SENATOR KENYON BITTERLY
ASSAILS JOHN D. ROOKIE.

Washington, May 4-Forfciture of

against the Eockefelled General Edu.
cational Board by Senator Kenyon Of
Iowa, today when he introduced a bill
20 revoke rho act Of Congress of 1903
authorizing The foundation.
From the data submitted by various
government departments, the Iowa
senator said he learned that over $l2,-
100000 worth of the boards founda.

center Of the Colorado nine strike,
and over 100000 of the fund is in
Steal Trust stock.
"If John d. Rockefeller would go
cut 10 Colorado" said Senator Ken
ION, "and give some of this blood
money to the fanatics of the poor
strikers which his company is now
lighting, instead of giving same to
colleges and agricultural experts
throughout the country, he would be

which he has helped to bring upon
The suffering people of Colorado.

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Boers Exchanged Compliments During the Long
 Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war MT. Rhodes was shut up in Kimberley. and the Boers constantly shelled the town with long-range artillery. They were not very successful. for with 300 big shells they only killed 12 people.
 Meantime. Mir. Rhodes accomplished the extraordinary feat of getting a cannon built at his works inside the town It was a regular modern rified gun, and fired shells-also homemade on each of which was stamped. With compliments of c. J. Rhodes" !"
 The Boers themselves were not with out sense of humor. During Christ mas. 1899. they were beseging Lady smith, and on Christmas eve they fired ten plugged shells into the town each with piece of plum pudding inside, and each bearing the words, With the seasons compliments"
 Two of the shells were found by the garrison, and 1t was discovered that, like Mir. Rhodes, they were home made. having been cast in foundry at Johannesburg.

U. s. TROOPS LEFT

ASSURANCES THAT U. S. SEEKS NO GGRANDlZEMENT SOUTH

 Washington. - Brigadier General Funstons infantry and marines, num- bering about 5000 men, Monday haul ed down the Stars and Stripes, which have been flying over Vera Cruz since last April, and evacuated the Mexican port. in accordance with instructions from President Wilson.
 The battleships at Vera Cruz and Tarnpico and the string of vessels on the west coast will remain indefinite ly.
 Advices from Mexico are that con- of the United States government is to withdraw the small army at Vera Cruz and thereby remove possible cause of international friction.
 President Wilson is hopeful that the evacuation of Vera Cruz will be an enduring demonstration to Central and South American countries of the policy of the United States to seek no territorial aggrandizement south of the Rio Grande In withdrawing from Mexican soil the United States government has taken pains that no faction shall be recognized,
 Administration officials do not re- gard the tangled state of affairs in the Southern republic as altogether hopeless. A view that many of the officials take is that Carranza ordered the evacuation of Mexico in order that he might concentrate his forces at Orizaba and continue the parleys for compromise.
 The marines were taken from Vera Cruz to League Island navy yard, Philadelphia, and the troops returned to their camp at Texas City, near Gal weston.

 London.-The armies in France ana in Belgium appear to be enjoying a long-deserved rest for the only re maining evidence that the belligerents aDe facing each other is an occasion al bombardment with heavy guns Infantry attacks have temporarily ceased, and while the generals are laying their plans for their next move the men are getting chance to rest and to tidy themselves up, after a month in the water-soaked trenches.
 The Servians are making a stand agains the Austrians in well-choseD fortified positions on the Kolubara river, but as the Austrians command superior forces and Servia is without allies near enough to offer her assist ance, it seems apparent that unless other Balkan states come into the war, Servia is faced with defeat.
 The recruiting campaign which is being carried on throughout the Brit ish Isles has resulted in bringing many men to the colors. Troops with banners flying and bands playing marched Sunday through the east end of London to Victoria park, where speakers addressed the crowds from early morning until late in the even- ing.
 The Germans, it Is evident. have sent their best troops to the Eastern front and even in big guns the allies appear to have the advantage over them. There are no signs, however, of an offensive on a large scale on the part of the allies, who probably are as badly in need of rest as their op- ponents. It is said officers and men who have borne the brunt of the ught- ing in the trenches are being given a short leave
 This, together with the cancellation of the order for the removal of ship ping from Dunkirk, is taken to indi- cate that the allies consider their po- sition safe for the present and they do not contemplate any attempt at a forward movement.
 A new crop of stories has arisen that the Germans are sending heavy guns and submarines by rail to Bel gium, destined for the coast. Other reports that long trains, capable all told of moving 100000 men, are being prepared to take German reinforce ment to the Eastern front.

GERMAN ADVANCE
 NEARING WARSAW
LONDON AND PETROGRAD THINK SUPERIOR RUSSIAN NUMBERS
 WILL FORCE THEM BACK.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 London.-The veil of secrecy has been drawn over the battles between the Russians and the Austro-German forces. The headquarters of both ar mics now are confining themselves to the briefest statements concerning the hOstilities, saying merely that fighting is in progress.
 News coming from unofficial man advance has penetrated further into Poland than had been disclosed previously and that Warsaw is threat ened for a second time. General von Hindenburg's army has advanced as far as the owiecZ-Skierniewicz line, which means that the Germans have covered two-thirds of the ground to the Polish capital, from which they now are only 40 miles distant Fur ther south in Poland, however, the Teuton allies are said to have been repulsed between Radon and Kielce
 The battle in Poland in the direc- ton of Lowicz is the most critical one, and while the Germans have the great est confidence in General von linden burg since his defeat of the Russian General von Rennenkampf in East Prussia, here and in Petrograd mill tary observers express the opinion that Russia's overwhelming superior ity in numbers of men again must "a mans made their first attack on War saw.
 The German column between the Warthe and Vistula rivers. according to official reports from Russian Po- land, comprises six army corps ana presents a front of 50 miles in eX- tent. The two rivers prevent fanking by either side. hence the fighting con- sists of straight frontal attacks in which the losses of both armies are heavy. but neither side so far has been able to gain a marked advantage.
 The Germans. military observers contend, cannot advance further in this region. since the Russian concen-
 
 roads and by lack of railroads, now is complete.
 Dispatches received in Petrograd from Tifiis. Transcaucasia. explain the halt in the Russian advance toward Koprykoi was due to the discovery that an entire Turkish army was massed at Erzerum. The Russians are contenting themselves. it is said, with holding their positions while waiting endorsements.
 It was officially announced Sunday in Petrograd that the Russian littoral of the Black sea has been mined in many places for distance of 50 miles out from the coast. Ships are abso- lutely forbidden to sail at night in or out of Russian ports on the Black sea, through the mouths of the Rivers Dnieper and Bug. and on the Gulf of Kertch
