A satire on Kaiser Wilhelm written
by Louis Syberkrop, of Creston, Iowa
has won the Iowa man much COM
ment during recent weeks. He has
received from Joseph Tumulty, secre-
tary to the president, Secretary Dan
iels and Colonel Roosevelt, requests
for copies of the article, which is i'm
the form of a letter from his satanic
majesty to the German emperor. The
letter follows:-
1.-THE Internal Region, June 20, 1T.
"To Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary of AL

"My Dear Wilhelm: | can call you

BY Associated PrcsS

Washington, March 9.-The Senate
Today began its deliberations under
a new rule which will forever end or
ganized filibusters in that body. It
will, if enforced, prevent a little
group of wilful men" whom President
Wilson held responsible for blocking
the passage of the armed neutrality
bill, in staving off a vote upon a bill
before the Senate.
The new rule was adopted by the
Senate last night by vote of 76 to 8.
Under it two-thirds of the senators
present and voting can in the future
limit debate and say when a vote
shall be taken on a pending measure
The rule is the one which was agreed
to by both the Democratic and Re-
publican caucuses Wednesday night.
Endless Talk Killed
In adopting the new rule, the Sem
ate is abandoning a century-old GUS
tom under which a senator was per-
mited to talk as long as his physical
strength held out.
The new rule was under discussion
only six hours when a vote was reach
ed Such quick action was unex-
pected. although a prolonged strug-
gle was not looked for. Those voting
against the rule were Senators La
Folette, Gronna and Sherman.

Wilson to Give Orders
to Arm Merchantmen
Within "a Hours

Washington, March 8. - Secretary
Lansing and Attorney General Gre
CORY have given President Wilson their
opinion that he has legal authority to
arm merchant ships for protection
against submarines without awaiting
congressional sanction, and the Presi-
dents decision as to what he will do
was expected to-day or tomorrow.
The Senate's modification of it's
rules to guard against another filibus-
ter on the armed neutrality bill, led
some officials to believe the Presi-
dent would now call a special session
OF Congress soon to pass on the neu-
trality measure. In view of the long
time which probably will be required
to assemble and organize the new
House, however, and the Presidents
known desire for early action to get
American shipping to moving again,
1T was intlmated in certain administra-
tion quarters the President would di-
rect the arming of ships by exec
utive order.
