ITALY GETS $100,000,000 France to Get Similar Amount in Few Days, Rritiglng Total of Loans to $100,000,000; Pro gramme Nearly Complete. WASHINGTON, May 3. Today Secre tary McAdoo telegraphed the entire list of 27,513 National and state banks and trust companies in the United States Authorizing them to receive subscrip tions for the $2,000,000,000 bond offer ing, enlisting their co-operation and re questing them to telegraph a rough es timate of the amount of bonds each would take for itself and its patrons. The result of the first announcement of the loan has been a deluge of sub scriptions, aggregating many millions. Most of these came in by wire to the Treasury. Virtually every large city and every state in the Union was rep resented in the messages. 9100,000,000 Lrnt to Italy. Negotiations continued today with representatives of the rations to which the United States is extending credit. Count Dl Cellers, the Italian Ambas sador, received the full amount of the first $100,000,000 loan made by this Government to Italy instead of the in stallment of $25,000,000 which had been agreed upon tentatively.

RKVE.ME DIE TOMORROW House Ways and Means Committee Makes Fast Progress. WASHINGTON, May 3. Work on the war revenue bill progressed in the House ways and means committee to day to such a"point that the measure probably will be brought into the House not later than Saturday, with a special rule to expedite its passage. The plan to resort to a rule to limit debate ere ated some surprise. Wine, liquor and beer taxes occupied much of the committee s time today Tentative approval was given the sub committee's proposal to raise the tax on spirituous liquors from $1.10 to $2 a. gallon, and those on beer from $1.50 to $2.50 a barrel, with a proviso that beverages on hand when the law passes shall not be subject to the increased rate. Indications grew stronger today that a, consumption tax affecting sugar, tea and coffee, if not on other articles would be adopted. Rates on freight transportation were tentatively lowered today from 4 to 3 per cent, thi passenger traffic rate be ing left at 4 per cent. BRITISH STILL PUSH ON (Continued From First Pase.) the shell fire until the earth itself was killed bv the poisonous blasts, find no living thing could grow there on, even under this first warm impulse of the -new season. The only melodies were deep-throated roars of cannon the whine of shells and the whistle of bullets. Under the soft light 'of a May moon the British guns roared the artillery preparation at intervals during the night, but it was not until the lunar rays had disappeared behind the west ern horizon that the real bombardment began. $n its intensified form it was of short duration. Then the guns set tled into barrage work as the troops stole out from their forward trenches or shallow shelters hastily dug in the ground during the more recent ad vances- It wae still half an hour before dawn and the morning mists gave a deeper density to the darkness. " Germans Resist Desperately. There was stiff fighting from the very first and everywhere along the line the Germans offered desperate re- i . sistance. Since the battle of Arras began, on Easter Monday, the Germane have concentrated great numbers of guns opposite the British, and lately they have been firing with almost reckless extravagance. Much of the shooting has been absolutely blind . since the British took all the high ridges, the Germans hot being able to get more than momentary observation with airplanes and balloons. This morning the British creeping barrage fire, which swept like a great trellis work of exploding shells in front of the attacking troops, was met by a furious defensive curtain of fire, and for half an hour or more the artillery display was one of the most wonderful seen during the war. At the north of the line the Canadian troops, who oc oupied Arleux several days ago, pushed forward and took Fresnoy. Arleux and Fresnoy had been swathed about with great defensive works and numberless loops of barbed wire. Capture Is Incredulous. The Fresnoy garrison fought with great bitterness, and its was not until the Canadians virtually had surrounded the village that the survivors, cut off, surrendered. The number of prison ers taken here was 200 men and seven officers. One of the officers spoke excellent English, and as a Canadian officer was conducting him to the rear he asked to see the positions from which the Ger mans were driven during the storming of Vimy Kidse on April 9. , He mar- BILLION If! BONDS veiled at the situation. and asked what Canadian division tok the particular position he saw. When told it was the same division which captured him at Fresnoy today he laughed and said he could not believ it. He could not be lieve that any division in the Vimy fight would be able to go on now. and shook his head incredulously when told that all the divisions were still at their battle strength. This same officer asserted that the morale of the troops opposite the Brit ish front was better than during the battle of the Somme. He said that the oerman soldiers now see their air planes about. They also seem to bt getting sorely needed artillery support during the last three weeks. There had been much complaint about the lack of this support, and the infantrymen had begun to regard themselves merely as targets for the British artillery, The officer declared that the feeling was all changed now and that the Germans believe their artillery equal to any. German Sheila Strike Near. Oddly enough. German shells began to pitch about the prisoners' collecting station with deafening reports, so characteristic of the German high ex plosives, and the Germans had to be moved to a safer place. The prison ers taken at Fresnoy all were Prus sians. Two fresh regiments had come into the Fresnoy trenches last night for a great German center attack on Arleux this morning. Needless to say. their plans were a bit upset by the British attack. Good progress was made east of Guemappe along the Arras-Cambrai road, and British troops, pushing their way' through Cherissy, south of thatimltted to the Council of National De- road, swept several hundred yards be yond their first objectives. There was heavy fighting about Fontaine-Les Croisilles and Bullecourt, in which the Australians, took part. There was also more fighting about Oppy. to which the Germans are. still clinging. The wood west of this village is very dense and is fairly bristling with ma chine guns, some of which have been mounted in the trees. This wood is one continuous tangle of barbed wire. stretched from tree to tree. The Ger mans are holding desperately to two woods east of Monchy-Le-Preux, known as the Bois Du Sart and Bols Du Vert, and have connected the two with elab orate trenches. Heavy counter attacks were attempt ed time and again during the day, and from every section of the battle front come echoes of the never-ceasing ar. tillcry duel. LONDON. May 3. According to the P.euter correspondent at British head quarters in France, the latest reports tell o ffierce fighting in Bellecourt. on the outer edge of which the British troops have established themselves, and of a very heavy counter attack, which has driven the British back through Cherisy again. BERLIN, via London. May 3. On the Arras front, says the official report, issued here this evening, "a fresh Brit ish attempt to break through failed. with very heavy losses to the enemy. On the Aisne and north of Rheims the strong artillery duel continued." ARMY BILL AGREED ON APPROPRIATION FOR R EG V LARS BE 2SO,000,000.

NATIONAL SERVICE RESERVE TO FORM Men Not in Army and Women Will Organize for Active Work at Home. BOARD OF 9 WILL DIRECT Among Objcets Will Be to Aid Re cruiting, Establish Labor Clear ing Houses and Get Men for Work on Farms. WASHINGTON. May- 3. Plans for a great National service reserve made up of men not subject to draft into the Army and of women already approved by the War Department, were sub fense today at a conference of the council with state Governors and rep resentatives of state defense councils. The reserve would be headed by a board of nine nationally known men, which would operate through a Na tional committee of members from all the states. UndeT the National com mittee there would be state and dis trict committees and In Washington a permanent headquarters committee would sit to carry on administrative work. Membership of the board of nine has been tentatively accepted, it was an- ounced, by ex-President Taft, Major- General George W. Goethals and Henry btimaon, ex-Secretary of VV ar. The purpose of the organization would be to furnish any military or civic service which could not be performed by enlisted men. When not in active service, reserve members could aid in home defense. They would receive compensation for time spent in Government service. Programme Is Outlined. The defense council today gave the Governors and state representatives an outline of a programme for state as- istance in the conduct of the war. They were told that state defense councils could do these things: Promote patriotic spirit and educate he people to the magnitude of the ask ahead. Aid in recruiting the National Guard. Assist in carrying out the enrollment for the new Army and in determining exemptions from draft. Maintain labor standards. Establish labor clearing-houses. Assist In getting workers to use their "broken time" on the farms. Assist in getting idle men and boys to the farms. Afford facilities In aiding the- Gov ernment to collect revenues. Help float the "liberty loan." Organize central food production committees to work with the state de fense councils. Supply their own food requirements wherever possible." Reduce waste in the home. Members of the Federal Council's organization outlined at length to the Governors steps the Government Is taking to put the country in a state of preparedness. Daniel Willard, chair man of the committee on transporta tion, described the work of the general railroad board, which now is operating the country's railroad lines as one con tinental system. Howard Coffin, chair man of the committee on munitions told of efforts to find facilities for an adequate supply of guns and ammuni tion. Women's Part Aanouneed.

Director , Gifford said, is doing the work of a Government department and in effect is a ministry of munitions. Secretary Redfield, a member of the council, praised business men who are offering their services free to the Gov ernment. Dr. Franklin Martin, of the council's advisory commission and Surgeon-Gen eral Rucker, of the Public Health Serv ice, discussed military and civilian health problems. George Creel, of the Government publicity bureau, urged tliat the people be Informed of what Is transpiring in Government and state circles. A paper by Samuel Gompers. was read, advising that no change be made in present labor standards during the war. Elliott WadHworth, vice-chairman of the American Red Cross, outlining the purposes of the organization, said that six ilea jros3 Hospital units of ISO persons each would go to Europe within a short time. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, chair man of the council's committee on supplies, said the Government was using every effort to Ret uniforms for the new Army, -but that many soldiers would have to wear uni forms of Inferior cloth or spend their first few weeks' In camp In civilian clothes. At present, he said, factories were not making enough Army cloth and the council had been held back becouse of delay in passing the Army bill.

Clerks From Baker Stores Also Are Likely to Be Sent to Farms If Con ditions Become Mack Worse. BAKER. Or.. May 3. (Special.) Women will work side by side with men in the fields of this vicinity this season to help to offset the shortage of farmhands. So serious has the labor question become that ranchers are planning to use female help in all pos sible kinds of work. That such was the plan was indi cated by Archie Murray, a big- Burnt River rancher and livestock man. at the meeting of the Baker Commercial Club to form a Baker County council of the Oregon Agricultural Council 6f Defense. J. K. Larsen, of Oregon Ag ricultural College, had told of the plan to enlist high school boys for farm work. "Girls make mighty good help on the farm, especially country girls," said Mr. Murray. "They can mow. rake, run a hay buck and do other things. I think if we get them into the fields they will greatly help, at least more so than some of the boys who want to hide somewhere and smoke cigarettes." Others told how sheepherders were demanding 180 a month . and board, twice their former wages, while some said that ranchers were now offering $60 a month for common farmhands, and then not getting the class of work ers desired. State control of wages, community aid and the sending of clerks from stores or the closing of stores so that all Bakerites could help in the fields at harvest time were suggested. The Baker County Council of Defense was formed with W. C. Calder, J. F. O'Bry ant and W. F. Meacham. The central committee and a body of 21 from all parts of the county are co-operating. PLANS MADE TO CUT PRICE (Continued From First Pare.) ence to the movement of necessaries. To levy such importation duties as he finds necessary to prevent excessive 'dumping' of foreign products. Cnrb on IJaoor Considered. To impose limitations or prohibitions upon the use of grain in the manufac ture of liquor. In addition, the Secretary of Agricul ture would be empowered to establish standard food grades; to license and control the manufacture, storage and distribution of foods; to prescribe the percentage of flour to be milled from wheat, and to regulate the mixing of wheat flour with other flour in the making of bread and other food. Baalneaa Not to Be Disturbed. In a statement tonight Mr. Lever declared there was nothing In the measure to disturb legitimate business activities, because "it is hoped that the mere conferring of the more extreme new powers will be sufficient without its becoming necessary to exercise them." It is known that officials of the ex ecutive branches of the Government hold the same view. The bill is supplemental to the Ad ministration food measure introduced in the House earlier in the week, pro vldlng for a survey of the country's food resources and conferring certain powers to prevent food speculation, This measure was ordered favorably reported from the agriculture commit tee today after the committee had re duced the appropriation .carried from $25,000,000 to approximately $20,000,000, and eliminated a section authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to order the immediate sale of any food in such condition that unless promptly dis posed of it will become unfit for use. Senate Takes Up Food Problem. The section will be incorporated In a coming third measure which is t confer broad powers on the Council of National defense. iM r. Lever expects to get both of the bills up for action in the House next weeK. "The next bill." said Mr. Lever, "deals with all the necessaries of life. Including foods, shoes,- clothing, fuel and articles required for their produc tion. The measure is intended only to meet the present emergency. It is limited to the period of the war and a sufficient time thereafter for re adjustment. It is based on the war clauses of the Constitution and is ap plicable throughout the country, irre spective of state lines. "The purposes are to stimulate pro duction, to reduce waste, to clear the channels of distribution, to prevent hoarding, to assure fair prices. to eliminate injurious speculations, to prohibit evil practices on exchanges and to protect the public against ex tortion. "The suggested legislation recognizes cfc Merit Only that the war will disturb the normal courses of trade. Accordingly It pro vides machinery, first mor stimulating production and regulating distribution so as to assure a fair profit to those entitled .to it: secondly, for preventing the exploitation of necessaries of life by those who aim to take advantage of the war emergency to amass unearned fortunes. 1th these objects In view, the bill vests wide authority in the Government to control the situation. "It is hoped that the mere confer ring of the more exereme new powers will be sufficient without its becoming necessary to exercise them. There Is nothing in the measure to listurb legitimate business activities. The President is empowered to ef fect preference movements by common carriers to assure an adequate and con tinuous supply of necessaries. He may also prescribe limitations, regulations or prohibitions upon the use of food stuffs In the production of alcohol and of alcoholic or nonalcohlic beverages, and may require reduction of the al coholic content of beverages. Plant May Be ReuulKltloned. "Factories, plants, mines or other es tablishments engaged in producing necessaries may be requistloned and operated by the Government if it be essential. Just compensation for the use is provided. The Government is further authorized to purchase, pro duce or otherwise to procure neces saries and to sell them at cost. "Power is granted to compel holders to disgorge and put on the market necessaries held by them In excess of amounts reasonably needed to supply their legitimate Individual or business requirements for a reasonable time. The President may regulate exchanges, including their practices, quotations and the like. The President Is empowered to fix minimum prices, assuring fair and Just returns to producers or owners when ever he finds such action essential. In such cases the Government will guar antee producers of necessaries within the United States, who act in reliance upon the guarantee, that they will re ceive not less than the minimum price prescribed for their products. A ntl-Dumping; Clause Included. "The bill also contains an anti-dump ing clause. This vests power in the President to find what rates of duty on the Importation of necessaries, for which minimum prices have been pre scribed, are required to prevent flood ing of the American market with such excessive importations as to defeat the practical operation of the minimum price plan. When he determines these rates, by force of the statute itself. they go Into Immediate effect. "Whenever the President shall find that an emergency - exists requiring such action, he is also empowered to fix maximum prices of necessaries, if es sential, in order to prevent extortion. "The Secretary of Agriculture is au thorized to establish and enforce stand ards for grades of food, food materials. reeds, seeds, other agricultural prod ucts and fertilizers, and for the capacity of their receptacles, also to require proper labeling so as to prevent de ception. In addition, he Is given power to license and control the manufac ture, storage and distribution of foods, food materials, and feeds, when essen tial to prevent uneconomical manufac ture or inequitable distribution of the articles. Percentages May Be Prescribed. lie may prescrtbe the percentages of flour which shall be milled from wheat, and. when essential to increase the rood supply, he is authorized to regulate the mixing of wheat, wheat flour or other wheat products with any other cereal, cereal flour or material of vegetable origin In the production of rood." The food situation was foremost again today in the Senate during de bate on the espionage bill's provision to authorize the President to embargo exports. Immediate necessity of an embargo on tinplate for cans needed in preserv ing food products was urged. The embargo clause was opposed by some Senators as unconstitutional and because they contended Congress alone has the responsibility of ordering em bargoes. Senator Shields said he had opposed embargoing rood exports, but now be lleved it necessary because "of present outrageous prices and the great dis tress in the country." Upon suggestion of Senator Lodge, the bill was amended, limiting Its scope. As amended. It would authorize the resident to embargo exports only when required by "public safety" and not aa originally provided, when required also by "public welfare. The latter pro vision. Senator Lodge objected, would give the President ;ower to deal with purely domestic Industry without re lation to the war s prosecution. Another amendment eliminated au thority to discriminate between ports in the ordering of embargoes. "I don't think this country is in any danger of starvation," said Senator Lodge, "but the situation as to the allies Is vastly different. It will not help us to win the war by embargoing food and thus prevent feeding of the armies fighting our battles." Senator Stone characterized the cold storage system as now carried on in this country as public evil. Senator Reed, of Missouri, opposed the embargo because he feared restric tions upon exports might cause pro ducers to curta.ll their crops and also he believed export restrictions were the function of Congress -nv4 not the President.
