LARGEST APPROPRIATION IN
HISTORY OF THE WORLD
WASHINGTON, May 23—All
records for naval appropriation bills
was broken today, when the Senate
of the United States without so
much as the formality of a roll
call, passed a bill carrying a sum
;otal of th- stupendous amount of
fll,500,000,000. If this money
were used for naught but the build
ing of capital ships, it would be
suSicient to build 460 of this class
of ships. Them easure will now go
to the House for consideration.
The Seoretary of the Navy sub
mitted the newest estimates of the
naval appropriations needd for ther
fiscal year.t he total of which is
$350165,000.
The Secretary of War submitted
to the House the recent estimate
for ordnance for the army, which
requires the sum of $1,500,000,000.
The sum total asked for by both
the navy and army in Senate and
House is $13,035,165,000.
WASHINGTON, May 23—The
delicate situation which had been
brought about between the Chief
Executive anr the Senate of the
United Spates, mainly owing to the
introduction of a resolution by Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, has
been safely passed over. The Sen
ate wisely agreeing on a compromise
which ha.'- been under advisn.ent
since i>.« Presidents Well known ob
jections to Nile e'mmbertain reso’a*
ticn was made kn.twn.
The President had stated that he
had no objections to any investiga
tion the Senate may wish to make,
with regards to any Governmental
Department, but that he was unal
terably opposed tot he Chamber
lain resolution, which he believed,
had for its real purpose the probing
of the entire conduct of the war
and an attempt to discredit the host
efforts of the Administration.
The investigation which is now
authorized by the Senate, will bo
confined sblely to the probing of any
work which is under the control
of the War Department.

AMERICAN ARMY France, May
23—To the Northwest of Toul, th3
American batteriec have boen ac
tively engaged In hurling thousands
of gas shello to the rear of the
enemy positions while bombarding
tho trenches with a rain of heavy
hiigh-exploeivn shells. The heavy
fire of the American artillery was
very successful in searching out and
destroying many of the enemy’s
most favorable positions and caused
much loss of life to the troops who
were thus caught between two fires,
with no chance for escape. The
bombardment lasted for more than
half an hour and was of the most
intensive character, covering mostly
fcivery foot of ground of the positions
under fire.
American and French airmen are
conductng a series of raiding ex
peditions behind the enemy lines,
dropping tons of explosives and gas
bombs on the enemy defenses and
doing a large amount of serious
damage.
WASHINGTON, May 23—Senator
Robert M. La Follette, of Wiscon
sin today appeared before the Senate
Committee on Priviliges and re
quested that the charges of disloyal
ty, which had been lodged against
him by the Wisconsin Republican
Safety committee last October, be
dismissed.
The Senator asked that the
charges, which he claims are abso
lutely false, bo dismissed after an
affirmative vote of the Privileges
Committee, and not merely dropped
without exonerating him. He said
ho was ready and willing to submit
adequate proof that former Sec
retary of State Willian Jennings
Bryan had warned the President,
four days before the sailing of tho
Lusitania, that the ship was carry
ing six million rounds of ammuni
tion and that this was a violation
of the laws of the United States.
He insisted that there had been
nothing disloyal in his speech.

forces in the vicinity of Arras, at
