DIR. A. J. McKelway. chairman OF the
citizens committee OF forty in behalf of
popular government In the District. and
secretary OF the national child labor
committee. yesterday filed with the Con-
gressional committee on fiscal relations
between the Federal and District gov
ernments a brief advocating suffrs &c
and self-government for the National
Capital.
THE denial OF the right Of self-gov-
eminent Is bad thing for the commu-
nity." says the McKelway brief. The
city of Washington has less public spirit
than any other city in America. Its de-
pendence upon the government has been
developed to the point OF meRdicancy.
For forty years favors have been
sought here from the powers that be.
through personal influence. rather than
the natural American way OF demand
ing ones rights. with power to enforce
the demand at the ballot box"

WILSON'S MESSAGE READY
President and Bis Advisers Agree on
Talk to Congress.

President Wilson and his cabinet
again agreed unanimously Tuesday
on the general character of the presi-
dents next annual address to con-
gress. The document Will declare
that the United States has humani-
tartan mission of peace in the world
and therefore must be ready to de-
fend it's rights to Independent and un-
molested action. Secretary (sarrison's
continental army plan for the train
ing of four hundred thousand citizen
soldiers in the next three years will
be strongly supported.
In his last message to congress in
which he opposed large added expen-
ditures on the army and navy the
president declared that it was proper
that young men should be given to
learn to be soldiers Sin such times as
they can command little freedom"
He will repeat this idea this year and
express the opinion that the plans
submitted by the army general staff
call for a standing force larger than
the country needs.
Navy plans will be pointed to as
carefully drawn after consultation
with experts. The necessity Of pro-
viding men, munitions and equip
ment will be declared as necessary as
the building of warships.
The administration plans to urge
merchant marine in connection with
lore facilities for the navy, and the
president IS expected to mention this
subject in his message.
In addition to national defense
which will take up conservation
measures, rural credits and the bill
giving a greater degree of self-goy-
ernment to the Philip Iines will be
discussed.

LIBERTY BELL HOME AGAIN
Was Seen by Twenty Million People
on its Pacific Coast Trip.

The Liberty Bell once more re-
poses in its shrine in Independence
Hall at Philadelphia after a journey
estimated at seventeen thousand
miles to the Californa cxpositions
where, according to its guardians, it
was viewed by ten million people,
one-tenth of whom kissed the relic.
Ten million other residents Of the
United States viewed the bell on its
Journey to and from the exposltions,
making total Of more than twenty
million who viewed it in the one hun
dred and forty-three days it was ab-
sent from Philadelphia.
Thirty states were crossed and
more than one hundred and seven
teen stops were made at cities and
towns on the outward and homeward
routes.
It was the eighth trip the bell has
taken since it rang out in celebration
Of independence in 1776. The next
year it was removed to Allentown to
save it from the British. In 1884 1t
took it's second trip when it was sent
to the New Orleans worlds exposl-
ton. The expositions at Chicago,
Atlanta. Charleston, Boston. and st.
Louis were visited in turn. Fear
that it might be injured by the long
trip to San Francisco caused many
patriotic societies to protest against
its most recent journey but these
fears proved groundless.

NOTHING AGAINST BOY=ED
Lansing Says State Department Will
Take No Action.

rake NO AcClOn.
Secretary Lansing made 1t clear
Wednesday that so far as he was able
to judge Captain Boyd, the Ger
man naval attache, was not guilty OF
any violation Of law in supplying
funds fcr tie sending out from
American ports Of Hamburg-Ameri-
can vessels to provision German war
ships at sea.
The secretary pointed out that the
matter could not become a subject
for cognizance Of the state depart
ment unless it were proved that Cap
tain Boy-Ed had knowledge Of the
false registration which Hamburg
American line agents are charged
with having made, in order to get
clearance for their vessels. State de-
partment officials do not understand
that Captain Boyd is so charged.
Secretary Lansing holds that the
arrangements to supply belllgerent
vessels at sea was not a violation OF
law unless it also were proven that
the same warship at sea. was repeat
edly supplied from American ports.
No proof to that effect is in posses
sion of the state department.
It was admitted &Tednesday, how
ever, as possible that the trial may
develop information to reopen +he
subject so far as the state depart
ment is concerned. 1t was pointed
out, however, that the state depart
ment to ask for the recall of any dip
!omatic officer does not require legal
proof of any violation OF law, but
can always act on the general princi-
ple of obnoxious activity.

TO THREATEN ENGLAND WITH
RETALIATORY ARMS EMBARGO
Wilson Will Try to Hold Democrats
In Check-Otheps Aim to EN-
barrasS the President.

England will be threatened with
retaliatoTy embargo legislation if she
does not discontinue her interfer-
ences with American shipping, ac-
cording to representatives and sena-
tors who are in Washington prepar-
ing eor the opening congress Decen-
Der 6. It was declared that a wide
spread plan is under way among the
lawmakers, principally those from
the south, to bring up the foreign
trade situation as soon as possible
after congress convenes.
Numerous plans are under cons'd-
Grafton. Some of them are simply
for political purposes to embarrass
the administration. At the organiZa-
ton conferences this week the Demo
cratic senators are expected to out
line a plan of campaign which will
harmonic as far as possible with the
ciews of the administration.
Senator Hoke Smith expects to
confer with President Wilson early
this week. He IS preparing a Tigor-
Gus speech on the British embargo
policy to be delivered shortly after
congress convenes.
President Wilson is extremely anE
'ious that nothing be done in congress
that will conflict with the policy o.
the administration in the conduct OF
foreign affairs by the state depart
ment. He will endeavor to hold the
Democrats in check.

RUflANIA IN SPOTLIGHT;
RUSSIA PROMISES TROOPS
Negotiations are Proceeding for the
Passage Of Soldiers to the
Serbian Theatre.

London reports Friday: Greek af-
fairs having emerged from the un-
certainty which for some time has
been a potential menace to the allied
campaign in the Balkans, Rumania's s
problem now commands chief atten-
ton in Europe. Although Rumanis
is beset with difficulties somewhat
similar to those which caused Greece
to hesitate, she Is not involved In the
same political turmoil and her situa-
ton is expected to mature more rap
idly.
Whatever German efforts have
made in Rumania, it Is believed that
they have been largely offset by the
presence of large Russian forces
close to the frontier and the now
rapidly developing Russian prepara-
tions, with Odessa as base, from
which no inference is possible than
her immediate entrance into the Bal
kan. conflict.
Emperor Nicholas Is said to have
promised the appearance Of Russian
troops in Bulgaria within a week.
There are increasing indications that
this campaign will be launched by
way Of Rumania, and it is reported
that conferences are being held be-
tween representatives Of Russia and
Rumania to obtain the latter's con-
sent to t1.is move.
This consent, as intimated clearly
by Rumanian statesmen, has depend
ed on whether the Allies gain pre-
ponaerance of forces in the Balkans.
Rumania gives evidence of being i'm
pressed strongly by the concentra-
ton of two hundred and fifty thou
sand Russian troops at Ismail, and
Reni, near her border.

GREECE Is NEUTRAL, BUT
WILL SATISFY TIE ALLIES
Greek Government to Discuss De-
nlands Which Do Not Com

London reports Monday: The
Greek government is ready to discuss
the propositions made by the Entente
powers and satisfy all demands
which will not compromise its neu-
tralitv, says an Athens dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph Company.
Rome, Italy, reports: Disquletlng
news comes from Athens. Greece
has returned to her dilatory tactics.
After agreeing to the demands OF the
Entente ministers that the Franco
British troops should be guaranteed
security and liberty of action OF
Greek soil, the Greek government
plans a new proposition. This is tnat
military experts shall be appointed to
discuss with the Greek general staff
those very demands which it has
been understood were satisfactorily
answered.
There is little daubt here that
some sinister influence has been at
work and according to an Athens
dispatch the Allies have humbly pre-
sented to the Greek government a
new note asking a more concrete an
swer to the original demands Of the
Entente ministers. Another Athens
dispatch states that Premier Skou-
loudis conferred with King Constan-
tine over the demands OF the Allies

SLOW ADVANCE In SERBIA
Bulgars and German Move Slowing
Up, Says London.

London reports Wednesday,: Con-
Trajectory claims to victory in the
Balkans leave the present situation
in doubt, but it is evident the ad-
vance Of the Austro-German armies
and their Bulgarian allies is not so
rapid as earlier reports indicated.
Apparently heavy fighting is under
way in the section where the Teu-
tonic invaders are attempting to
form a junction with the Bulgarians,
The fate Of Monastir stilfis in the
balance. Reports emanating from
Athens state that the Bulgarlans,
having regard for Greek susceptible
ties, are awaiting for the Germans
to come up and occupy the city.
Berlin has revived the report that
Russia is contemplating great cam
paign in the Balkans, for which
large army has been gathered at
Odessa. The Germans who have
given publicity to this report, do not
seem at all sure RumaDia will refuse
permission to this army to cross her
territory.
Petrograd reports slight advance
along the Styr river with sharp
checks for the Germans and Aus
trians on both the northern and
southern portions Of the eastern
front. Vienna, however, says there
is nothing worthy of report along
this line. Nevertheless, there is ap-
prehensicn in Vienna and Berlin OF
the result of the expected Russian
offensive in the extreme southeast.
Italy looks for the immediate fall
Of Gorilla, which, according to the
attest reports, is dominated by artil-
lery of both sides and forms no
mans land.

CANADA COMMANDERS WHEAT
In MANY GRAIN ELEVATORS
Canadian Grain Commission Under
War Act Seizes All High Grade
Wheat in Public Elevators.

The Canadian government has
commandeered all high grade wheat
in elevators from Fort William, on
Lake Superior, to the Atlantic coast.
The action was taken by the Cana
dian grain commission under the war
act. The wheat seizesd was grades
one, two and three northern. It was
the property of grain shippers and
millers. That taken is all the wheat
which Saturday was in public eleva-
tors.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about twenty million
bushels. A considerable amount is
the property of American grain deal
ers.
The grain was taken Saturday
night so that grain exchanges would
be affected as little as possible. It
is stated officially that the price will
be fairly adjusted and the owners
will be promptly paid by the Cana
dian government.
The domestic supply Of Russia Is
more than sufficient to meet the
needs of that country. Had the Dar'
danelles been forced the surplus o.
Russian wheat would have made the
present action unnecessary.
While the wheat just taken was
commandeered to fill an order from
the British government for a large
quantity of wheat, it is understood
that most of it will be shipped tt
Italy. The Canadian government vii
look after the transportation to thu
Atlantic seaboard, and from there
shipment across the Atlantic will bt
undertaken by the British govern
ment in the same way that oats ant
hay have been handled for the pas

SERBIAN CAMPAIGN NOT
YET OVER SAYS RANDOM
British Capital Hopes That Winry
Weather May Afford Time
to Render Aid.

London reports Monday: The Brit
ish public is not inclined to grant the
German contention that the Serbian
campaign Of the central powers mas
been brought to q successful conclu-
sion. The hopes is expressed that the
wintry weather will give time for re-
inforcing the Anglo French troops
until they are strong enough to as
sumo the offensive before the invad-
ers have consolidated their positions
in Serbia. Russia also is content on
to play part in these operations.
In the meantime the only active
military operations seem to be cen
tering around Monastir, the fate OF
which is obscure The many contra
dictory reports vary from the asser'
ton that the city is still in the HANDS
of the Serbians to the claim that the
Bulgarians, accompanied by detach-
ments of Austrians and Germans
have occupied the city.
Farther to the north It IS reported
that the Serbian armies divided into
two sections, are retreating into AL.
bania and Montenegro. 1t is not yel
apparent whether Austro-Germal
forces are to be sent against the
Anslo-French lines north Of Saloniki
but at the extreme end OF the Balkan
front the Montenegrins are expect,
ing a. heavy attack from the Aus
trians. The Entente ministers al
Athens are said to have received the
reply of Greco to- their second note:
Greece is reported to have promised
to meet all demands which do not
threaten to compromise her neutral
ity.
An unmistakable lull prevails
along the eastern front. From the
west come official reports Of a lively
air and sea skirmish off the Belgian
coast.

Greek Minister Considers Demands
Less Exacting Than Were

situation had been cleared by pre-

Democratic sentiment. Judging

first two weeks Of June.
eve are the dominant party now" "
said the chairman, "and usually the
party in power holds it's convention
first. I believe we are all open mind
ed as to where the convention should
be held" He pointed out that the
selection of a convention city for
1916 would not have the same po!it-
!cal significance as in 1912 when he
led the party to Baltimore because 1t
was convenient to the state from
which his candidate was to come.
Bids for the convention have been
received from Chicago, St. Louis, Dal-
las and San Francisco.
Mr.. McCombs expects q full meet
ing Of the members OF the nationa'
committee in Washington on Decem-
Der 2 when an effort will be made to
decide upon the time and place for
the convention.
