WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.--Kaiser
wilhelm's message to President VIII
son. protesting against alleged use OF
dumdum bullets by the allies, and
the alleged outrages by the Germans
against the Belgians, was today be-
fore the president. according to adj
mission from high official source.
Although the message. sent by
cable from Berlin, was In the state
department for some hours before 1t
was given to President Wilson, ad-
ministration ofYicials. including Sec.
Rotary Bryan, shrouded its receipt In
mystery.
This was the second message d.
rect from Kaiser Wilhelm. The first,
characterized by a high diplomatic
source as I'm complaining Tone" ex.
planned that the kaiser was unwilling
ly drawn into the conflict, and voiced
q protest against anti-Germanic sentj-
ment In this country.
Diplomats here today saw In the
second message q crafty move by tho
kaiser to forestall the criticism which
the Belgian commissioners, now en-
route here, will voice to President
Wilson The president will receive
them. probably early next week.
Their protest, however, will merely be
heard. No action on the part OF this
government In anticipated, nor did
the kaiser's last message call for any
action.

MILLER SEES
ROUT. OF MACHINE
Says WoOd-Shields Forces vii
Lose Control of Democratic
State Committee

Sidney T. Miller, head of the Pro-
gr.ssive Democratic league. issued
the following statement. Wednesday
afternoon:
UP to p. m. Wednesday, definite
reports had been received from over
10 per cent OF the Democratic county
conventions. These assure the defeat
of Chairman Shields for reelection
and insure a new deal in the state
central committee. The Wood Shields
forces have lost control In the Second,
Third. Fourth, Eighth, Ninth, Elev-
enth and Twelfth districts, and are not
definitely assured Of q victory in the
Seventh. The only strength develop
ed by the organization forces was In
the Sixth district. where no organized
opposition was attempted, and in the
Fifth. the Grand Rapids district, where
the Hummer machine was In control.
"Of the % organization men in the
present state central committee not
more than three will be reelected,
probably only two.

little organization and scant funds to
rely on, In dicates definitely that the
retirement Of Chairman Shields In
favor Of some man. big enough and
fair enough, to unite the party will
be demanded by the state convention.
Progressive Democrats have had no
candidate for the chairmanship but
believe that conferences OF the dele
gates to the state convention and con-
sideration of the wishes Of Gov. Fer
ris. as head of the ticket, will result
in the selection OF chairman salts
factory to the party rank and file.
Democrats Of Michigan are to be
congratulated that the present con-
test will make 1t possible to wage a
strong fight, under satisfactory leader
ship, for the election Of Gov. Ferris
and other Democratic candidates this
fall; that there will be no attempt in
1916 by the new state central commit
tee to balk the sentiment OF the party
rank end file for the nomination Of
President Wilson; that II Will be i'm
possible for any unfair, or reactionary
leader. to be elected national commit
teeman In the 1916 primaries; and
that hereafter all Democratic voters
will be given chance to vote direct
for state central committeeman"
