WILSON FOOD BILL
BITTERLY DEBATED
Measure Which May Be Voted
Upon Tomorrow Buns Into
Opposition from Demo,
cratic Senators.
Washington, Aug. 7. The confer
ence report on the administration
food control bill was again the sub
ject of debate in the senate today,
Leaders believed it would be voted
on tomorrow. Most republicans were
said to favor immediate adoption of
the report and the principal opposi
tion came from democratic members,
notably Senators Keed, Hollis and
Gore.
Debate yesterday became caustic
when Senator Chamberlain, in charge
of the bill, accused Senator Gore of
obstructing passage of the food bill
and other administration measures re
peatedly and Senator Gore charged
the senate conferees with letting Pres-
ident Wilson dictate to them.
Congress Has Full Power.
Senator Williams, defending the
elimination of the provision, for a
congressional committee to super
vise war expenditures, pointed out
that congress already has full power
to investigate all expenditures.
Senator Williams declaring it was
well for the senate to hear what the
' country thinks; denounced obstruc
tionists. "
"It is a time to forget party align
"V ments," he said, "and I am glad to say
', that a majority of both the democrats
and republicans have done so, but
if there is a small group on both sides
who have formed themselves into an
anti-administration and anti-American
party."
' "Consciously or unconsciously," he
said, "they had put themselves into
the attitude of opposing everything
hat goes to carry on the war.
Must Get Together.
"It is time for the majority of the
democratic and republican parties to
get together and say to these little
groups," he declared, "You have danc
ed your ballet, you have sung your
song. America is tired of you. We
are tired of you and want to lo some
thing. , '
"Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson all are
setting examples. All three have
proven their Americanism. They are
tired, the country is tired, the house
is tired and two-thirds of the senate
is tired of this constant gabble-fest
this constant gabbling about nothing.
We're lagging through the dog days
making everybody nervous and tired
with talk on this bill that isn't chang
ing a vote. ' '
"Why take tip the time of the
American people with this."
Senator New of Indiana, republi
can, declared the public does not un
derstand the bill and expects the im
possible from it
Senators Are Doubtful
"Warlv evrv senator has doubts
I si in its results." he said. "Not ten
members actually believe in it. But
it is apparent that the senate is going
to give this bill to the administra-1
tion and the public because they
want it. lt public has been led to
believe that it will reduce the cost of
living and it would be impolitic to de
feat it." .
Speaking in opposition to the adop
tion of the conference report, Sena
I tor Gronna pronounced it a "victory
for the Standard Oil company and
the grain exchanges oi the country,,
declaring there was nothing in it to
. control prices of the oils the farmer
needs. Control over fuel oil, he ad
s mined, was inserted in the bill, but
said this was only the product of
petroleum after gasoline, had been ex
tracted. ' ' . ' , ' , ' '
"You can't fool the American far
mer into believing that kerosene and
gasoline have been placed tinder
control price," said he. '
Senator Chamberlain Interrupted
Mr. Gronna to deny that the oil com
panies benefitted hi any way under
the bill. Senator Grtenna took oc
casion to reply to Senator Williams
speech attacking "obstructionists.
Senator Gronna declared that he had
not delayed the passage of any meas
ure ten minutes since the declaration
of war. - -'
Senator Gronna asserted that the
farmers were not exempt from the
anti-hoarding section. The provision,
he contended, legalized hoarding by
the big milling companies that oper
ate through grain exchanges or
chambers of commerce and seriously
, affected little millers who Dougnt ai
frnm nrrifliirpr.
s.natnr Cronna contended the bill
did an injustice to labor and to farm
ers and wculd have an injurious effect
on the ccuntry. '

German Version
Of Murder of Crew
Justifies the Act
Amsterdam, Aug. 7. Dutch news
papers print in a parallel column
with an account of the murder of
the crew of the British steamship
Belgian Prince, a Berlin telegram
Riving the following extract from a
pastoral letter read in all the Protes
tant churches oi Berlin last Sunday:
"We will comport ourselves as
Christians toward our enemies and
conduct the war in the future as in
the past with humanity and chiv
alry The pastoral letter was read at a
service which Emperor William and
the German empress attended at the
cathedral It exhorts the people to
humanity, and recognizes the hand of
God in the protection from invasion
which the Fatherland has enjoyed.
The British steamshio Belgian
Prince was sunk July 31 by a Ger
man submarine. According to sur
vivors who reached a German port
the U-boat shelled the vessel and the
German commander then ordered the
crew to take to the boats and go
alongside the submarine. The Ger
mans, the survivors assert, removed
the life belts and outer clothing of
all the members of the crew except
eight, smashed the lifeboats with
axes, and then re-entered the submar
ine and closed the hatches, leaving
the men on deck. The submarine
traveled on the surface for about two
miles and then submerged. Thirty
eight of the crew were drowned.
Three others were rescued by a
patrol boat, x
Masonry to Help When Peace
Comes, Says Colorado Man
Duluth, Minn., Aug. 7. "When the
time comes for the final adjustment
of peace conditions, following the
world war. Masonry will be an im
portant factor in bringing universal
peace," was the statement made last
night by Leslie E. Hubbard, attorney
general of Colorado, who is appearing
on Masonic affairs before the meet
ing of the supreme council of the
thirty-third degree, Scottish Rite,
southern jurisdiction.
"Masonry has a great mission in
this war," Mr. Hubbard said. "Its
influence will be an important fac
tor in bringing about universal peace.
The noble sentiments emanating from
the order will have a salutary effect
on the nations striving to., get back
to a footing of brotherly love and
democracy. Masonry is strong in
Germany and Austria as well as in
our own country and Great Britain,
The order will be solid when peace
comes and will therefore be able to
do more for humanity than it ever
has done before."
U. S. Soldiers in France
Will Be Allowed to Vote
Washington, Aug. 7. American
citizens in France as members of the
expeditionary forces will be privileged
to vote-at the fall elections, provided
their respective states establish the
necessary overseas voting machinery.
1'rovost Marshal Oeneral Crowder,
in a ruling on the subject holds that
there is no bar to any citizenship in
an election because of , his absence
from home while on duty with the
troops. Following the process used
on the Mexican border last year, sol
diers at National Guard mobilization
camps or cantonments of the national
army will cast ballots at the coming
elections if the states enact the need
ed legislation.
A ruling by General Crowder di
rects exemption boards to accept for
service all aliens who are willing to
waive their immunity claims, based on
allegiance to another government, In
this manner the ranks of the new na
tional army are opened to friendly
alien! who wish to volunteer.
Iowa Oats Crop Biggest
Ever Harvested in State
Des Moines, Aug. 7. It is probable
that the present oats crop, now being
threshed, will be the biggest in the
history of the state.
The yield is unusually heavy, much
of it threshing out at from seventy
to eighty-five bushels to the acre, and
the acreage is large.
- Prospects for the corn crop are
also excellent The recent rains have
been of much benefit to the corn.
The corn got a late start in Iowa
because of the cool weather in the
early part of the season and it is
now two weeks late in many sections
of the state. A late fall is necessary
to avoid much soft corn. With the
right kind of weather, however,
Iowa's corn crop would pass the
400,000,000-bushel mark and may go
to 450,000,000. The biggest crop
ever grown in the state was in 1912,
when it totaled about 389,000,000
bushels.
Wounded Soldiers Recover
Quickly Under New Method
An Atlantic Port, August 7. -Out
of one detail of 1,350 wounded men
sent for special treatment to a Lon
don hospital suffering from crushed
fand broken bones, 1,000 were able to
return to active fluty at the tront, ac
cording to Major J. E. Goldthwait,
anjorthopedic surgeon of the United
States army medical reserve corps,
who arrived here today from Europe.
Major Goldthwait is one of twenty
American medical officers who have
been in France and England observ
ing and, studying new methods of
treating wounded. He said he re
turned to the United States to recruit
surgeons who could be given the ad
vantage of similar study in order that
the American army when it gets into
action may have the benefit of the
modern treatment of wounds from its
own surgeons.

TEUTON FOREIGN
POLICY IS IN AIR
Political Questions Are of Great
Importance in Future Con-'
duct of Germany's Aims
for World Domination.
Copenhagen, Aug. 7. Will Dr. von
Kuehlmann or Dr. Karl Helfferich,
vice chancellor, be the real director of
foreign policy under the administra
tion of Dr. Michaelis, the imperial
German chancellor? This is the polit
ical problem of the hour in connec
tion with the shakeup of the cabinets
in Germany.
It is known the versatile Dr.
Helfferich desires to have a hand, in
steering Germany's new course in
world politics after the war, and it is
rumored th:.i the new chancellor, un
acquainted as he is with international
affairs, desires to retain the ex-bank
director (Dr. Helfferich) as his spe-
i .u: .. n
iiai duvisui unu uiuuuipickc, particu
larly for thL field.
In fact, one o. the avowed" reasons
for Dr. Helfferich's retention, despite
his present unpopularity in the Reich
stag, was that his services are indis
pensable in peace negotiations. The
Berlin Tagcblatt. the Lokal Anzeiger
and the Vossische Zeitung all refer
to the possi' ility of a conflict, as Dr.
von Kuehlmann, it is understood, is
disinclined to permit himself to be
regulated to a subordinate place.
A second feature of the shakeup is
the consideration shown the Catho
lie center party, whose demand for
representation m the imperial and
Prussian cabinets for the Roman
Catholic population was recognized
by the appointment of three Roman
Catholics, Spahn, Waldow and Kuehl
mann. With a revocation of the anti
Jesuit and Polish expropriation laws,
also part of the centrist program, that
party is considered to have done very
well as a result of the parliamentary
crisis. '
While the radical and socialist press
is dissatisfied at the absence of any
marked concession to parliament
arism in the new cabinets and at the
failure to consult the Reichstag in
any way on the appointments, news
papers of the opposite camp are ag
grieved at the shelving of Dr. Besel
tr Prussian minister of justice; Count
Loebell, Prussian minister of the in
terior, and Baron von Schorlemer,
Prussian minister of agriculture, and
other standpatters on Prussian fran
chise reform.
One U-Boat Sinks 66,000
Tons of Shipping; Still Going
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 7. One
German submarine during a three-
week period ending July 19, sank
nineteen vessels aggregating 66,000
tons and was still in condition to re
main longer away from its base, ac
cording to a report brought here to
day by Harold Hansen of Detroit, a
member of the crew of one of the
nineteen ships, who said he received
his information from the U-bpat commander.
Hansen said he belonged to the
Norwegian -sailing shin Artensis, a
vessel of 1,789 tons-gross register,
sunk while on its way from Glasgow
to Hampton Roads. His ship stopped
when ordered to do so by the sub
marine commander, and a detail from
the U-boat came aboard and removed
all the food supplies. .
The crew was then ordered into
boats, given the course to the nearest
land, and the Artensis was torpedoed.
The captain of the submarine Hansen
said, told him-and other members of
his crew with pride that he had sunk
eighteen ships in three weeks and was
after more.
