Despite opposition 1v labor members and by Sir Henry Dalziel, a radical Liberal, the House of Commons today gave a second read ing to the Ministry of Munitions bill, and then sent the bill to the committee of the whole. The committee said the salary of the Minister of Munitions, who would be David I.loyd Ueorge, would not exceed 5000 tS25.000). The opposition to the measure was on the ground that it was in effect a measure for the conscription of British lubor. The bill will be discussed fur ther tomorrow by the House, when Pre mier Asquith has promised a detailed announcement concerning the Rovern menfs attitude on recruiting and the munitions question. J. 11. Thomas, a labor member, who was the last to speak on the bill at today's session, said that if the muni tions measure was passed it is incum bent on the government to give an eurances that any relaxation in trade union rules should be only for the dura tion of the war. Labor Offers Conrnulo. The government." said Mr. Thomas, "will not get what it wants by putting a pistol at labor's head. Liet the gov ernment say what it wants and the labor leaders and the workers will quickly rectify any mistakes that have been made." Fremlur Asquith announced that the response to Field Marshal Karl Kitch ener's appeal for 300,000 recruits had been satisfactory. Alluding to the Intervention of Italy, Mr. Asquith said: "During half a century there never ha3 been a shadow of discord between the two nations. We regard her as one of the custodians of the free traditions trt Europe. We warmly grasp the hand of Italy and welcome her gallant sailors and soldiers as fellow comrades in the (truggle on which the liberty of the world depends." Newspapers Assailed. Frederick J. Kellaway, Liberal mem ber for Bedford, asked "whether the rovernment has the power of stopping the mischievous campaign of a group of newspapers which endeavored to pre vent men from joining the army by re fusing to publish Lord Kitchener's ap peal for more men and violently at tacking its conditions, and whether the government was aware that these at tacks came from the same source as did the recent attacks on Lord Kitchener." Harold J. Tennant. Parliamentary under-secretary for war. replied: "The action of these journals has stimulated response to Lord Kitchener's nppeal. It Is believed the men required will be rapidly available." Mr. Tennant's answer was greeted With cheers. Mr. Kellaway asked assurance from the coalition government that "this ma lignant press will not be able to con tinue its attacks on the leaders of the cation." Mr. Tennant. however, said h; thought this action was not necessary.

Accumulated mails were sewt from Vera Cruz by this train. Secretary Bryan was notified today that the revolt against Carranza au thorities In the territory of Quintana Itoo was short-lived.

This plea is based on the contention that he committed an act of war. and consequently was beyond the jurisdic tion of the United States courts.

It is to be a "happy medium" between the Fox Trot, the Canter Waltz and the One-Step, on the one hand, and on the other, the good old-fashioned waltz and two-step of bygone days.

IRON RODS USED IN BATTLE Opening of Arctic Seaport Is Ex pected by Military Observers to Relieve Situation Causing Defeat by Teutons. WASHINGTON. June 7. Reports from various sources have convinced military experts of the truth of as sertions that recent Russian reverses have been due in a large measure to a shortage of ammunition. Until the harbor at Archangel was opened by ice breakers late in May, Russia was without a port through which ammunition could 'reach her shores. Russian factories are said here to be limited and unimportant, so the only avenue through which munitions were reaching the country in quanti ties was the trans-Siberian Railway. Japan Withhold Monitions. Japanese ammunition factories sup plied practically all their output to the Russians early in the war. But the disagreement between China and Japan over, the Japanese demands and the prospects of war in the Far East caused Japan to hold its war supplies in reserve temporarily, reducing traffic in munitions over the trans-Siberian route to the products of American factories reaching the Far East. The average time passengers allow for the trip from Vladivostok to Petro grad in times of peace Is 11 3ays. Only a limited portion of the railway through Siberia is double tracked, con sequently freight shipments are neces sarily slow, even, when all other traffic is sidetracked to make way for war munitions. Freight Traffic Is Slow. Shipments from the United States must be carried from San Francisco on freight steamers which take at least a month for the trip to Vladivostok. It is said, too, that there have been many difficulties In timing American ship ments so as to keep the Russian forces supplied -with shells when the supply from Japan fails them. Well-authenticated reports indicate that artillery pieces and rifles, as well as shells and cartridges, were lacking among the garrison which lost Przemysl to the Germans. In some cases Russian troops are said to have been armed with onlv crowbars and steel rods. In lieu of bayonetted ruies tor use in hand-to-hand con flicts. After the port of Archangel has been open a few weeks longer, military ex perts believe Russia's problem will be solved. MERCHANT SHIPS WANTED Senator Underwood Says Soulli Vould Kscape Depression'.

Officer and 10 Men Sarroanded y Ger man Reported to Have Held Ground Until Night. LONDON, June 7 The exploit of a British soldier who lay in the crater made by a shell and hurled back at the Germans bombs which' they tossed Into the excavation to kill him. is related in a dispatch from the front, under date of June 4, from the official ob server attached to the British army as' given out in London tonight.

"The Germans knew where he was, but could not shoot him, and were prevented by our rifle fire from approaching. They therefore contented themselves with lobbing hand grenades into the crater.

At night he managed to crawl safely back to our lines." Another incident described by the official observer-has to do with an of ficer and 10 men who, when the Ger mans stormed and captured British trenches near Ypres, refused to retire.
