The fish is broad and fat, about one
half inch thick, and the bundle is

Plans Moratorium
For u. S. Soldiers
Legislation Proposed by
Crowder to Get Admins
tration's Support

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Legisla-
! ton TO protect the civil and property
rights of soldiers and sailors, in effect
/ moratorium for the duration Of the
I war in behalf Of men who are serving
their country on the firing line, may be
placed upon the Administrators pro-
| gramme for this session Of Congress
as a necessary element of the raising
/ Of citizen army.
The Soldiers and sailors civil rights
! bill" to carry out this purpose already
/ has been introduced in both houses,
having been framed in the Office Of
| Judge Advocate General Crowder. Sec
retary Baker, it was learned to-day,
! has under consideration recommenda-
| tions that the entire weight of Admin
istration influence be brought to bear
20 obtain early enactment of the meas
ure.
To save soldiers and sailors from all
kinds of legal injustices during their
absence from home, the measure would
enjoin the carrying out Of certain civil
court actions until after the close OF
the war, and establish as a legal excuse
for failure to carry out certain con-
tracts the fact that man is in the
military service.
II is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men may be held up
and Judgment by default denied, the
I It ka a q
man In the army or navy would have
no opportunity to make his defence in
person or to arrange for its proper
| hearing through counsel.
II such q judgment rested against
man at the time of his enlistment the
| bill would prevent its execution through
| the sale of his property during his alb
sence. IL would set aside the statute OF
| limitations so that a debt owed TO a SOL
/ dier might not be outlawed in his alb
sence. IL would prevent the eviction OF
/ his family while he was away If they
failed to pay the rent; it would protect
! his equity in any real estate or other
| purchase contract in which he might
| have been engaged at the time he went
| into the army; it would protect HIM
/ against the ordinary results Of default
/ ed payments on business mortgages and
/ keep him from being sold out in his alb
cense; it would insure any rights he
might have TO public lands, although
mis- service at the front had prevented
him from completing the legal acquisl-
tion of the property.
Another element of protection The
bill would accord to the fighting man
would be as to his life insurance, which
could not lapse through failure to make
any payment. His property also would
be protected from sale for taxes, and IN
every other way which the legal ex-
perts of the War Department have been
able TO devise all civil rights and inter
ests Of men in the military service
would be safeguarded.

Hurley of the Shipping Board will
leave for San Francisco within few
DAYS in an effort to settle the West
Coast wards strike, if representatives
of the Shipping Board and Department
of Labor fail to effect an agreement be
tween the shipbuilders and the 10000
workers now on strike. The strikes IN
the San Francisco and Seattle yards,
according to Chairman Hurley, are mold
ing I'D about - per cent of the Emer-

Chairman Hurley to-day continued
conferences with Seattle and Portland

to reach a basis for settling the entire
Pacific Coast labor problem. Hurley
stated that If an agreement could be
reached IN the Seattle and Portland
situations he believed an early adjust

be reached.
Following a conference to-day be-

Very Disquieting Advices
Alleged to Have Been Re-

Especial Correspondencel


CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-"The Chi
cago Tribune" tomorrow morning
wW print the following dispatch
from its Washington correspondent :
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-While Of
ficials here were sounding to-day the
praises Of Kerensky for proclaiming
a republican form of government at
Petrogrsd, there reached Washington
the most disheartening intelligence
since the United States became a bel
ligerent.
Russia, according to an official re-
port, is not unlikely to conclude a sep
arate peace with Germany and quit
the war, selling TO Germany all mil
itary supplies, as well as foodstufs and
raw materials.
The Petrograd government. though 1t
has triumphed over the Korniiof in
surrection, is now in the throes Of an
even mightier struggle. the outcome OF
which will be of vital consequence not
only to republican Russia but to the
United States ard the Allies.
The Maximalsts have triumphed
over the Constitutional Democrats and
the conservative element of the Coun-
ell of Workmen's and Soldiers Depu-
ties in several tests Of power in the
last few days, and now threaten to
dominate the entire government. These
triumphant radicals are either psci-
fistic or pro-German and have long
beeen advocating a separate peace with
Germany.

Swedish Foreign Office was not IN

had forwarded cipher kilograms IN
ignorance Of their contents, which con-
+or.s when revealed awoke the just
abborrence Of all Swedes, and that
such careless acts could happen.

Hialmar Branting, the Swedish So
ciaIist leader, was the chief speaker
at n meeting, which was attended by
1000 Socialists. At the conclusion of
the addresses the following resolution
was passed:
Events Of the last few days show
how the leading circles Of Germany
ruthlessly have misused the careless
confidence Of the two Swedish Con-
seryative governments which directed
the policy OF Sweden during the war
period.
This meeting, therefore, emphasizes
the determination TO maintain a correct
neutral attitude, which is felt by all
the Swedish people. We realize with
indignation and humiliation that 0ur
good name has been jeopard!zed by The
conduct Of few men. Obviously, the
nations fortunes cannot continue IN
the hands OF these few men, who favor
such systemsqend methods"
