CONGRESS is ORGANIZED

Observation-Disclosures assembled
and organized on Dec. 6 for the session
which is expected to b. the greatest

Grafton.
Four hours work in the House saw
Speaker Clarke returned to the chair:
Representative Mann returned TO the
leadership OF the Republican minor,
Ity; the Introduction of 1000 bills
and resolutions, many of them pro-
posing measures of national defense
and many more in opposition; the re-
appearance OF constitutional amend
ments to enfranchise nj and a
miniature rules Sight that flickered
out with the adoption of last years
rules with a Few changes.
In the Senate practically nothing
was done except the election CT Sen
ator Clarke OF Arkansas as president
pro tempore. Vice-President Marshal
was absent because of the illness Of
his wife.
Both houses then, after sending a
joint committee to the White House
10 give Official notice OF the opening
OF Congress-, adjourned until Dec. Z
when the real business of the session
begins with President Wilson's aG.
dress to a joint session in the hal
of the House at 1890 o'clock.
The greatest budget Of expenditures
ever placed before any American Con.
gress in times OF peace was brought in
from the various branches of the gov
eminent, the total being some $40.
OO0, 900 more than was asked for last
year. The great part Of the proposed
increased expenditure is for the EN-
larged army and navy programs and
aside from working out the problem Of
national defense, it will be the bust
ness of Congress to raise the revenue
to pay fCs it.

De MOCRATS 10 ST. LOUIS
1916 Convention Will Be Held There
June "a National Committee
Meeting a Love Feast.

WashlngtOn.-The Democratic ma.
tional convention of 1916 will be held
at st. Louis beginning Wednesday,
Juno "A, at noon. The Democratic ma.
tlonal committee in session here
named the convention city and adopt,
ed resolutions calling for the renom-
lnation and reelection Of Woodrow
Wilson as "the trusted leader Of ma
tional Democracy"
Chicago and. Dallas contested with
st. Louis for the honor OF the conven-
ton, but st. Louis easily led from the
start n o. On the second ballot.
When the trend OF the voting was
seen Texas moved hat the choice OF
St. Louis be made unanimous. Dal-
las held second place on the first bal
lot, but was displaced by Chicago on
the second roll call.
The result Of the first ballot was:
st. Louis 25, Dallas Il, Chicago IL.
On the second ballot the vote was: St.
Louis 2s, Chicago 10, Dallas 9.
Political leaders in Washington now
regarded it as practically certain that
Chicago will be selected for the Re-
publican convention when the nation
al committee Of that party meets here
next Tuesday. The date for this con-
vention probably will be late in June.
The opening of the session of the
committee was given the atmosphere
OF a love feast when Thomas J. Pence
OF North Carolina, a protege of Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels. was elect
ed secretary and in a speech OF &C
c~eptance declared reports of differ
ences between himself and National
Chairman w. F. McCombs were en-
tirely without foundation. Mr.. Pence.
regarded by many as a representative
OF the administration. said. amid
cheers. that he had worked harmoni-
ously with Mr.. McCombs in the past
and purposed to work tremendously
with him in the future.
Chairman McCombs also arose to
remark that the Democratic committee
would continue to work indefatigab lv
for the further success of the party,
he declared that there was not a
cloud on the Democratic horizon and
That 1t was the duty Of the committee
to see hat none should gather.

BERLIN ASKS INFORMATION
German Government Wants to Know
Why Capt. Boyd and Capt.
Won Papen Are UrWeIcome.

NaShIngtOn.-GeTmany has notified
the United States that she desired to
kno" upon what grounds the state de,
pa9tment asks the withdrawal OF Capt.
boE-td, the naval attache of the Ger
man embassy here, and of Capt. Won
Papen, the military attache. Score
tary Lansing received the request from
TWO sources-from Count Won Berns-
torff, the ambassador, and from the
Berlin foreign office through Ambas-
q Gerard.
The United States will reply prompt
ly. Mr.. Lansing will not discuss the
facts nor will he give the sources of
information concerning the activities
or the attaches in connection with ma
val and military matters to which the
state department objected. Without
reference to the reasons which prompt
ed the department to ask the with
drGwal of the attaches. it is stated,
h United States will stand upon the
established understanding among ma
tlons that an intimation that a diplo-
matte officer has made himself dis
agreeable is sufficient to cause his re-
mOyal.
Ii was broadly animated in Ger
many's request for information thai if
the United States based its action upon
anything less than the developments
OF the Hambarg-American line con-
spiraCy trial III New York or the case
Of James F. j. Archibald, the Ameri-
can war correspondent who secretly
carried papers for Capt. Won Papen,
as well as DR.. Dumba, the recalled am
bassador of Austria, the Berlin for

drawal of the two officers.

tolumbus.-The injection of cold
water into a hot boiler is now believed
to have caused the explosion at the
gin and grist mill of J. f. Cox. a few
miles west of this city. which killed
Charles Cox, son of the owner of the
plant, and two negro employees, Isaac
Dickinson and Richard Houston.
Mr.. Cox received a blow on the head
which caused death, while the bodies
or the negroes were literally torn to
pieces. The body of one was hurled
several feet against a wall and horri-
bly, mangled. while the other was torn
asunder, parts having been picked up
at various distances from the point
where the explosion occurred. Wal
ter Ferguson was standing near Mr..
and was seriously injured. Three
negroes suffered minor injuries. The
plant was wrecked.

all fell at h first volley. but the re.
mainder sank to the ground with the

This is said to have been the first

GREECE'S SILENCE DISTURBS
Entente Powers May Urge Stern Ac-
ton TO Force the Hand of King
Constantine

LOndOn.-The negotiations between
Greece n the allied powers at Ath
ems still drag, new bitches seemingly
out. The people of the allied Coun
tries, particularly those of France and
Italy, are becoming impatient over the
continual delays, and the press is de
handing thai stern action be taken to
demonstrate to King Constantine and
his ministers the determinatica OF
the quadruple entente to secure the
assurances demanded. New proposals
are said to have been made by France
ing an agreement.
n attitude of ROumania also re-
mains undecided. Since the dispatch
announcing the closing of Roumanian
ports to foreign trade was received,
silence has descended on Bucharest
and every n is awaiting a%nxiousiy
the next move, which will give a mean
ing to this order. The general belief
here is that the Roumanian cover
ment is waiting for the concentration
of a sufficient Russian force in Bes-
sarabia n a large enough Anglo
French army in Southern Servia to
make victory certain before joining the
allies.
Meanwhile the Austro-Germans and
Bulgarians continue rounding up the
few Servian troops remaining in Ser
via, and also are prosecuting with their
energy the campaign against
Montenegro.
Unusual calm prevails on the vari-
Gus battle fronts. even the Italians ap-
parently slackening their offensive,
propably in preparation for the next
phase. which they hope will place Cor
liza in their hands, with other COM
handing positions on which the Aus
trians hold has weakened during the
last weeks of heavy fighting.

]. S. SENDS PROTEST
ON AhCONA SINKING
CATEGORICAL DEMANDS MADE
IN NOTE FORWARDED BY
STATE DEPARTMENT..
ASKS AUSTRIA'S DlSAVOWAL
Unsatisfactory Explanation Offered
Is Cause OF Vigorous Action BY
Governmsnt-kttack On Pc
trolite Is Irritating.

Washington-A vigorous protes1
against the sinking Of the steamship
Ancona by an Austrian submarine ha:
been sent to Austria by Secretary d
State Lansing. It has been learned
that the note was SEM following a cab
met meeting.
Demands made on Austria are:
That the government disavow the
act
That assurances be given tina there
will be no repetition OF such warfare
That PREPARATION and Indemnity be
given Americans concerned.
That the submarine commander
guilty of the outrage be punished by
the government.
Austria's unsatisfactory expiana,
ton, which cOnflicted with the official
reports of United States consuls at
Algiers, Naples and Marseilles and
the report Of Ambassador Page at
Rome, prompted TIE protest. The Ital
ian statement and the stories of the
survivors We're also widely at vari-
ance with Austria's version Of the
facts.
The United States takes the unqual-
flied position that it has been estab-
lished that the AncCna was attacked
Without warning. 1t is also held as
an established fact that the ship was
fired upon while lifeboats we're being
filled with passengers.
These conclusions are reached by
this government despite the sweeping
denial in Austria's first statement of
the allegations of the American sur
vivors and the Italian government
which We're denounced as "mep1acious
inventions.' A second dispatch from
Austria was to the effect that a report
could not be made until the statement
of the submarine commander was OBJ
tanned.
One Of the latest communications to
the state department was from Con
sui Dean Mason, at Algiers, who stated
unqualifiedly that passengers were
still aboard the Ancona when it sank.
Thus far this government has not
been apprised Of the report made by
the submarine commander to his gov
eminent. The delay has irritated ad-
ministration officials, particularly in
view of the attack on the Standard
Oil steamer Petrolite by a submarine
flying the Austrian flag.
