Massachusetts already has appropriated a like amount for -i similar purpose. The Stern bill Is patterned after the Mnssachu sette act, and provides that the State shall fiay to every Pennslvanla man who goes nto active sen Ice the sum of 110 each month, and If he has any dependents, they shall recetvo In addition $40 each month. A one of the first actunl stops toward preparedness for war Governor Brumbaugh last night sent lotters to nil of tho school directors, superintendents and teachers throughout the State, urging them to form "farming" clubs among the pupils during the coming summer and to call upon the State Board of Agriculture and Stato Col lege for assistance. State aid for an Increase in food produc tion Is provided for In a bill Introduced In the House last night by Representative James O. Dell, of Huntingdon. Ills bill pro vides that a commission of Ave members, three of whom must bo farmers, shall be appointed by the Governor to sell "potato, bean and wheat," seeds to farmers through out the State. An appropriation of 150,000 Is provided for a start. The farmers are to agree to either return to tho commission an equivalent amount of seed, or to pay for what they received In cash. Should they return seed, the commission Is supposed to sell It next spring. The Legislature last night unanimously Indorsed the resolution In Ilussla and re joiced with that country In adopting the democratic form of government. The resolu tion was Introduced by Representative Fletcher "W. Stltes, of Montgomery County. U. S. WMNot Enter Formal War Alliance Continued from Fasn One Yesterday afternoon M. Jusseiand, tho French Ambassador, and Sir Cecil Spring like, tho British Ambassador, saw Sec retary I-aiifclnK. Although eome of the most prominent Government officials will not concede that anything of tho kind is likely, the chances are that the United States will enter Into u gentleman's agreement with the Entente Allies, which will be assur ance that tho Entente may count on tho United States to do its part in co-operation with It In a military and economic, way to bring down the German Govern ment in defeat. It is known that several members of tho Cabinet are in hearty sympathy with tho plan of having: a complete arrange ment to Insure the utmost harmony of program and action. For the present there appears to be a disposition not to agitato the 'subject, and It Is probable that the Entente Governments reallzo this, and arc willing to let tho Adminis tration take its own time In determining what is tho best course to follow in bring lng about co-operative action. In denying a report that he had been in consultation with the naval attaches of Entente Governments Secre tary Daniels said that he did not care to make Any statement along that lino, other than that there would be co operation and concert between the United States and the Governments of the En tente in conducting operations. Mr. Dan iels's remark Is legarded as confirming the understanding obtained elsewhere that In a military and naval way at least the United States would go to the limit of Its capacity in helping Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Japan vanquish uermany. REAL EXCHANGES YET TO COME It Is known that representatives of the United States are already In touch in an Informal wuy- with Entente Governments with a lew to obtaining some Idea of what Is expected of this Government In flshting the war. Tho foundation for business ar rangements that will tend to expedite the shipment of supplies and transportation of troops Is also being laid unofficially. The real exchanges between the United States nnd the Entente Governments, have not been begun, howeer, nnd will not be. It Is understood, until all parties have had an opportunity to gle mature tonslderatlon to plans of co-opcratlon pioposed. At the same time It Is not going too far to say that great surprlso will be created when it Is known how much progress has been made In the direction of .reaching an understanding designed to prove to the ad vantage of all the anti-German forces. The military and naval situation as far as It afTects the United States Government Is comparatively simple of adjustment. For the present the United States will not at tempt to send troops 'to Europe, but will confine Its assistance to naval co-operation and the extension of financial help to the Entente Powers. The political aspect of tho new relations Into which this Government has entered with Great Britain nnd the other nations engaged In fighting Germany presents problems that must be handled with the greatest care, horfevor. Ofllclnls approached with reference to this phase of the mat ter showed great reticence and Indicated that they were not prepared to discuss It. NO "SEPARATE PEACE" PACT Ono opinion held In the best Informed quarters Is that the Entente Governments will not seek to obtain from the- United States a treaty agreement similar to those which they have entered Into among them selves not to make a separate or premature peace with Germany and her allies. It Is recognized in European chancellories. It Is believed here, that tho United States occu pies a special position and Is bound by tra dition and principles which would not make It feaslblo for this Government to enter Into any such convention, at any rate for the present and the Immediate future. nr.it i ?t, " .(' s - $1000 Fire at Bridgeport, Pa.

' - 'PEfcSON i i CongrejsB Gets Big Budget Thursday Continue! from Pate One Insist upon estimates mora In detail than those submitted by Secretary McAdoo when ha requested war appropriations of more than $3,400,000,000. Tho legislative program in the House calls for tho consideration of a part of tho revenue legislation during the pres ent week. It Is not expected appropria tion bills will be reported by tho Appro prlatlons Commltteo r a. week more. After a conference with tho Secretary of the Treasury Representative Ralney, ranking Democrat of tho Ways nnd Means Committee, In tho absence of Chairman Kltchln, announced n $5,000, 000,000 bond Issuo measure would bo ready for presentation to tho House on Thursday. Consideration of tho bill will bo undertaken by tho commltteo on Wednesday. This tremendous bond Issue which may bo an Initial one contemplates a loan of threo billion dollars to the Allies and the remaining two billion dollars will be used for tho conduct of the war by this country. Supplementary taxation legislation is to fol low the bond-lssuo bill. It Is agreed that the first thing to be undertaken by this county Is tho financial assistance of tho Allies and can bo more quickly brought about by a bond Issue. After tho bond Issue shall have been approved by the House the revenue-raisers of the Ways and Moans Commltteo, who now have dozens of plans under considera tion will turn to taxation bills. That the wealthier classes will pay most of the taxes before the House Committee resorts to such measures now seems leasonably certain. Nevertheless, It l realized that virtually every form of Internal taxation must he utilized should It boconie apparent that the participation of this country In the Euro pean strugglo hi to be a long-drawn-out participation. It Is understood today that Chairman Kltchln, of the Ways had Means Commit tee, Is to be accorded tho courtesy of pre senting the revenue bills to tho House. Mr. Kltchln, who voted against the war resolu tion, will be relieved of the burden ot steering the war measures through should he so desire. In the event of Mr. Kltchln's declination of or distaste for the task tho revenue bills probably will be handled by Mr. Ralney and Mr. Hull. A working agreement has been leached between tho Committee on Appropriations nnd the Committees on Military and Naval Affairs. Ordinarily those two Utter com mittees might claim Jurisdiction of the ap propriation blll for the augmented army and navy which -vv 111 run Into billions but the Appropriations Committee Is to be the war budget committee of the House. Chairman Padgett has Introduced an tlons Committee, said the sjstematlc plan to be followed by the House committees should be adopted throughout fhe Govern ment. The House committee has put aside the ordinary Jealousies of committee Juris diction and there is; a general agreement the Appioprlatlon Committee shall become the budget committee during the war. The Judiciary Commltteo has begun the consideration of the Administration's es pionage bill to punish spying nnd traitorous conduct In time of wai This bill will be followed by the censoishlp bill, which will give the Government war-time super vision of the malls, telegraph nnd tele phone, newspapers, letteis an J other means of communication.
