HELM MADE GOOD SPEECH

When Mr.. Mason, in his speech, re-
ferred to this matter. Mr.. Heflin noted
that fact with intention TO explain on
the floor In the excitement of the de-
bate, however, he forgot it. Despite that
omission, however, the Alabama member
delivered capital address, and ended Of
ficially, it is believed, the long drawn out
controversy with which Congress and the
country are admittedly tired.
Mr.. Mason delivered an address of mas
terful ridicule lasting 81 minutes. lie
again questioned Mr. Heflin's valor and
again charged that he was professional
rather than true-bIue patriot, and that
he was ignorant. He referred to Mr. Hef-
Inns statement that while he had no
newspapers he had the ear of the people
OF Alabama, and exclaimee that if that
statement was true the people who had
commissioned Morgan and Pettus had
better very quickly regain possession of
their ear

HEFLIN'S RETORT

Mr.. Heflin in a retort Of. IS min
utes went after Mr.. Mason without
gloves. Out of the Mason speech which
he had criticized he, drew an indict0
,ment of IA counts and charged that
the Illinois representative by each of
them was convicted of dsloyalty. lie
defied any republican or any Illinois
member other than Mason to subscribe
to the statements made by Mr.. Mason
in his speech. Ope of the counts was

that he might have shot at a negro
and hit white man. but that he was

BOASTS OF ANCESTORS

Mr.. Mason declared that in all wars
of the country his ancestors had taken
part, but that in none of them had
the ancestors of Mr.. Heflin partici
pated He charged that the President
has declined Heflins services for fear
that while shooting at Germany the
Aiabamian would hit Japan, a play on

line shot at a Washington negro and

CENTER OLE ATTACK

In centering his attack on Mr. Heflin's
ranked campaign letter he declared that
he had been informed that in prepare.
ton for his race against BanShead, he
had had pictures of himself made with
one arm around the neck of Uncle Sam
and the other in the pockets of Uncle
Sam.
Mr. Mason further referred to Hef.
Inns charge that IA members were dsoyal
- the government with the statement
that he had not had courage to name
those IA. Mason declared that when the
investigation committee declared that
there was no ground for Heflins suspi-
cior and the question of a probable vote
OF his expulsion was under consideration.
the Alabama members declared that the
COMMUNICATIVE chief of the army and navy
would not suffer his humiliation. Mason
compared this attitude with that of a
schooboy who throws SNOWFALL and
then runs to the teacher for protection.

Notwithstanding AFFECT Surrender Of
War-Weary People, Teutonie Troops
Are Advancing Eastward Into Rus
sia over Front Of 400 Miles.

London.-The Russian Bolshevlki
government has capitulated and an
nOunced It's readiness, although pro-
testingly, to sign a peace compact UNI
der the hard terms imposed by Ger
many, which are said to include the
retention of Poland, Lithuania, Riga
and Moon island and an indemnity of
$4OOO,OOO,OO0, presumably in gold.
Notwithstanding this abject surren-
der. TeutOnic troops are advancing
eastward into Russia over a front of
400 miles from Riga in the north to
Iutsk, IA scant fifty miles from the
east Galiclan border, on the south. APP
pa-ently thus far the operation has
met with no opposition. The northern
reaches Of the Dvina river have been
crossed by the enemy; the important
railroad town of Dvinsk, whence roads
run northeastward to Petrograd and
eastward to Smolenssk, has been cap
tured, and Lutsk, one of the famous
fortresses of the Volhynian triangle
and forming the gateway leading east
ward to Kiev, has been entered with
out the Russians attempting to stay
| the foe.
As yet there are no indications from
German sources concerning the full in
tentions Of the invaders, but 1t has been
assumed that In the north the capture
of the provinces of Livonia and Es-
thonia is contemplated and that in the
south, In Little Russia, aid is to be lent
the Ukralnians in stemming the tide Of
the Bolsheviki movement against them.

EFFORT BROUGHT ABOUT
BY UNITED STATES.
Premier Lloyd George Declares Plan
Submitted Mas One Of Ablest Doc
unents Ever Submitted to a
Military Conference.

LondOn.--The tense political sltua-
ton in Great Britain. arising from the
secrecy surrounding the recent supreme
war council at Versailles and the re-
tirement of General Robertson as chief
Of the British imperial staff. has been
bridged. Premier Lloyd George an
nOuuced to the house of commons on
February 10 IL had been decided TO
set up IA central authority to co-ordi-
nate the strategy Of the allies and that
the plan submitted by the Americans,
(which put the case for the present
proposal" was one of the ablest docu-
ments ever submitted to military
conference. The plan was adopted
with minor changes.
Premier Lloyd George said the gov
ernment was anxious to retain the
services OF General Sir William Rob
ertson as chief of stan so long as II
was compatible upon the decision Of
the policy in common with Great Brit
aims allies
The premier said the policy Of the
government was based upon the as
sumption that the allies had suffered
In the past through lack of concerted
and co-ordnated efforts. II had de-
cIded to set up central committee
to centralIze the strategy of the allies.
II hesitated for some time" said the
premier in referring 10 the American
representations, whether / should not
read In the house of commons the very
cogent documents submitted by the
| American delegation which put the
ease for the present proposal. II Is
one Of the ablest documents ever sub
mltted to military conference, The
only reason why I do not read II TO
the house Is that 1t Is mixed with the
plan OF operations.
The American representatives at the
Versailles war council declared with
irresistible power and logic" for the
plan for expansion of the supreme
councils power the premier said.
Sir Rawlinson Appointed.
