UNCLE SAM ON GUARD

In case of trouble, we should prob.
ably discover that Germany Is pre-
pared to do some mischief right here
at home. says the Tonopah Times. The
secret service for months has been
watching the operations of 10000 Ger.
man. Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish
agents in this country. For many
months German secret agents, Wash
ington declares, have been exerting
every effort TO gain confidential infor.
nation concerning the navy, the forti.
flcations guarding the principal Amer.
lean ports, and the Panama canal
German surveying parties" have been
detected at work along the rout of the
Panama canal. German agents in this
country have been keeping on file ever
since the outbreak of the war list
of Germans in the United States who
could be relied on to serve the Father
land in the event of German-Ameri
can break. One of these lists, or
which appeared the names of more
than 1000 German subjects. is in the
hands of the government.

part OF the Duma in government af-
fairs. This led to the dissolution OF
the first Russian parliament
The second Duma was convened
early in 1907. The government did
it's best to secure large number OF
reactionaries in il. But the great
majority of the new deputies were
still too progressive for Stolypin.
Clashes between the Duma and the
premier soon followed. The govern
ment arrested number of deputies
and exiled them to Siberia The
Duma was then dissolved.
This Duma made an unsuccessful
attempt at a revolution. More than
a hundred deputies left Petrograd for
Finland. There an appeal was issued
to the nation to stand up for the
Duma. The appeal. however. met
with little response. The people were
entirely under the control of the mill
tary and the government.
A new election law was then pro-
mulgated by Premier StolypIn. This
law barred most of the people from
participation in the elections. The
third Duma was then assembled and
the government found a majority of
conservatives in it. These conserva-
tiyes We're satisfied to let things alone.
At the expiration of its term in 1912
fourth Duma, the present body, was
Hn .
tirely controlled by the conservatives.
The war, however. has made these
conservatives progressives.
The Taurida Palace, the house
where the Russia Duma meets, and
has become the birthplace of the new
provisional government, is one of the
most interesting structures in Rus
STA. On its site more than a century
and a quarter ago stood the house OF
Prince Potemkin, the favorjte OF Cath
arine the Great. The generous EN-
press showered presents upon Potem
kin after his conquest OF Crimea fol-
Russia. In 1888 she ordered a mag
| nifcent palace erected for her favor
lite on the site OF his house. Thi!
was called Taurida. the Russian
equivalent of Crimea.
Later the empress bought the pal
ace from Potemkin for 46O,OO rubles
But when the latter returned in 1871
as victor from another campaign
he again received the palace for 1
present. On the night of Februar!
% of that year ball was given there
in honor of Catharinc which is re
membered in Russian history as 1
unique event. One hundred and forty
thousand lamps and 10000 candles
were used for lighting purposes that
night. .
After the death of Potemkin the
Taurida Palace was again acquired
by the car.

DUMAS LONG LIBERTY

NEW YORK, March 22.-The strug-

have at last succeeded.
The first parliament was direct
outcome Of the revolution of 1905,
which followed the war with Japan.
The car found himself confronted
with an almost solid body of Liberals.
The Duma of 1905. the most radical
of all, insisted upon the cars living
up to the promises of his manifesto
granting freedom to Russia. But the
cars premier, Stolypin, would not
countenance any interference on the

STATE OF WAR EXISTS

With the dissolution of the cloud
that had gathered on our industrial
horizon the people now may turn
again to the gathering cloud that
threatens to enyelop the United States
in the tempest beyond the seas. The
international crisis, it must be recog-
nized, has reached point that is only
a little short of actual war
In the press reports sent Sunday
night from Washington, after receipt
of information that three more ships
flying the Stars and Stripes had been
sunk by submarines, is this explicit
statement: eft was officially admitted
here tonight that virtually state OF
war exists between the United States
and Germany"
This declaration substantiates a be
lief that has been fixed in the public
mind from the hour diplomatic rela
tons with Germany were severed; II
does not mean, however, that wal
actually has begun; the distinction is
very delicate and hangs on a very
slender thread.
1t is within the province of the
president to conclude, on unmistak
able evidences of which the whole
country has knowledge, that stat,
of war exists, and this is the presen
status. But the constitution vests il
| congress the power to determine wha
shall be casus belli and to declar,
war; this responsibility will rest upol
congress when it convenes April
in extraordinary session.

TENANTS ARE EVICTED ON
SHORT NOTICE WHEN U. S.
TAKES OVER APARTMENTS

The fact that the United States is
at war was vividly brought home to-
day to several hundred Washington
families when they were practically
evicted from the apartments they
have occupied, some OF them for
years. The problem Of finding Of
fees for the scores OF new Govern
ment departments that have been
created by the war emergency has
severely taxed the Government, and
1t has solved It by Communicating
numerous big apartment buildings.
Tenants were given short notice to
vacate and long-term leases availed
them not. The Government wanted
the space and the Government got 1t.
Real estate mer are frankly "up
in the air" over the situation. De-
spite extensive building operations
the Capital cannot properly house the
great war family that has gathered
here since spring. It is months since
one could be even reasonably sure
OF finding adequate hotel accommo-
dations, and now II is not only i'm
possible to find apartments, but those
who comforted themselves with the
knowledge that they held leases find
themselves forced to scurry about,
and take what accommodations they
can find, however, unsatisfactory.
when there are ten applicants for
every apartment what can we do?"
said a prominent real estate man to-
day. I'VE are not trying to gouge
the public, but we simply haven't got
the space, and when the Government
demands the buildings that we have,
there is nothing for us TO do but COM
ply gracefully"

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Au opposi-
tion by Mayor Mitchell to the candi-
dacy OF William NJ. Bennett on the
Republican mayoralty ticket was
dropped today, when Mitchell and
Bennett appeared before Justice Con
In the supreme court and asked for
an order declaring Bennett the nomi-
nee. Mitchell said he would take no
further steps to claim the Republican
nomination in the primary election.
1t was announced, however. that
Mitchell would run as a fusion candi-
date. In a statement issued today he
said he would run to keep the city
out OF the grip Of Murphy and Tam
many Hall, and clean Of enemy in
huences"
There were reports that efforts
had been made to induce both men to
withdraw in favor of a compromise
candidate. but 1t was not expected this
would be considered. Friends of the
mayor have started the circulation
OF petitions which will make him the
fusion candidate. Completion of the
recount gives Bennett a lead Of GIL
in the primaries.
