SENATE SPEEDS UP
ON AVIATION BILL
Committee Votes Favorable
Report in 45-Minute Ses-
sion-Daniels Explains

Washington. July 17.-Another
speed record in considering the $780,
100000 aviation program bill passed
last Saturday by the house in five
hours was made today when the sem
ate military committee at As minute
session unanim ously ordered a favor
able report without amendment.
In letter to Speaker Clark today
explaining the reasons. for the de-
ficiency appropria ton of $45, 5,O0O,0 900
asked for last week for naval aviation
Secretary Daniels says information re-
ceived from abroad and further
working out of the departments plans
convince him that the existing ap-
preparation for naval aviation based
on earlier estimates are now made
quate. The $45,OO0,OOO is desired for
development of the costal patrol from
naval bases and for developing of the
scouting service in conjunction with
ship operation and for carrying out
the plan of cooperative operations
af1oat with the allies.
Explaining his purpose to establish
a navy-owned aircraft factory to aid
in expansion of the countrys building
facilities Mr. Daniels says:
"In addition to purchasing from
existing and prospective private
plants, it is our intention to assist in
this expansion by providing facilities
for building a part of the aeroplanes

FINLAND IS thorn
IN Side OF RUSSIA
independence Move RespOn-
sible for Crisis-May Re-
suit in Anarchy.

Helsingfors, July 1.-THE proposed
promulgation whereby Finland seeks
to wrest from Russia complete inde-
pendence has caused extreme tension
and nervousness. The situation is
complicated by the Diets continued
refusal to grant a full 35O,0OO,OOO
marks loan to Russia and by a threat
of a general strike if the Diet post
pones the passage of the new COM
munal bill abolishing property quail
f1cations. The latter was the subject
of demonstration in the senate last
night. If no compromise is reached
the bill will be on third reading to-
morrow backed by socialists and a
handful of bourgeoise members.
A. I. Shingaroff, Russian minister
of finance, explained Russia's difficult
ties through inability to pay her SOL
diers and sailors in Finland on ac-
count of lack of Finnish currency and
Finland's refusal to accept the ruble.
Thereupon Americans undertook in
behalf Of Russia disposal of the Fin
nish marks obtainable in America and
| also to furnish money of other for
eien currencies which Finland ac-
cepts.
Governor Gen. Stakovitch outlined
to the Associated Press Russia S
standpoint 1.-THE seriousness of the
situation today, he said, "arises from
the fact that majority of the senate
in the Diet abandoned legality and
the principle Of mutually and insists
on regulating its own inter-relations
by the will Of Finland alone.
'"That is not all. The new inde-
pendence bill also is a fiat violation OF
! Finland's own continental laws"
Asked what would be Russa's atti-
tude in the event the measure be-
comes a law, M. Sta.kovitch answered:
1.-The provisional government prob
ablv will issue a declaration of pro-
test to the Allies" If the bill is
forced through and the Diet leg1slates
under it, opposition and refusal to
obey the laws is expected on the part
of those whose property interests are
affected. Eventual anarchy is pos
sibility since Finland is without ma
terial force to compel obedience

Go to Experimentation. Won
Stein Said to Have Given Up.

Copenhagen, July 1.-THE selec-
ton of a successor to Foreign Secre-
tary zimmerman was still unsettled
yesterday. Pressure was being
brought from two blocs for the pro-
posed nomination of Count Brock
droff-Rantzau the German minister at
Copenhagen and to substitute Ad-
miral Won Hintze, minister to Nor
way, Or Count Won Bernstorff, former
ambassador to Washington. The
present minister to Christiania Is
greatly desired by pan-Germans and
advocates of a super vigorous policy
not only on account of his high diplo-
matte qualifications but chiefly on ac-
count of his antecedents. Apparently
it is felt that a former naval officer,
particularly who played such a promi-
nent role at Manila in the events Of
1898 will offer the necessary guar
antee that the German foreign policy
in regard to peace negotiations will
afterwards be conducted along de-
sired energetic lines. The emperor
is said to favor Won Hintze.
The Bernstorf party which sprung
up since the return of the eX-ambas-
sador, is endeavoring TO plan a, place
for him. Georg Bernhard, the politi-
mends Bernstorff to Chancellor
Micha ellis, not only as a capable and
experienced diplomat but as a person
of the necessary calibre and qualifi-
cations whom the chancellor will need
as co-adjutor and adviser in the
coming peace negotiations.
Chancellor Michaelis is described
in special dispatches from Berlin as
working night and day on his pro-
gram speech.
The Loak Anzeiger says the
changes have been completed and
the new chancellor will appear in the
Reichstag accompanied by all his col
leagues.

Hartford, July 17-Lieut. Col. Ed
ward A. Shuttleworth, inspector-in
structor of the Connecticut National
Guard said this afternoon that he had
just received a long distance tele-
phone call from headquarters of the
northwestern department in Boston
that orders had been issued for NOV
ing the First regiment, Connecticut
Infantry, to New Haven, there to
join the Second regiment, and that it
was very possible" that the first

The orders have not been received
here, but Col. Shuttleworth believed
they would be here this afternoon or
this evening. 1t is considered ex-
tremely unlikely that the regiment
will return to Hartford before being
sent to the concentration camp at
