give out any report to anyone that l was disloyal in this war;" he asked.
 NO, did not" Hef1in replied. There was a moments silenceS~ during which Norton continued to glare to Heflin who still was seated.
 Co back on your own side" said the Alabama member.
 "Pll go back when I get ready Norton responded.
 Then Hef1in rose, grasped Norton by the coat lapel and began backing him toward row of seats. Norton the lighter of the two by fifty pounds came back with vigorous push which drove the Alabama's back against seats across the aisle. A moment later an assistant sergeant t-arms and several members pulled the men apart while Sergeant at-arms Gordon hur- ried down the aisle to display his mas sive mace. the historic symbol of au- thority, the mere lifting of which is supposed to quiet the most obstreper- ous.
 Members hocked from both sides Of the house and poured out of cloak rooms toward the scene of action many climbing over benches in their haste. Some laughingly urged that the combat be permitted to continue.
 Representative Johnson of Kentucky in the, chair, pounded frantically with his gavel and shouted for order.
 Representative Hefiin began to wave back republicans who. led by Repre- sentative Cooper of Wisconsin. and Representative Baer of North Dakota were swarming across the dividing aisle to the democratic side.
 "Go on back on your own side or you will get hurt" he cried indicat- ing his willingness to take on atlel opponents.
 Take off your guns and you will have a chance" replied Representa Give Cooper.
 But the hostllities were over. MT. Norton and the other repubHtens withdrew while the Alabama mem ssraigl1tened out his vest and resuu writing. Norton reappeRred on ite floor after few Fsinutes and also ha- gan writing. TFe galleries remainsd full throuehout the reFt of the dtly with visitors vainly hoping for re- sumption of the entertainment. Theus have been various clashes in the house in the past.

MERIT WILL BE SOLE
 BASIS FOR PROMOTION
Of Officers In the National Army and National Guard.

washington, Sept 2s-Merit will be the sole basis for promotion of officers in the national army and national guard, the war department announc- ed today in orders governing promo lions m those organizations for the duration of the war. All officers, in rluding those of the regular army, at tached to the new forces, will be equally eligible for advancement.
 The commanding generals of divf- rfors serving in the United Stetes must submit recommendations as to promotions or appointments to the ad- futa ant-general, but when the forces are serving abroad, they may make temporary appointments or promotions subject to the approval of the depart r1ent Where the division forms part of an army corps, however, the corps commander will make appointments upon recommendation of the division commanders
 Whether at home or abroad, officers rendered surplus by the consolidation of units may be assigned by division commanders to vacancies existing in their grade and arm of the service.
 In making recommendations for second Heutenants, commanding ofH- cers are required to state specifically their opinion as to whether the best interests of the service will be pro- noted by the appointment of a reserve corps officer or of member of the organization, thus paving the way for promotion of men from the ranks.
 Vacancies in grades above second lieutenant and below lieutenant col one1 fin any regiment or separate unit will be flfed as far as practicable by the promotion of officers selected from the next lower grade in the regiment or separate unit in which the vacan- cy occurs.

WHY GERMANY REFUSES
 TO STATE HER WAR AIMS
Chancellor Says 1t Would Injure
 German Interests.

Amsterdam, Sept. 28. JustifyinS Germany's refusal to state her war aims, sDr. Michaelis said today that such action would only have a con- fusing effect and would injure Ger man interests. The chancellor said the announced American military exer- tions were awaited by Germany with calm confidence.
 Wera Germany to state her war aims the chancellor asserted, 1t would prejudice the complex questions to be discussed at the time of peace nego- tiations.
 The chancellor strongly attacked President Wilson's reply to the pope, which, he asserted, merely bound the German people together more firmly.
 Dr. Michaelis dwelt upon 'the satis- factory state Of our relations with the neutra1s," which could not be dis turbed, he said, even by the unprece- dented exertions of the hostile press.
 We greatly deplore," he continu- ed. "the sufferings caused to the neu- tra1s by our enemies economic war and we are always prepared to assume a share in the provisioning of the nell trals.
 "The economic and financial diff1- cl1lties of France are fast increasing. Still more keenly felt is the economic distress in Italy, with it's internal po- litical concomitants. Tn England all so the war is exercising its certain, memorable effect. The deceptive hope of dissension amongst us causes the leading British statesmen to continue to adhere to their war aims or at least to proclaim such aims as are entirely incompatible with the political. econ omical and vital needs of Germany"

GERMANY TO PENSION
 GENERAL VON DEIMLrNG
He Is to Be Held Responsible For
 Failure at Nerdun.

Amsterdam. Sept 2s.-Lieutenant General Bertho1d Won Deim1ing, form CT military commander at Zabern, AL sace, will be pensioned, according to the Berlin M11itar Wochenb1att, which adds that 1t is believed he will be made responsible for the failure of the German troops before Verdun, where, in 1916, he commanded the 18th Germany army corps.
 General Won Deimlfng was military commander at Zabern in 1913 when the historic outbreak between the pop- ulace and the military occurred. This trouble resulted from an attack with his sword by a German officer on a cripple shoemaklr. which the populace resented and which led to violent fighting between the townspeop1e and the military.
 On the eve of the verdun battle early in 1916, Won Deimling published the following order to his troops:
 'In the course of the last offensive against the French I hope that the 18th army corps will distinguish it. self as it has done in the past"

Washington, Sept. 2S-Iot debate, culminating in a physical encounter between Representatives Heflin of AL sbama and Norton of North Dakota. was precipitated in the house today by a report from the rules committee that it had decided not to act on any of the various resolutions for an in quiry into whether members of con- gross have been influenced by German money.
 At adjournment tonight the two belligerentS were clamoring for an op- portunfty to address the house and other members who want an inquiry were striving to have one ordered in spite of the committees report. Dis cusSion will be resumed tomorrow with demands from both sides of the house for investigation of MT. Hefiin's charges that several members have not acted Loyalty.
 Chairman Pou explained in submit ting the rules committee report that an inquiry would interfere with sweeping investigation of the use of German money now being made by the. department of justice. He said Rep resentative Heflin had not reflected on the integrity of any member of the debate. Some loud groans greeted the latter statement. Representative Britten of Illinois, who had been crit icized by MT. Hef1in for introducing T resolution to expel Hef1in for intro ducing a measure of exempt German Americans from military service, shouted that resolution to expel lief lin should be considered immediately
 In the midst of the storm Repre- sentative Steenerson of Minnesota switched the discussion to other busi- ness and thenceforth. save for the few minutes in which Hef1in and Norton had their encounter, the subject was not preached until just before ad- journment.
 The clash started during a lul in the proceedings < fsEf Norton ,lad been refused time tq rsply to reTsorts that Hef1f had ssi6fsthaSS4ke WAL unloyas, It came most unexpectedly to the fifty or more members present.
 After failing to get the floor, Nor ton went through the republican side to the back of the house and walked down the democratic side until he faced Hef1in, who was seated at a ta- hle writing. Neither man greeted the other, but after gazing steadily at Hef1in for a moment, Norton spoke:

 T abhor Germany. I abhor the Hun without our gates, but more ab- hor the Hun within our gates. And I say that any man who excuses and condones such infemy, and his 'shad- ow Huns,' Gronna and Lundeen, do not the America people. They are on a level with Vallandinghan, whom Lincoln sent beyond the Con- federate lines. I wish I could send them as a free gift to the kaiser. La Toilette is out of place in the senate"

lently. His latest attempt has been in the Forest of the Argonne. where three times he threw his troops against the Frenchmen. As on the Chemin des Danes and before Verdun, where similar assaults recently have been
 made, the effort of the Germans was fruitless and brought to them only additional heavy casualties.
 Comparative quiet prevails on all the other battle fronts, although there has been a resumption by the Rus sians of their activities in the Cau- casus, where at several points Otto- man forces have been defeated.
 The British controller of shipping announces that the losses of British ships since last February have ap- proximately equa1led the total losses in the war before that period and that it is reasonable to expect the enemy will destroy with U-boats 200 vessels in excess of the tonnage that can be built by next spring. He says there is urgent need for the United States to undertake merchant ship building on a broad scale, as otherwise it will be impossible to send substantial force of soldiers to France next spring with out seriously affecting the tonnage re- qIired for the carrying of food to F1ance,- Italy and Great Britain.
