AMERICA WILL
KEEP FROM WAR
BUT EMERGENCY LEGISLATION
is NEEDED TO MEET ITS
CONSEQUENCES.

Washing ton.-The European war
mand for emergency legislation has
caused the president and administra-
ton leaders to make every effort to
assure quorum in Congress. AL
ready these efforts have resulted In
house absentees flocking in on every
train.
A quorum has been present in the
Senate all the time, but many sena-
tors are absent. Democratic absen-
tees are being particularly urged to
return to participate in conference
to be held this week to consider the
legislative program.
While the conference primarily is
to determine on war revenue meas
ure to offset losses in revenue due to
the war, some aspects of the nations
foreign relations, with particular re-
gard to the Far East, may be con-
sidered.
Philippine exports are giving the
administration concern because of the
conflict between Japan and Germany
A plan to place a ban on exports
from the island except to the United
States while the war in Europe con-
tinues is under consideration. 1t is
argued that should shipments from
the Philippines to Germany or Austria
be captured by the Japanese an en-
barrassing situation might arise. The
same might be true should exports
to Japan be seized by Germany. Ad'
ministration senators are urging &C
ton by Congress 10 avert trouble
which might be precipitated through
Philippine commerce.
The slump in customs receipts be-
cause Of the war has made a special
internal revenue tax necessary. The
president probably will address Con
gress on the subject during the week,
and the Democratic conference will
discuss II fully.
A conference argument on the ad-
ministration war risk insurance bill is
expected soon. The bill probably will
be signed before the weeks end

"PARIS OR DEATH" Is
THE GERMAN WAR CRY

London.-The Times correspond
ent at Ostend records at second hand
a conversation with German Off
Ger from Brussels, who said that
frantic efforts were being made to
inflict a crushing blow on the allies,
especially on the English forces. Not
withstanding the success achieved by
the German army, the dispatch says,
there is a feeling among many Ger
man soldiers that they are fighting
against too great odds.
Despite all efforts to conceal the
news from Prussia it is said infor'
nation Of a disquieting character is
beginning to circulate among the
German forces. Anxiety was intensi-
fled when $4,000 men passed the
Mouse by the bridge of Andenne at
Settles, between Namur and Liege,
en- route for German Poland.
The emperor has made it known to
every soldier that his orders are to
take Paris or die, the dispatch con
cludes.
A Copenhagen dispatch to the
Times says that the German difficult
ty in justifying the destruction OF
Louvain is shown by the publication
of a new version, different from the
former, and apparently equally un
true.
1t is now said that the inhabitants
finding only one battalion of re
serves and transport column in the
town formed the impression that the
Germans were evacuating. There
upon the priests served out ammuni
ton to the people, who fired on the
unsuspecting Germans, woundine
many. Twenty-four hours of street
fighting followed and as a result part
of the town was burned. The pre-
vious version had said that the at
tack was deliberately devised by the
Belgian authorities to synchronizt
with a plot in Antwerp.

CRUSHING DEFEAT
Of THE AUSTR|ANS
NAME OF ST. PETERSBURG HAS
BEEN CHANGED sY IMPERIAL
ORDER TO PETRoGRAO.

London.-A dispatch to tine Daily
News from Rome declares that
news has been received there from
Bucharest. Roumania. stating that
the Russians have inflicted a crushing
defeat on the Austrians in Galicia.
The Russians inflicted loss of 20
600 men on the enemy. who sought
to cross the Nistula.
The Central News publishes dis
patch from Rome saying kilograms
received there from Bucharest de-
clare that the Austrian defeat in Ga
licia was colossal. Trains are trans
porting tens of thousands of wound
ed; many Austrian regiments have
been destroyed.
A dispatch from Bucharest, which
reached the Central News at London
by way OF Rome. says the Roumanian
general staff considers the battle on
the Austro- Russian frontier will be
decisive. They believe defeat of
the Austrians will be followed by a
general instruction and that, there
fore, whatever may be the sacrifice,
the Austrians will not fall back. They
are now making strong effort and
are recalling even the troops engaged
against France and Servia.
A dispatch to the Times from St.
Petersburg gives the following COM
ment on the Russian operations
against the Austrians
'The Russian operations against
the Austrians are considered by rec
ognized military writer's to have
reached the stage where decisive vic
tories may be within reach. The cap
ture of the railroad center, 40 miles
south of Lemberg, involves the cap
ture OF railway communication with
the Austrian fortresses on the Knies-
ter and in Bukovina. Thus the south
ern port of Galicia, as we'll as Buko-
portions Of Galicia, except by cir
cuitous route across the Carpathians.
AS result the iron ring is closing
around Lemberg."
The Hague correspondent OF the
Express says:
There is the greatest alarm in
Berlin over the advance OF the Rus
sian troops. The news that the en-
peror has left the western headquar-
tiers and moved to the Russian from.
tier has shown the residents of the
capital where the immediate peril
lies.
"A story has been circulated that
the Russians are preparing to avenge
Louvain by treating Berlin in the
same way as the Germans treated
Louvain. Many persons are going
! to Norway, Denmark and Switzer-
land"
dispatch to the Reuter- Telegraph
Company from St Petersburg says
that by imperial order the city Of
/ St Petersburg. capital of the Rus
sian empire since 1872, will hence
forth be known as Petrograd. This
| change eliminates the Teuton con-
struction in the name by which the
chief city OF Russia has been known
since It was founded by Peter the
Great in 1903.
