SENATE VOTES FOOD CONTROL
ENGLAND ADOPTS REPRISALS FOR RAIDS
CRACKERS AFTER LAST GAME WITH VOLS
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—England is
to adopt measures of reprisal for
the murderous German air raids
over thit and other British cities,
it was announced in Parliament
today.
For/some time the British peo
ple Wave been clamoring for re
taliatory air raids over German
. cities, Berlin itself if possible.
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—Premier Lloyd
Seorge, in a speech in Queenshall this
afternoon, replied to Dr. Georsge
Michaelis, the German Chancellor, by
gaying:
. “Those responsible for German af
fairs have declared for a continuation
of the war. The junkers have thrown
the former chancellor into the waste
heap. But it will not be long until all
junkerdom follows him there.”
The Premier reiterated his previous
statement that Belgium must be re
stored, and predicted that if the sub
-Iharine is not eliminated this war will
Le followed by an even bloodier one.
Premier Lloyd George said that
Germany would be harboring an illu
pion if she believed that England
would quit fighting before her war
aims are attained.
His utterance about the submarine
gituation was not overly optimistic,
but he added that the menace was
gradually pecoming reduced.

For Spoils of War
(By International News Service.)
AMSTERDAM, July 21.—Although
Chancellor Michaelis failed to state
Germany's peace terms, the impres
sion was prevalent here today that he
favors only a peace with annexations
and indemnities,
Germany, under the leadership of
Chancellor Michaelis, is apparently
determined upon war aims which
might be summed up in a general way
as follows:
:_ An indemnity from England.
2. Annexation of parts of the
(ccupied territory of France and
Belgium,
3. A compact guaranteeing “the
freedom of the seas.”
4. An extension of Austro-Hun
earian sovereignty along the Adri
atic coast,
5. Poland to be an autonomous
gtate under “German prntP(‘ltion."
6. Annexation of part of Serbia
by Bulgaria
7. Extension of Hungary's bor
ders into Roumania.
5. A general European commer
cial treaty establishing the “equat
rights of all nations to trade.”
9. A revision of The Hague Con
vention.
That the new Chancellor is in sym
pathy with the junkers is made pretty
evident from the attitude he adopted
toward the United States. Dr. Mi
chaelis minimized the part that Amer
jca could play in the war, and his ef
forts to make an impression in that
direction were so obyious that the im
pression is gaining ground in Holland
that he haa an-ulterior motive in do
ing so.
The new Chancellor is much differ
ent 'n appearance from his predeces
sor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg was tall and
straight as an arrow, with a long, in
tellectual face. Dr, Michaells {g small
of stature and his head and face are
g 0 large they seem out of proportion
to the rest of his body. Although the
tenseness of his attitude gives the im
} pression of inward force, the new
' C‘hancellor seldom raises his voice or
tries to give emphasis to it.
Dr. Michaelis is a firm believer in
the military strength of Germany and
in the effectiveness of the submarine
war.

Officials in Britain
S Huge Figures
On Shipping Losses
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—British of
ficials todgy laughed to scorn a
report cabled from the United
States that the Allies are lcsing
1,600,000 tons of shipping monthly
through submarines and mines.
“It's laughable, absurd,” de
clared Lord Rhondda, of the Brit
ish Government.
“Even to say that England alone
is losing 600,000 tons monthly is a
gross exaggeration. The whole
thing is bunkum.”
In British official circles the be
lief is general that Germany's
submarine war has proved a flat
failure.

COPENHAGEN, July 21.—Disord
ers in Petrograd, mutiny at the front,
and further resignations from the
Russian Cabinet have aroused anew
the anxiety over Russia that was
prevalent before the Russians started
their offensive on the Eastern front.
Official advices from the Russian
capital tell of the mutiny of Russian
lroziments on the firinz line in Galicia.
Near Brody and Halicz, Russian reg
iments that were holding important
positions, fell back upon the eve of
German attacks, allowing the Teu
tons to carry out successful attacks
and round out their successes.
It is now recognized by a large
‘number of Russian officers that the
Iplan of ruling the troops by com
‘mittees is a failure. It has bred in
subordination and if the soldiers
want to disregard commands in a
crisis, they are able to do so with
virtual impunity.
With the crumbling of discipiine,
the iron-drilled soldiers of Germany
have been able to sweep forward into
important Russian positions. The
Germans are delivering heavy at
tacks along the Dvina River, and in
Volhynia violent artillery battles have
developed.
Kerensky is now almost the whole
Government of Russia. In addition
to holding the posts of Minister of
War and Marine, he has succeeded
Prince ILvoff as Premier. Prince
Lvoff has been Premier ever since
the Provisional Government was
formed immediately after the revolu
tion. His resignation adds to the
pessimism felt in neutral countries
over the whole Russian situation.
Many of the followers of Lenine,
the agitator largely responsible for
the recent rioting in Petrograd, have
been arrested. Evidence has been dis
covered, it was said today, to show
that some of them are German agents
and that they have been receiving
money from Germany by the way of
Stockho!m.
A woman named Sumenson, at
whose home a number of Lenincites
were hiding, was taken into custody.
AJAX RUBBER PROFITS.
An increase of 59.07 per cent in sales

pany. Net earnings were $1,257,461

WASHINGTON, July 21.—The
Senate this afternoon passed the
food control bill.
The vote was 81 to 6.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—8 y a
vote of 72 to 12, the Senate this
afternoon accepted the Pomerene
amendment authorizing the Pres
ident to take control of coal at
the mouth of the mines and to di
rect the Federal Trade Commis
sion to fix prices from the pro
ducer to the ultimate consumer,
The amendment takes the con
trol of coal out of the hands of
the food control committee.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, July 21.—The five
weeks' fight over the food control
bill, described as the most revolu
tionary in the history of the Ameri
can Congress, drew to a close today
and the measure will come to a vote
before the Senate adjourns tonight.
Indications are that the bill will
be passed in substantially the form
indorsed by the bi-partisan confer
ence of leaders. It will contain some
radical differences from the House
bill, particularly on the prohibition
issue, and considerable time will
elapse before it can be adjusted in
conference. If the bhill goes to the
President within two weeks, leaders
will consider that excellent time has
been made.
There is a general understanding
that no attempt is to be made to re
vive the prohibition issue before the
final roll call is taken. Senators have
agreed to allow the question to be
fought out in conference. The main
points of issue between House and
Senate are whether beer and wine
shall be included in the prohibition
and whether the President shall be
directed by the Smoot ammendment to
commandeer all spirits in bond.

| By DAVID M. CHURCH.
' Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—“ Within
five days they can begin making sol
diers.”
Provest Marshal General Enoch H.
Crowder made this statement today,
speaking of the work of the loeal
bLoards,
‘1 am glad the. stress is nearly
over! the general said, *but we still -
have « big task hefore us getting the
official lists out to the local distriet
boards. They will be sent out very
Soon. We will expedite the work and
within five days they can begin mak
ing soldiers, at least in most of the
eastern districts.”
Sleepless for more than thirty
hours, General Crowder was busy to
day doing everything to expedite the
final steps of the national work in
connection with the draft.
Official tally sheets are being
checked by expert clerks. Already
| proof sheets of the early numbers '
drawn have been returned and Gen
eral Crowder and his staff are deen
in the work of pre paring the lists for
‘the local boards.
Big Task Is Faced.
With 10,500 numbers drawn and &
majority of the districts having no
numbers above 3,000, the task of pre
paring lists for each distriet is oner
ous. General Crowder will probably
have lists made for all distriets be
tween naught and 1.000: between 1,-
000 and 2.000; between 3,000 and 4,-
000, and so on The local distriet
boards can then do the final culling
off of all numbers higher than the
highest number within their Jurisdie
tion
There is the greatest satisfaction
in Washington today over the draft
and its operation.
“I am pleased that the public has
received it so well,” Gieneral Crowder
said today. “Everyone seems to une
derstand it and everyone seems to
feel that it has been fairly done,
‘To the newspapers of the country
I must alse give my thanks It was
vital that every man, eligible for the
draft, should know how the drawing
of the numbers affected him. The
only agency which could do this serv.
Ice was the press associations and
the newspapers in each locality. This
morning 1 have seen what they have
done, and it is wonderful.”
Clerks Labor Continuously,
Many of the clerks engaged in
checking the tally sheets have been
working continuously since the actual
drafting began, .at 9:30 o'clock yes
terday morning Arrangements are
being made for their relief and an
other corps of experts will be put to
work so that there may be no delay.
It will he well into tonight before
the final sheet is checked and sent
to the printer,
While General Crowder did not eare
to speculate this morning on when
the local boards would get the list
of numbers as drawn, he intimated
they would bé ready for distribution
by Monday at the latest,
Somewhat tired by an ordeal of six
teen hours and thirty-three minutea
utilized in apportioning the standing
of the 10,000,060 eligibles for the new
national army, which ended at 2:18
this morning, General Enoch C, Crow .
der, provost marshal general, hit his
desk a few minutes after his usual
hour today, ready for the “next step.”
The work of notifying each exemp
tion board in the eountry of the
standing of eligibles is well under
way, The official lists are being sent
forward, So soon ss they are in ‘the
hands of e offi~ials the work of
physical examination will be com
meneoed, The hoards also will eonsid
