HOUSE IS BEHIND
LEVER FOOD BILL
Expect to Pass Bill, With
Few Amendments, by To
morrow Night
SENATE IS COMING ROUND
WASHINGTON, June 22
Any delay In the passage of the Ad
ministration food-control bill will bo
charged to the Senate The House Is bend
ing every effort to pass the measure by an
overwhelming majority tomorrow nlgljt
While the Senate has been delaying the
till with perfunctory speeches, the House
has gotten squarely behind the measure
Partisan opposition has disappeared alto
gether The rejection of amendments which
would hae brought clothing, shoes, cotton,
teed and farm machinery under the regu
latory provision has paed the way for ex
peditious consideration of the bill in the
House
The decision of the Republican confer
ence last night to take a nonpartisan stand
on the bill clears the way for passage of
the measure by tiro House with not more
than fifty opposing votes, as predicted by
Representative Lever The conference de
cided that any amendments proposed would
be offered by Individuals and no action
was taken binding the participants to anj
particular amendment or policy as regards
the bill The Republicans are tacitly In
accord with Representative Lever's plan
to put the bill through the House tomorrow
night with as few amendments as possible
This will hasten the measure to conference,
where the Senate and House differences
will be Ironed out
Xeaders believed today that disappear
ance of opposition to the measure In the
House forecast a similar change of heart
In the Senate It was predicted that pas
aajB of the bill by both houses by July 1,
as desired by President Wilson, Is not a
remote possibility
Although the Senate has been spending
Its time In dilatory debate, and bids fair to
consume many days more in talking on the
measure leaders have been coming to a
tentative agreement among themselves as
to certain essentials, of the bill Today the
understanding vas that the bill would not
authorize the food administrator to requisi
tion factories, mines or other plants Wage
falng, including the price of hire of farm
labor vvlll be eliminated, as will rationing
or control of Individual consumption of food
Producers will be permitted to store food
Jtuffs without liability under the antl-hoard-iar
provisions of the bill '

RUMOR AT CAPITAL
Secretary to Become President's
War Agent Outside Cabinet,
Report Has It
Bu a Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. June 22
The latest rumor in Washington is that
William Glbbs McAdoo. Secretary of the
Treasury 13 seeking an opportunity to re
Jim In order to take up activities relating
i me conduct of the w-ir which will give
Mm a much greater field than his present
Post This is a rumor on which It Is use
less to question McAdoo At the same time,
the fact that the report has gone the rounds
of Washington has given It almost enough
substance to believe It has a foundation of
ome kind
It Is entirely possible that th situation
HJ sooner or later develop the aeed for a
wan outside the present official cabinet
He will be the purchasing agent or prime
Minister the executive officer or close friend
to the President at) thing you please He
will be the big figure of the war, much
lter than a mere cabinet officer could
be, and It Is for such a chance, the Wash
ington rumor spreaders have It, that Mc
Adoo Is hoping
Already he Is next to the President In
activity His recent Liberty Bond trip
throughout the country put him In touch
ljh the people and put the people In touch
JjfUh him The people of the country be
lieve that McAdoo "put over" the bond
jMue and probably no amount of shouting
from New York financial circles will con
vince the public that the Treasury Is -not
responsible for the success of the Liberty
Loan.
H is entirely possible that the Democratic
Wrty may choosa Secretary McAdoo for Its
next presidential candidate, and It may be
troomlng him now for Just such a icsponsl-
This does not send a shiver of fear down
e splnes'of Republicans at present, hovv

Publicans confess they have no" one Jn mind

Wall street is most Interested In the Mc

The legal and Judicial standing of these
four men Is as high ns any In France
They spent weeks In the devastated dls

In each Instance was beaten and kicked

ing her hair, fell at the feet of the officer
the latter looked at the Mayor and said
"Have her taken away or I will have
her whipped And know the words pity

The woman's name was Marguerite Dos

morning to 8 In the evening, with an hour at
noon, and two fifteen-minute Intervals In
the morning and the afternoon Their total
was 164, In age from children of nine to old
folks as aged as eighty-one Sixteen died
In the fields from exhaustion A guard of
soldiers with stout sticks stood over them
and beat any who ceased even from fatigue
The testimony comes from nineteen of the
survivors, too aged to be carried away at
evacuation Portion of an official poster
covering the German decree as to the work
required from these poor people read as
follows
Lazy women will be exiled from the
town to Germany First, they will be
