WATERWAYS AND PORK

On Monday evening, after a week OF
continuous fighting, the allied hliousterlng
forces in the Senate overwhelmed the ad-
vocates of the rivers and harbors bill and
forced them to an unconditional SURRENDER
The motion of Senator Bankhead OF Ala
bama, Democrat, to recommlt the Dill 10

to report a new bill carrying a total ap-
propriation not exceeding S0,OoO'OO was
debated eight and a half hours Inc

and eleven Republicans voted to recommlt

publicans and cne Democrat registered
themselves as in favor of it as 1t stood
The success Of the flibuster, which was
led by Senators Burton, of Ohio; hen-
von. OF Iowa, and Norris, OF Nebraska,
was warmly applauded by administration

The compromise plan for the remaking
of the bill calls for the reduction of the

II had been cut from one original S93-

FnREIGN RELATIONS

The steamship Robert Dollar sailed
from Rio de Janeiro, Wednesday, flying
the British colors. Two weeks ago the
Robert Dollar made application at RIO
for a transfer Of Canadian registry to
American, under the registry law or
August IS. The British Consul protested
and the transfer was refused. The Incl
dent derives its Importance from its ex-
preston of the British attitude toward
President Wilson'S plan for the purchase
Of foreign steamers to he operated by
government-c corporation. The
President, on Thursday, said that the
ship purchase bill would not be taken
from the Administrator legislative call
endar.
It was announced in Washington that
President Wilson had determined to toler-
ate no longer the offensive public COM
ments of foreign diplomatic representa-
tives concerning matters of domestic con-
Germ This announcement relates particu-
larly to the alleged statements of Sir
Lionel Garden, former British Minister to
Mexico, criticising our Governments Mex
lean policy; of Baron Wilhelm Won
Schoen, of the German diplomatic serv-
ice, who is said to have declared that
Japan wants war with this country; and
of A. Rustem Bey. the Turkish Ambas-
sador to the United States. whose refer
ences to lynchings in the Southern states
and water cures" in the Philippines
were not kindly received at the White
House It is believed that the American
Government has asked for Rustem Beys
recall, or will do so, and that 1t will
take official action with reference to the
Won Schoen and Garden interviews.
Russia and Sweden this week informed
Washington of their intention TO sign
peace commission treaties with the United
States. These treaties will ne like those
which have been negotiated with Great
Britain, France, Spain, China and % other
nations of the world, and which provide
that all disputes which cannot be set
tied through the ordinary diplomatic
channels shall be referred to a perma-
nent commission, and that hostilities
shall not begin within year after such
reference of the questions at issue.

The New York Evening Post which,
like practically all organs of opinion, had
urged the acceptance of the truce, regret

The most convenient way to make a
shapely waist Of this kind Is to buy a
ready-made corset cover or brassiere
and supply 1t with ruffles. This will
give the wearer a normal figure. There
is no economy in making a plain un-
dergarment of this kind at home, be-
cause the ready-made brassiere sells

placing the rufle. for the simple req
son that the work required doubles
