TWO IMPORTANT ARMY
MEASURES Up SOON
BOrah's Bill ana chamberlain Mea-
sure Are Complimentary Would
"Unfederalize" Guard.

WASHINGTON-Th two important
national defense measures. are Sena-
tor Borah's bill to repeal so much of
the army reorganization act as fed
eralized" the national guard, on the
theory that the militia has failed to
prove a reliance in the Mexican situa-
ton, and the bill of Senator Chamber
lain for universal military service
which shall be compulsory on the cit
izen. The one is the compliment of
the other, for if the Borah bill is pass
ed taking the militia out of the fed
eral establishment some measure will
have to be passed to take its place.
Senator BOrah will make a very de-
termined fight for his bill. He be-
lieves that the things he said of the
national guard in the last session have
been verified in actual practice by the
performance of the militia in connec-
ton with policing the Mexican Dor
DIR and their complaints and refusa
to take the double oath and to re
enlist under the terms and condition
now offered.

fire the Independent market
called up and offered us the use
of their Strengthening plant.
Within ten minutes thereafter l
received a call from the Stet-

fer. The meat business is con-
ceded to be highly competitive,
which makes me all the more
appreciate the kindness of those
in charge of rival concerns"

licemen arrived and backed the crowds
OF the streets.
At s:25 the iremen started away and
the crowd began to leave. At s:2s o'clock
the crowd was still leaving. while the dis
gruntled truck crews rolled up their un-

PEACE URGED
BY RUSSIANS
Exalted Personages' Ac.
cused in Duma of Making
Overtures to Germany.

London. Jan. 3o.-A report received here
today from Petrograd declares that GER
tain exalted personages. members of the
Conservative party in Russia, have made
overtures to Germany with a view of
concluding separate peace pact. So
much importance is attached to the re-
ports that the matter has been under dis
Duma. The discussion related to the
policy of NJ. Khorstofr, minister of the
interior. The open charge was made in
the Duma by its president, NJ. Rodzian-
ko, that these exalted personages" were
working to this end.
M. Rodzianko corroborated the reports
by declaring that he had received a let
ter from the Princess Wasilthikofr, who
was then in Moscow, asking him TO CO.
operate in the negotiations. The presi-
dent OF the Duma showed this letter to
the minister of foreign affairs, NJ. Saz-
anoff. Shortly afterward the princess
went to Petrograd with view of carry
ing out her projects in person.
4sA' ANhoistoii tIdl lnt princess
was In Petrograd.
While IT is true that she came" he
said, she was shadowed all the time she
was here by the government secret po-
lice. Her position became so delicate
that she was compelled to quit the cap
ital and retire to one of her estates in
South Russia.
I'VE shall not speak of peace until Rus
sia has achieved a complete victory. We
are in no hurry to finish the war, as the
people are with us.
I'm the internal life of Russia, perfect
and permanent order must bs restored
and maintained. We shall be Obliged to
crush any and all disturbers of the
peace"
The conservative element, represented
by the minister Of the interior, wants
peace primarily, it is declared. because
they fear revolution is imminent

Slain Mans Son
To Help Mother
Little Charlie Mohr Will Add
His Bit to Fathers
History.
BY SOPHIE TREADwELL.

Providence, R. L, Jan. 30.-Dr.
Mohr's little son. Charlie, will climb
into the witness stand tomorrow to add
his bit to the family "reminiscences of
his father that already have been writ
ten into the court record. DR.. Mohr's
widow finished her recital yesterday.
DR.. Mohr's sister and DR.. Mohr's broth
er then will follow.
The greatest interest here attaches
to the appearance OF Charlie, the little
lad who was trained by his mother to
spy upon his father. It is evident that
Charlie entered into this sad service
for his mother with all a child's en-
thusiasm and devotion. Even in her
letters attacking the other woman's"
life. Mrs. Mohr invariably would quote
her little boy as the source of her
Jealousy-arousing information.
The appearance Of a little boy but
Il years of age as a witness in de-
fense of his mother who is on trial
for murder. cannot but have a power
full emotional appeal
This appearance Of DR.. Mohr's own
family in behalf OF his widow accused
Of numbering him, is counted upon by
the defense to have great weight with
the jury.
