washington, Sept. 24.--Prediction
that Germany would wage a war for
world conquest in about fifteen years,
was made to the late Admiral Dewey
at Manila in 1898 by Capt. Won Goetz,
OF the German imperial navy, Senator
Lewis today told the senate.
quoting a report from Admiral
Dewey to the navy department, the II
linois senator said Won Goetz told Ad.
nlrai Dewey Germany would capture
Parls as the first step to subjugnting
england. The taking of New York
and washington was to follow, that
Germany might secure an enormous
cash indemnity. The wiping out OF
the Monroe doctrine and the control
OF South America by Germany also
were predicted by the German Off
Ger, declared Senator Lewis, who was
discussing peace negotiations.
For some reason the government
had not given the report wide circu-
lation, Senator Lewis continued, but
In the face Of it now, "any senator
who speaks here or elsewhere against
any measure OF his country lends him.

Senator Lewis scored what he
termed "laggards In patriotism" and
those who argue against war.
The country guarantees free
speech to every American" the sena-
tor said, but that man who uses free
speech against America Is not the
American to whom free speech is
guaranteed. There can never be lib
erty of speech to an American citizen
to destroy the liberty OF the American
nation"

! Washington, Sept 24.---An official
explanation of the Korniloff revolt is
sued here today by the Russian en-
bassy tends to confirm accounts pub
lished in Petrograd, laying blame for
the trouble upon Vladimir Lvoff the
duma member who informed Premier
Kerensky that Korniloff demanded
that he be made dictator.
Since the revolt was put down, ac-
cording to the embassy a thorough
reorganization has become necessary,
because the troops lacked confidence
In their commanders, and changes
are being made in administrative. and
army positions which will result if the
sreatest benefit
An embassy statement says:
Provisions Adopted.
The plans advocated by General
Korniloff were under consideration
and most of them had been adopted by
the provisional government on the
morning of September s, and three
remaining measures were adopted but
had not been put into operation
These measures We're:
THE enforcement of the death PEN
atty in the rear of tha army, the wild
ening of the territory to be considered
as the theater of war so as to enforce
military law, and the enforcement of
martial law in Petrograd.
''On the morning of September it
was decided by the provisional gov
ernment to adopt these measures, but
that evening Vladimir Lvoff came
from General Korniloff with a flat
demand that dictatorship be vested in
him. A judicial inquiry is under way
to determine how this demand came
to be brought and to determine the
origin of the measure
Troops Suspect Commanders.
After the quelling of the revolt the
government faced a very difficult sit
uation, caused by the fact that the
troops had a lack Of confidence in
their commanders and viewed many
of them with suspicion. This led to
many changes in command and de-
manded thorough reorganization of
the army.
"The practice of the soldiers COM
mittees in judging on their own ac-
count the connection of their COM
manders with the Korniloff revolution
had to be stopped by the government,
as the government prefers to de-
termine the culpability of the officers
for itself. The present situation seems
to allow the government to enforce
regulations made before the Korniloff
revolt. Changes are being made in
administrative and army positions
which will be of greatest benefit"
Death Penalty Enforced.
An embassy official said the death
penalty for offenses in the rear of the
army is being enforced In regard to
the report that the Bolsheviki group
in the Petrograd council of workmen
and soldiers had put through a reso.
luton against the government, it was
said that at the last council out of a
membership of 1,500 only 400 repre-
sentatives were present and that the
Bolsheviki group were able to control
the meeting.

opinion OF the German reply to the
pope's peace note, Macmillan Harden,
editor of Die Zukunft, in a statement
to The Associated Press, today, pre-
faced his remarks with the reminder
that every nation and every govern
ment Is more or less tradition bound,
none probably with tighter cords than
Germany. This tradition. he said
heavily impedes any effort to break
through the terrifying charged circle
with which wars Affections encom-
pass them.
The German reply" said Herr
Harden. 'is the first visible attempt
to escape from this charged circle,
whose final obliteration Is a prelim-
mary condition to an enduring peace"
Herr Harden declared that the note
reflects the honest and sincere will
OF the majority of the people as un-
eauivocallv expressed in the reich
stag resolution.
