Holweg's subordinates invent witness they should provide one who is more con- vincng."
 There is general expectation that Ger many will express it's dissatisfaction at Sir Edward Grey's reply by immediately irstituting reprisals, which the English fear will take violent form.
 Although the Russians appear to be continuing their progress there still IS no news concerning the actual Russian oc- oupation of Czernowitz, capital of Bulk owina, which already has changed hands four times since the war began.
 The Times Petrograd correspondent, telegraphing Tuesday, says in the opinion of the military critics there the approach of the Russians to the railway line run ming from Salestchitl1y to Czernowitz has el eatlv lessened the value Of the former point for the Austrians.
 "it is quite possible the correspondent adds, that the Russian cavalry has cut the line, but there is no confirmation of the report that we have occupied Czerno- witz. which in itself is not tempting bait for either belligerent. The prepon- derant importance the enemy attached to the possession of the Styr river is reflect ed in the German army orders where the river is described as the Dvina of the south and the permanent tenure of which would secure to a foe lasting front from Pinsk to Galicia, provided it's shores were converted into an unbroken fortress.
 "In view of the enormous strength of the enemy's fortified lines in the southern theatre the military critics warn the pub lie against pitching their hopes too high.

DEBATES ON FOREIGN POLICY OF
 THE UNITED STATES
(Continued from Page One)

laSc ohCt New York senator had explained that McNeely had declined to heed Consul General Skinner's advice to sail on Dutch ship, Senator Works blazed the way to general debate on the position of
 the United States in the war by declar- ing the American government was not neutral.
 Asserting at the outset that the gov
 ernment shared responsibility for deaths
 of Americans on the Lusitania the Call forna senator said:
 "The government knew that the Lusi-
 tania was loaded to the guards with ann
 muniton and explosives. Passengers
 were permitted, in spite of this, to travel on the vessel. The government ltself
 in full knowledge that the ship carried
 munitions of war, is morally responsible
 for the deaths of our citizens
 When Senator Works declared the Uni ted States actually was participating in the war by the sale of munitions, Sena- tor Reed, democrat, interrupted to ask: Does the senator know that the first loan placed in this country after the war began was a loan of $25,000,OOO to Germany and that the loan was made without pro- test from him or any other citizen? Does the senator not know that Germany pro- cured arms in this country as long as it was possible for her to get them?'
 That may all be true,' Senator Works replied, but that does not alter the situation"
 ''It is true" continued Senator Reed, that the markets are free and open to Germany as well as to all other coun- tries and that this government does not distinguish between any belligerent na- tions, then how can the senator say that this government has taken an unneutral position?"
 Tt is impossible to get arms to Ger many, and I say it is morally wrong for this government to permit shipment of arms to any Of the belligerents,' Sena- tor Works insisted He added that his principal objection was based on con- viction that the United States was aiding in prolonging the war and the killing of men, and that he would not only put an embargo on munitions, but also on shipment of food and clothing to the armies of Europe.
 Senator Lodge, in upholding the posi-
 tion of the United States as to the ship
 ment of munitions, engaged in lengthy
 collouuy with Senators O'Gorman, Hitch
 cock, and others.
 'Our markets are open to all the world
 to buy said Senator Lodge. We have
 taken no action to prevent any belliger- ent or anyone else from buying in our
 markets, and we are at peace with all the world. A condition has been created
 by this war, and by the war alone, which prevents one or more belligerents from buying in this market. If we un- dertake to reveres a condition created by the war, we at once enter into the war and endeavor to restore a condition existing before the war, and that is an act of unneutra litV."

ADVOCATES EMBARGO

"Evidently in time of war, such as IS now disturbing the peace of the world, Senator O'Gorman rejoined, almost any act of a neutral power would be regard ed by some as an act of partiality, but, in my judgment, this government. if it deemed 1t best for the American nation and the best security of peace with all the nations, could place an embargo against the shipment of munitions to any beligerent without exposing itself to me imputaton of an unneutral act.'
 Senator Hitchcock asked Senator Lodge whether it was unneutral for Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Holland to place an embargo on munitions after the war began. Senator Lodge said he thought not, because that act did not change a condition.
 Placing of the embargo by these na- tions," Senator Hitchcock replied, de prived Germany of a safe method of procuring munitions and other contra band from those countries, and yet no one was heard to claim that those coun- tries were guilty of unneutrality.
 Everyone knows that Germany was deprived of an enormous advantage when Great Britain forced those neutral countries of Europe to put on that em- bargo or loose the food which they need ed and which Great Britain could keep from them.
 ''DoeS the senator consider" asked Sen ator Weeks that the conditions he thinks We ought mot to change was brought about by action of the govern ment to which we are supplying arms?' ''Of course it was not replied Senator
 Lodge. Tt was brought about by the course of the war, in which one side got control of the sea- We should be doing just as unneutral thing as if it were in our power to shut down the arms fac tories of Liege, of which Germany got possession at the beginning of the war
 and which she is now running in her own interest"
 'Suppose,' Senator German interjected the belligerent that is the chief benefi ciary of our present policy with respect to exportation of munitions were to dis. regard our rights as a neutral nation does the senator think we would be justi. ned in placing an embargo on munitions as retaliatory measurer' We should have right to impose 2 | retaliatory embargo but I think it woult be an unneutral act" the Massachusetts senator replied.
 | At this point Senator Stone, chairman l of the foreign relations committee, point 1 cd out that the debate was out of order and ended it by moving an executive ses 1 sion.
 T have not objected up to this time , ! he explained "I thought it was very wei to let 1t run little while by way of feel I ing out and getting an index to the Sen ate."

REPORT CR|T|C|zES COLONEL ROOSEVELT His Charges Against Wilson
 Are Held Baseless SHIP PURCHASE BILL Committee Finds That There Was No Intention of Aiding Foreign Gov
 ernment and Severely Handles
 RedoubtabIe Colonel
SHIP PURCHASE BILL

Washington, January Exchanges circulated during the last session of Congress that administration officials acted in the interest of foreign busi- ness firms in urging the passage of the government ship purchase bill were held to be baseless in majority and minority reports filed today by the Senate committee appointed to in vestigate them.
 Both reports also found the ship ping interests blame1ess of illegal ac- tivity in opposition to the measure.
 The majority denounced Theodore Roosevelt for failing to appear before the committee to testify concerning his published assertion that President Will son and Secretary Bryan had endeav- ored in the interest of certain foreign business firms to secure for the Uni ted States the power to purchase the interned ships of one of the belliger- ents"
 CRITICIZES COLONEL
 The charge, the report said, had it's origin Gin that ungenerous trait of the human mind which makes it prone to attribute unworthy motives to re- doubtable rivals, and particularly po- litical antagonists"
 "The writer" added the report ."whose eminence was naturally cal culated to give weight to his utter ance finding himself without any basis, even of a hearsay character for his slanderous attack upon the highest officer of his government simply re- sorted to a palpable sophistry to es- cape the responsibility for the asser- tion he had made"
 While the committee found no evil dence to indicate that the President or Secretary Bryan harbored any pur- pose to buy interned ships the ma- jority handed in it's report that it was not difficult to conceive of reasons consistent with the most exalted mo- tives that might actuate the President to refrain from public declaration that belligerent ships would not be bought"
 Such an action," said the report would rightly be construed as an abandonment of our right which our nation has vigorously maintained to acquire merchant ships by bona fide purchase though state of war ex- 1StS, involving the nation under whose flag they previously sailed"
 MINORITY REPORT
 Senator Sutherland presented the minority report for himself and Sen ator Penrose.
 "We do not concur" it said, ''in so far as the report defends the bill it. self, nor in so far it insists there would be no impropriety in the pur- chase of the belligerents idle ships. We believe the bill a thoroughly bad piece of legislation and are certain that to have purchased the boats now seeking security in American harbors, would have developed serious trouble for the United States"
 The committees investigation was authorized by a resolution offered by Senator Burton and an amendment by Senator Williams, directing the inquiry as to whether the so-called shipping trust had maintained a lobby against the bill
 With reference to criticism of Col onel Roosevelt in the foregoing the minority report says:

1T SHOULD o BE

However desperate may be the plight of the Republicans, they should
not take their candidate from the bench of the Supreme court That
court is the one institution under our government that bears THE stamp
of hnaity. When N American takes his sea there he should be beyond
the promptngs of ambition ITO go higher, for there is Nc place of greater
honor, it should be considered that he is removed from the field within
which party is privileged to choose it's leaders.
Once break with the thusfar invioate tradition that candidates for
the presidency are not tic be taken from the Supreme bench and irepar-
able mischief will be done. Justices of the Supreme court are human
beings. If the doors of the court be opened to the unconquerabe allure
men Of the presidency, it is uncomfortable that the aspirations and the de
sire should not enter the minds of justices who felt themselves to be
eligible. Then would follow evils unnwnbered and most serious. judy
ment would be clouded, inevitably the judicial mind would be diverted
from consideration of the law and the constitution to a contemplation
of political conditions and the currents of party opinion Pens that
is a n assault upon the purity of the tribunal, it opens the way o a dan
gerous perverson OF its opinions always hitherto held in the highest re-
spec by the great jurists OF the world. 1t would lead Ito unseemly abuses

CAN THEY DELIVER THE GOODS?
(From the Chicago Tribune, June 11.)

Voters of German birth O descent will generally favor Justice
Hughes next November if the German-Amercan alliance, the central
body OF practically all the German American societies in the country,
has the influence it claims to possess. The alliance estimates there are
100000 Of these voters in the country.
Official announcement that the alliance, through a committee OF its
members appointed to handle the political situation, had agreed yeTer-
day to devote its every energy to the election OF the Supreme court
judge as president was made by Louis Z. Brandt, secretary OF the Ger
man-American alliance of Chicago and the German-Amercan alliance
of Illinois.
the league, who is N Wyoming.
Americans Or Americans OF German descent throughout the United
States" said Mr.. Brandt yesterday. The letters call upon them &c vote
for Justice Hughes. A meeting OF the political committee of the Ger
man-American alliance will be held Wednesday, when the situation will
be considered further.
That's what we have been working for fer the past six months
to insure the election of Hughes" Mr.. Brandt continued. 1--WE we're de-
termined all along to defeat Roosevelt and Root and we will swing III
vote to Hughes to defeat Wilson. Yes. We are in favor OF Hughes.
He is II candidate. It a to engineer this drive that the meeting Of
representatives of the alliance from all owe the country was held a week
ago at the Kaiserhof hotel here. 1t wa there tina. the final plans for the
campaign were promulgated.
AT this meeting the Philadelphia German American alliance,
which is the parent body, urged the appointment OF the political conn
mittee to handle the political situation, Is the main body concluded it
could not act itself directly in such a situation"
Mr.. Brandt stated further that the political fight for Hughes would
in consequence be handled from Chicago He said the alliance 0
trolled the German vote of $4,000 in Chicago alone and 21NO in thr-
ty-ninc larger cities of Illinois. He admitted this the first time the
German-American alliance had asserted itself politically as in the pres
ent instance, but that now its members, on account OF peculiar condi-
tons arising from the European wal, would go in heavily for politics.

ONCE OVERS

One reason why advice frequently doesn't have a better effect is
that those who are most liberal in giving it are the most negligent
about following it.
Before you an expect ny attention to DE paid to what you say
you must set n example which proves that you are taking your own
medicine. This applies particularly when dealing with children.
You may think its all right to tell a child that because you are
older you are privileged to do certain things which art forbidden to
standard.
More than likely they think that because you are Older you should
be more careful than they must be.
When you became a parent you took up al important duty.
If you are unwilling to meet all requirements, you should NOT be
responsible for the existence If children.
The children have a right to expect in you all that is good and
worthy of being followed, and when you do something which you have
forbidden them to do yOu are failing in your duty.
There is II more unbiased and just judge than a child. and most OF

WASTED

When the women sufragists, who are laying siege to the Chicago
convention consider the narrow margin by which the suffrage amendment
was defeated last Monday in Iowa, they will have good reason to regret
their wasted time, the New York World says.
In Iowa it a possible for them to accomplish something really
worth while. BY obtaining only 5000 more votes for suffrage they would
have won another state in the Mississippi valley and added 100000
women voters to their rolls
A mere formal expression Of sympathy with their principles o n the
part of the Republican National convention or a declaration in favor
of a constitutional amendment can be only a hollow victory compared
with the establishment of equal suffrage in Iowa. After the series of
defeats they experienced last fall in eastern states, they stood in great

For five o six weeks the North End Improvement club has been
agtatng the cleaning up of the neighborhood north of the railroad
tracks. Public attention has been called to the clubs work through the
press and there are probably not a dozen grown people in Carson City
who have not heard of what the club is trying to accomplish.
The club hoped to have the cooperation of the entire city, certainly
of those living north of the railroad tracks. During the past week old
tin ans have been thrown n the Treadwel ditch and tin and swil
dumped O the land between the town and cemetery.
The trustees and city officials are willing to do their part and are
helping in the cleaning up of the debris deposited n the past and M post

should have enough civic pride to refrain themselves and to report
others who attempt to Use the bitches and vacant lots for dumping
