CHARTER Fight
CERTAIN; GREEN
fLAYS MAJORITY
In Minority Report He Points
Out Political Scheming Be-
hind Committee Plans

Two diametrically opposed reports,
assuring a vigorous fight on the floor
Of the charter revision convention,
will be submitted tonight by the sub
committee of FIVE to the special CON-
fnittee of Is named by the convention
to pass on various charter proposals
and report back to the general con-
vention.
The two reports are the majority
and minority opinions Of this sub
committee of five.
Four out of five of the members of
the subcommittee are expected to
sign the majority report, which, as
already published, provides for the
ward system of electing supervisors,
for the appointment of district magis-
tIates by the mayor, and for the elec-
ton of a superintendent of city works
with broad executive powers. 1t is
this report, embodied in formal char
ter proposal, which has aroused en-
phatic criticism on the part of adyo-
Gates of a bona fde short ballot"
government.
The minority report has been pre-
pared by Francis J. Green and he
stands alone in opposing the long bal
lot that the majority members seek
to encourage. His minority report hits
straight from the shoulder in con-
demning what the majority OF the
committee is referring to the conven-
ton.
Charter Plan Filled With Detail.
The meeting tonight is to be held
in the supervisors hall. The major
ity report has been printed. In its
printed form it takes up 30 or more
newspaper columns. 1t goes into a
tremendous mass of detail In fact,
criticism is already arising because OF
the details handled in the charter
which should, say those who have
studied the matter, be handled by
ordinance. Such things as the loca-
ton of hitching-posts, the placing of
signs, the planting of shade-trees and

GERMANS HATE
 AMERICANS ONLY
 SECOND TO ENGLISH

BOSTON, Aug. 1O.-In a special ar ticle in the Boston Globe, D. T. Cur tin writes that the German feeling to- wards America has ripened into hate second only to that decreed upon Eng land. The KoIniche Zeitung, in an ar- tlcle entitled How America Makes War" quotes from Gen. Sheridan's report of how he laid waste the en- tire country from Blue Ridge to the North Mountains, adding that 1t is unbefitting for a nation which has perpetrated such frightfulness to ac- cuse the Germans of barbarities. "The average German" according to Currin, openly hates America today and is not utterly. indifferent for another war, but is even anxious for it. The army is on a higher pedastal than ever, with tho foreign office groyeling in the dust at the base" Herr Eugene zim- merman's recommendations in the Lo- kal Anzeiger for avoidance of fool ish rupture with the United States and for the announcement of the the- ory that the United States has no right to sell munitions to belligerents, are widely criticised.

But there are two consid- erations which make the success of a merely dilatory policy doubtful The nature of the submarine campaign makes 1t possible to avoid the of- fense which Wilson has indicated will be regarded as final In the second place there exists doubts whether Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollwegs control is at all perfect. so far as the German admiralty is concerned.

PETRoeRAD SAYS ARMY
 WILL ESCAPE CAPTURE

PETRoGRAD Aug. 1O-Grand Duke Nicholas and his armies have escap- ed the trap set by the German gener- al staff. While 1t is well understood that Warsaw and all that part of Po- land west of the Bug river are lost to Russia, there is no sign of panic here. There is instead a feeling of grim con- fidence that Russia's vast resources, which are unsurpassed, will yet be the deciding factor in the war. Late reports from the front characterize the fighting in the Narew region as rear guard engagements in which the Russians have been uniformly sue. cessful. This indicated that the Cars forces have kept open their lines of communications and that neither von vindenberg nor von Mackensen has been able to cut the railway lines for a successful withdrawal from the vistula front.

PARIS. Aug. 1O.-A sensation was caused in Paris by an article publish ed in the Echo de Paris, which is in effect a call upon Russia to send men to fight with the Allies in the western theatre. It was written by General Cherflis. one of the ablest military cri- ties of France.
 We can manufacture more guns than we have use for or men to use them" said Gen. Charflis. Then why should not Russia send us while the White Sea is open, two or three corps of its army without horses. without arms and without cannons
 They would he armed and equipp- ed in France and fight besides our troops. The announcement of such endorsements would have a moral force. The point where this reinforce ment would be used is the only sec ret that the censor need guard"
