TO ATTACKS MADE
BY COL. ROOSEVELT
Kansas Congressman Makes
Thirty-Minute Speech
in House.

The House this afternoon listened to
an excoriation of Col. Theodore Roose-
welt by Congressman Philip L. Campbell
of Kansas. Shortly after noon MIR.
Campbell was given thirty minutes In
which to address the House in answer
to the attack which Colonel Roosevelt
has been making upon the Kansas
Congressman.
II have ben told" he said, that I
was taking my political life in my
hands this morning by attacking
Colonel Roosevelt
IF ! did not do so I would despise
myself and my friends, and my foes
also would despise me. ] have more
faith In the good sense of the Ameri-
| can people than I have fear of Theo-
| dore Roosevelt.
He has been holding himself up to
the people as a paragon of political vir-
| tue"
Mr.. Campbell read from the life of
Governor Morris by Colonel Roosevelt
to show that he had changed his posi-
ton with respect to the judiciary and
judicial recall. II resent the insult to
the people of Kansas Theodore Roose-
welt made last Friday in his attack up
on me. The insult is to their intelli-
genCe I'm assuming that they do not
know the difference between a judicial
decision and political campaign"
Mr. Campbell went on to point out
the necessity of finality of decisions
resting in the courts.
| Congressman Campbell desired to ask
Colonel Roosevelt whether he did or did
not send note to the Department OF
Justice asking that further prosecuting
| OF the Harvester trust be discontinued
He also referred to the coloneIs actions

upon Congressman T. w. Sims OF Ten.
nessee asked Mr.. Campbell whether II
was not true that the former President
consulted his whole Cabinet in regard
to the steel matter. Mr.. Campbell re-
piled he did not know, but thought that
he rarely consulted any one.
| The speaker referred to Colonel
Roosevelt's recommendation Of William
| II. Taft. when he said he would give
the country as great an administration
| as that of Lincoln.

Vivors of the most terrible catastrophe

London.-The Ministry of Wal in
Petrograd that Russia has
conquered and occupied $4,000 square
miles of Austrian territory, while
successfully pushing vast offensive
operations against the German
provinces OF East Prussia, Posen and
Silesia.
The center Of interest now Is in
southwestern Poland, in the province
of Radon, where the Germans, hav-
ing formed a junction with Austrian
forces, are obstinately opposing the
advance of the Russians toward Bres-
lau and Cracow. The battle is in the
initial stage, with slight advantages
gained by the Russians.
The Russians have driven back the
Germans from Wlccloweki in Russian
Poland, 80 miles southwest of Thorn
in East Poland, and have fortified
themselves within a few miles Of the
fortress of Thorn, according to a
Petrograd cable.

of Roye, where the French have

GERMANY.-An official communica-
ton issued by the German General
staff says that from the western
scene of war no facts OF decisive
Importance can be mentioned and
that small progress has been made
near St. Mihiel and in the Argon-
ne. Before Antwerp the operations

RUSSIA.-According to dispatches
from Rome and Petrograd, Przemysl

In eastern Prussia, the Germans,
who we're driven back during the
last three days fighting, are said
to be concentrating their forces in

An Endless Stream
81 Belgian Fugitives
Crowd into Holland
Citizens Of Antwerp Rush From
Sound of German Cannon.

Rotterdam.-Since the tragedy at
Antwerp half the towns in Holland
seem to have doubled in population.
Over half a million people, mostly
m and children, poured over the
Dutch borders from Belgium. Before
the majority got out of earshot the
huge German guns were already
smashing Antwerp behind them.
Every station in Holland is a little
city of sorrows. Mothers sit on
benches in the cold giving their
babies the only food they have. Chill
dren stream everywhere yer the
cobbles and men gaze hour after hour
at the bulletins in the shop windows
which tell of Antwerp's desolation.
Most of the families in Holland
are opening their doors and giving
shelter to the homeless. Trains and
barges pour into every town. They
have come without intermission for
the past twenty.four hours and there
is no sign of their stoppage.
One Of the most pathetic facts is
the fight of a large body of lunatics,
who escaped from an asylum. Many
of these are now roaming about the
country, causing fear and disorder.
The Dutch Government has issued a
warning 10 the people not to be hasty
in dealing with strange persons who
are likely TO be lunatics. Sixty of
them arrived at Eindhoyen in care of
monks.
Flushing, Breda, Rotterdam, Rosen-
daal, The Hague, Amsterdam, Ter
neuzen, Maastrlcht and Dordrecht are
crowded and the streets of these
cities and towns are impossible. The
cry is "Still they come"
The exit from Brussels was tragic
enough, but many of Antwerp's sons
and daughters now in Flushing have
been hiding in cellars for days. Many
have seen those dear to them shat
tered to pieces by shells, and all the
while there had been the sickening
fear of the bombardment, only to
end in it's realization and a hurried
escape in the dead of night.

Man.

LONDON. - The correspon-

ences in filming the war. He
was in Alost during the German
bombardment. He said:
~ tried TO get pictures Of
shells exploding, but II is next
to useless, for they hardly show
on the film. In the trenches,
too, il is useless and rather
brutal, Il seems to me, to try
to get pictures. For instance,
we who have seen men die from
bullets and shrapncl know quite
we'll that they simply slip for
ward a little, and the whole
thing is finished. They do not
fling their rifles in the air, and
die in a dramatic posture. Pic
