| WASHINGTON, January s.-Echoe.
Of the war in Europe reverberated in
the halls of congress yesterday, at ono
Of the most exciting sessions the house
of representatives has e,,en for wears.
Representative Gardner, Republican
OF Massachusetts,, precipitated the
storm when he began a vitriolic criti
eism of the methods adopted by Ger.
man American citizens of this country
to aid their Fatherland in its struggle.
Mr.. Gardner did not measure his
words, and he did MT stop with crfti-
cism of hyphenated Americans. His
structures were addressed equally to
Germany for her conduct of the war.
Gardner Rouses Wrath
Por a time the house listened in com.
rarHtive silence although were some
angry mutterings, but at last the speak
er was INTERRUPTED by Representative
W. II. Stafford of Wisconsin, RepubIi.
can, who rose to point of order and so
got the floor.
1.-THE remarks of the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, said Mr.. Stafford,
"sound to me more British than Amer.
lean. Is that his patriotism3"
Representative II. A. Cooper, also of
Wisconsin, and also a Republican,
jumped to his feet and attacked Mr..
Gardner bitterly.
Remarks Out of Place
."Why," shouted Mr.. Cooper, "his
remarks in this place, the legislative
halls of the nation at war with none,
and certainly not at war with Germa-
ny, sound like they might have uttered
in the floor of the British house Of
commons. Such utte-ances are out If
place in the homes of neutral, to say
nothing of it's capita"
The announcement was made yester-
day afternoon, that President Wilson
will not comply with the request that
he make public the names of persons
involved in unneutral plots within the
United States.
His determination to that effect was
made known in letter to the house
judiciary committee in which he ex.
planned his stand by saving that he
believes such an act would be against
public interest.

GAILllARD CUT IS

drawing n feet of water. The Newton

General Geothals, engineer in charge
of the canal, in an interview yesterday
declared that even yet the canal is not

the opening for passage now is but
temporary.
1T is probable, said General Goe
that's, that the canal will be closed
for considerable period yet, although
am unable to give any idea OF the
length of time it will take us to put
1t IN shape for trahic. 1t is in no con.

Asked for an estimate of the time
necessary to clear the GailIiard cut,
General Goethals declined, saying,

Political Crisis Over Bill Shows
No Signs Of Lessening

tAssociated Press By Federal wireless)
LONDON, January s.-The or sis
over the proposed compulsiOn bill shows
% signs Of easing down. Rumors ana
counter -rumors have been rife all over
London and in the clubs and halls of
estminlster, the talk has been of the
expedient by which the government
hopes TO he able to pass the attenuated
measure, introduced by Premier As
quitn last Wednesday.
The vote of the labor council and
of the labor party all over the country
last Thursday showed the government
the intense feeling of alltap onIsm
which the bill has aroused among the
working classes of the people, and ey on
the comparatively safe vote cast for
the bill in the honse of commons at the
first reading failed to instiI much con.
fdence into the minds of the coalition
cab net leaders. ..aE.
There has been much talk Of a gene
raj election, an appeal TO the country
as whole to give the much desired
= ebcral consent to the measure. but
there seems n w to he a feeling among
the political leaders against any such
idea. Indeed many are saying that a
general election is the very last thing
the government wants at present, W tn
the passage of the military service bill,
even in its attenuated form, the test.
