride the Arras-Cam-
brai road, the statement adds.
Guns Boom All Night
Throughout the night the guns con
tinued to boom without intermission
on the Arras battlefield and frequent
bursts of machine gun and rifle fire
told of attacks and counter attacks
along various parts of the front of the
British offensive .
Reuter's correspondent at British
headquarters telegraphs this morning
that apparently there has been little
change since the official communica
tion of last evening was issued.
The British made small but' impor
tant progress at several points.
On the south bank of the Scarpe
the Britsh pushed forward, overcom
ing the resistance of machine gun
posts, which abound all along this
ground. They have established them
selves in the sunken road near Pelves
mill, which has a dip of nine feet and
offers possibilities tor offense and de
fense. At Roeux, which Is directly oppo
site this new position, the Germans
still remain in the fiercely contested
chemical works, but the British have
a series of posts astride the ground
east of this place.
' German Attacks Repulsed.
British Headquarters in France
(Via London), May 4. The Germans
made desperate counter attacks
throughout the entire night against
the positions won by the Bntish yes
terday, but were everywhere repulsed.
the latest reports trom the battle
front show that the Hindenburg line
was pierced both northwest and
southeast of Bullecourt for long dis
tances. The Germans bitterly de
fended these strong points and at
tempted several times to retake them,
but once the British were in the deep
trenches they held on.
The men fought that steadily that
there was neither time nor thought
of food. The battlefields were dry
and dusty, however, and water bot
tles had to be replenished time and
again, whenever it was possible to
do so.
Two Weeks Ahead of Schedule.
Washington, May 4. The British
forces on the western front are two
weeks ahead of their attacking sched
ule, according to a cablegram received
here today by Secretary Balfour from
the foreign office. The advance, it is
said, has been much faster than ex
pected and the losses smaller.
The losses were said to be only
one-half as large proportionately as
those on the Somme offensive last
year. This is attributed by members
of the mission to an incomparably
better artillery preparation and the
fact that the men are not allowed to
outrun the guns.

Coleman. Tex., May 4. Instruct
ing the jury .today in the case of
Harry J, Spanell on trial in connec
tion with the killing of Lieutenant
Colonel M. C. Butler at Alpine last
July, Judge Woodward said that if
the jurors believed that Spanell. with
malice aforethought, killed Butler he
should be found guilty of his murder
and his punishment assessed at death
or imprisonment for not less than
five years.
The court said that if the defendant
was found guilty of manslaughter and
it was found that he never had been
convicted of any felony, the jury
could cause sentence to be suspended
during good behavior.
When the court finished his charge
arguments began. The four attorneys
who will speak for each side will have
a total of sixteen hours to speak.
The case is expected to- reach the

Mrs. J. H. Hughes Couldn't

TELLS OF FORGED CHECKS
Wine, women and the lack of elas
tic currency were the chief troubles
of Percy M. Bowers, an Iowa farmer
boy, wuo came to Umaha to learn
how to become an auto mechanician.
Relatives who intended to finance
a garage business for him when he
was graduated from a local auto
school have taken him back home and
Percy is now doing the chores, with
nothing to console him save memo
ries of the girl back in Omaha who
helped him spend his money and then
told him he was "impossible."
"You sec," she said, "I can't be
married to two men at the same time.
I already have a husband."
Thus rudely awakened Percy
grieved. But the girl did not. She
is Mrs. J. H. Hughes, the baby bride,
and she had other things to worry
about, such as explaining a forged
check and a worthless charge account
at local stores. .
Tells of Checks.
Mrs. Hughes was arraigned in po
lice court Friday to answer to the
charge of forging a check for $25 in
the Brandcis store. She asked Judge
Madden to "wait a couple of days"
before hearing her case. Her
"mamma," she explained, and perhaps
her husband would be on hand then
to help her. The trial was set for
Tuesday. .
Mrs. Hughes told how she came to
forge the check. She said she was
sitting in her room at the Dillon ho
tel when the manager of the Shir
ley clothes shop entered.
"The check for $5 which we cashed
for you," he announced, "is not hon
ored at the bank."
"That's too bad," Mrs. Hughes
said. "Wait a minute."
She donned her hat and coat and
rushed to the Brandcis store, where
she got $25 cash for another bit of
worthless paper.
Pays the Debt.
With the money thus obtained
she hastened back to her room and
paid in full the waiting manager of
the Shirley clothes shop.
the Burgess-.Nash store is also a
complainant against Mrs. Hughes.
She got $40 worth of wearing apparel
there on a charge account, it is al
leged. .
But my mamma or mv husband

BULLETIN.
London, May 4. A Petrograd
dispatch says that the Novaia
Zhim, th oagan of the social
democrats, and other extreme
left newspapers severely criticise
Foreign - Secretary MilukoS's
note to the allies asserting Rus
sia's determination vigorously toN
push the war against Germany.
The note will be discussed at an
extraordinary general meeting of
the council of workmen's and
soldiers' delegates.
Petrograd, May 4. (Via London.)
The evening newspapers declare
that the government is united in its
responsibility for the note to the al
lies, promising energetic co-operation
in the war against Germany. - They
say that the government is supported
by the executive committee of the
Duma.
Demonstrations by soldiers and
workmen against Foreign Minister
Milukoff occurred yesterday,,
Detachments of soldiers gathered ;
In front of the headquarters of the .
provisional government carrying red
flags and demanding the resignation
of the minister, and workmen pa
raders carried similar banners, some
of which called for the resignation of
lie yroriBiunai gunnHBTnif,
; After extended conferences be

Minister Addresses Mob.
When Foreign Minister Milukofl
saw the banners inscribed with the !.
words, Down with Milukoff he ad
dressed the demonstrators from the
balcony of the palace, saying that he '
was fearful not of Milukoff, but for
Russia.
If the inscription interpreted the
feelings of a .majority of the citi
zens, he asked, what must be the con
dition of Russia. The entente allies,',
would say Russia had betrayed its al- '
lies and had struck its name from the
list of theallied powers.
"The provisional government can- '
not accept that view of things," con. :
tinued'M. Milukoff. "I. decare to you
that the provisional government and '
myself, as minister of foreign affairs,
will defend a position in which no
one will dare to charge Russia with
treason. .
No Separate Peace.
: "Never shall Russia consent to a
separate peace.
"The provisional government Is a
sailing vessel which can only move
with the help of the wind. We look,
then, for your trust, which is the wind
that is to make bur ship go forward.
I hope you will supply us with that
breeze and that your confidence will -aid
us in propelling Russia toward lib- .
erty and prosperity and in upholding ,
the dignity of our great, fres coun- .
try."
The words of the foreign minister
evoke 1 hearty cheering.
At a meeting of the council of sol
diers' and workmen's delegates the '
formation of a coalition cabinet was
favored. Later the executive commit
tee ot tne council attended a meeting
of the council of the provisional gov- '
eminent.
Counter Demonstrations.
There were also demonstrations last
evening in favor of the government.
M. Rodzianko, president of tbe Duma,
exhorted the people to continue the
war until the attainment of victory
worthy of the Russian people.
A co-imission representing the
Russian provisional government will
leave in the near future for America
to confer with American governrAent
officials concerning the industrial, eco
nomic and financial relations of the
two countries. Information to this
effect was obtained by the Associated
1'ress trom a high official source.
