British Commission
B1as1es Kitchener For
Dardanel1es B'under

London, March S.-The majority re-
port of the commission appointed last
July to investigate the Dardanelles
purgate certain sections referring to
allied countries. was made public this
morning in its revised form. The
commission reports that the late Lord
Kitchener then war secretary, favored
the project and that when he gave a
decision in the war council 1t was in
variably accepted as final.
The dispatch of troops to the east
was delayed three weeks, the report
says, on an order Of Lord Kitchener,
which was not then communicated to
the then lord of the admiralty, Earl
Churchill.
The commission reports that naval
advisers would have preferred Joint
naval and military attacks, instead of
the attacks by the fleet alone, and de-
clared these views should have been
heard by the war council.
The possibility Of making a surprise
attack by land and water offered such
great military and political advant-
ages, the commission finds, that 1t was
ill-advised to sacrifice this possibility
by deciding hastily to undertake a
purely naval attack, which, from it's
nature, could not attain completely the
object desired.
The subject has been difficult one
on which to reach definite conclusions
as to the responsibility and the amount
OF praise and blame to be assigned.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, March S.-After a de-
bate Of one hour and a half the senate
of the Iowa legislature today defeated
the shotflrers' bill, already beaten in,
the house, requiring coal operators to
employ shotfirers, by q vote Of 20 to
"a. The senate bill was fathered by
Senator Whitmore, Of wapello.
Representatives Of the coal operators
have been making strong fight
against these shotfirer bills ever since
their introduction in the legislature.
tine mine workers union and other
representatives of labor have as stren-
uously fought for the bill, Opponents
OF the bill in the senate today argued
this was a wage agreement matter
which should be- settled by the operat-
ors and miners at their semi-annual
meetings. Senator Price, in champion-
ing the measure, declared that the OPP
orators argued when the matter came
up at the semi meetings the
legislature should settle the question.
The House killed the Caswell bill to
repeal the anti-tipping law. This leaves
the law on the statute books. If the
attorney general enforces all laws, as
he declares he will. this law will be-
come ciYulent.

ishment For Part in Filibuster.
Washington, March s.-The first
official rebuke by the senate to the
"wilful twelve" senators who blocked
President Wilson's plan for placing
the United States under an armed
neutrality" was seen today when the
republicans in private caucus dropped
from their steering committee, Senators
Cummins and Gronna-two Of the OBJ
structionists. ,
The name Of Senator Jones, of
Washington, member of the committee
during the last congress, who fully
discussed the address, consuming
several hours on the final day OF. the
session. and who signed the round
robin under misapprehension" was also
missing from the new committee.
Repudiate Filibustsr.
The action was taken to indicate
that senate republicans wish it plain
ly understood they repudiate all re-
sponsibilty for what they called the
most reprehensive filibuster in the
history Of the senate"
The new democratic steering oom-
imittee is comprised OF some OF the
strongest administration supporters.
Among them are the principal leaders
in the fight for the presidents armed
neutrality measure. Hitchcock was
in charge Of the bill after Senator
Stones sensational revolt and fought
ha M
ing.
The next strongest supporter was
RODinson-also a member Of the COM
mittee.
Hitchcock and Robinson are new
members apparently chosen to re-
ward them for their strenuous effort in
behalf of the administration. as the
committee was enlarged by two men,
bers.
Lodge Not Reelected.
John Sharp Williams and Ollie
James. bulwarks Of the administration;
Martin of the appropriations commit
tee and new democratic floor leader;
Chairman chamberlain or the military
committee and Chairman Simmons OF
the finance committee are also men,
bers.
Senator Smoot is the only member OF
the steering committee reelected.
Cummins and Jones were not re-elect-
ed. Failure Of Lodge of reelection
occasioned some surprise.
The most notable addition to the re-
publican committee Is Senator Borah.
Warren, Harding. Weeks and Wads
worth. the youthful ,senator from New
York, are rated as distinct additions to
the group. Senator Warren is chair
man.

Cloture to Prevent Filibus-
ters Not to be Strongly
Opposed.
BRIEF DEBATE OF
RULE AGREED TO
LaFoIlstts and Gronna May Speak in
opposition- Senator Sherman criti-
cizes President For Forcing Revision
Insists Armed Neutrality Bill Might
Have Passed in Special Session
Without Setting Aside Rules.

Washington, March s.-The cloture
amendment to the senate rules approv-
ed by both democratic and republican
caucauses was taken up by the senate
today under unanimous consent.
Revision Of the senate rules whereby
f1libusters such as that which resulted
in the defeat Of the: armed neutrality
bill will be prevented in the future. it
was generally believed today. soon will
become an accomplished fact.
This belief was based on the action
Of yesterdays caucuses of democratic
and republican senators in approving a
rule under which debate may be limit
ed by q two-thirds vote Of the senate.
A resolution embodying the proposed
rule, prepared by Senator Martin, was
laid before the senate today.
LaFollette Still RebeIIious.
The chances are that the new rule
will be adopted without a prolonged
struggle. This was indicated by the
fact that the rule was endorsed unani-
mously by caucus of forty democrat
ic senators and by 80 to 2 in a caucus
of republicans. The two voting against
the, endorsement were Senators Sher-
man and France.
Senators LaFollette and Gronna fail
ed to attend the republican caucus and
many democrats believed that when
the resolution to change the rules Is
presented they will seize the. opportu-
nifty to make speeches on the armed
neutrality bill
Senator Martin, minority leader, in
asking unanimous consent said that by
SO doing he had no desire to shut of
full debate.
Senator Lodge, republican. said he
hoped there would be no objection.
Sherman criticizss Wilson.
Is Senator Sherman. one Of the two re-
publicans who voted against the rule
|in the party caucus. read q portion OF
the presidents statement which said
At was useless 70 call q special session
to pass the bill3to provide for armed
neutrality, unless the rules were
changed.
"The president" said Senator sher-
man, intends to impress the public
with the thought that the bill can not
be passed without change Of rules.
Theoretically that is not true. in
tend to support the armed neutrality
BILL" he added, .tbut I do object to
making a few senators the object Of
the presidents wrath in a statement
sent out to the public
The congestion Of legislative busi-
ness was not referred to in the state
ment, SenatorsSherman said, and there
was no question in his mind that the
bill would be passed in thirty days if a
special session were called. "The rules
Of the senate are made scapegoat in
this emergency" he said.
