The pica to the young men of America to enlist was brought out forcibly hy the use of the qutation, "Greater love hath no man than this, that lie lay down his life for his friend." The captain continued to the effect that "if the other fellowwill do that much for you. you should he willing to do it also." Many instances of the Herman atrocities were brought out in Kennedy's talk, and in regard to them he said. "That's (Je .-man kulture. spelled with a K.

Then a flame will sweep over America, and I tremble to think of the result to those who are responsible for it." In concluding, the speaker reiterated his appeal for enlistment, and urged those who remain at home to sehd letters and gifts. "There's nothing so good to see in the trenchtvi as a fellow who has perhaps four or five letters from home. Hut is is sad to see another soldier who has none, and is watching his comrade's enjoyment." he said. "Von can do your share even if you aren't able to go to the front." Capt. Kennedy will return to the lighting line as soon as he is declared fit bv the doctors.

HEAVY WAR TAX TO BE PUT ON LIQUORS WASHINGTON, May 8. In an extended session Monday the house ways and means committee wrote new and drastic liquor and inheritance taxes into the war revenue bill. hut adjourned Monday night still in disagreement over many sections and about $200,000000 short of the Sl.SO'0,000,000, it has voted to raise. The leaders hope to complete the measure Tuesday and a proposed retroactive income tax amendment, which would yield $140,000,000 during the coming year and other far reaching proposals are held in abeyance to be inserted at the eleventh hour, if necessary to make up the desired total. Several members of the house, including at least one member of the ways and means committee, already are planning to carry their fight for changes in the bill to the senate finance committee as son as hearings on the senate side begin, probably next week. Proposed taxes on whiskey were increased by th.:. committee from $1.10 to 2.20 a gallon and on beer from 1.50 to $2.75 a barrel., The amount of exempt liquor in a dealer's possession at the time the law becomes effective was reduced from an unlimited quantity to 50 gallons. These changes, it is predicted, will result in almost $50, 00i00f additional revenue. BERLIN EXPECTED TO MAKE PEACE TERMS SOON COPF.NHAGlvX, via Txmdon. May S.

LANSING PUTS LID ON STATE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON. May v. The usual channels of information through which news- of American relationships to foreign powers have up to now reached the public were closed Monday by Sec'y Lansing. An order bearing his name was distributed broadcast to state department officials instructing them not to talk with newspaper men "even on insignificant matters of fact or detail." Henceforth, under the order, the press will not be able to discuss the back ground of complicated international questions with the experts at the heads of each bureau. Only Two Sources. The order says that hereafter all news of the department must be piven out either by the secretary himself or by the newly created socalled bureau of foreign intelligence. Sec'y Imtdng- sees the newspapermen twice daily, hut does not pretend to be able to answer the maze of questions which every hour of the day is raised by newspaper cables. The meetings are becoming more and more perfunctory. The bureau of foreign intelligence is about a month old and is charged not only with supplying the press but with supplying news to all American missions abroad. Usually very much behind the press cables because of the need of coding and decoding, the bureau, at the same time, because of its relative lack of authority, confines itself mostly to formal statements on news facts and does not attempt to provide the background or explanation which give international news its real value. Sec'y Lansing in discussing the order tonight said that the present situation was entirely too delicate for the various bureau chiefs to be giving out information, lie said he recently had learned that some matters which he had not wished published had come out through newspapermen seeing various officers and he did not feel that they should expect to continue such visits undco the present situation. EXPORT EMBARGO CLAUSE PUT BACK IN SPY BILL WASHINGTON. May Unqualified authority for proclamation of export embargoes by the president was restored to the administration espionage bill by the senate Monday after Democratic Leader Martin had explained behind closed doors that Pres't Wilson feared he would be unable to accomplish the ends desired under the section as it had been modified. The provision as it now stands would empower the president during the war when "the public safety shall require" to proclaim it unlawful to export articles to any "country named". Last week the senate voted to authorize embargoes only against through which goods were found to be reaching the enemy. Monday's action was preceded by a five hours debate in executive session during which, for the first time since the United States went to war v:ith Germany, there was vigorous and long continued criticism of Pres't Wilson. Republicans led the attacks, which were not directed at the president's conduct of the war, but at his failure to consul1, with members of congress about the legislation propos-ed to enable him to successfully carry it on. CAN RID SEAS OF U-BOATS French Marino Minister Says War Aprainst Subs Xot Hopeless. International News Service: ROME, May 8. It is possible to solve the submarine problem, according to the view held by Rear Admiral La Caze, French minister of marine. In an interview in the Giornale D'Italia todaj-. Admiral La Caze said that the war against Germany's U-boats is by no means hopeless. England, he said, is concentrating her attention upon th's menace with success and that it is understood means will soon be found to sweep the submarines from the seas. tliiMiiiniiiimiiiiimiiuiiiiimiiiiiiiiiirj I Farmers Trust Co.
