Frankfurter Zeituna Calls Them Fins
Americans Whose Example
Should Result in Good.

New York, March IA wireless
dispatch to the New York Times from
Berlin, dated Tuesday, says:
The essence of tOday's leading ar
ticles is that as long as there are men
in the American congress who bold
~ refuse to have their country in
yolved in the European slaughter
merely for the sake of gratifying VIII
sons yainglorious ambition, there is
hope that the common sense of the
American people will assert itself and
that they will not permit the appail-
ing insanity to spread to the New
World that holds the Old World in a
merciless grip
The Frankiurter Zeitung compares
the recent proceedings in congress
with those OF the parliaments of Ron
mania and Italy shortly before these
two nations entered the war, and ar
rives at the conclusion that, although
America has in President Wilson an
Improvement on Salandra and Brati
ano, hard-hpaded men like Senators
Stone and La Toilette prevented him
from sweeping the legislators off their
feet and practically frustrated the
presidents plan to wrest from con-
gress privileges vested in it by the
constitution.
1.-The example of these fine Amer;
cans. who remained uncontaminated
by Wilson's blind devotion to Eng
land, the newspaper says, was bound
to make deep impression, especially
in the West, where the people surely
could see no glory in being killed for
the sake OF tine Union Jack
THE fact that the old congress ad-
iourned without definite result cannot
but influence the new congress. new
members of which have to thank the
Dacifists for their elections, the
Frankfort paper asserts"

MIRAGE LURED U. S.
ship TO ITS GRAVE
kOna Followed VisiGn 10 De-
Struction IA Isle South
Of Australia.

San Francisco, March "a mirage
lured the American schooner kona,
o. this city, to its destruction on Kan
CARGO Island, south OF Australia,
early in February, according to &
cablegram received from Captain \.
Hansen, master OF the craft.
A shore line sometimes visible and
sometimes invisible; hcadlands that
retreated and advanced, remaining an
parently the same distance from the
ship, no matter which way she turned
destroyed the calculations of nay;ga-
lion and finally landed bewilderod
captain and crew ashore.
Captain Harsen's statement is Gn.-
plified by a report received by the
United States photographic Office from
the schooner W. H. aIarston, Of San
Francisco, which saw the same mirage
e.'d htSA ioN y ~St>&pti Va HItlilt 1Gtt.
The kora was passing through In
vestigator Strait and the Gulf Of ST.
Vincent on her way to Adelaide, Aus
tralia. The strait, more than 100
miles vide, runs north and south.
Captain Hansen sailed eight miles
off the west shore during the FIRST
night, but at dawn he was surprised
to see not only the weston, but also
The eastern shorcline. The latter ap-
peared eight miles to starboard. Here
WAS strait 100 miles wide that ap-
peaicd sixteen. Captain Hansen and
his mates decided they were victims
Of an optica! illusion. So they sailed
in a wide zigzag and the eastern shore
was always. i;ist Oh the horizon while
tie western sh0Te behaved a. normal
~, disappearing and rearpe;,r:ng as
the ship altered its course. SO the
navigatorS decided that the .casterly
land was a mirage. But later tie
mirage became q reality and noar the
entrance OF The gulf the vsssai went CT
he beach OF Kangaroo Island. =

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE LATER
SEES REPUBLICANS ON
CLOTURE RULE.
QUICK ACTION NOW EXPECTED
One Plan OF Modified Resolution Is
to Limit Debate to One Hour
for Each Member Upon
TWo-Thirds Vote.

Washington, March 7.-President
House with Senators Owen, Reed,
Walsh, Swanson, James and Hoke
Smith, the committee caucus. dis
cussed the proposed changes in the
senate's rules.
After the White House conference
the Democratic senators hurried TO
the capitol for a conference with Re
publican leaders to lay before them a
plan for modified cloture which the
Democrats hope 10 bring before the
senate. The Democrats said they ex-
pected prompt action.
Senator Owen said he desired a rule
under which the senate rules could be
changed by q majority vote. All of
the senators promised, however, they
would not haggle over details il a
reasonable cloture plan could be
agreed upon.
The president told the senators he
was anxious for action as promptly as
possible. He said the country was
deeply aroused over the situation and
thai a few senators should not be al
lowed to interfere with the welfare
of the country.
After the Democratic senators left
The White House they renewed their
conference with the Republican clO-
ture committee.
When the senate met, Senator
Walsh of Montana introduced reso-
luton to provide for rcadoption of the
old senate rules, with the exception
Of the rule concerning precedence OF
motions and for the appointment by
III" vicc-president of a special commit
tee TO revise that rule. The commit
tcs would consist of four Democrats
and three Republicans.
Senator Walsh did not ask for irl-
mediate action on the resolution in
view of the unsettled condition OF af-
fairs. but was accorded the privilege
Of addressing the senate regarding it
by unanimous consent.

IMPRESSION PREVAILS THAT &C

NEAR FUTURE.
OFFICIALS sEETHe PRESIDENT
Some of Wilson's Advisers argue
That Old Statute on Mer-
chantmen Does Not APP
ply in This Case.

Washington, March THE definite
Impression that American merchant
men would be armed in the near fu-
ture gained ground following confer
ences between President Wilson and
administration officials and Demo
cratic senator's
Although Mir. Wilson had been ad-
yised by some legal authorities that
he has the authority to arm ships
without waiting fer action by con
gress, Others among his advisers have
believed it would be the better policy
to wait and see whether the senate
will change its rules TO prevent fill
clustering.
Those who say the president has
authority to arm ships argue that the
old law. passed in 1919. forbidding a
merchantmen 10 fire on "a pubic
armed vessel of nation in amitr
with the United States" would not
apply to the present situation.
The president conferred with Sec
rotaries Lansing and Daniels al their
offices, but the usual Tuesday cabinet
meeting was cancelled. and in some
quarters ii was believed there would
be no announcement on the question
until after the cabinet meeting kri'
day.
Senator Lodge attempted to intro
duce the armed neutrality bill killed
by The filihUStrrs. but Vice President
Marshall sustained = FGint Of order
hat The senate could rot Consider leg
islation in extra session when the
house had not been called to meet.

cation that she G'''-"r~s to Gprmany's
