The present national Inertia may be due to this very lack of some national symbol. Every American knows the American eaple stands tor something; that the Star Span gled Banner means a very defi nite thing. But in Russia the eagles of autocracy havn been barred as a symbol. The Russian flag has been discarded". The red flag replaced It. The red flag was a distinct symbol the mark of revolution. It accom plished its purpose. Now the revolution is over and the flag has. lost its meaning. Peace really seems to be the national symbol not revolu tion. The new symbol of "peace" is to be found In the question which is on the lips of the en tire proletariat "what are we fighting for?" By William G. Shepherd. -Petrograd,1 May 17. (U. P.)

Washington, May 17. (U. P.) Tne British admiralty statement that American sailors on the destroyers now operating in the submarine rone had to be loaned sufficiently warm clothing, brought forth two conflicting statements in the case today. Secretary Daniels issued the follow ing list of equipment each man car ried: Heavy winter underwear. Sea boots. Heavy pea coat. Knitted watch caps. Heavy wool socks. Jerseys. Oil-skins. Lambskin jackets. The Navy league said that the first destroyers to gc abroad left in such haste that the sailors. were not suffi ciently clothed against the bitterly cold and foggy North sea climate. League officials said, upon plea from Daniels, they got- women in many sec tions of the country to donate the fol lowing equipment, which has been shipped since the American destroy ers arrived abroad: Heavy woolen sweaters, i Mufflers. Helmet caps. Mittens. Weather coats. , Arctics. Felt knee boots. Stone of Missouri and Oregon Solon Have Hot Argument Over Delays. First to Be Called in September. Washington, May 17. (U. P.)

X 1,260,000 of Germans Are Used in West Greatest Force Ever Called Into Action Massed In Effort Jo Stop Allied Drive. With the French Armies In the Field. May 17. (U. P.) The greatest force of men Germany has ever calletj into action has been massed on the west front In Hindenburg's effort to stop the Franco-British drive. Between April 9 and May 11 there were at least 1,260,000 men engaged on the German side. Headquarters estimates today, based on careful calculations ana eviaence obtained from prisoners and scouting raids, showed In the period mentioned that the German commander-in-chief utilized 84 German divisions. Seven of these were engaged twice In the fighting In this month's period. The greatest previous massing of German forces was around Verdun. The fighting there is probably the nearest comparable to the fierceness of the struggle now progressing in the allied drive. But in the entire year from February, 1916, to February, 1917, the Germans engaged only 56 4 divis ions about 847,500 men using 14 of these twice and six divisions thee times. In a little over a month, therefore, in struggling against the Franco-British drive, Germany has called Into action a force almost double the number of fighters she threw into one year's cam paign against Verdun.

Buenos Aires. May 17. CTT. VA Th I Arsenune government today an- nounced a prohibition on the exporta- tion of wheat. It was the government's second an nouncement of an embargo. The first, ertective early in April, was held in aDeyance through protest of Great Britain, backed by the United States. At that time the British government threatened to cut off all shipments of coal to Argentine. The United States was reported tacitly to have joined In this application of pressure on Ar gentina and the original embargo was changed. x The settlement provided that Eng land should be permitted to purchase an enormous quantity of Argentine wheat, the same to be repaid late in the fall when the Australian1 crop was harvested. Whether the embargo today is with regard to this agreement with England or is an independent step by the re public Is not made known. Circuit Judge George H.

Pipes, whj argued the case on behalf of MrY-Gealbnr, wili.at TJnes ap peal from the decision to the supreme court. Judge Pipes, in support of the peti tion for an injunction, contended that the Bean bill had not been legally en acted because the record showed that the senate amendments had received but 28 affirmative votes, while the con stitution requires an affirmative vote of 31 members In the house. Judge Bingham held that there were two principles of law which defeated the petition for Injunction one that contemporaneous legislative interpre tation of the constitutional require ments is entitled to the force ofJudl cial exposition, and second, that where the question is not free from doubt, that of Itself is a sufficient reason for sustaining the act. The court held that it is not re quired that a roll call be taken and re corded in the legislature by eithe house upon concurrence in the amend ments of the other, and points out that the record shows the senate amend ment to have been concurred in by the house by a vote of 28 to 26 with two absent, and that the bill was aft erwards signed by the speaker of the house, president of the senate and the governor. This record, Judge Bingham holds. Is sufficient to show tha the house concurred in the' senate amendment. The court makes no comment upon the fact that the house Journal shows.

This first amendment in creased the surtax on incomes between $60,000 and $80,000 from 11 per cent as proposed In the bill, to 13 per cent. Lenroot's amendments will add 25' per cent to all the higher surtaxes.
