LEAVES BERLIN FOR ARMY
FRONT AT REQUEST OF
KAISER.
REGARD VISIT AS HOPEFUL
Election of kaiser's Personality Into
the Situation is Expected to Pro-
duce Good Results.

Berlin, via wire1ess.-James w.
Garard, the American Ambassador to
Germany, has gone to the German
Army headquarters where he will be
received by the German Emperor.
Washington. Announcement In
press dispatches from Berlin that Am
zassador Gerard would confer with
Emperor William was regarded by Of
ficia1s as significant. Official infor-
nation on the subject was lacking, but
the opinion was expressed that the
Emperor might have in mind supple
menting Germany's reply to the Am
erican note demanding the immediate
abandonment of present methods OF
submarine warfare with a personal
communication to President Wilson.
Ambassador Gerard in visiting the
Emperor is not acting under instruc-
lions from Washington. Consequent
ly officials assumed that the visit Is
at the Emperor's invitation.
In both official and diplomatic
quarters the injection of the Emper-
or's personality into the situation was
regarded as hopeful indication.
President Wilson expects to receive
the German reply within the next
few days, it became known, although
the basis for his expectation was not
revealed. Up to the present he is
entirely without definite information
Of the German Governments inten-
tons.

GREAT ACTIVITY ALONG
THE BRITISH FRONT

London.-Great activity at various
points along the British front is re-
ported in the latest official communi-
cation. The Bedfordshire Regiment
carried out a successful raid near Car
noy. There has been artillery activity
at La Boissel1e, Hebuterne, Monchy-
au4Bols, Neuville@St. Vast, Armen-
there's and Frelinghein.
At Frelinghein the Germans enter
ed the British trenches but were
driven out Similar attacks on the
British trenches on hill No. 60 and
at st. Eloi were repulsed.
The sectors of Avocourt and NUM-
eres, northwest of Verdun are still
under heavy bombardment. The Ger
mans have attempted no infantry at
tacks here, according to the Paris
communication, but those artillery
preparations usually presage an at
tack.
The Germans on the front of Had
ramouDt and Traumont and between
Duaumont and Vaux, essayed attacks
following violent bombardments but
the French curtain fires held them
to their trenches.
Artillery engagements have featur-
ed the fighting on the other parts of
the line in France and Belgium, al
though the French aircraft have car
ried out bombing operations against
numerous German positions. The
German guns are keeping up their
heavy bombardment of the Russian
position at the 1kskull bridgehead.
The Russians have captured the vii
lage of Chromiakoua along the Rovno-
Kevel Railway and put down a coun-
ter-attack there.

ports the situation in Dublin much

country there was still much more to
be done, which would take time, but
he hoped that the back bone OF the re-
bellion had been broken.
Messengers were sent out from the
rebel leaders in Dublin to the rebel
bodies in Galway, Clare, Wexford,
Louth and Dublin counties, ordering
them to surrender, and priests and the
Royal Irish Constabulary are doing
their utmost to disseminate this infOr-
nation.

vile street, the postoffice and the
Four Courts are surrendering freely.
More incendiary fires took place in

Potamia Ends With Surrender.
London.-Another phase of the i'll.
fated British campaign in Mesopota-
mia has closed with the surrender of
General Townsend and the garrison at
Kut-el-Amara on the Tigris River
about 100 miles below Bagdad. Some
10000 men in all laid down their arms

all their guns and munitions.

compelled their retreat 10 miles down
the Tigris to Kut-el-Amara, where the
Turks had them securely bottled up.
General TOWNSEND held out for 143
days, his supplies steadily growing
lower as he waited the relief of the
army which, first under General Ayl-
mer, and then under General Gorringe,
battled it's way up the Tigres toward
him. This army encountered strong
positions of the Turks below Kut on
both sides of the river and, although
several of these were carried, it has
not been able to work much closer to

YOUNG WOMEN HEAR
PRESIDENT WILSON
MUST NOT TAMPER WITH THE
HONOR AND INTEGRITY OF
AMERICA.
MAJORITY WOULD BE LOYAL
No Doubt as to Support of "Hyphens"
Opening National Service School
Encampment.

Washington.-Amer reawakened
in national spirit through lessons OF
the war in Europe was the theme OF
address by President Wilson at the
opening of the National Service School
military encampment for young Wo-
men. In concluding the president
voiced a warning that the honor and
integrity of the United States can not
be tempered with. He prayed that the
country should not be drawn into war
but declared that if it should be, in
the great voice of national enthusiasm,
which would be raised, all the world
would stand once more thrilled to
hear the voice of the new world as
sorting the standards of justice and
liberty"
The President expressed confidence
that in time of trouble the great mass
of foreign-born citizens of the Unltet
States would be loyal. II never had
the slightest doubt of what would
happen when America called upon
those of her citizens born in other
countries to come to the support OF
the flag" he said.
why, they will come with cheers,
they will come with a momentum
which will make us realize that Amer
lea has once more been cried awake
out of every sort of distemper and
dream and distraction, and that any
wan who dares tamper with the spirit
of America will be cast out of the
confidence of a great nation upon the
instant"
The president spoke before several
hundred women dressed in khaki and
drawn up in military order. They
will be taught first aid to the wound
ed, bandage making, telegraphy, and
other wartime arts. The encamp-
ment is being held under the auspices
of the woman's section of the Navy
League. Secretaries Baker and Dan
iels and large group of government

STORMY DEBATE OVER
NOMINATION OF BRANDEIS.
Committee Members Predict Unfavor-
able Report on the Appointment.

Committee Members Predict Unfavor
able Report on the Appointment.
Washington.-A stormy debate over
the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis
for the Supreme Court broke in the
senate, and, before it was over, pre-
dictions were made by two members
Of the Judiciary Committee-one
Democrat-that an unfavorable re-
port on the appointment would follow
when the committee reached vote.
Discussion was precipitated when
Senator Sutherland of Utah, a Repub-
lican member of the committee, read
to the senate an interview published
quoting Senator Ashurst of Arizona as
charging that Republican members OF
the Judiciary Committee were filibus
tering in order to delay vote on the
Brandeis nomination, until after the
national political conventions.
Senator Ashurst stood steadfastly
by the quoted statement during the
heated argument, which followed, un-
til assured by fellowDemocrats on
the committee that there was no such
f1ilibuster. He withdrew the charge,
at the suggestion Of Senator Brande-
gee, after he had denounced execu-
tive sessions and charged that the
Republicans were angered over the
Brandeis nomination because he was
a champion of the masses.

Cars ss Desert Stages.

Out in the Imperial Valley OF
California fleet of IS Dodge
Brothers motor cars are used as
stages. They are known as the
Pickwick Stages because OF
their starting at the Pickwick
Theatre, San Diego.
Their route lies across a por-
ton of the California Desert and
each car averages about 1.O0C
miles per week. Various makes
of motor cars were tried out by
the Pickwick Stage Company,
which operates the line. About
six months ago the first Dodge
Brothers car was purchased and
subjected to many tests on the
route. The success was so strik
ing that several more were bought
and this number has been added
to, until there are now 10 in use,
and more are to be bought within
a short time.
According to Mr.. Hayes, one Of
the proprietors of the company
the upkeep on these cars has been
remarkably light, and within a
year he expects to operate Dodge
Brothers cars only.
