Clark Has "Cold Taet." "If Clark did not suffer from con stitutional cold feet he might be presi dent today. At the Baltimore convention enough votes came over in the miaaie of the night to give mm a majority. At his request his supporters caused an adjournment of that convention. The people of nerve who were support ing him said "Go on with the conven tion and you will get enough votes to nominate you before morning.' , "But he wanted an adjournment. I suppose he wanted to go out and call for volunteers. And it Is because of that want of nerve that he Is not sif ting where he could do us immeasur able damage today." "Conscripts and Convicts" Biased. There were hisses when Gerard told how Clark placed conscripts and con victs in the same class. "The German military caste hates the very name America.

Uniform Policy Desired. It is probable that the meeting will result In the adoption of some uniform policy on the part of public service commissions and shippers to meet the present situation.

APPEAL IS MADE FOR STRICT FOOD ECONOMY Would Convert Ireland From Suspicion Without Fur ther Delay. Excerpts From War Speech. London. April 27. (I.N. S.) Following are some of the striking sentences from the great war speech of Premier Lloyd George at Guild Hall to day: The Irish question must be settled immediately. This Is essential to speedy victory. The allies are winning, but must take no chances. If Germany believed she could win by holding out till the end of next year she would do so. England has lost many ships, but Germany's piracy brought the United States into the war. London, April 27. (U. P.) England is winning; the ultimate success of the allies cannot be doutted and that suc cess is being achieved at less and leas cost. But meanwhile England must economize and make sacrifices. Around this text today Premier Lloyd George delivered an eloquent address In formal exercises responding to freedom of the city granted htm by London at the Guild hall. "Victory Is becoming Increasingly assured," he said. And again: "The government la planning the 1918 harvest with S.OM.&OO additional acres available, guaranteeing tnat we would not starve if not a single ton waa Imported. "But we must economizer l Emphasizing the seriousness of the submarine problem, on which- he said: The best brains of Britain and Amer ica were now concentrated." the prime minister appealed to the public for food economy and Increased produc tion, voicing at the-same time the be lief that there would be no necessity for increased food prices. Lloyd George appealed to his audi ence and through them to the British people to lay aside all differences and aid in rettlement of the Irish question. .To have a well knit, powerful em pire," he said, "we must convert Ire land from suspicion that we are a dangerous neighbor into a cheerful. loyal comrade. One essential to a speedy victory Is settlement of the Irish question. Would Settle Question Quickly. "I appeal to the patriotism of all men to sink everything and get the question out of the way." No part of the prime minster's In spiring speech was more enthusiasti cally cheered than this appeal. Coming back to the economy plea again. Lloyd George declared. "We must economize our shipping until some method is discovered of de stroying this ocean basilisk. We have already arranged to obtain three and possibly ' four times as many more ships than we had last year. "Before June, 1915, we lost 84 jruns and a number of prisoners; thereafter we have not lost a single gun. while we captured 400 and. have taken pris oners at a ratio of 10 of the enemy for one of ours. Gains Are Steadily Increasing. "During the first 18 days of the battle of the Somme, we captured 11. 000 prisoners and 64 guns. In the same period around Arras recently we took 18,000 men and 23a guns. Our gains were thus quadrupled. "This means not only ultimate vic tory, but at less loss. Our chances are growing as our equipment is improved. And the Germans know it which ex plains the despair driving them into black piracy on the sea. "America, after great patience, de cided it was no use to wave a neutral flag in the shark's teeth. We have lost many ships, but German piracy brought in America and we are per-; fectly satisfied with the balance." U. S. Army Will Use French Type Guns Washington. April 27. (I. N. S.)

Ware, U.S. Commander of Liner Mongolia's Gun Crew, Report on Battle, London. April 27. (U. P.) Lieuten ant Bruce R. Ware, U. S. N.. comman der of the Mongolia's gun crew, de clared his belief today that the one shot his men fired April 19 at a Ger man submarine did not sink the U boat. "AH we know is that we fired at a hostile vessel with a periscope," he said. "I do not know if we hit the vessel, but we knocked off the peri scope." The reporter to whom the officer made the statement called the Ameri can officer's attention . to the state ment of an eminent British submarine expert that the smashing of a perl scope did not necessarily mean destruc tion of the U-boat. "I do not say the submarine was sunk," Lieutenant Ware rejoined. The British submarine expert re ferred to pointed out that with a pert scope shot away, a submarine could submerge after closing a valve, wait for a favorable opportunity to rise, then replace the periscope and be ready for action again.

All these are to serve for the period of the war. This plan is based upon universal obligation of clticens to de fend their country in the emergency of war. The Kahn amendment seems o be the best solution of the problem arising out of the existing crisis." Representative Austin of Tennessee gained recognition ahead of McArthur and crowded out the Oregon man in offering a Roosevelt volunteer amend ment. The Roosevelt plan to raise a volun teer army was defeated In the house today when Austin's resolution to per mit the colonel to raise a division was voted down 170 to 10. Representatlve McArthur planned to offer an amendment authorirlng ac ceptance of four infantry divisions to be drawn from those who would not be liable under conscription. A. P.
