|'CAN'T SEIZE Me-
BUCHANAN
But Secret Service Plans to
Act on the War
rant
TO ARREST
OTHERS, ALSO
Indicted Congressman In
vokes Constitution
as Aid

Washington, Dec. 3l.--The arrest OF
Representative Buchanan OF Illinois. ex-
Representative Fowler, Henry B. Martin
and Herman Schutheis, indicted at New
| York in the alleged Labor's Peace coun-
ell strike conspiracy, was planned yes
| terday. Bench warrants were to be
served by United States Marshal Splain.
The department OF justice moved slow
ly in the matter of Representative Blu
chanan to be sure of its ground, as Bu-
chanan believes his official status as a
congressman makes him immune from
physical arrest 1t was expected an
agreement would be reached between the
department and Buchanan over the form
al procedure.
Fowler, Martin and Schultheis were
said already to have arranged to give
bail. An effort was also being made by
the four Washington men TO make their
pleas and arrange their bonds in the
federal court here without going to New
York.
Department of justice heads confirmed
reports that no effort will be made to
extradite Franz Won Rintelen from Lon
don. They declare Won Rintelen "cov-
cred his tracks" we'll in this country
He ran his own propaganda work, took
no orders from any one on this side of
the Atlantic and left conspirators to
work out their own plots. 1t was de-
clared unlikely that Won Rintelen would
be connected with the Fay, Crowley and
other alleged plots.
"There will not be the slightest diff
fculty in placing Fowler, Buchanan,
Martin and Schulteis under arrest said |
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Sarfaty yesterday. "Bench war
rants were issued and are in the hands |
Of United States marshals whose duty /
will be to find these men and place them
under arrest.
IF these men try to resist being
brought into the jurisdiction OF this
'ourt, they will have to sue out writs of
labeas corpus. But in the meantime
hey would have TO stay.
Even If they resorted TO such a step
he arguments would be heard promptly
md the defendants would be brought
lere next week at the latest.
"As TO the case Of Congressman Blu
hanan, who claims immunity on the
round that he can only be arrested for
reason, felony or breach Of peace, we
ontend that he has committed breach
( peace against the government, while
e contends that IL was only a mis-
emeanor. Never mind about that We !
I'LL bring him here with the Others"

CURRENT COMMENT
Preparedness and the 'Pork Barrel"

Once again the announcement comes
from Washington that sowing to lack
of time" there will be no attempt at a
national budget this year. The revenue
and appropriation bills will be drawn up
and passed in the same old way. Every.
one agrees, of course, that the existing
method is hopelessly bad, and that there
! is bound to be great waste as long as
il continues, but each year there seems
TO be some plausible excuse for just let
ting things stand as they are little
longer.
Under the present system there are
six or seven committees which pass upon
the big appropriation bills. There is no
team-play among them; If one commit
tee tries to retrench. it is quite likely
that the Others viii nullify its work by
calling ON Congress to spend more for
something else. Hence il is that the to-
tai appropriations keep mounting every
year, no matter which political party is
in power. There Is no hope for anything
else so long as the responsibility is d.
yided among SO many different author
tiles.
Need we wonder, then, at the attitude
Of those congressman who intimate that
II large sums are voted for increasing
the army and navy, there must also be
more liberal appropriations for rivers
and harbors Improvements, for public
buildings. good roads and all the rest

RUSSELL WON'T RUN
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
His Reason for Declining is Because he
Differs with Socialists
Over Defence.

Washington, Dee. 3l.-Charles Edward
Russell has notified the national head
quarters of the Socialist party that he
declines TO be a candidate for the So
cialist party nomination for president.
A news agency having asked Mr.. Rus
sell to give his reasons for declining, he
replied that he believes many Socialists
do not share his convictions as to the
war, the causes and lessons Of the war,
and the probable position of the United
States when the war shall end.
Also he informed that in the coming
year the Socialist party will probably
make a vigorous campaign against any
degree Of preparation for defense on the
part of the United States, and in view
Of existing facts he could not take active
part in such campaign.

CRISIS IS
AVERTED
Mild Form of Consumption
Placates Opponents in
British Cabinet
MAY EXEMPT
IRELAND FROM TT
The Manchester Guardian"
Refuses to Fall in |
Line

London, Dec. 3l.-The threatened Sc
rious upheaval in the British cabinet has
been averted, according to the general
belief here.
Effective opposition among the minis
tiers against the modified form OF con-
scription advocated by the premier
seems to have collapsed.
The reception of the governments de-
cision by opponents OF consumption IN
general seems to indicate the passing OF
the most serious phases of the crisis.
Ground for this belief is found in the
semi official statement of the govern
ment's intention to proceed with caution
in carrying out its plan of partial com
pulsion POSSIBLY exempting Ireland
from the application of the bill to be
introduced next week. and the moder-
ate expressions of trade union opinion.
In order to give time for possible
reconciliation of conflicting opinions on
the recruiting question, cabinet council,
which was called for yesterday, was fur
ther postponed until to-day, and there
is great hope that it will then be found
that the cabinet is in practical agree
ment on the acceptance of Premier As
quith's proposals.
The Manchester Guardian, the most
important, provincial newspaper in Eng
land, refuses to follow the lead of the
other Liberal party organs in aequiesc
ing in compulsory military service.
Nothing can be more unsatisfactory
or, we will say, irrational" -said The !
Guardian yesterday, than the way in !
which the government appears to be
drifting into reversal of one of the I
greatest of our national traditions and |
dividing the nation, hitherto so splendid
ly united"
The Guardian declares that the con
scription policy is being forced on the
country without relation to the actual
needs of the war, but merely to bring
about the triumph of an idea. Continu-
ing, the paper says:
"They 1.-THE conscriptionists) have long
held something not unlike the Prussian
view of the state and desire to militar.
lie us as Germany has been militar-
lied"

Further Russian successes in opera

cording to these advices, the Russian
troops which were said several days ago
to have penetrated the passes of the Car
pathian mountains and begun an ilva-
sion of Hungary in force have captured
eight Hungarian towns. There is no Off
ciaI confirmation of these statements,
however, and the latest official announce
ment from Vienna asserts that the Aus

strong positions and are preparing fun

Although it is admitted in Petrograd
that the Germans have occupied Russian
positions at Bolimow on the battle front
before Warsaw, the Russian war Office
states that the invaders later were driv-
