more convention, and supported, first,
 Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, and
 then Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
 At the time, he was considered the most
 representative democrat in the island So
 good a democrat was he considered, as
 a matter of fact, that he was made a
 member Of the committee selected to
 notify Thomas R. Marshall that he had
 been nominated to the vice presidency
 of the United States. MT. Jones' at con- siderable expense to himself, served on that unnecessary though conventional committee.
 And then his democracy having been so signally recognized, he applied to the good democratic administration for a job. He was supported by every member mot only the democratic majority-of the Porto Rico legislature, and by every other democrat of consequence under that pro- visional government. During the time his name was being considered, no ques- tion was raised of his competency, of his honesty or of his democracy. But he did not get the job. Mr. Keith, said to be member of an old political faction bent on perpetuating it's sway, and de- termined to prevent the ascendenoy of any man save it's own, was given the appointment.
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood did
 what they could for Jones, but their effort
 was unavailing. As previously pointed out in this correspondence, democrats do
 not get all the jobs probably 90 per cent of the clerlxships under the government being held by republicans.

 10000 MORE MEN
 For the regular army the bill probably will provide 4O,O0O additional men asked for by Secretary Garrison, although the committee is said to be about equally di- vided on the Hay and Garrison plans for
 making the increase. Representative Hay proposes to fill existing regiments up
 to full war strength and increase only the number of artillery regiments; while Secretary Garrison has asked for addi- tional skeleton regiments of infantry and artillery to make up tactical divisions. Opinion of army officers who have testi- fed has been divided on this point, but committee members think they can reach an agreement among themselves
 An element of the committee favors con- tinuance of the practice of government manufacture of army munitions and on this aspect of the plans the committee will face a struggle within it's own ranks. Some members believe that those favoring the war departments attitude of provid- ing WorK enough TOT pr1Vate plants to 1n- sure big war time production capacity have votes enough to secure this end in the bill.
 The House naval committee continued its struggle today over details of navy personnel problems, with Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of navigation still on the stand. Admiral Blue presented the departments proposals for re-draft- ing of the naval reserve law, worked out in elaborate detail, and the subject was under debate all day.

THREE ARE INJURED

London, February 9.-Two women and enc child were injured this afternoon when two German seaplanes raided the Kentish coast, dropping bombs. Three missiles fell on the outskirts of Ramsgate and four near school at Broadstairs. The material damage is said by the war office to Have been confined to the shat terng of glass.
 The attack was made in broad daylight. At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon two sea planes were reported approaching the Kent coast and few minutes later they flew over Ramsgate and Broadstairs
 A number of naval and military aero planes and seaplanes ascended to attack the Germans, but they immediately re- treated. As no engagement between the airmen has been reported it Is presumed that the Germans made good their escape.
 Of the four bombs dropped in Broad stairs all fell near schoolhouse. Three Of them exploded.

REJECTS GERMAN OFFER

Rome, February 8.-(yia Paris, Feb- ruary 9)-The Giornale dItalia statea that Monsignor Tacci Porcelli the pa pal nuncio to Belgium, presented tc Belgium Germany's proposals for g separate peace. Whether or not he was authorized to do so by the vatican says the newspaper, has not been as- contained.
 It is said that Germany, through Prince You Beulow and other promi- nent personages, has indicated that the terms she is ready to offer to Belgium for the concluding of separate peace comprise the restoration of Belgium to the government of King Albert and the payment of large indemnity fol damages caused by the invasion and the occupation, and that she asks in return economical and commercial privileges which would practically transform the port of Antwerp into a German center of traffic. To these pro- posals Belgium is said to have replied with a prompt refusal and declar- ation of intention to adhere to the al lies, ani not to conclude a separate peace.

EsHLEMAN FOR BRANDEIs

Lieut.. Gov. John M Eshleman of California, president of the California railroad commission at the time the advance rate cases were pending, next took the stand, explaining that he hap pened to be in Washington and that somebody had give his name to the committee as a witness. He vigorously defended MT. Brandeis.
 T have no charges to make" he said. "Our state was interested in these cases and have never been able to tell why MT. Thorne feels as he does about MT. Rrandeis' action and I have not found any railroad commission man who does not agree with me. MT. Brandeis never suggested to the commission that the railroads should get the per cent in- crease they were asking for. And as to breach of faith and unprofession- al conduct charge, I want to say that if MT. Brandeis had been appearing be- fore me as president of the California railroad commission I should have felt very much surprised if he had not stated his position frankly

FIGHTING AROUND DvINsK

Petrograd, February 9.-(Via Lon- don. Severe fighting is developing on the Dvinsk front, preliminary artillery dueis having been succeeded by a con- tinuous bombardment of great inten- sity on both sides. The Germans at- tackled the railway station at Liksno on the east bank of the Dvina, seven miles northwest of Dvinsk, which would appear to indicate a serious pen etration of the Russian lines but the Russian staff explains that the Ger man forces were unable to advance, still occupying their old positions and succeeded in reaching Liksno only by using heavy artillery. which they now have had time to mount.
