for the day.
AS soon as the bill was called up, Sena-
tor Weeks made objection.
It don't want to block legislation. but
this bill provides in a lump more than 1t
cost to carry on the whole civil war.
Personally. I should like to devote three
or four days to studying the report of the
hearings on it. None of the Senators has
yet been furnished with a copy of these
hearings" said he.
Immediately. Senator Martin moved for
a closed session, hoping that explanation
of the necessities of the bill might ex-
pedite its passage. The Senate remained
closeted with itself for about four hours.
When it opened its doors, Senator Lodge
took the floor.
congressman and Senators have been
called slackers because they have not
rushed through legislation Congress has
never worked so hard" he said. The
newspapers have criticised us for delay
We have passed the seIective draft BILL
the bills for the navy increase. the bill to
take over the German ships, and the spy
bill is now in conference"
I'VE devoted more time to striking out
the censorship provision than to anything
else. And I think the newspapers will
admit the time was well spent inter
jected Senator Hoke Smith.
Yes, and the delay was caused by the
draft of the bill sent down by the admin
istration," resumed Senator Lodge
CriticIses Rush Plan.
After some experience in legislative
matters, l can say that remarkable
amount of work has been done, unusual
and extraordinary work. too. 1t seems to
be the idea that Congresses sole business
is to read a bill and rush it through
don't know how far what 1 am saying
may reach but it should be known that
Congress is not here to rush through
legislation without inspection. Everyone
of us deserves to be removed from his
seat If we pass bills with gigantic ap-
propriatiOns without ever looking at
them. Think of hurrying through great
war revenue bill that takes 81, 500 600 600
from the people,"
Sharp criticism was made of the Ship
ping Board by Senator PoindeXter, who
said people of his Pacific Coast section
had wood and shipyaTds ready. but had
been unable to get the board to do any
thing. He said instead of building wooden
ships, the government had better try to
sink a few German submarines. Then
Senator Fall took up the debate. saying:
Il do not vote on bills, no matter where
they come from, unless I get infOrma ton
about them. No information is given to
Congress. We have had no commpnica-
ton on the consultations between the ad-
ministration and the British and French
missions.

as rubber stamp, but as an intelligent
human being"

May Split Alsace-Lorraine;
Radicals Cry for Republic

journalistic battle royal is raging in
the empire. In the Reichstag, too
stormy echoes of these speeches are
expected to resound in the coming
days.
Late today it seemed as though the
government were about to furnish the
radicals a new powerful weapon in
their now openly avowed campaign
for a Republic of Germany"
Alsace-Lorraine, reports had it, is
shortly to be divided between Prussia
and Bavaria. Promptly there came
from Mr.. Ledebour this ultimatum:

Herald Receives Interesting Letter
Eros E. S. King at ST.
Petersburg, Florida.

The Herald is in receipt of a
letter from E. S. King, of this city,
who, with his wife, is spending the
winter at st. Petersburg, Florida.
They have recently completed their
cottage and have moved from the
city Of st. Petersburg, to the suburbs
and are now located at Big Bayou,
R. F. D. The letter, in part, says:
" s We are about to move to
our cottage, just outside of the ST..
Petersburg limits, located on the
Bay short, where we can gather
stone crabs, oysters and other sea
foods in our front yard; oranges,
grape fruit, tangerines, mangoes and
other fruit in our back yard. 1t is

A WARMING

The absolute secrecy with which
the merchant submarine "Deutsch-
land" and, later, the fighting submar-
inc U-53 made their way into the
Chesapeake and Narragansett Bays,
should serve as note of warning to
the United States.
Whether or not the German Gov
eminent sent this fighting submarine
across for the express purpose of
showing the United States that she
was capable, if she so wished, of run
ming amuck among our shipping, the
instant it ventured beyond the three
mile limit, is matter for conjecture.
But this much is certain, that after
these visits, it will be our own fault
and not Germany's If we fail to real
ize that what she did to merchant
shipping off our coasts, she could just
as easily do to the naval and merchant
shipping within our own dockyards
and harbors.
To. be more explicit, we mean that
if we should get into further contro-
versy with Germany over this U-boat
raiding, and the discussion should
reach the critical phase of an impasse,
it would be an easy matter for Ger
many to repeat the silent entrance
into our harbors, not with solitary
submarines but with fotillas of them,
one for each port, and make a clean
bag of our whole fleet in the Atlantic.
Why not? This would be merely
letting war itself make it's own declar-
alton of war, as the Japanese did in
their surprise destroyer attack at Port
Arthur And if such a raid were
made, say by dozen submarines, the
loss of cur whole first fighting line Of
twenty-one dreadnoughts in the brief
space of fifteen or twenty minutes
would be perfectly reasonable possibil
ity.

MARSHF!ELD

The citizens of Marshfield have
been so pleased with the minstrel
shows that have been put on by the
local EIl1s for seasons past, that when
they heard they were to put on ashow
this year, they insisted upon the show
being presented in Marshfeld. On
Tuesday evening the Marshfeld Bro
theirs held special meeting to con-
fer with representatives from Grand
Rapids and it was arranged to show
the Minstrels at Marshfield at the
Adler Opera House on Monday, ev-

Marshfeld has promised that every
man, woman and dog will plug for the
big show. No doubt a large crowd
of rooters will accompany the cast to
that city.

SEES RELIEF
FROM NEWS
PRINT PRICES

Washington, Jan. A. Newspaper
publishers will be virtually free from
the clutches of news print paper manu-
facturers by the middle of 1918 thru
the establishment of private and CO.
operative paper mills, according to
A. J. Mcintyre of the Newspaper Pub
fishers association today. The cost
of manufacturing news print paper did
not increase in 1916 over 1915 and
cannot, therefore, be forwarded as a
factor in the recent rise in prices ac-
cording to report by the federal
trade commission today.
