THREATEN FILIBUSTER.
Senator La Toilette and Reed Fight to
Kill Webb Bill

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Adminis-
tratiOn leaders said last night that
Senators La Toilette, Republican, and
Reed, Democrat, had forced them to
abandon hope of passing the Webb bill
to permit American collective selling
agencies in foreign countries. Senator
La Toilette gave notice he would fiji
buster the bill to death.
. 1t now seems apparent, ~ said SEN
ator Simmons, "that we will be forced
to give up the foreign selling agency
bill, Just as threat of a flibuster
forced us to abandon the corrupt prac-
tices bill.
Senator La Toilette has Just said
that he wOuld exhaust every energy
and every resource to defeat the bill. I
asked him what that meant and he re-
Piled: oh, two weeks, three weeks or
tour weeks more of congress-, Senator
Reed also has served notice that he
would fight the bill to the end. -
President Wilson, who especially de-
sired the bill to pass, was notified of the
apparent impossibility if congress is to
adjourn.

AMERICAN-MEXICAN
COMMISSIONERS MEET
Are Holding Their First Formal Ses.
sion in Groton, Connecticut, This
Afternoon

NEW LONDON. Sept. 6.-The six
members of the American Mexican joint
commission assembled in their first formal
session at the hotel in Groton today with
Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican men,
bership, presiding. The session was ex-
pected TO be devoted to arranging details
of the conferences that are TO follow, al
though Secretary Lane, chairman of the
American commission, indicated that some
progress in the discussion of the subjects
to be reviewed might be made later in the
day
When the commissioners had assembled
it had not been determined Just who
might be present at the conference in
addition to the commissioners. The pro,
gram will be laid out today as far as the
commissioners are able to determine it in
advance.
1t is anticipated that when the con-
ferees take up the specific questions be
fore them, beginning with the Mexican
request that Gen. Pershings force be
withdrawn from Mexico, adiournments
will be necessary from time to time while
data bearing on this question is reviewed
and compared with whatever statements
the Mexican commissioners may present.

SAYS GERMANS SEEK PEACE.
Writer Details Hope of People War
Will Have a Speedy End

That the vast majority of the Ger
man people is anxious to have the Ger
man government enter into peace ne
gotlations at once is the assertion made
by the British correspondent of the
Arbeltzer-Zeitung of Vienna, i'll a war,
anniversary article that was passed by
both the German and Austrian censors.
to the great astonishment of the Lon
don newspapers that quote it to show
the war WEAKNESS existing in Germany.
The war began, says the correspond
ent, as a ''war of peoples. A sort
of fury seized upon ''all heads, which
were not strong in international under
standing. 1t was frenzy Nay, mad
ness,' Mutual fear and suspicion had
become excited to fever pitch.
" Through popular passions the war had
the character of a war of the peoples. -
1t no longer has that character, he de-
clares and continues:
The longer the war has lasted the
more it has become war of states.
One could have prevented the war if
only one had the peoples on one s
side. One can only bring the war to a
close before its natural enid. e., uni
versal exhaustion-if in this matter one
has the state on one S side. That is
the problem; the pacific portion of the
peoples have to impose their will upon
the state at a time when the peoples
as such do not exist for the state.
. At the head of the states stand the
statesmen, the governments. These
must keep the war going, for they fear
for their own futures unless they bring
home victory after such nameless sac
rifces. What is to be done2 Revolu-
ton? The machinery of the state would
crush it in the germ.
What then remains?' Nothing but
steady work, which sets itself to con
vert the general will for peace into
such a will on the part of the states.
80 far as obstacles to peace exist
in Germany, we must unite all our
strength to sweep them away. The an
| nexation enthusiasts are misjudging
the reality of things, and are doing
harm where they wish to do useful SER
vice. They do not possess the decisive
influence for which they are striving,
but it is urgent that they should be
suppressed still further.''

Although the public schools did not
open yesterday the prudential commit

splck and span III preparation for the be-
ginning OF the school year. Paint and
Varnlsh have been used wherever need
ed and new adjustable desks have been
installed in the Chase street school and
| IN one or two other schools in part
where new desks were needed. 1t is
the policy of the prudential committee
to replace annually such desks as are
no longer suitable with the latest i'm
proved adjustable desks.
In the high school building several
changes have been made on the third
floor. The domestic science course will
be taught in the room which has been
used in part for a physics laboratory.
which means that some close figuring
must be done on the part of the in
structors to provide for all the classes
IN domestic science, which is to include
cooking and sewing as we'll as lectures
on domestic economy, and still make
some arrangements whereby the phys-
les classes may be accommodated either
IN that room or in the room used for
the chemistry instruction.
A late model combination coal and
gas range has been installed. as well as
new gas range. These with the old
gas range which has been in use there
| provides very satisfactory arrange
ments for cooking. A coal bin, with a
capacity of two tons, has been built on
the third floor in which to store fuel
for the coal range A medel sink has
been installed and lockers have been
built IN which the pupils viii keep per-
sonal belongings used in connection
with this course. This course will be
open to high school pupils and girls of
the upper grades of the grammer
i-schools. In the chemistry room plat
form of two heights has been installed
providing better opportunity for OBJ
servation by class than has been pos
slble when all were seated on the floor
level.
On the third floor the room that has
been used for the drawing classes has
been remodeled, new and larger win
dows installed, the walls and ceiling
covered with metal sheathing and some
waste space between partitions utilized
TO increase the size of the room and to
provide a large storage closet.
This room is to be the ungraded room
and is provided with 20 desks of a spe-
.i"l PatteIH. IHcSc are auIuStaDle. 1T
| is IN this room that children who re-
quire special attention will be taught.
What accommodation will be provid-
ed for the drawing classes has not been
definitely worked out, but like the ac-
commodations for the physics classes
it must be arranged after the schools
are opened and the pupils and instrue-
tors have settled down to work.
The room used for Spanish and Ger
man reeitations and the room for the
French classes each has been provided
with stationary seats of new design
| with tablet arms which replace the old
chairs and are expected to be more sat
isfactory alike to pupils and instruc-
| tors.
