STATE DEPART. REVIEWS
 AFFAIRS IN GERMANY
Not the Slightest Reason to Believe There Will Be Revolution There.

washin gton. July 13.-The Gerns T political crisis ccnters principally or the question of peace and internal re- form, according 10 a review Of state department advices issued tonight by the committee on public information and there is not the slightest reason to believe that it will result in any thing remotely approaching revolu tion. or in any diminution of Ger many's military power"
 The review says # is apparent that Germany's food supply will hold out till the present crop is harvested. al- though the sufferings of the people have been intensified grea'< during the past five months.
 'Tn spite of the bitterness Of the present contest in Berlin. there is not the slightest reason to believe that it will result in anything remotely ap- preaching revolution. or in any dinin- ution Of Germany's military povsr. The crisis probably will lead 10 inter nal reforms which from the point of view of Germany, will seem colossal but will be. in truth. only the first steps toward making the German peo- pie masters of their own destiny.
 The most that can be expected 10 result from the crisis in the near fu- ture, is. first. abolition of the Prus- sian three-cIass voting system and the esta blishment of equal sufra ge second, demand by the reichstsg that the government should declare it's ad- Eerence 10 the so-caHeu war pro- gramme of August 4, 1914, which stat ed that Germany was not driven to war by the desire of conquest but that the German people cook up arms only in defense of freedom. independence and to guard their territorial posses sions.
 Should elections to the Prussia Diet be based on equal manhood suf- frage, control of the Diet would pass from the junker parties. ~% But splendid as this reform would be. Germany will not be on the road to po- litical freedom until the chancellor has been made responsible to the reich stag and until the chancellor has been given control over the military 
 At present the chancellor is re- sponsible to the emperor alone and is

 Hereafter no members of the Ma tional guard will be discharged or retired to the reserves from the ser vice following the expiration of their terms of enlistment until the end of the war. A bulletin just received from the headquarters of the northeast de- partment in Boston calls attention to bulletin No. 30 of the war department, which contains the following:
 All enlistments, including those in the regular army reserve. which are in force on the date of the approval of this act, and which terminate during the emergency, shall continue in force during the emergency. unless sooner discharged"
 This is now held to apply to enlist ments in the National gUSrd, says the paper. Application to continue in ac- tice service after the expiration of three years service is no longer neces- sary or required. as continuance in active service will be automatic.

CLAIM DISMISSED.
Dominick Carotennto Will Not Re-
 eeiVe Compensation.

The claim of Dominick Carotennto of g Thames street against the Hall Bros, has been dismissed by Compen- sation Commissioner James J. Dono- hue
 The claimant was a weaver employ ed by the Hall Brothers at their mill at Hallville.
 From a letter dated July 1. 1917, and received at the office of the un- dersigned on July ?. 1917, it appears that the claimant left his employment on May Is on account of a headache and a stomachac He also stated in his letter that he went to work on the following Monday and was unable to continue work on account of a swell ing in his hand. After this swelling appeared in his hand. according to claimants letter he consulted a phy- sician who opened the wound, and, not satisfied with this treatment, he went to New Haven to consult his own physician, and was put into a hospi- tai for 15 days.
 The testimony of fellow employe was to the effect that claimant was out rowing and that the claimant stated to him that he had sore fin ger and that he didn't know how he got it. didn't know whether the row ing did it or not; from which fact it is very evident that the injury did not occur in the mill, for if 1t had claimant would have been able to state so definitely, and there would have been no doubt in his mind about that fact
 The foreman of the weaving depart nent. who was present at the hear ing. made positive statement that claimant received no injury while in the course of his employment at the mill
 In view of the foregoing statements the claim of the claimant is hereby dismissed.
