REVENUE LEGISLATION TIME BEING CONSIDERED
PRESIDENT CONFERS WITH CONGRESS LEADERS.
WADOO FOR EARLY ACTION
WASHINGTON, May 23—President Wilson conferred with congressional leaders today on the necessity of holding the congress in session after July 1 to pass new war revenue legislation. " he plan, suggested and strongly advocated by Secretary McAdoo, is opposed by congressmen who favor postponing action until next December. The matter probably will be determined by the 1 resident's decision The President yesterday went over the financial situation with Secretary McAdoo and is expected to consult the secretary again before reaching a conclusion on whether the administration shall declare the legislation essential immediately to the preservation of a healthy condition in the nation's finances. Majority Leader Kitchin. of the house, said today he had not given up his fight against revenue legislation at this session ‘T have not seen i thing that Secretary McAdoo has done or a word that he has sjaid that indicates the necessity of having a revenue at this time,’* he said

In this crisis.
Father Cjaviak formerly was president
of -the National Association of Corrections and Charities and has been active In man> charitable movements in In-

the duty of every citizen in this crisis: not only to the demand for patriotic ptqpoyc. but for the charitable work of ’he citv. which the war will make the greater ihi« year Every dollar contributed Will be a hundred cents for each worthy cause, and I have everv confidence in the justice and judgment of the committee which Is to distribute

’One of m.y chief regret* now ts that I can do no active work in securing subscriptions. I am inclosing mineone of the most (heerful duties I have

Channel Traffic.
LONDON. May 23-"Suicide" is the word used by the German naval authorities to describe what it would mean for the kaiser's navy to attempt to Interfere with the transport of allied troops and munitions across the English chan-
nel.
According to German papers considerable irritation has been caused in Germs ny by the rapidity with which England has been throwing men into France, and criticism has been directed at the admiralty. In a defense Rear-Admiral Karl Hollweg points out* that the activity of the German navy is subiect to certain geographical limitations ’A voluntary attempt to remove these limitations.'' he argues, "woiild signlty a heroic but useless suicide fpr the German fleet The distance from German harbors is too great for the regular and frequent attacks which alone could caust continuous interruption of channel traffic. A small German fleet can not remain long In the channel, for submarines and mines would reap a ri'h harvest among It, and after being cut off, It would be compelled to accept battle with overwhelming British force# in unfavorable conditions.” Even German submarines, acconding to their commanders, writes Captain von Kohl wetter in the Berlin Lnkal Anzeiger, find that attacking transports is especially difficult In the channel. Discussing U-boat warfare possibilities generally, he alludes to a suggestion made to post submarines off various allied harbor entrances. The Idea, he says, "is impracticable because there are not enough submarines.”
