WILLIAMS CALLS HALT TO
 CONGRESSIONAL CHATTER
GAS MASKS PROVIDED
 FOR U. s. SOLDIERS
Severe Tests to Be Made to Encourage Sammies in
 Action.

American Training Camp in France, Aug. '. (By the Associated Press.)- The issuance of French gas masks to | the American soldiers has brought them a little nearer to the realization of their proximity to real warfare, The men are looking forward to the gas experiments with the greatest possible interest as giving a touch of adventureSto their training. When the so-called "gas house" Is completed the men will be put through g. mixture of & deadly vapor several times stronger than will ever be encountered upon the field of battle.
 Some German prisoners have
 claimed that in their training they have
 endured periods of from five to ten
 minutes in gas mixture 50 times as
 strong as could possibly be maintained
 in an open air attack. The men are
 put through these intense mixtures to
 demonstrate to them that with proper
 care and use of the equipment they
 be encountered in the front line trenches.
 It Is most important branch of the modern training of a soldier that he should be convinced that there aae many methods of effectively dealing with the terrors of later day warfare; that careless, slovenly and unheeding soldiers are the ones first to succumb. It is even demonstrated to the soldiers that the terrifying liquid fire can be avoided except in most isolated cir cunstances.
 Lectures are being arranged for the officers, then for the men, for in gas training officers have to go through identical drills and experiences. Ton seconds will be the outside limit allowed for the adjustment of helmets after the gas alarm has been sounded. The increasing use of gas shells from the longest range guns makes the carrying of masks far back of the line an imperative necessity. The first traces of gas poisoning are a hot mouth and irritation of the throat. Despite proof that the Allies have so often produced to the contrary, the terrible death allied soldiers died when this hideous mode of warfare was first sprung upon unsuspecting foes by the high command of the German army is attested by many allied soldiers
 The substances they assert exert simplifying action and after long ex- posture have an asphyxiating effect. Under their influence vision is affected. A man subjected to 1t Is forced to close his eyes in 8 few seconds and can observe nothing.

GeddeS Starts to Clean House and
 Shows Admiral Burney Out
WEMYSS SECOND SEA LORD
Exports Displeased At What Are Termed Half Measures-Displace Admiral to Be Detailed to Special Duty.

London, Aug. (delayed)-OfRcial l announcement was made at tho ad- ] mlralty tonight that Admiral Sir Ce- l c1l Burney, second sea lord, had been replaced by Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
 Wemyss.
 Alan Garrett Anderson, hitherto vice l chairman Of the wheat commission, l succeeds Sir Eric c. Geddes, the new l first lord of the admiralty, as con- 1 troller of naval construction.
 MT. Anderson, who will be respon- sible for the admiralty sfipbuilding l requirements, has a close knowledge | of both shipbuilding and railroad ] work. He was long associated with a company of brokers and is director l of the Midland Railway. He is a son of Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, a well known physician and
 the first woman to be elected as may or in England, being the chief magis- trate of Aldeburgh.
 The changes in the British admir- alty announced last night are attract ing much attention and are interpret ed as the first step in reorganiza- ton which, it is supposed, Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, first lord of ad- mtralty, was appointed to carry out. In quarters where the existing ad- miralty methods are regarded as un- satisfactory the present step is de- nounced as a "procrastinatory half measure,' and 1t is declared the change ought to have been so complete as to give the country a resolute and energetic admiralty permeated by an offensive spirit"
 There is no implication of incapaci- " Q cro ct services as Admiral Jellicoe's second ognized, and an official annouceme ent states he will be employed on special duty. It is assumed that as his record was made in active command he may welcome the change
 An official statement contains the announcement that an opportunity Is to be taken of the appointment of Ad- miral Wemyss to re-arrange the duties of the second sea lord of the admiral ty, who will be relieved of detailed administrative work connected with the personnel of the fleet. This is in- terprcted as meaning that the second sea lord will not be trammelled by details which subordinates can do but will be associated more closely than was h1s predecessor with the prepara- tion of war plans.
 Another change in the admiralty is the removal of Sir William Ora ham Greene from the permanent secretary ship at the admiralty to a secretary ship in the ministry of munitions under Winston Spence Churchill. Sir Williams departure from the admiral ty is regarded as of considerable inn portance, as the post of permanent secretary, which he has held since 1911, always has been largely respon- sible for the continuity of admiralty tradition and policy. It is this con- tinuity which is regarded by many as a most dangerous factor in that it flinders initiative and adaptibility to current needs.

MRS. DE SAULLES TO
 REMAIN IN A CELL
District Attorney Announces He Mill Fight Release Until Trial
NOT SICK, PHYSICIAN SAYS
County Doctor Reports Slayer of For mer Yale Football Star Can Receive Proper Medical Attention While Still in Jail.

Mineola, Aug. 7.-Efforts to have
 Mrs. Blanca De Saulles removed from
 jail, where she is held for the mur-
 der of her former husband, John
 Longer De Saulles, to hospital owing
 to what her attorney terms a nervous
 collapse, will be fought by the state,
 District Attorney Charles R. Weeks
 announced today. He declared he did
 not believe she is iii as a serious con-
 dition as her attorney Henry Uter-
 mart, would have the public think. "If application is made in court for
 her removal" said the district attor-
 ney, II shall have my own physicians
 examine the woman and will abide by
 their decision. I see no reason why
 Mrs. De Saulles should have any more
 liberties than any other person in a similar position"
 Dr. Cleghorn, the county physician,
 who, with two other physicians made an examination of Mrs De Saulles last
 night said today he did not believe her condition justified her removal to hospital. She needed medical att tention, he said, but this could be gv- en in the jail
 She appears to lack nourishment and is thin and wasted" said Dr. Cleg- horn, ,"and she will have to be built up and kept under observation" District Attorney Weeks said today he has detectives gathering evidence in the case to be used at the trial, which will not be rushed ahead of other cases, but must take its regular course.
 Mother, Brother and Sister Coming. The mother of Mrs. De Saulle> cabled from Valparaiso, Chile. that she was leaving there on Wednesday for New York and was bringing an- other daughter, Miss Amalie Errazu- rig Vergara, and her son, William,
 with her. The message also said that the mother would give every aid pos sible to her daughter.
 The belief that Mrs. De Saulles' de fense will be temporary emotional in- sanity was strengthened today. Her attorney reiterates she had no inten- tion of shooting her former husband.

Copenhagen, Aug, 7.-Theodore Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt, scoffs at the appointments except that of Dr. Won Kuhlmann, whom he advises to use his elbows vigorously to gain room to run his own departm ent and prevent intrusion by pr. Helferrich.
 The Lokal Anzeiger also advises a firm hand policy and holds out as an enticement the glittering opportunity of Heading the premier military power of the world to that just and per- manent peace which will be as great a victory for Germany on the dip lomatic field as that of Hindenburg on the field of war;
 The Anzeiger's adoption of the phrase ''peace by understanding does not imply any change of heart in the uaper. which is committed absolutely to q powerful pan-G German peace.

Says Obstructionists Have Danced Their Dance and Sung Their Song and Country Is Tired.
LASHES SMALL GROUP FOR WASTE OF TIME
Cites Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson As Men Who Are Doing Their Duty Constant Gabbing About Nothing Making Nation, Nervous and Asks "Why Take Up Time of American People With This?"

Washington. Aug. 7-The confer ence report on the food control bill was again the subject of debate in the senate today. Leaders believed principal opposition came from dem- ocratic members. notably Senators Reed. Hollis and Gore.
 Senator Williams, declaring 1t was we'll for the senate to hear what the country thinks, denounced obstruc- tionists.
 Tt is a time to forget party align ments," he said. "and I am glad to say that majority of both the dem- ocrats and republicans have done so, but there is small group on both sides who have formed themselves into an anti-administration and anti American party" Consciously or un- consciously, he said. they had put themselves into the attitude of op- posing everything that goes to carry on the war. 'Tt is time for the ma jority of the democratic and repub- lican members to get together to say to the two little groups you have danced your ballet you have sung your song. America is tired of you; We are tired Of you; and want you to do something.' Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson all are setting examples. All three have proved their Americanism. They are tired, the country is tired, the house Is tired and two-thirds of the senate is tired of this constant: gabfest-this constant gabbing about nothing. We're tagging through the dog days, making everybody nervous, and tired. We talk on this bill that isn't changing a vote. Why take up the time of the American people with this?'
 Awaiting the presidents signature today were bills to increase the In- terstate Commerce Commission from seven to nine and to authorize the president, through the commission or some other agency of his choosing. to prescribe what commodities are most essential to the wars prosecution and to order common carriers to give preference to their transportation. Conference reports on both bills were adopted by the senate yesterday and had been approved earlier by the house.

Pastor Prattles While the Kaiser's Hands Run
 Red With Blood.

Amsterdam, Aug. 7.-Dutch news papers print in parallel columns an account of the murder of the crew of the British steamer Belgian Prince and a Berlin telegram giving the fol- lowing extract from pastoral letter read in all the Protestant churches of Berlin last Sunday:
 we will comport ourselves as Christians toward our enemies and conduct the war in the future as in the past with humanity and chivalry"
