SEPARATE PEACE WORLD
MENACE, SAYS SOCIALIST
WASHINGTON', April 19.
Meyer London, Socialist Kepresentatlvo
from New York, thinks a separate pfcaco
between Russia and Germany "Inconceiv
able," oven If such a peaco could bo en
gineered by the Socialists of the two na
tions. London branded the so-called Socialist
conference now being held as tinged with
autocracy; Ho Is deeply suspicious of the
move. lie gives three reasons for this be
lief. The first, he says, is that a separate
peace between Russia and Germany would
retard the democratization of Kurope: sec
ond, that tho war cannot be ended while a
"tremendous engine of destruction llko Ger
many" remains; third, Russian Socialists
have been fed on French revolutionary
literature and would not leave tho French
to struggle alone.

SGHEME TO SHIFT DRAFT

Continued from Tsie On

While respecting the Individual view
points of those who oppose selective draft.
President Wilson Is understood to feel that
this Is not nn opportune time for prolonged
discussion of details when It Is vitally
essential to the welfare of the nation to
nilso an army at once.
For that reason It appears likely there
may soon bo something In tho nature of a
blast from the White Houso to Jar Congross
Into action.
Tho President Is expected to resort to his
usual method of putting up to the country
for support question on which ho nnd
some members of Congress differ
Whllo tliln preliminary action occurred
in tho House, Senator McCombcr Introduced
In the Senate an amendment to the Admin
istration measuic, proposing to rnlso the
urmy needed by cnlllng for volunteers pro
portionately from each voting district, nnd
making a resort to draft posslblo onlynftcr

SENATE RECEIVES REPORT FAVORING
WILSON'S ARMY DRAFT PLAN
WASHINGTON. April 19.
Despite determination of tho Houso to
play politics with the Administration's land
defense plans for raising a selective con
script army, the Senate late this afternoon
received from Chairman Chamberlain, of the
Military Committee, a favorable report on
President Wilson's bill.
Tho Chamberlain report denounced the
volunlei'r system as Inadequate, extrav
agant nnd Ineffectual. It pointed nut that
the army, everybody agrees. Is needed
quickly If the nation Is to be defended prop
erly, nnd Is larger than ever asked for
uniler n volunteer system.
SENATOR BORAH OPENS BATTLE ON
NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP MEASURE
WASHINGTON, April 19.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, led tho Republi
can assault on tfio Administration espion
age bill containing the censorship clause
this afternoon by charging Congress was
going far beyond Its constitutional author
ity In seeking to glvo the executive depart
ment power over tho press.
"It Is my Judgment." said Senator Borah,
"that whatever construction may be placed
on tho constitution In Uieso days of some
vhat latltudlnous construction, there can bo
no doubt that those who wrote tile con
stitution thoroughly understood that they
were excluding from the Government tho
power to Interfero with tho press, It was
tho clear Intention of tho framers of the
constitution that tho Government should
havo no power over the press.
"This Kcctlon Is omnipotently compre
hensive, drastic, nebulous In Its meaning,
uncertnln In Its purposes and no man can
tell what Its consequences may bo."
So animated became the debate over the
censorship provision this afternoon that the
Senato took on tho aspect of a class room
in constitutional law. Nearly every Sen
ator was engaged In deep study of tho
constitution. Indications wero that tho de
WOMAN LEADS "PAUL REVERE CALL"
TO AMERICA IN LEXINGTON DAY FETE
NEW YORK, April 19.
Nine Paul Reveres carried a "Wake-Up-America"
message to New York today, start
ing a series of patriotic demonstrations that
are country-wide In celebration of tho bat
tle of Lexington.
Typical of the changed times, the first of
tho nine was a woman, Jean Moehle, who
rode horseback, as did the original Paul
Revere 142 years ago. Tho other eight wero
aviators, who bombarded New York with
posters calling for recruits for tho nrmy,
navy and marine corps.
Clad In the uniform of a Continental sol
dier, Miss Moehle, rodo through tho mists
which hung about tho great buildings of
Broadway nnd Fifth avtnue shortly after
midnight, carrying nn American Hag and
followed by Barnard College girl trumpeters
In automobiles.
"America," "Hall, Columbia" and "Colum
bia, the Gem of the Ocean," chimed In tho
towers of scores of churches at midnight,
was the signal for tho start of tho modorn
feminist nls..t ride to Lexington.
Thousands saw tho girl rider, mounted on
a big gray horse, cheered her and broke Into plctlng patriotic scenes or putting over re
patriotic songs as she clashed by. crultlng nrguments.

are experted to pass quickly after they are
taken up, either late this week or early
next week.
Other congressional steps of today vvero
Introduction of a hill by Representative Mc
Keown, Oklahoma, which would prevent
sale of explosives throughout the war, ex
cept by special license, and Introduction or
a measuro by Representative Avers, Kan
sas, making "nrtinclal speculation" In food
stuffs punishable by n lino of from J500 to
$5000, or sentence of from ono to flvo years
or both.
Shortly after the McKcown resolution was
Introduced, Secretary of tho Interior Lane
submitted t" Representative Foster, chair
man nf tho Houso Mining Committee, a bill
providing for Government supervision over
tho manufacture, sale nnd uso of nil ex
plosives. "Uptown" tho executive end of tho Gov
ernment continued Its war work.
At tho Nnvy Department announcement
was made that building of warships was not
to Impcdo commerce-ship, construction. Sec
retary Daniels issued orders that no spe
cial" hurry need be nttempted ns to building
of ships on the second year of the program.
The department 'believes thut right now
merchant ships In great numbers nro as
essential. If not more so, than wnrshlps.
Tho argument of President Lincoln, used
during tho Civil War In support of the
draft system, was quoted In tho concluding
phrases of the report.
Dlfcusslng the bill. Senator Chamberlain
said:
"While this mensurn establishes selective
cnnsrrlptlon ns t lie moans of raising nn
army, It leaves room for tho operation of
ho much of volunteer system ns In our
judgment is worthy of ndnption.
"It provides for n force of 000,000 volun
teers for lllllnc the regular army and Na
tional Guard units to wartime strength."
bate of tho censorship provision would con
tinue all day.
The Republicans are supporting the
Amendment proposed by Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, slightly liberalizing the cen
sorship Fectlon by limiting Its prohibition
to the publication of information helpful to
tho enemy The old guard and tlio Pro
gressives, heeding Senator Hiram Johnson's
warning that "America In Its tenderness for
democracy nbro.-wl may forget democracy
at home," are standing shoulder to shoulder
against tho Administration proposal, and In
dications today were they would win sulll
cient Democratic votes to their side to beat
It, or radically modify it.
The hill In Its present foim, It was pointed
out today, would confer upon tho Govern
ment authority to Imposo a censorship so
rigid that tho people of the country could
be kept In the dark about the conduct of tho
war In a manner befitting darkest Prussia.
Republican Senators nro fearful, too, that
tho authority contained In the bill might bo
used by olllclals ot the Administration to
even up old scores ngalnst opposition news
papers. Many of those fighting tho censor
ship section openly declared It was in direct
violation of tho constitutional guaranteo of
the right of free speech nnd press.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon eight aviators,
each carrying nn observer, left Hempstead
Plains nnd swept over the city a3 tho day's
famous parado was forming, dropping post
ers calling for recruits for America's new
fight "for universal freedom" and for a
revival of the spirit of '76.
More than forty of tho fnstest aviators
In tho Government service took part In tho
patriotic demonstrations late this nfternoon.
They wheeled over the city in battle forma
tion, "bombarding" it with thousands of
petitions for' a universal military service
law.
Under Colonel Grey, recently In the Brit
ish armies In France, 3000 of our British
Allies, Englishmen now resident In New
York, formed a section of the parado.
Nearly 10,000 school children, carrying
flags, the boys khakl-clad for the most part,
formed another section, and 5000 Boy
Scouts marched, carrying relief kits and
garden tools. Suffragists were out In forco

Only Navy and Army Stations
Under Government Control
Will Remain in Operation
A censored statement received by news
papermen from Captain P. S. Van Boskerclc
today shows moro clearly tho situation re
garding the closing of nil wireless stations.
Ho said that nil stations must close, and
i.. .i... ...v.n that ihn wireless station nt
tho University of Pennsylvania was to bo
left open Is without ground entirely. The
only stations to bo open nre those in tho
Government service.
"Tho nnval authorities aro today vigor
ously enforcing tho order relative .to tho
closing of all radio stations, and to that end
the corps of radio men arc actively nt work.
Apparently some owners of radio outfits do
not havo a clear comprehension of the
meaning of the directions to Immediately
close all stations, whether sending or re
ceiving ones.
To put It more clearly, this means that
all stations of every description, no matter
by whom owned or for whnt purpose main
tained, must send down the aerials, open
nil switches nnd seal them.
The only stations that remain open arc
tlioto under the control of the navy, while
army stations remain open ns a matter of
