WILSON PREVENTING
FILIPINO FREEDOM
Senators Held In Check by
Presidents Attitude.

Washington, Jan. 2l-The attitude
Of the administration is the only thing
that is preventing a declaration by the
Senate in favor Of granting freedom 10
the Philippines in two years, according
to supporters Of the Clark amendment
to the bill now before the Senate. Ad-
vocates Of this declaration have been
spending the day trying to line up
support for il, and while they seem 70
be beaten tonight. they have not gwen
up the fight. They declare that a ma
jority OF the Senators would vote for 1t
IL the President would let them.
Ever since the Philippine bill came
before the Senate there has been a
noticeable feeling Of disgust with the
whole situation by many Senators, IN
GLIDING several Republicans. Among
the Democrats there has always been
strong faction favorable 10 getting out
of the islands as soon as possible,
either because they believe them a
source of military weakness TO the
United States or because they dlsap-
prove Of governing another people.
There has now been added the feeling
that the passage OF the pending bill,
which seems assured, will so far de-
stroy the work of fitting the Filipinos
for self-government which has been
done that it will be useless 70 try TO
carry the work any further.
"The whole situation makes me
tired" one prominent Republican leader
said to-day "If this bill goes through,
az il will, II will go far toward undolng
all that we have done there. The
Democrats are holding independence
before the people there as II 1t we're
toy or some kind OF a nice college
prize for good little boys. | do not
believe the islanders can be trained for
self government within hundred
wears. and with the discomfort and the
expectations which will be aroused by
this bill it will be almost impossible to
do ANYTHING with them. When the Re
publicans get into power again VIC WI
have 10 begin all over, and, with
the chance that we will have that same
experience every time the Democrats
happen 10 win an election here, 1t
makes the task hopeless. | believe we
have a duty to the islands and should
train the people to independence be

viously going to be imposs bic TO 10

thorities state, says the Overseas
Agency to-day. that during the month
Of December twenty-four ships, among
which were one British auxiliary cruiser
and two British transports. with to-
tai tonnage OF 104.764, were destroyed
bv the Allies fleets. Reliable reports
about ships destroyed ny mines and
collision. are still lacking, and the real
losses. therefore. are superior. The
total will not be less than 10000 tons.
London, Jan 2l- Submarine activi-
ties Of the Germans in the North Sea
have largely absted, owing to interna-
tional complications and the relentless
warfare of British destroycrs. German
submarines have been diverted TO the
Mediterranean 10 such an extent that,
according 10 the best information. only
two small underwater craft Of the Ger
mans remain in the North Sea.
Cooperation OF German submarines
with Austrian craft in operations
against Italian shipping is regarded
here as OF political significance, it hav-
ing been stated, on good authority, that
Italy would declare war against Ger
many il il should be established that
German submarines had contributed to
the loss Of Italian ships.
The British steamship Suther land
3.542 tons gross. was sunk in the Medi-
,erranean on January II. Her crew
was landed at Malta.

Won PAPENLETTERS
CALLED FORGERIES
Berlin Denies Attache Was Con-

In United States.

Berlin. Jan. q (by wireless TO Say
Vile. y. l0.-Arother statement in de-
fence OF Captain Franz Won Pspen, ex-
German Military AttachS NJ Washing
ton. was made to-day by the Overseas
Agency. as follows:
"A wireless dispatch from England
says that the letters. checks and vouch-
ers which were taken from Captain Won
Pspen by the British at Falmouth. in
violation Of international law, are to
be published. It is to be hoped that
they will be reproduced in fac-simile.
because il Will then be evident that
Captain Won Papen never made pay
ment 20 Werner Horn. who is accused
Of having attempted 10 blow up n
Canadian railway bridge.
But. in case the British publish
anything OF this kind. 1t may be as
serted IN advance that IL will be a
forgery.
1T Is interesting 20 note that in the
British wireless reports the accusation
that Captain Won Papen was connected
with any plots to blow UP smmuni-
tion works in the United States appar-
emily his been dropped. The case OF
Horn is singled out.
at is solemnly stated In the British
wireless dispatches that the letters and
other documents taken from Captain
Won Papen were seized because they
we're personal belongings which were
not protected by the safe conduct
guaranteed 70 him.
az this Is really the British idea,
everybody in Germany will regret that
il was not known before. for in that
case the archives OF the British En-
bassy might have been seized after
the beginning Of the war. No doubt
they would have brought 10 light in
teresting information concerning the
policy carried on for years against
Germany"
