of the government this week but ex- pressed the opinion that it was 'in- compatible with the public interest," to give the senate further details con- corning it at the present time. After an all-day debate the senate last night adopted 8 resolution asking the pres ident to transmit any information he thought advisable and few hours later the president compiled by for warding a report from Secretary Lam sing. which the president specified had his approval.
 After the naval bill is disposed of the senate plans to take up the armed neutrality" bill and it's early passage Is believed certain unless Senator La Toilette should filibuster.
 The senate probably will substitute it's own bill, which grants the pres- ident authority to use ''other instru- mentalities" not provided by the house bill, to protect neutral rights.
 The sudden abandonment of party lines and the apparent wave of pa triotism which swept both houses dur ing debate yesterday developed one of the most notable legislative situations in years.

gram of U-BOat Warfare.
 Berne. Switzerland Thursday, March 1, via Paris. March 2.-The recent reports that the Austro-Hun garian government has determined to make every effort to maintain diplo- matic relations with the United States is corroborated by information reach ing here from Vienna. The impress sion prevails that Austria intends to make every sacrifice which it regards as reasonable to avoid a rupture although such ac- tion apparently would mean flying in the face of Germany
 An American in close touch with Austrian diplomatic affairs. who arr rived in Berne today, said that among those who expect Austria to attempt to Dlacate American opinion reason was divided as to the causes under lying the divergence from the policy of Germany. Many, he said be- lieved Austria was acquiescing for the purpose of preserving unbroken and indirect bond between herself and the United States while the other group was convinced that Austria was asserting independence of Ger many.
 That the American embassy at Vienna is not expecting an immediate break is, perhaps indicated by the of the embassy, who, today, tele- of the embassy. who. today. telle- graphed to Mrs. Grew to go to Vienna. She vii depart tomorrow.

 July would be great mistake. The money we need now. If we do not need 1t ave may need it soon.
 For Extra Session.
 also think there ought to be an extra session of the whole congress. In the present situation the whole American government ought to be here, matters ought to be left en- ttrely to, the. minority. Congress ought to be here in this condition of public affairs. If necessary, appro- prfatid0 bills can be held up but this, naval bill ought to pass, for no one can tell when we will need every dollar. with the utmost quickness.'

RUSSIAN UPHEAVAL
 STlRS WASHINGTON There Is Belief That Keren- sky May Be Restored - To Power.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Interest in the latest Russian political upheaval was intense here today.
 Attention naturally was directed to the probable effect of the chaotic sit- uation on the military fortunes of the Allies. Whether a strong central gov ernment, capable of prosecuting 8 vigorous campaign against the Ger man forces on the eastern front can be evolved from the present turmoil, is a matter of eager speculation.
 Belief in some quarters in the pos sibility that Kerensky may return to power is predicted upon assumption that the strong Cossack element fa- vors the maintenance of a conserva4 tive form of rule.
 Even if the extremists carry out their decision to conclude separate peace with Germany, dissenting forces in other parts of Russia, it was point. ed out, will be able to place in the field military force capable o1 keeping the German armies occupied. At any event, the severe Russian win ter, it is thought, will preclude any possibility of a great German offen- sive before spring.

SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN.

Copenhagen. Nov. 9.-Captain Per sius, naval expert of the Berliner Tageblatt, notes a growing impatience among Germans with the results of the submarine campaign registered in a swelling flood of letters demanding an answer to the question when shall we have England beaten?"
