RUSSIA SUSPECTS
MILITARY PLOT
PETRoGRAD GENERAL STAFF BE-
LIEvEs ENvELoPlNG MOVEMENT
OF THE TWO GERMAN ARMIES.

Petrograd.-Officers Of the Russian
general staff believe that the Germans
plan of operation in Northern Poland
is to concentrate attention upon the
Russian fortresses along the rivers
Niemen and Bobr, and with their left
wing safely established on Russian
territory to make a general southerly
movement, meeting Austro-German
forces advancing northward from the
Carpathians and acquiring large Sec
ton Of Poland, in addition to that al
ready under their control.
The success of this gigantic move
ment is dependent upon the ability of
the Germans to capture the line OF
fortresses, of which Ossowetz is the
first to be singled out The latest
communication from the Russian gen.
eral staff indicates that the Germans
have achieved no success in this ini-
tial attempt.
In view of the difficulty of penetrat-
ing the fortified lines at this point
where the marshy land presents a ser
ious obstacle, the Germans evidently
are shifting their attack to Lomza
hoping to encircle the fortresses In.
stead of taking them by direct as.
sault.

DOOR NOT
OPPOSED BY JAPAN
WANTS CHINA TO ATTAIN REAL
DIGNITY OF INDEPENDENCE
GUARANTEES INTEGRITY.
COUNT OKUMA GIVES VIEWS
Says That Mischief Makers Have
Been Trying to Play China Against
Japan and America.

Tokyo.-The Japanese premier,
Count Okuma, said that in presenting
its demand to China, Japan had no
intention of trespassing on China's
rights or interfering with the open
door policy. Japan's desire, he said,
was that China should attain the real
dignity of independence and not fall
prey of any nation.
Count Okuma's remarks were made
to Prof. Shailer Mathews of Chicago
and Prof. Sydney l.. Gulick of New
York as they were taking leave of the
premier. They sailed for San Francis
co, having completed their mission
for the Federal Council of Churches
press declares the work that they have
done in fostering cordial relations be-
tween Japan and the United States
is of historic significance and will be
most helpful in maintaining the friend
ship OF the two nations.
Count Okuma stated to Prof. Math-
ews and Prof. Gulick that the integ-
rity and prosperity of China were not
only to the advantage of Japan, but
constituted the sole guaranty Of peace
in the Orient To secure this peace,
he said, was the underlying motive OF
japanese diplomacy. Japan had no
thought of infringing upon the rights
of other nations.
Efforts recently have been made to
invent some plausible reason for a
disruption between Japan and Ameri-
ca" the premier continued. These
attempts having failed, the michief
in which the two powers may be made
to clash. i see no reason for such a
conflict"
Count Okuma said Japan and Great
Britain had a well grounded under
standing concerning equality Of oppor
tunity in China and the integrity OF
that nation. In accordance with the
well known policy of the United
States, he believed that American
manufacturers would find the Chinese
markets open 10 tnem.

DEFEAT
ST|RS PETROGRAD
SAYS EMPEROR WILLIAMS SOL
DIERS ABANDONED LARGE
NUMBER OF GUNS.
HASTY RETREAT EXECUTED
Claim All German Troops Which
Crossed the Nemen Have Been
Forced Back to Other Bank.

Petrograd.-Theh highest importance
is attached by the Russian military
authorities to the German defeat at
PrzasnysZ. 1t is asserted by Russian
staff otiicres that the Germans hope
of success during their operations OF
the last fortnight along the northern
front was based upon their confidence
in breaking the Russian line at Przas-
nysz.
This attempt by the Germans to
strengthen the position of their left
wing, which was an important part
Of their plan for a gigantic encompass
ing movement extending from Angus
towo to Eastern Galicia, is said by
the Russian leaders to have failed de-
tinitely.
The reports state the retirement OF
the Germans in the north is more de-
cided and precipitate than any hereto
foro in this theater. They state that
the Germans have abandoned large
numbers of heavy and light guns and
have even left behind slightly wound
ed soldiers in an effort to execute q
hasty retreat
This condition of affairs, according
to the Russian viewpoint, assumes
added significance from the fact that
the Germans are said to have employ
ed some of their best troops in this
fighting. There are many indications
that the Germans were entirely conf
dent of success.
The reported German plan for un-
dertaking a siege Of Grodno would
now appear to be venturesome with
the Russians advancing along the left
bank Of the Niemen toward East Prus-
sia and endangering the position of
the German left flank The claim is
made here that all the German troops
which recently crossed the Niemen
haven forced back to the other bank.

Suggest Commission Be Created to
Pass Form, Style and Constitu-

New Orleans

New Orleans
Three OF the most prominent and
successful members of the New Or
leans bar told the Legislative lnvesti-
eating Commission that they favor the
enactment of law providing for the
recusation OF judges of the Louisiana
Supreme Court in all cases where
there is close kinship between judge
and counsel. The enactment of such
a law is necessary, they testified, In
order to create a greater degree OF
public confidence in the courts. The
witnesses before the commission were
attorneys Edgar H. Farrar, Henry p.
Dart and Charles P. Fenner. All of
the witnesses favor the addition of two
justices to the membership of the
supreme court and the division Of the
court into two sections, with the
Chief Justice as presiding officer OF
each section.
Each of the witnesses formed the
passage of a law putting the clerk oi
the supreme court on a salary basis
They also agreed that any surplus re
sulting from the supreme court files
should be used in the employment OF
expert clerks for the members of the
court.
A suggestion of Mr.. Farrar that 9
legislative commission be created tc
pass upon the form, style and consti
tutionality of all bills, except emer
gency statutes, before being formally
introduced in either branch of tbs
General Assembly, received the heart,
endorsement Of Mr.. Dart
