London.?A suggestion that th I
Cnited States might ask Holland to |
take the initiative in calling upon the
Allied governments to confer at The |
Hague, not in substitution for, but ,
1 a preliminary to the third Hagu
* neace conference, was made by j
George NicoJI Barnes, Labor member |
of the war cabinet, without portifoli;>. j
in discussing' tno queston of a league j
of nations last night. He expressed j
hope that another Hague peace conference
would be held after the war.
An Allied conference at The Hague
^ now, Mr. Barnes added, could he hold
without slackening the efforts to beat
the Germans, and "in fact might eve.i I
induce Germany to respect her posi- j
tion in the world." People everywhere !
are ready for such a meeting, he said j
he believed.
Mr. Barnes laid down the principle
that .a league of nations must be bind.
upon all powers and that all nations
must agree to submit disputes;
/ to a world tribunal for settlement. Hoi
declared there must be an agreement'
on a reduction of armaments, the
suppression of private capital in their
manufacture, inauguration of son/*
international machine by which offer t
could be promptly given to international
decrees.
J . *
fjL The inclusion of Germany in a
league of nations, the speaker added,
\should not be regarded as a favor to
Germany, but rather as something to
which she should be required to subscribe.
It might well be one of the
terms inposcd upon her at the peae?
conference.
? Mr. Barnes asked how a peaceably ;
disposed league of nations could re- j
duce armaments, while a nation of >
seventy millions was left outside to j
? form a rival league and again set th-'
pace in the building of battleships j
and in all the deviltry of war prepar- j
ation.

GERMANSSTRiVETO
' OVERCOME EFFECTS
London.?Having* failed in attempts
to blow up the two concreteladen
ships sunk in the entrance to
Bruges Canal at Zeebrugge, the Germans
are now engaged in cutting a
way the piers in an .attempt to out
flank the obstruction.
* The photographs taken three days
ago by British naval airmen show
'* jthis, and they also show how com'
pletely the canal entrance has been ,
blocked. So the Germans have adopt
ed the expedient of removing the
piers on the west side of the canal in
order to make a large enough channel
for torpedo craft and other vessels
larger than submarines to pass
^ out to sea.
The photographs,, which have been
viewed at the admiralty by the Associated
Press, also show that German
craft in the canal are headed
westward, indicating, according to
the admiralty, that they are cvident/
!y trying to pass out by way of Os^
lend, where the canal entrance is not
blocked as completely as at Zee- i
bruggc.
It is doubtful, however, if there is J'
enough water at the Ostend outlet
for even the smaller boats to get to
sea. Photographs made there by
British airmen show that the depth of
the water at Ostend varies, a depth j
of as low as four feet being recorded
r
GERMANS HOPED
TO SEE UPRISING
New York.?Plans had beer made
in 1914 for a revolution of Germans
in the United Stater, in case this coun
try should be drawn into the European
war, according to testimony today at
the State attorney general's investigation
of reports of hidden munitions.
Ivan Norody, vice president of the
Russian-American Asiatic Corporation,
who admitted he had sympathized
with Russian revolutionists before
the emperor was overthrown, attributed
the revelation of plans for
an uprising in the United States to
Baron von Gersdorff, friend of the
n ? 1 "
uerman crown prince and a tormcr
agent in Mexico.
At a dinner at a New York hotel in
the fall of 1912, Norody raid he met
von Gersdarff, Captain Hans Tauscher,
former Krupp agent in the
United States ami another German
who he knew as Lagen or Muck. Norody
quoted von Hersdorff as saying:
"The schutzenverein (German rifl
clubs) have arrived in this country
and in case of trouble with the United
States they will side wth Germany.
The rifles have come fi'oin Germany,
and in case of war the Germans here
v/ill assist the I. W. W. and the So
cialists."
Both von Gcrsdorff and Tau.vchor
told Norody, the latter testified, th i
the autocracy of Russia ought to be
overthrown, and von Gersdorff offered
to supply Norody with arms fre?
so that revolutionists pi Rus.ua ccul.l
seize the government and make a
separate peace with Germany. No ody
testified that he rejected tins
plan from patriotic motives.
Previous to this conversation he
said, ho had been trying to buy rifles
from Tauseber for the Russian army,
but after being shown a quantity of
arms in a New Jersey store house
gave up bbe idea because ho realize!
that lie was dealing with an enemy
of his country and the arms, if purchased,
might he sunk by the Germans
on the way to Russia.
The Germans, he said did not seem
anxious to continue negotiations unless
for the purpose of fomenting a
revolution.
The efforts of Deputy Attorney
General Becker to learn the names of
the owners of 1,000,000 Mauser r fles
and 1,000,000,000 cartridges which va
ri.ous brokers had testified were offered
for sale in New York by Gustav
Lussing, a German bom American
citizen, proves futile when Lussing
took the stand. He denied the
testimony of various witnesses that
ho had represented himself as the
agent of the owners. N

"WORK OR FIGHT" IS
Washington.?Every man of draft
age must work or fight after July 1,|
under a drastic amendment to the se- I
I lective service regulations, announced |
today by Provost Marshal General
1 Crowder.
Not all idlers, but all draft registrants
engaged in what are held to be
j non-useful occupations, are to be
j haled before local boards and given
the choice of a new job or the army.
Gamblers, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune tellers
head the list, but those who will be
reached by the now regulations also
include waiters and bar tenders, theater
ushers aod attendants, passenger j
elevator operators and other attend- j
ants of clubs, hotels, stores, etc., do- |
mesuc anct clerks in stores.
Del erred 1 valines
i Deferred classification granted on
account of dependents will be disregarded
entirely in applying the rul?. |
A man mav be at the bottom of class |
one or even in class four, but if he i
falls within the regulations and re- '
fuses to take useful employment will |
be given a new number in class one j
that will send h:.- into military j
service forthwith. Local boards are |
authorized to use discretion only \
where they find that enforced change
of employment would result in disproportionate
hardship upon his dependents.
Wide Scope
It has boon known, for some time
that some form of "work or fight"
plan had been submitted to President
Wilson, bnt there had been no inti? i
mation that it was so far-reaching in
scope. Both military authorities and.
d< partment of labor officials bel'eve
that it will go a long way toward solv
ing the labor problem for farmers,
shipbuilders and munition workers,
and will end, for the present at least,
: talk of conscription of labor. The
| announcement today gives notice I
I significantly that the list of non-use-!
| ful occupations will be extended froTm
! time to time as necessity requires,
i The-statement of the provost mari
shal general's office follows:
! "Provost Marshal General Crowdei j
i today announced an amendment to
| the sleeetive service regulations which !
j deals;with the great question of com- |
; polling men not engaged in a usofui J
occupation immedidately to appl?
| themselves to some form of labor, j
contributing to the general good. The j
idler, too, will find himself confronted
with the alternative of finding
t
suitable employment or entering the
army.
"This regulation provides that after
July 1, any registrant who is
found by a local hoard to be a habitual
idler, or not engaged in sonr
useful occupation, shall be summono i
before the board, given a chance to;
j explain and, in the absence of a sat-;
j isfactory explanation, to be inducted |
I into the military service of the Unit'
ed States.
Any local board will be authorized
J to take action, whether it has origi- j
i nal jurisdiction of the registrant or
j not; in other words any man loafing j
. around a pool room in Chicago, may
be hold to answer to Chicago board, ;
I even though he may have registered
in New York and lived there most of
j his life. (
"The regulations which apply to <
idle registrants will be deemed to ap- I
ply also to gamblers of all descrip- 1
tions and employes attendants of ]
bucket shops and race tracks, fortune ;
i tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and the <
j like, who, for the purpose of the <
I regulations will be considered as idl- |
ers. t
"The new regulations will also af- j
feet the following classes: )
"(a) Persons engaged in the serv- j
ing of food and drink, or either, in ,
public places, including hotels and so- (
cial clubs. i
"(b) Passenger elevator operators \
and attendants, doormen, footmen and <
ether attendants, engaged and occupied
in, and in connection with games (
sports and amusements, excepting ac- t
tual performers in legitimate con- j
certs, operas or theatrical pert'orn>

grounds of dependency. The fact that

both of the above conditions.
"It is expected that the list of nonuseful
occupations will be extended
Lroin time to time as necessity will
require, so as to include per. ons in
other employments.
"Temporary absences from regular
employment not to exceed one week,
unless such temporary absences are
habitual or frequent, shall not be
considered as idleness. Regular vacations
will not be considered as absences
in this connection.
"The regulation throws a further
safeguaul around men not usefully
employed, by providing that where
there are 'compelling domestic circum
stances' thait would not permit change
of employment by the registrant with
cut disproportionate hardship to his
dependants, or where a, change from
non-useful to useful employment or
occupation would necessitate a removal
of the registrant or his family,
local boards may give consideration
to the circumstances. The regulation
funtther provides that where such a
change of employment under the circumstances
which a board might
dtrem unsuitable for such employ- i
of women, the board may take
siucn circumstances into consideration
HI llti (incision.
Explaining- the new regulation and
the necessity for it, General Crowder
said: i
"The war has so far disorganized the
normal adjustment of industrial man- j
power as to prevent the enormous j
industrial output and national organi- j
zation necessary to success.
"There is a popular demand for or- I
ganization of manpower, but no direct
draft could be imposed at present.
"Steps to prohibit idleness and noneffective
occupation will be welcomed
by our people.
"We shall give the idlers and men
not effectively employed the choice
between military service and effective
employment. Eevery man in the
draft age, at least, must work or
fight.
"This is not alone a war of jnilitary
maneuver. It is a deadly contest
of industries and mechanics.
"It is enough to ask what would
happen if every man in the nation
turned his - and to effective work.
How is this to be done?
"The answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution of the iiffi-I
culty is to prohibit engagement by |
able-bodied men in the field or hurt- j
1 u 1 employment, idleness or ineffcc-J
tual employment, and thus induce and
persuade the vast, wasted fields.
"One of the unanswerable criti- '
I
cisms of the draft has been that it |
takes men from the farms and from ;
all useful employments and marches
ibem past crowds of idlers and loafers
away from the army. The remedy
is simple?to couple the industrial
basis with other grounds for exemp
lion and to require that any man
pleading' exemption on any grounds
diall also show that he is eotribut'ng
effectively in 4he industrial welfare
jf the nation.
"The regulation itself makes plain
die determination of the War Department.
The great organization of
ocal and district boards which has
llready accomplished a notable work i
nay be relied upon to catch the spirit 1
>f the movement and sorely needed <
nanpower will be flowing into the <
'ields of useful endeavor or into the i
ithcr direction of military strength." I
Theatrical ucrformerr. were rxmini

ion of Secretory of War Baker, who j
s said to feel that the people cannot <

ird that the other amusement could

ITALY TO STAND
UP TO HER TASK
London.?Italy will not flinch from
the task of fighting shoulder to
shoulder with her allies for satisfying |
and promoting the civilization of the
world, declared the Italian ambassador
in answer to a toast to Italy, at a
luncheon here to celebrate the anniversary
of Italy's entrance into the
war. Italy, he added, was a warm
advocate of the principle of national- .
ity and would fight for it to the bit- j'
tc r :id.
The ambassador recalled the visit I
of King Victor Emanuel to London in
1855 and said that sentiments of
friendship toward England then ex- J
pressed were those that animated the
Italy of today.
Lord Robert Cecil, minister of
blockade, who spoke for Foreign Secretary
Balfour, said that Italy had
come out of the trials of the war with
clearer unity and self-confidence, if
possible, greater courage than she i
had before. Italy had shown herself L
ready to extend to the Poles, Czechs.
Slovaks, Rumanians and Jugo-Slavs ;
the principle on which her own uni- j
fication was founded and on which
to go forward to a great future.
Lord Robert Cecil's speech is mad' j
the theme of the general editcriu' j
comment in the morning's newspapers.
The Morning Po?st c?tes It dy
as an example of the national cohesion
caused by the war. It continues:
"What is true of Italy is true o
h"ranee, the United States and Croat !
Britain and the longer war continues i

organization for war and the length
of time required before the real mean
'ng of this war could be apprehended
I by tl>e American people, culnv'nating
in President Wilson's taking action
"with a celerity and resolution which,
made him eminent among the leaders

WOMHN LAHOK ON FARMS!
In all towns aiul films adjacent to
agricultural regions there are many
men of farm experience who can lie
spared for a day at a time or a week
at a time, as the case may be, to help,
the farmers with their most pressing
tasks.
In many such towns and cities la ' 1
year men were spared from ordinary
business and industry, from offices
and shops, and crops wore cultivated (
and harvested which otherwise might
have suffered serious loss. Such ad
justments must be made this year,
and undoubtedly will be made when
the communities affected come into [
a full realization of the necessities of
the case.
In releasing the men of farm ex- |

many women can be utilized to take j
their places for a few clays at a time |
3r for a whole season. Generally
speaking, it will become more and
more necessary for women to take
the places of men in all occupations.
In addition to relieving men in
:owns and cities women can actually
perform many farm tasks, such as)
dairying, vegetable cultivation,
