many SAYS that Emperor William has
sent the following telegram TO Dr.. Won
-Hollweg. the Imperial Chan
cellor:
"Your report OF the passing OF the
bin for national civilian service fills
me with great delight. My heartiest
thanks are due for the cooperation OF
the Imperial government and the
Reichstag, sustained by patriotic
spirit
"The German people thus again have
shown firmly that they are resolved
20 endure every sacrifice of blood and
treasure to labor for the victorious
accomplishment of the defence of the
fatherland and its power. The people,
filed with such uniform determine

But the governments immediate
programme" the Premier concluded.
"must be directed 20 winning com
plete and conclusive victory. cost what
II may. The war must continue until
German militarism is destroyed be
yond all possibility Of recrudescence in
the early future. The war must be
crowned by victory not only over the
enemy without but the enemy within.
The war has opened the eyes Of the
people, and they realize now that Rus
sian industry, education, science and
art have been under the yoke Of Ger
msnism."
When Premier Trepofr mounted the
tribune TO read the governments
statement the parties Of the Extreme
Left began a hostile demonstration
which prevented the Premier from
speaking for q quarter Of an hour VI.
Trepof thrice appeared on the tribune,
but each time left, owing TO the tur-
moil
To end the demonstration the Pres
ident OF the Duma proposed the ex-
pu!sion for eight sittings OF twelve
members Of the Socialist and Labor
parties. including the leaders Tcheidse
and kerenski. This proposal was
adopted. and the Premier was then
able TO deliver his speech
The Duma reaSsembled after sus-
pension for ten days by imperial de-
cree. without any promise Of a final
settlement OF the dispute between the
government and the representatives OF
the people, which lost nothing Of its
acuteneSs during the interim. Leaders
Of :he puma said before the meeting
that they were wholly uniformed as
to the attitude adopted by the gov
eminent and did not look for any i'm
mediate clearing Of the political at
mosphere
In the opinion OF a majority Of the
Deputies. the partial changes in the
q the first meeting Of the Duma. in
volving the appointment Of Alexander
Tropof as Premier. had relieved the
situation only temporarily and did not
20 far enough to alter radically the
fundamental differences between them
and the present government.
Government Openly Criticised.
The meeting was, however. the most
significant demonstration Of the accu-
mulative force which the cause Of the
Duma has acquired since the opening of
the present session. For the first time
demands for a change in the character
Of the present government were not
only voiced in unequivocal terms, leav-
ing not the slightest doubt, but were
allowed TO be published in the news
papers.
VI. Purishkevich, vice president Of the
Union of True Russians, severely ar
raigned the government, and spoke
frankly Of the German influences
which he said, pervading not only the
interior of the country but even the
army, had conspired 70 extinguish pa
triotism and the fighting efficiency OF
the nation, and of mismanagementa and
corruption in the economic life of the
country. which included the CONVEX
sion to personal use Of the public re-
sources of the country at a time when
they were most urgently needed
Added weight was given to NJ. Pu-
rishkN ch's words by the fact that he
belongs to the extreme cor servative
group. which, siding with the govern
ment. has given little support to the
campaign against the present cabinet.

With Stielow transferred from the
death house. his lawyers will continue
their efforts to establish his innocence
and prove that Erwin King and Clar-
ence O'Connell were the real murder
ers.
The Governor did not oyershoot the
mark in asserting that Stielow has
been offered remarkable opportunity TO
prove himself innocent.
Had he been q millionaire he could
scarcely have commanded a more for
midable array of legal talent than that
which has been lined up behind him
Expert testimony of sort that in
ordinary cases comes high was also at
his disposal, and through it he became
famous in one of his appeals as Child
Man Charley"-a sobriquet that sticks.
Stielow. said the experts, had the men
tality of boy of seven. and therefore
he fell easy prey TO the detective who
wrung the confession from him.
