Washington ?Am economic agreement
with Spa n, under which Cicneral

The state department was so advised
tonight by Ambassador Willard.
The terms of the agreement could
not be learned tonight and it was not
known whether they had any bearing
on the rate of exchange between the
two countries which the United States
has desired to adjust because of

dollar in Spain, where it is now
worth only about 75 cents.

I _. .
i no xvener work or the American
I Red Cross in France is already well
under way, and appropriations ITor
this work to the amount of $30,519,259.60
have been made by the Red
Cross War Council to cover the period
from the time when the United States
entered the war up to April 30, 1918.
Of this amount, $14,019,889.50 is for
military relief, under which head
comes everything pertaining to hospitals
and hospital supplies, canteen
service, and arrangements for the recreation
and comfort of the American
soldiers when off duty.
For civilian relief, including aid to
refugees, care and prevention of tuberculosis,
care of children, re-educai
tion of mutilated and blind soldiers
' and general relief work in six districts
of the devastated area, a total of $9,!
556,482.15 has been appropriated.
| The bureau of supplies and other
| administrative bureaus will receive
, $3,359,541.75. Under this head come
i all transportation facilities, the department
of engineering, the expenses
of 27 warehouses and insurance on
goods stored therein, as well as all
ofTIce expenses in France.
Under the head of miscellaneous
activities*, for which $3,583,346.20 has
been appropriated, come such things
as relief of the families of sick and
wounded French soldiers, all emergencies,
the American ambulance
fund, food for the French people, the

the War Council that for everj dollar
donated to the war fund, $1.02 la spent

If mercuric clorid is not available, or

Lewis Says Railroads Will

Management Again
COAL AND OIL LANDS

And Also Telegraph and Telephone
Privileges, Senator
Predicts.
Washington. Senator Lewis, of Illinois,
speaking in the Senate today,
declared the administration railroad
bill is a forerunner of government
control over various public utilities
and predicted that the question would
>o the great domestic issue in the
next presidential campaign.
"Lot us not deceive ourselves as to

Lewis declared. "This is the beginning
of the government taking the
tailroads as a government agency.
The roads will never bo permitted to
l durn to the former slat" of persona!
eent'ol for private benefit. At the
same time, this country takes over
lie railroads, it will take the telegraph
and telephone privileges an I
then the products for fuel, particularly
the lands of coal and oil, and
put these under government direction.
"All agencies of this nature in
this republic, necessary to the public
The provost marshal general's ofgovernment
as a necessary protectionof
the republic."
Railroads Surrendered.'
The railroads, Senator Lewis dcc'nrod,
confessed their inability to
meet the situation and by surrenderI
ing to the government admitted
the one power capable to carry on
the work under the existing conditions
was th?* government itself.
"The government now conducts the
roads and directs them as the proof
of its power and ability to do so," he
assorted. "Private ownership of raifroads
failed us for the purpose of
sending supplies to ships or for trans
port of soldiers for foreign service.
What would be the calamity under
| private ownership if enemies were at
I cur gates and in possession of our
country ?
Lot us announce that the United
States is a government, and shall assume
governmental responsibility in
protecting all public agencies of human
welfare from being a monopoly
c.* private pillage."
If this is done, Senator Lewis said,
"any Bolsheviki uprising in the United
States will be avoided.
Vote Expected Today.
Discussion of the railroad bill continued
in the Senate today with prospect
of a final vote before adjournment.
By agreement, debate was
limited to 10 minutes for each Senator
from 2 to 6 p. m. and to five
minutes thereafter.
Consideration of the bill in the
House was resumed today with Representative
Esch, of Wisconsin, ranking
Republican member ot1 the interstate
commerce committee ready to
oppose the measure.
