They detailed widespread efforts by labor Unions and Socialist leaders to uvott any tie-up in Germany. Just how far tho general strike agita tion has gone In the Kaiser's empire and how many workmen will Join in the dem onstration has been successfully ronccnlcd fcy tho German censorship. What dotalls have come out of Oermuny aro contradic tory. Dispatches from Holland asserted that German Socialists, were working against the strike and quoted Count von Reventlow, In the Berlin Tngeszeltung, as denying that the Socialists weio aiding in uppresslng the strike scheme. As against this, other Berlin Information asserted that the Socialist organ Vnrvvacrts today warned Its readers In llaring typo not to Join any movement which would curtail the output of munitions. "May 1 may be a -fateful date for de mocracy In Germany," declared tho news paper Germanla, Conservative Catholic organ. Most Interest here centered on what inav happen In Austria-Hungary. For weeks past ever since news of the Russian rev olution reached Lmpcror Karl's people there have been persistent Illinois of peace moves from the dual monarchy, and It Is known the nation is suffering greatly from lack of food and general weariness with war. The general strike In the Central Um pires Is primarily to voice protest of the people against Insufficient food. Accord ing to best available information, the strike leaders count only upon a tie-up of nil In dustry for twenty-four hours simply to how the people and the Governments the strength, of the wnikmen and the necessity for listening to their complaints. Mflltary preparations to cope with e k pected violence during the May Day dem onstrations were completed today by various governments throughout Europe On account of the growing vigor of the Socialist peace movement In some countries, May Day this year takes an unprecedented political Importance Extremoly serious situations face the Swedish, German and Austro-HungarUn Governments. A dispatch from Copenhagen ays that great bodies of troops have been massed at Stockholm and other Swedish Cities- , May Day celebrations in Spain consti tute a big eent In the national life of Spanish workers, and this ear the impor tance of tho day has been Inci eased by tho unrest prevailing among workmen thiough out the country For weeks Spain has been menaced by the possibility of a general strike. There will bo a big May Day manifesta tion by Russian workmen In Petrograd In tho fear that the followers of Nicholas Le nlne may try to taek advantage of the oc casion for a demonstration in favor of a eparate peace with Germany and Austria many of them have been arrested. Dispatches from Paris statu that no trou ble is feared there, nor has May Day ever been much of an Institution In Kngland. V. S. KEEPS CLOSE WATCH ON MAY DAY EVENTS WASHINGTON. April 30 The Socialist movement. Impotent for three years, will force n test of whether it can get back again as n vital political force tomorrow. A JIay-day strike, called for Austria, Germany and all of neutral Scan dinavia, will be attempted. Otllclals here frankly say the outcome ,may be very Im portant to this country so far as the dura tion of the Kuropcun war Is concerned Officials point out that Internal disturb ances have been controlled in nil of tho nations affected because the military has teen all-powerful. A successful demonstra. tlon In Sweden, however, very probably will overturn the Government. In Austria such a development easily might mean tho conn, terpart of the Ituslan revolution. In Ger many It Is felt here that tho only effect would be to lay tho groundwork for a con certed movement for peace.

BOARD HAS WAR FINANCE PLAN Urges Biweekly Sale of Bonds in Blocks Until All Are Sold MONEY DEMANDS GREAT WASHINGTON'. April 30. Demands for motipy to prosecute the war against tlermany both on the part of the United States and of the Kntente Allies nre comlni? so rapidly that tho Federal He serve Hoard today laid before Secretary of tho Treasury McAdoo a plan for preten tious emergency flnancltiB The board rec ommended that the Tieasury Issue a block of Treasury certificates every two weeks until the war bondf are wild. Such blocks should range from tisn.ono.non to $200. 000 000 The board pointed out that such a system would not only provide the ftinis needed quickly, but would place In the hands of the banks of the country securi ties which they can exchanse for tho war bonds when thev are ready. This would prevent any sudden drnln on the Investment fund of the country which ordinarily would he caued by the unloading "f 11 Iiuko bond issue. Secretary .McAdoo looks favorably upon thn plan and In all probability will adopt It, Issuing blocks of certificates nt lesular Intervals, allowing a three or four day In terval for subscriptions tn come in before closing the offer. The Federal Reserve Hoard today opened negotiations with the financial members of tho French mission. The board entertained at luncheon M rnenav, M Do Neufllzo and SI Simon and illhcussed with these of ficers the needs of thn French and the best method of meeting them. It was definitely learned today that tho long fight of tho Federal Iteserve Hoard to get Stato banks nnd trust companies to Join the Federal He herve Hoard system Is nbout won Tho board has received assurances that those Institutions aro preparing to flock to the system upon the passage of the amend ments tn thn Federal Iteservo art now pend ing in Congress. These amendments will strengthen the gold holdings of tho Fed eral Reserve system and glvo certain privileges to State bank members. Under the law national banks only nre compelled to Join the Hytdem. Slembcrshlp is voluntary with State banks, nnd thoso banks have not Joined the system, pic turing to be fne of Federal control. Now, however the piospect of altered banking conditions under the war and the new amendment, ate causing the banks to rush to the shelter of thu reserve system. The board has lecclved assurances that the big State banks and Must companies in New Yoik. Chicago. St Louis. Detroit, SII1 vvaul.ee. Kansas Oltv San Francisco, Port land, Ore. : Seattle and Spokane will Join the system as foon as the amendments aro passed, and It Is expected that State banks and trust companies in other large cities will do likewise. This action will gieatly stiengthen the position of the system and make war financ ing easier by connecting up the entire bank ing si stem of the count! y, except for small Instances, into one unit This united ptrength will bn more wleldy than the dls iiigaiilzed banking system which heretofore has obtained and will make thn marketing of tho war bonds a smoother operation.

HOT CLASHES MARK LAMAR'S PLOT TRIAL Lawyers for "Wolf of Wall Street" Charge Discrim ination NEW YORK, April 30. That Government officials nre preventing his client from obtaining a fair trial by preventing him from consulting his attor neys and witnesses was the charge made by counsel for David Lamar, the "wolf of Wall Street," when his trial was resumed today. Captain Franz von Rlntelen, so-called head of the German propaganda In the I'nlted States, and sK others also arc Jointly on trlnl with Lamar, accused of con spiring to violate the Sherman anti-trust law by fomenting strikes In plants manu facturing munitions for the Entente Allies! Counsel for Lamar specifically objected to Tombs official bringing the prisoner Into court handcuffed and preventing him from holding lengthy conversations with his ut torneys and witnesses. Isaac Geland, special prosecutor for the Government, explained the handcuffing and heavy guard on Lamar wero necessary for his own protection, intimating threats had been made on tho life of the prisoner, Lamar Is expected to reveal much of the Insido woiklng of the German propagan dists when he takes the stnnd Hot verbal passages between counsel for the defendants and Federal prosecutors re sulted In Judge Cushman's ordering that all objections In the future bo delivered to him In writing. Counsel for Von Rlntelen and the other defendants strenuously opposed a Joint hearing of the Indictments, contending the publicity attending Lamar's previous trial precludes their receiving an unprejudiced hearing. The examination of Jurymen was begun shortly before the order for noon ad journment. Evidence of far-reaching and Incriminat ing Importance Is expected when von Rln telen takes the stand. He has been cred ited with being tho "brains" of tho German propaganda, and Is said to have expended more than 6,000,000 In the United States since the outbreak of the war. Von Rlntelen was a close friend of the Kaiser and came to tho United States In' 1914 with credentials to some of the most prominent persons, financially and socially, In the United States. He has declared his willingness to re veal his entire work tn this country and already has made lengthy and damaging statements to Federal attorneys which are expected to lead to the Indictment of sev eral persons of note. . Ho was brought back from London by Scotland Yard officials last week after he had escaped from the United States on an Irregular passport. Dewey Day Tomorrow; Hatty Out Your Flags!

Tho war-time drive fur prohibition which has been conducted energetically nnd silent ly In-Washington since America Joined the conlllct, found open expression here today Governors of several dry Stats who nre now In Washington have combined with leading agriculturists In urging the sup pression of the drink tialllc not alono for the mni.il end to bo obtained, but as a food-saving measure The millions of bush els of grain that nnntullv go Into the manu facture of liquor, they urge, would better be turned Into edible products Included nmong those now here nre Gov ernor Harris, of Georgia , Governor Tapper, of Kansas; Victor Murdock and William Allen White, of Kansas ; Judge Hon H. Lindsay, of Denver; Senator Smith, of South Carolina; Senator Cummins, of Iowa; flmrles Edward Russell, of New York ; Henry Ford, of Detroit, nnd Representative Parks, of Georgia. A meeting probably will be called soon to map out 11 dellnlte plan. The move for prohibition has received a great Impetus through the Senate's action on Saturday, when it literally "climbed on the wagon" Itself nnd then got down again. The vote on tho I'nderwood amendment In the Senate, which proposed that Congress, men lefrain from di Inking In war time, showed that tho temper of that body un doubtedly is for prohibition. The acquisi tion of civilians and State officials to tho causo has given tho "dry" element In both houses of Congress confidence that If tho measure can be brought directly before the national legislators it will be passed. An audience with Ptesldent Wilson at the White House probably will bo asked within a few days to endeavor to enlist his support.
