OF LIMITATIONS WILL
OPERATE IN LITTAUER'S FAVOR

the face Of the facts there had been a
violation of the law. The whole matter,
however. was referred to the attorney
general for a legal opinion.
The opinion of Attorney General Knox,
received today, was referred by the acting
secretary of war to the judge advocate
general and will be made public by him
tomorrow. The opinion was not carefully
considered by the war department, but
from a casual perusal it is inferred that
the department Of justice does not pass
upon the guilt or innocence OF LittaueT.
but decides that the time within which
legal action must be taken under the
statute of limitations has expired and
that Littauer Is not subject to prosecu-
ton by the department.

Washington. Oct e1.-The state de-

come from the ia east Of a purpose
on the part Of Russia. to defeat the
operation of the new treaty between the

view of Russia's considerable Man
Churian interests a draft of this treaty
