BRYAN MAY TESTIFY
 IN LAF0LLETTE CASE
Inquiry to Open Monday and
 U-BoatS May Figure

Washington, Nov. 24.-1ssues in- Volved in the early controversy be- tween Germany and the United States over the submarine outrages will be brought to the fore at the re-openinG of the senate inquiry Monday into charges against Senator Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, accused of making a disloyal speech at St. Paul. The subject will be injected into the hearing because of an alleged remark made by Senator La Toilette that Will liam J. Bryan, while Secretary of State, had informed him that he had personally told President Wilson that the sailing of passengers upon ship carrying munitions was contrary to law.
 Soon after the senator's St. Paul speech, MT. Bryan denied that he had made any such statement and the hearing. therefore, will impugn the Veracity of Senator La Toilette if MT. Bryan, under oath, repeats his prev ious denial. Br. Bryan has expressed a willingness to appear and deny tho assertion, which constitutes one of the crucial points in the La Toilette speech.
 Senator La Toilette will cross-eN- anime the witnesses, and the testi money of the ex-secretary may pro duce hot exchange. Since the United States entered the war. Mir. Bryan has changed front, and has declared in favor of vigorous war as the only means to peace Senator La Toilette is expected to demand that the state department produce all the documents bearing on the Lusi- tania case. Whether the department will comply is doubtful, as it probably incompatible with the public in terest."
 The particular portion of Senator will appear to deny, as quoted in the senate document purporting to contain a report of the St. Paul speech is this:
 "Ah! But somebody will tell you American rights are involved What venturesome person to ride upon a munition-laden vessel in violation of an American statute that no vessel which carries explosives shall carry passengers. Four days before the Lusitania sailed President Wilson was warned in person by Secretary Bryan that the Lusitania had 6,0OO,O0O rounds of ammunition on board be- sides explosives, and that the pas- sengers who proposed to sail on that vessel were sailing in violation of statute of this country, that no pas sengers shall travel on a railroad train o,. sail upon a vessel which carries danperous explosives. And MT Bryan appealed to President Wilson to stop

"Hello, lrlsh," Case Being Heard
 In New Haven City Court

New Haven-"Hello Irish" said Sarah Mersky cheerily to Policeman James F. Condon and now her mother faces the jury in the criminal side of the court of common pleas, presided
 over by Judge Wolfe.
 The slip of girl went on the stand
 as witness in the trial of the charges
 of resisting an officer lodged against Mrs. Mersky.
 Questioned by Attorney Schlein, the
 witness said, that Oct 29. she and
 mother were walking west on Grand avenue, and as Officer Condon passed the witness called out, Hello. Irish"
 and she repeated this before the jury in a cheerN sort of way The policeman asked her what she
 had said. and she repeated it. Then the policeman placed her under arrest. Condon told her mother that the girl i hadn't stolen anything. Mrs Mersky couldn't see why the officer should take the girl under his arm, and she sra bbed the other arm aud pulled the girl away. Then Policeman Lillies came along and told Condon to let the two women march ahead of them. Condon didn't tell witness why he ar l rested her. The girl further said, that her mother didn't lay a hand on the policeman nor tear any buttons off his clothes.
 Sarah said she called: Hello, Irish' because other policemen who had been
 in their store at 844 Grand avenue, had called to them: Hello, Jew", and
 in turn every policeman was saluted
 with :Hello, Irish"

Bristol Young Man With Per-
 shing, Dies in France

Washington, Nov. 24-Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the War Department, Secretary Baker said last night in the first statement he ever authorized in connection with the progress being made in increasing General Pershings forces.
 MT. Baker declined, however, to state the number of troops forwarded or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of the forces, he said, depended on two elements. the training and equipment of the men and the availability of ships.
 "As fast as they are ready, ships and men will be combined" the sec- retary said. "As many American troops are now overseas as we expect ed in the beginning to have overseas at this time."
 MT. Baker indicated that an off, cial statement of the number of American troops in France was not to be expected at any time during the war. He caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor. Ma jor Gen. Mcintyre, however, which may result in more liberal regulations as to publication of the designations of regiments, brigades, or companies which are engaged in action on the front from time to time. If there was no sound military reason for suppress sing that information, MT. Baker said, he desired to give it out.
 The secretary's attention was called to the fact that the British official statements recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives Ap- parently new policy in this regard has been adopted in London, and the War Department may do likewise
 Two more men of the American force in France have died from na- tural causes, General Pershing today notified the War Department. They are:
 Private James H. Hinchey, Medi- cal department, attached infantry died Nov Is of spinal meningitis emergency address, w. J. Madden Bristol. Conn.

Fewer Cases of Sickness During
 the Week Ending Nov. 16

Washington, Nov. 24.-Notwith- standing the fact that there were ninety-six deaths in the various army camps throughout the country during the week ended Nov. 16, the general health of the army was better than during the week before, according to the report of the surgeon general.
 Pneumonia was epidemic in some of the Southern camps, and there are many cases of measles. The latter ailment appears to be most preva- lent in Southern camps where are Quartered soldiers coming from rural districts, who the army surgeons say did not have communicable diseases in their childhood because they lived

 II am giving you some history that maybe has not come to you hereto fore-the greviances that carried this country into the war, into a war the results of which, as to the loss of life and burdens, financial burdens, that shall he laid upon us cannot be calculated by any mind. I say that the conditions which carried us into the war needed to be weighed care- fully, for l annunciate no new doc- urine but the doctrine of Daniel Webster, who said that when the Mexican war was on that it was the right of the people of this country to determine for themselves whether theres had been a sufficient grievance of the people to incur all the burdens and risks that go With a war of this kind"
 Before the last congress adjourned there was a disposition to permit the charges against Senator La Toilette to drop after a few perfunctory hear ings. Since then the temper of the country has been found to favor q thorough sitting of the rharges. and dNNClOpm CntS in Wisconsin. where a senator is to bc elected to succeed senator Hustings killed in a shoot ing accident, has placed a new aspect on the situation. If carried to their logical conclusion the hearings, it is argued, will make for good in their deterrent effect upon pro-Germans Also, it is contended. they may have a decided effect upon the Wisconsin senatorial election by aiding in the choice of an out-and- out American to the vacant seat

is BITTERLY ATTACKED
Minister of Interior Charged With
Laxity in Food Organization
and Other Affairs.
by CAESAR BRENDA.
CabIegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1917.

ROME, September 14.-Violent at
tacks upon the minister of the interior.
Vittorio Orlando, have been made. The
minister is charged with not being suf-
ficiently energetic in his administration
of the countrys internal Affairs and
especially with lack of initiative in the
matter of food organization. 1t is
feared that these attacks may give So
cialists and Giolitti tendencies a chance
to cause discomfort among the people.
but so far the socialistic movement has
been confined to one city.
Signor Bissolati, minister without
portfolio, in a speech made at the pres
entation of flag give nto disabled war
heroes recently. proclaimed complete
confidence in national concord until a
victorious peace has been attained.
Let me raise my voice here, he said,
''to tell you that the Italian people are
firmly resolved to reject the suggestion
of the withdrawal of the country in
this hour of the struggle, annulling the
results of the sacrifices accomplished,
destroying the fruits Of the magnificent
victories won and dtshonoring itself
before the world for all the centuries.
We swear by you, by our dead. by all
who lay this oath the seal of their
lives and by our flag, thatthis shall
never be-
These words, pronounced not only by
cabinet minister of Italy but by a
sincere democrat deeply acquainted
with the soul of Italy and a fervent
patriot are completely reassuring.
