fore convening for decision at noon

ing it's decision in the Adamson eight

The railway commission, through
Governor Frazier's veto of the item
of $4,000 provided for the salary of

left without rate expert. The rail
commission is the only one of the sew

which is subjected to deep cut. Rate
Expert Little, with Commissioner

the powers that be by pointing out
some of the dangers of Representa-

head of Secretary Walter F. Gushing

Washington, March 19.---New and
aggressive action to protect American
shipping against German submarines
appears certain as result of yester-
days sinking of three unarmed Amer

Of American lives.
Calling of congress in extra session
before April Is loomed as the strong
est probability although President
Wilson was understood to have other
courses under consideration.
Fight Submarines.
With American ships already being
armed, the most probable step would
be an active campaign to clear sub
marines out Of the shipping lanes.
There appeared to be no plan to have
the United States enter the war in
the sense that the European nations
have entered it. The fact that some
American ships are on the other side
of the ocean, unarmed is a factor in
are ineffective against submarines,
the problem for the government is to
get small submarine chasers.

BAA|SHED DUKES !. !. !.
|M0RGANAT|C WIFE |
MAY Be: CzAR|NA
Michael's Regency Recalls Army
Scandal of Years Ago and
Flight to England

New York, March 19.-Russia's rev.
olutionary coup places in power a
brother of the czar who preferred the
woman of his choice to recognition
by royalty, and so was virtually ban
ished from court circles.
Grand Duke Michael married in
1910 the divorced wife of fellow
officer in his regiment Of cuirassiers.
For this he was banished from the
cars circles, and took up his resi-
dence in England, with his wife, born
Countess Natalie Systematically,
who had first married Capt. Won
WOulfert.
One story is that Capt. Won Woul-
fert married the Countess Natalia
merely to please the czar, and take
her out of the life of Grand Duke
Michael This was displeasing to
Michael, who claimed fatherhood Of
two children born to Natalia. He
made the young beauty his wife soon
after her divorce. He was then 80,
she 81.
After Natalia married Won Woul-
fert according to Russian gossip here,
the grand duke in pique turned to the
daughter of wealthy Ukrainian
landowner; but she left the country
at the instance of the cZar, so Mich
ael returned to his first love.
When war broke out, Michael offer
ed his sword in Russia's defense, and
fastened from his English home to
join the army. He is one of the three
outstanding heroes Of the Russian
populace that the war has produced,
the others being Grand Duke Nicholas
and General Brussiloff.
The czar conferred the title Of
Counties de Brassow on the morgan
attic wife of the grand duke after his
return to war, and while Michael led
his soldiers at the front she remain
ed with her children in England knit
ting mittens for British soldiers.
Michael, as regent for. the, care
witch, Alexis, may yet become cZar,
for the young heir to the throne is be-
lieved to have an incurable disease.
In that case Countess Natalia un-
doubtedly will become czarina of all
the Russias-for the manner in which
the grand duke, now regent, has
stuck to her through demotion and
disgrace leads to the belief he will
wipe the institution of "morganatic"
marriage off the books in Russia.
1t is suggestive sidelight on the
state of mind and morals in the re-
cent Russian court that the ignominy
heaped on Grand Duke Michael was
not because he claimed he is the faith
er of Countess Natalia's children, but
because he evidently gave her his
name as we'll as his heart.

WAR SUMMARY
ASSOCIATED Press)

The greatest military movement on
the Franco-B Belgian front since the
battle of the Marne is still in full
swing, with the Germans in retreat on
a front of nearly 100 miles. French
territory approximating $40 square
miles has been abandoned.
The retirement of Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg's western armies has
already virtually resulted in the
Strengthening out of the famous Ar
ras and Noyon salients and apparent
ly the retrograde movement is still IN
progress.
Should the expectation of many mil
itary observers who have been watch
ing the operations be realized. the re-
treat will not stop short Of the pow
erfully fortified line, running from
Lille to Laton, through the strong de-
fensive position of Chambrai and st.

GREAT REJOICING OVER

\uuACU AICSS yuan OUAICSpCuVCuts)
London, March 19.--The greatest
occupancy Of territory by belliger-
ent since the German sweep toward
Marne accomplished by the British
near Bapaume gladdened England to-
day. The Allies forced the German
line to give way. Nearly 500 square
miles between the Arras sector and
the Disc have been added to the AL
lies holdings. Although there was
general rejoicing over the success to-
day. the Allies push experts were
inclined to put the soft pedal on pop
ular tendency toward over enthusi-
asm.
One hundred towns and villages
were occupied by the French troops
during three days advance on the
western front, 1t was officially an
nounced today.
The German retreat 13 miles from
Chaulnes to the Disc is in progress.
1t is of an entirely different character
than the German retreat north Of the
Somme. Today the French troops are
comparing the German retreat with
the retirement OH the Marne. Only
machine gun and bicycle squads were
left behind by the enemy to cover up
the retreat. Many Of these have been
captured.
Never were women made happier
than those of England today as the
men pressed forward boring in to
make the greatest gain any army has
achieved in two years fighting on the
western front. The speed of the Brit
ish push is best illustrated by the
fact that at several points the Brit
ish had their long sought opportun-
ity of going into action. Poisoning
was discovered In several wells by the
British army surgeons along the Ger-
man retirement.
