Is Maintaining Silence.

Copenhagen, July Chancellor Mtchaelis, as Danish editor remark ed, is preserving the silence of q sphinx on the German peace program and the questions of internal reform, but the Liberal press and politicians in Germany manifest an increasing apprehension that when the sphinx finally breaks silence he will speak with a decided pro-German accent.
 Herr Michaelis' putting forward of Field Marshal von Hinderburg and General Ludendorff to discuss Ger man peace conditions with members of the reichstag. his failure to consult parliamentary leaders on prospective new appointments to the imperial Prussian cabinet, his antecedents, previous environments and the open- ly avowed satisfaction of the Con- servative national Liberal party men with the change in chancellors, con- tribute to the marked uneasy feeling in Liberal and Socialist circles on what the chancellor's maiden speech Thursday will show.
 The speech Is not expected to 70 exhaustively into questions of reform or peace as the time is too short for Chancellor Michaelis to elaborate . definite program. The Socialist agency reports that in all probability he will ask six weeks grace to in- from himself and work out detailed policy.
 The clerical and radical organs i1i- sist they will have . big majority. al- though they evidently arc counting on some decidedly uncertain votes. They fear, however, Chancellor Mich- aelis will refuse to accept 1t as . basis of his policy.
 Vorwaerts, the Socialist newspaper, warns Herr Michaelis of the cangeN of temporizing on either question. It says the crisis. perhaps. fs not over and may redevelop after shott pause. It is even conceivable that the next manifestation may not p&aa with the complete order charactor- izing the last.

Another Demonstration.

Petrograd, July 18.-Another mani festation of armed sailors and soldiers and workingmen and women, in which shots were fired, took place along the Nevsky Prospect yesterday. The ex- tent of the casualties is unknown.
 Yesterdays disturbances were a repetition of those of the day before, except that they occurred at o'clock in the afternoon, whereas the first outbreak occurred around midnight The manifestants were grouped along the same part of the Nevsky Prospect. lowed by the firing of rifles against upper windows and roof tops at a seemingly imaginary foe.
 For the first time since the revolu- tion Cossacks appeared and patrolled the streets. Companies here and there carried machine guns strapped to their saddles, the men leading their horses.
 The council of the new body of sol- diers, workmen and peasants of all Russia and the extremists abstaining from participation, passed a reso- lution today after an all-night session, rejecting "with indignation all at tempts, to influence" the attitude of that body.
 "It is inadmissible," continues the resolution, "that armed demonstra- tions should seek to impose the will of isolated military attempts upon the whole of Russia.

City Reported Quiet.


 Petrograd, July 1S.-Following the series of clashes between patrollng forces of the government and Maximi- lists, which occurred last night, the city this morning was quiet under d continuous downpour of rain. s Yesterdays casualties. so far as ascertained, comprised six persons killed and 23S wounded. Most of those killed yesterday were in sight of the Nadezendenskaia, when the Moscow Volsheviki troops opened fire on un- armed posses passing in the Nevsky rProspekt. Their own firing started a panic, in which five of their number were killed and 20 wounded.
 The Maximilists have asked for more help from Kronstadt. most of the home last night. It was rumored to- day that second influx of Kronstadt sailors might be expected before night.
 The St. Peter and St. Paul fortress, although commanded by Maximilist, apparently is not in full sympathy with the insurrectionists. The garri- son at the fortress refused the de- mands of a machine gun contingent of the Maximilists to give them arms.
 Minister Is Arrested.
 M. Tchernoff, minister of agricul- ture, was arrested at the duma by a Maximilist, who started to take him away in an automobile as a hostage, as he was delivering an address from the steps of the building. The min- ister was roughly handled by the h,1+ h hniy to1 f,., the grounds he was recognized by Crotzay, one of the agitator Lenie's lieutenants, who protested and harangued the minister's captors and secured his release.
 The taking into custody of M. Tcher- noff is accounted for by yesterdays rumor concerning the arrest of M Tcheidca, president of the central executive committee of the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates.

German Imperial Chancel- Tor Maintains Quiet While
 Preparing Speech.
OFFICIALS ARE
 STILL UNCERTAIN
Liberal and Socialist Circles Extreme. Iy Uneasy, Owing to Failure of New Chancellor to Discuss Matters
 With Reichstag Leaders.

With intense interest diverted for the moment from the fighting fronts, where there has been a noticeable slackening in hostilities, attention is focused on the converting Thursday afternoon of the German reichstag.
 At the opening session will be heard the first utterances of the new imperial chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, concerning his stand on the war utterances that naturally will be mo- mentous, inasmuch as they will indi- cate whether, with the recent changes in the German government, Germany will continue her warfare without abatement or whether the desires for peace that have been urged SO often in Germany. and especially In the reichstag, are anything but empty ex- pressions. ..iA
 Officials Still Uncertain.
 Berne, Switzerland, July 17.--Pri- vate Berlin dispatches state that the speech to the relchstag which Dr. George Michaelis, the new chancellor. is preparing, will be delivered at , o'clock Thursday afternoon.
 It is reported that German parliA- mentary circles are still uncertain re- garding his attitude.
 Will Be For Peace.
 Basel, Switzerland, July 18.-The Neustes Nachrichten of Munich says that the declaration of the new Ger man chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, before the reichstag tomorrow will be for peace, having the same general trend as the resolution prepared by the parties of the Left.
 The resolution referred to probably is the one drawn up by the Radical, Socialist and Catholic deputies in the reichstag before the resignation of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. This res- olution, which the majority decided to introduce unchanged upon the re- assembling of the parliament, stated that the reichstag was laboring for peace and reconciliation, that forced acquisitions of territory and political. economic and financial violations were incompatible with such a peace, that economic peace must be assured and that the reichstag would promote the creation of an international juri- dica1 Orpanizafinn

We wish to give Christmas party
for our bunch. Please tell us some

please tell Us some inexpensive re-
freshmeRts to serve excepting cocoa
and waters, as we have served them
until we are tired of them. We work
every day and go to school at night
and so please don't make it very ex-
pensiye. There are about twenty in
the bunch NJ. b. BIS.
You can find a book at the library
which will suggest many delightful
games. You would find it fun to have
gifts from every person at your party
to every other person. The gifts
should be cutoff trinkets or garments
or any old thing that is absolutely
worn out and useless.
Serve red ,gelatine and waters. The
color is appropriate, and practically
everyone likes gelatine Another
good thing is baked apples with red
cinnamon candies cooked in with the
apples. The candy makes them q

favor.
