HOPE TO GET RID
OF TWODIPLONA.TS
Washington Anxious For Volun.
tary Withdrawal Of Boy-Ed
and Won N~uber-German
Embassy TO Protest.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 30.-Diplo-
matte circles await with interest the
protest of the German embassy on the
accusations against Captain Boy-ed,
the German naval attache, in connec-
ton with the activities of German
agents in supplying German sea raid
ers in the early days of the war. The
embassy is said to resent the publicity
given Captain Boy-ed. inasmuch as it
is admitted by Secretary Lansing that,
SO far as known, Begged acted within
the law.
1t has become known in Washington
that n government was hopeful that
Germany voluntarily would withdraw
Captain Boy-ed from the Washington
embassy. The same situation is said
to apply to Captain Won Nuber. Aus
trian consul general in New York. The
government has hesitated to demand
the recall of these diplomatic represen-
tatives owing to the strained relations
existing between the United States n
Austria and Germany. Official Wash
ington, it is said, would be greatly re-
lieyed it their governments would take
the hint that, despite the legality OF
any action Boy-ed and Won Nuber may
have taken, their presence has, in a
measure, aggravated affairs.
Just how strong the German EN-
bassy will make its protest is not
known. In some circles it is sale the
note will go SO far as to demand an
apology.
The embassy is particularly anxious
to determine whether Captain Boy-ed
| was included by Inference or otherwise
in the reference made by Assistant
to the defendants in the case as rid
ing rough shod over the laws of the
I United States, treating them as if they
were a of paper"

ocratS of the House ways and means
committee in session today, work of
organizing the Si~xty-fourth congress.
which a week hence, got
unde way. Practically all the majority
members of both branches of congress
had arrived here.
One of the most important questions
which awaited the consideration Of the
Senate caucus was a revision of the
rules to provide for cloture of debate.
A special committee, Of which Senator
owen, of Oklahoma, is chairman, has
prepared a report recommending a
modified form of c%loture, designed to

Senator Lewis. of Illinois, as party
whip" was forecast.
Vacancies to Be Filled.

mostly on the republican side. are to
pc MEG, as well as committee places
found Tor new democratic senator's.

a more difficult task because of the re-
duced democratic and increased repub-
lican membership. Not only are there
many democratic vacancies on most OF
the important committees, but the in
creased republican membership neces-
states changing the party ratio or
nearly all committees to prepare fol-
the enlarged minority. Their probably
will be. however, few changes in the
Craftsmanship of important commit
tees.
Three democratic on The
ways n means committee are TO be
filled and the naval committee reor-
ganized in view of the defense pro-
gram.
Five democratic vacancies are TO be
filled, owing to the retirement of three
advocates and two opponents of nava,

London, Nov. 29.-"An advertising

r~esentful of the American m~illionaire's

%dividuals in Europe-eXcept, perhaps,
among our enemies, who apparently

ANOTHER DAKOTA
LAW TO DISCARD
United States Supreme Court
Rules Against Validity of
Act Applying to Gross
Earnings.

Washington, D.. c.. Nov. 3O.-The
supreme court of the United States
today handed down a decision to the
effect that the gross earnings tax law
of South Dakota, as applied to inter-
state express companies, t~ransacting
business in the state, is unconstitu-
tionaI.
The decision grew out Of suits
brought by the American Express COM
pany and the W~ells-Fargo company to
resist the states tax claims.
This decision upsets a number Of
suits pending in South Dakota for the
collection of taxes claimed under the
provisions of the gross earnings law,
and will necessitate a revision Of the
state law at the next session Of the
legislature.

MARSHALL TO ESCAPE HARD
SENATE FIGHT ON CLOTuRE

President Marshall has written to a
friend that he does not expect to be
here until about December 10. This is
because Mrs. Marshall is still in an In
d~ianapolis hospital recovering from an
operation.
IT is important because it means that
h vice president will not preside in
h Senate at the outset of the cloture
fight. and will escape making rulings
which threatened to be embarrassing
TO him.
1t has been intimated that if he did
not rule to suit the democratic organ
ization in the Senate he would be
fought for vice president in 1916. Just
who will preside is not settled, as there
is strong opposition to Senator Clark,
Of Arkansas, for president pro tempore.

PEACE PLEA MADE
BY LONDON POST
British Newspaper Urges Gov
eminent to Offer Terms-Re-
export Treaty Is Termed
"Monstrous."

Lopdon, Nov. 29.-Belief that the
time has arrived for the allies to begin
to define clear and definite terms of
peace is expressed by the Post in an
editorial IN the ground that there then
will be less chance for losing in nego-
citations with what has been gained on
the sea and on the field. The Post con
tends that without selling the skin
before killing the bear" it may be as
sumed victory for the allies is assured
if only because without undue strain.
Great Britain could maintain a naval
blockade indefinitely, and history has
shown that such pressure alone would
in the end secure victory.
The newspaper also protests strong
ly against the treaty of
which has been negotiated between
Great Britain and Denmark, permitting
commodities to be reexported from
Denmark to neutral or ~belligerent
countries if shipments to ~belligerents
are not c~ontraband.
"In3 other words say the Post, "the
foreign office has created an agency
whereby this country may trade with
the enemy. This seems to us one
trous."
Washington, d. C.. Nov. 29.-While
in New York, the president is under
stood to have discussed the outlook foi
peace in Europe with Colonel House
who went abroad several months age
to investigate the situation for the
