WILL COME BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE

The matter also is expected to come up
 before the Senate foreign relations com naittee tomorrow when Ii holds it's frs, meeting of the session. The committee discussion may extend to the question of submarine warfare in general the sink ing of the Persia, the Lustania case and other incidents of the European war in which Americans were involved Chair man Stone said tonight he believed the committee would map out programme of procedure with regard to all pend ing matters, including treaties awaiting ratificaton and resolutions regarding the European situation.
 The official text of Austria's reply to the second American note on the sink ing of the Ancona was made public dur ing the day by the state department. Ex- cept for variations in translation the off cial text is Identical with the unofficial
 version cabled to the United States in press dispatches from London. The note is regarded as meeting the demands made by the United States for disavowal, pun lislament of the submarine commander who torpedoed the vessel and reparation by payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and injured A response to the con-
 munication will not, it was said tonight,

 SCORED BY CLAYTON
Those Who Love Their Native Coun- try More Than This Invited to Get Off the Earth-Clayton I'm
 panels Grand Jury

New York, January 6.-An i'm vitation to ''hyphcnated citizens" who put the interests of their nn- tive country before those of Amer lea sstO get off the face of the earthv was issued today by United States Judge Henry ID. Clayton Of Alabama. Judge CIaytOn's remarks
 were made in addressing the grand jury that was impanelIed to re- sume the investigation into the activity of German agents in this country.
 ''You gentlemen" he said "are en- tering upon your duties as American citizens. If any of you have had the mismortune to be born in a foreign country hope that you can truthfully say now that you love America more than the land of your birth. I have no sympathy with any naturalized citizen who is given to carping criti- cism of this government or who can not say that he loves America first, last and forever. If any citizen has come here from another country to evade military service let him not criticize our institutions here. If he desires to do so let him get off the face of the earth or go back and fight for the country from whence he came.
 "We do not care what foreigners or foreign nations think of our methods of government. So far they have proven pre-eminently successful. At xxya TO nt,v hat n P0 rrxr out the precepts of the great father of our country, George Washington, by keeping our minds strictly on our own business and avoiding entang ling alliances or by meddling in the affairs of European nations
 The grand jurors will continue the inquiry into strikes in intuition plants and explosions in factories and ship yards which has already resulted in the indictment of Congressman Frank Buchanan of Illinois and seven others.

Williams Regrets That Congress Is in Session and Says That Delicate Problems Will Be Handled

Washington, January 6.-Mexico fur nished the vehicle today for another dis cussion of foreign relations on the floor of the Senate, in which Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, took the leading part. It preceded the adoption without opposition of a resolution of fered by Senator Fall calling on President Wilson for all available information bear ing upon the recognition of the Carranza government by the United States.
 Senate Fall and Lodge spoke in sup port of the resolution, insisting that the President should inform Congress fully concerning the situation before the nomi- nation of an ambassador was confirmed.
 Senator Williams diverted attention from Mexico in the course of the debate by commenting at length upon questions arising from the European war. He said an embargo on exports of munitions would string" the United States more than any other first-class power.
 Senator Borah wanted to know whether the Mississippi senator thought that after the war some European government would attack the United States '.out of a pure spirit of conquest"

London, January 6-The area of Rus sian successes over the Austro-German forces in the east continues to widen Al though the situation around Czernowitz has not yet been cleared up officially, it appears from advices from Russian sources that the Austrians are hard pressed over a long line of defense and are throwing huge achievements into the district. The Russians here are ex- pected to strike at the Kolome- -Stanislaus- Halicz line, where powerful defensive works have been in preparation for some time by the Austro-G Germans.
 Meanwhile, the Russian position 25( miles farther north, on the middle Styr river has been greatly strengthened by successful operations in the region of the great marshes where the Russians are beginning to emerge from the marshes with prospects of being able to use the roads leading either northwest, west oi southwest

LABOR CONGRESS
 DECIDES TO FIGHT
 THE NEW MEASURE
As Consequence Three La
 bor Members Resign Places in Ministry-Much
 Speculation As to Fossil bility of General Election

London, January 6.--Amid scenes of wild enthusiasm, the House of Commons tonight passed the first reading of the government bill for compulsory military service by the de- cisive vote of 403 to 1O5.
 The vote came shortly before mid night, with the galleries again packed, every seat on the floor of the House occupied, the ministerial benches filled, and an air of eager ex- pectancy prevailing. The events of the day had increased the tension to a high pitch, notably the action of the labor congress and the quick sequel of the retirement of three labor members of the ministry.
 Throughout these developments outside of Parliament the debate in the house had forged steadily ahead, but had been left largely to lesser figures. It was re- the admiralty, to close the debate in be- half of the government, and he did it in a persuasive appeal of half an hour, which reused the tagging spirits of the advocates of the bill and turned the tide of adversity which had been running steadily against the the measure through the dehate and the outside events of the

RILEY IS FIRED BY
 GOVERNOR WHITMAN
Superintendent of Prisons Tried to Hamper New Warden at Sing Sing, Says Executive

Albany, N. Y, January 6.--lnterest in the administration of the state depart ment of prisons, which subsided a week ago when Thomas Mott Osborne relin- quished the wardenship of Sing Sing. was revived today by Governor Whitman's demand that John B. Riley, state super intendent of prisons offer his resigna- ton immediately.
 In letter to Superintendent Riley the governor alleged that the prison execu- tive had attempted to hamper the work of Orbornes successor, Prof. George w. Kirchwey, in ordering the transfer from Sing Sing to Dannemora prison of sev- eral members of the Mutual Welfare league the Sing Sing self-governing body organized by Warden Osborne. This action, Governor Whitman declared, was taken without conference with either Warden Kirchwey or the governor, and its effect, if carried out" he wrote. must be to break down the administration and render the new warden's position intolerable."
 Superintendent Riley received the com munication in New York tonight.
 It was said tonight that William Orr, the governors secretary, probably would be named as Riley's successor until such time as the governor could appoint a permanent superintendent.

DENY AUTHORSHIP
 OF NAPIER LETTER
Admiral Cardale Issues Signed State ment Assuring Hellenes That Diplomatic Officer Did Not
 Disparage Greeks

Athens, January 5.-(Via Paris January 6.)--It was denied here today that any diplomatic officer of the Brit sh legation wrote the personal letter captured when Col. H. D. Napier, for merly British military attache at So- fla, was taken off Greek steamer by German submarines near Messina in December. Parts of the letter have been quoted, but without context or signature, in Vienna dispatches re- ceived here.

Cardale, acting head of the British naval mission and ranking officer in the Greek army, and also vice president of the Anglo Hellenic league, publishes signed statement in tnc evening newspapers today in which he assures the minis ter of marine for himself and the en- tire British mission "of the honor with which we regard our service under the Greek flag and the deep respect and sense of loyalty which we feel toward the minister of marine"
 In an interview with the Associated Press Admiral Cardale said:
 personally we have served With the Greeks over three years, during which time We have taken part in the wars against the Bulgarians and Turks, at the risk of infringing our own country's neutrality. The service of the entire mission has always been loyal to the Greek. My own Philo- Hellenic sentiments are so well known that they do not need explanation
 It is expected that one member of the British naval mission may resign,
 A dispatch from Vienna January l, said the Austrian government purposed publishing letters and papers found in the possession of Colonel Napier and Capt Arthur Wilson, who also was captured The documents, it was added, contained proposals to Greece from the entente powers presented by the British minister at Athens Novem- Der 26. The officers were also de- clared to have borne letters Written at the British legation at Athens which contained disparaging remarks about Greece.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS THINKS PRESIDENT


 These are very practical suggestions" said the President. and I for my part believe that they are going to lead the way to something that America has prayed for for many generation"
 He said the Monroe doctrine always had been and always would be maintained by the United States on it's own author ity but that the doctrine did not dis close what attitude the United States would assume towards other nations of the hemisphere and consequently the ether nations had been distrustful of it.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. January 6.-(Special.) )-The Alabama delegation this afternoon agreed to await developments before asking President Wilson to appoint Judge Henry D. Clayton to the supreme court vacancy. It was the consensus of opinion that the delegation should determine which of several available Alabamians the Presi- dent includes in his list of probable ap- pointees. and then get solidly and az gressively behind that one.

 It is expected that the action of the Steel corporation will be followed by most of it's leading competitors, including some | of the so-called independent operators. During the past few weeks there have been rumors of labor troubles, arising in part from differences between employers and employees over the wage scale.
