PRESIDENT'S CABLE CALLS CONGRESS TO MEET MAY 19 Continued From Page 1, sion was much earlier than Democratic leaders had expected. White House offictals said that naming an carly date for the session, President Wilson was guided largely by the advice of Secretary Glass as the necessity of passing annual appropriation measures which failed in the closing days of the last session. Text of Proclamation. President Wilson's proclamation calling extra session follows: "Whereas, public interests require that the Congress of the United States should be convened in extra session 12 o'clock noon, 011 the A 19th day May, 1919, to receive such communications as may be made by the Executive. "Now, therefore.

I. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States America, do hereby proclaim and de. clare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Congress of the United States to convene in extra session the Capitol in the District of Columbia on the 19th day of May. 1919, at o'clock noon. of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof are hereby required to take notice.

"Given under my hand and seal the United States of America, the 7th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen. and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-third. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON. "By the President: "Robert Lansing, Secretary of No Time Set For Wilson's Return. There was no information at the White House either as to the probable time of the return of the president from France or the submission of the Peace Treaty to the Senate, but some Administration leaders believed the President had called the extra session carlier than had been anticipated in order that Congress might perfect its organization and dispose of the more important appropriation measures before the treaty was ready for consideration.

Republicans of the house virtually have completed their organization. but the Senate has done no organization work and this probably will oceupy its attention for the first week of She Special Session. The House, however, can be considering the appropriation measures in the meantime. The supply bills that failed in the last Congress will be introduced anew. but the Secretary of the Treasury has decided it will not be necessary for the government departments to submit estimates.

new Lodge Calls G. 0. P. Conference. Soon after the President's proclamation made public, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, issued a call for a Republican Conference to be held May 14 for the purpose of perfecting an organization in the Senate, and Representative Mondell, who will be Republican floor leader at the coming session, announced that a Conference of Republican House members would be held on May 17.

Probe of War Charges Expected. General expectations are that soon after it meets the new Congress will begin investigations into many questions and charges made in connection with the conduct of the war. Republican leaders, however, have announced no couclusion as to a general investigation. The new Congress will be faced with a mass of legislation, immediate action on which will be urged by several Government departments. Besides the seven appropriation bills, aggregating more than $4.000.000.000.

which failed of passage at the last. the list of unpassed measures included All reconstruction legislation, and bills defining the shipping policy, general railroad legislation and dealing with unemployment, labor and illiteracy questions.

GERMANS STUBBORN, BUT ALLIES PREVAIL Paris, May 7 (Havas) -The discussion at the meeting of the Inter- Allied and German economic exports at Vergailles yesterday was very spirited, the Journal says. Most of the discussion concerned the exchange of Iron ore from Lorraine for German coal. The newspaper adds: "Finally, the energy and good sense of the Allies had the better of man stubbornness." $5,342,200 SHORT OF QUOTA, B'KLYN SPEEDS LOAN DRIVE FINISH Women's Committee Scours Borough -Incomplete Report of Academy Rally Scored. Brooklyn still has a pull before it can Loan.

get The over the official top in figures the showed the borough still shy 200 of its $59.857,400 quota. At 10 o'clock today the borough subscriptions stood at just 90 per cent. of the amount Brooklyn has been asked to raise. At the same hour the figure for the entire Federal reserve district stood at 533,400, showing indications that the New York District is at last beginning 10 wake out of the lethargy which has marked the drive so far. Today's report disclosing that the district had lifted itself up full 16 hours -from 32 to 48 per points in percentage in twenty- -four distinctly encouraging to the Loan Committee.

The Red Feather campaign which actually began today is only one of many of the big features for the coneluding four days of the drive, which are counted upon by the local committee to put Brooklyn across the finish mark next Saturday night with millions to spare. Edwin P. Maynard, chairman of the Brooklyn Committee, is still optimistic that Brooklyn will come closer to $100.000.000 than to la the $60.000.000 it has been officially asked to chip in. One of the encouraging features of the past few days is the sale of coupon books, indicating that at last the investor rather than the banks is beginning to take an interest. Yesterday the returns from the sales of coupon books in Brooklyn proached the $1.000,000 and the committee in charge of this activity expects that the figure for the six days of the present week will be $7.000.000.

The Red Feather drive is being counted upon to still further arouse popular interest. This activity will be chiefly in charge of the Women's Committee and under the personal supervision of Mrs. Clarence Waterman. of the novelties to be introduced bY. placards, the women with will immense be large Victory which will be filled in with red feathers as bonds are sold.

It was announced today that capGerman cannons would be awarded as prizes to banking towns and non-banking communities having the greatest oversubscriptions of Victory notes, provided 20 per cent or more of the resident population has invested in the loan. Brooklyn will be among the competitors in this contest. Today was Navy Day in the Loan campaign. A big program which was to hve been stged the Borough Hall, however, and in which Brooklyn sailors were to have taken part, had to be cancelled because of the rain. The "buy another bond" campaign opened in Brooklyn last night with the blowing of sirens, the ringing of bells and tooting of whistles.

Sirens on each ship in the Todd, Robin's, Tebo and Morse dry docks sounded the call to purchase another Victory note. The Eagle and Sperry searchlights illuminated the sky. Official Rally Figures Incomplete. Many complaints have been made by bankers and others regarding the in which the record of subseriptions taken at the great Academy of music meeting was kept. No complete official compilation was made and many banks have failed to receive credit in the newspapers for their good work.

The best available record IS that furnished by newspaper reporters, but the official lists are both 111- accurate and incomplete. The press bureau of the Loan Committee furnished to the Brooklyn newspapers yesterday a list of about $10,000.000 of subscribers as the record of the meeting, out of a 000 first reported subscribed. The list omitted such large contributions as the $4.000,000 from the Mechanics Bank, First National, $1,000.000: Kings County Trust, Corn Exchange, Nassau. 000: People's Trust, $3,000,000, and other large ones, and credited the Brooklyn with $2.000,000 111- stead of $3.000. Soon after this list was published The Eagle began to get inquiries about subscriptions that epparently had been omitted.

E. C. Granberry, vice chairman of the local committee and in charge of publicity, threw the blame for the 111- complete list on the Bankers committee, which he said, had entire charge of all features of the Academy Executive Secretary Muller, who gave to the newspapers the incomplete list, through Max Abelman, director of the Academy meeting, said that it contained all the subscriptions for which cards were handed in. The large bank subscriptions, he said, were alinounced orally from the audience and no written record was kept of them. Mr.

Muller said he was working on a corrected list. $31.000.000 Actually Taken. The amount of money actually collected at Brooklyn's big rally at the Academy of Music Monday night, it was announced today, was 000. The elimination of duplications cut down the total originally anI nounced, but the figure still stands as the high-water mark for any single Liberty Loan rally.

478 80.250 Women Plan Campaign. The Brooklyn Woman's Committee is planning a vigorous Red Feather Campaign for the last few days of the ONLY WAR CARGOES ARE LEAVING FRANCE FOR BROOKLYN NOW Industries There Are Still Paralyzed by War--No Exports Passible, Eagle 53 Rue Farraoh. By GUY HICKOK, (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Paris, April 17-No cargoes except war cargoes are going from French ports to the Brooklyn waterfront now, according to American shipping men here. Two or three individuals gum-shoeing around for westward-bound transatlantic tonnage have left Paris in disgust recently, firmly convinced that the French will not need their services for some time to come. French industry is still paralyzed from the effects of the war.

They have not reached a state of resuscitation yet where they can maufacture what France needs, and they certainly can turn out nothing--or next to nothing-for export. Wine, one of the biggest of France's former exports, is going to be taboo in America. Fashions, one of the basic industries which still flourishes, is not a spacetaking export. Fashions consist mainly of ideas, and unfortunately for ship owners ideas can be carried in a remarkably small number of cubic feet. Jewelry is still so high in price that few of the early birds among American purchasing jewelers are buying.

And even if they were, jewelry takes up little room and weighs less. There is no cheese. for France's herds were so reduced by the war that the supply of all dairy products is still insufficient. Of course, there are many thousands of tons of war freight going from France to America in American transports. Secretary of War Baker said at the Crillon day before yesterday that huge numbers of German cannon were being sent over for trophy purposes; that German helmets by the hundreds of tons were going over, and besides the German war material there is our own.

Most of what America brought here will go back. Permanent improvements, such as docks, storehouses and railroad tracks, may be sold to the French by special arrangement. So, possibly, may the immense number of motor trucks, although French automobile manufacturers object strongly to what they call illegitimate competition. It has even been suggested that the best thing to do with much of the halfused-up motor transport material will be to take it to sea and dump it overboard; for American manufacturers are as reluctant as anyone else to have army cars dumped on the market in competition with new ones. Possibly by the time the army stuff is all back home French manufacturers will have commercial cargoes.

CONFER ON NARCOTICS In response to a letter from Police Commissioner Enright stating that drastic measures were necessary in order to prevent the sale of narcotics and explosives here, Mayor Hylan today called a conference of City Department heads and other officials to discuss the need of new laws to govern their distribution. Mayor Hylan, in opening the discussion, declared that its purpose to find ways and means of preventing undesirable persons from obtaining chemicals or preparations from which narcotics could be manufactured, and said that he knew of a case where the police arrested a. drug addict and found enough explosives in his possession to demolish a city block. Health Commissioner Copeland declared that there were between 000 to 200,000 drug addicts in the city and that the vastness of the traffic could be realized when it a fact that during one month drug stores sold more than 2,600 ounces of narcotics, valuation of which was in the neighborhood of a $80,000. He advocated some system of legislation and outlined recommendations to meet the situation, which he declared, the advent of prohibition.

made "most serious." The recommendations were as follows: 1. Definition of "drug addict." 2. Legislation and identification. 3. Laws making it a misdeameanor for a physician to prescribe habit-forming drugs for an addict without proper identification, or for a druggist to honor a prescription without the identification.

4. Laws making it a misdeameanor for the mere sale of narcotics. 5. Regulation by the State Narcotic Commission, or amendments to the Sanitary Code to combat the approaching crisis. CHARITY CARD PARTY TOMORROW.

Crawford and some of the members of his committee can be found nights at the headquarters, 240 Broadway, as late as 11:30 o'clock. All are enthusiastic over the results, Chairman Crawsatisfied with the way the drive is ford stated that he was thoroughly going as far as his district is concerned.

The petition is addressed to President Poincare, Premier Clemenceau and the presidents of of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The Theater "She's a Good Fellow." With exception all concerned with the production of "She's a Good Fellow," Charles Dillingham's spring musical comedy lure for theatergoers at the Globe Theater, have done their work well. The show is nicely presented, it is equipped with a clever cast of young, graceful and personable people, the tunes by Jerome Kern are fairly fetching, and there is in it a youthful, elongated comedian yclept, Olin Howland, manages to keep the audience watching him delightedly most of the time. In fact "She's a Good Fellow" has all the assets of a sparkling little musical piece, except a good book. And there Anne Caldwell has failed to contribute her quota to the evening's entertainment.

For the book is rather banal. And when it is not banal and witless it is There is nothing that can honestly be called fresh about a plot that concerns a young man who masquerades as a girl in a fappers' boarding school. The movies overfor two of the three acts the comedy worked that plot germ long a ago. And is not exactly inspiriting. Costumes, scenery, songs and singers there are, and they are all pleasing.

But the author has not supplied any taking talk and diverting situations. Olin Howland is funny from the moment he comes on until the fall of of his own brewing. He has little to the final at curtain. But his fun is all work with. Ann Orr is the lively, comely, exhuberant Ann Orr- she i always has been.

She dances agilely, sings in an uncertain but effective voice, and manages to keep things merry. Joseph Santley performs gracefully as the masquerading young man who has married a little girl, Ivy Sawyer, who is not yet old enough to marry. But Santley does not dance enough. And when in the third act he and Howland bring down the house with a burlesque dance, the credit is due mainly to the tall lithory comedian who almost entirely dependent on his own resources, has by the last act got his audience into a humor that makes them laugh at everything he does. This Howland is a clever mimie and a dancer.

The chorus is one of those se Globe choruses that can do everything well. Especially lithe and gracile is the Titian Howland in young the lady last who act dances while they sing, "The Bumble Bee." Of Jerome Kern's melodies "Teacher, Teacher" and "Bullfrog The Patrol" most successful. Duncan Sisters, two syncopated young things, a large part in making "She's a Good Fellow" an agreeable entertainment. S. W.
