Washington, Nov 1e.--The move
ment of the progressive republicans
Of the senate to overthrow the senior
lty rule has narrowed down to a
straight fight against the return of
Senator Boise Penrose OF Pennsyl-
vania to power as chairman of the
finance committee.
The progressive republican senator's
addressed a round robin TO viii H.
Hays, chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, serving notice on
him that under no circumstances
would they agree to the restoration
of Senator Penrose to power.
Fear Damage to Party.
The burden of the protest through
out was that Senator Penrose must he
kept out of the saddle at all hazards
1t was pointed out that if Senator
Penrose was reassigned to the chair
manship of the finance committee it
would place him in charge of the all
important tax and money legislation
of the country
Asserting that nothing could rbe
more ruinous to the prospects of re-
publican success III the presidential
campaign IN 1920. the signers of the
ultimatum, all of them members of
the present senate, frankly declared
that unless Senator Penrose was
eliminated in the reorganization of
the committees by the republican
conference they would revolt and
throw the control of the senate into
the hands of the democrats
Rcactionary Methods Charged.
The general propositions set forth
;,1 III a rs
Hays were:
"That the future of the republican
party hangs on its conduct in control
of congress during the next two years.
"That Senator Penrose represents
the reactionary domination which
caused the split of the republican
party in 1912.
"That the Pennsylvania senator has
not changed his methods and that the
progressive wing of the party still
looks upon him as an undesirable type
of leadership.
THAT the restoration Of Senator
Penrose to power would turn hun
dreds of thousands, if not millions. of
voters from the party in 1920, IN the
middle west and far west.
"That loss of control of the senate
is greatly preferable to the damage
which would be done to the future
of the republican party If Senator
Penrose dominates the tax legislation
during the next two years"
Threaten to support Democrats.
The progressive republican senators
express the hope that Senator PEN
rose may be eliminated or consent to
his elimination by the republican
caucus. If the caucus Will leave his
name off the list of chairmen to be
named, they promise to support the
remainder of the reorganization pro-
gram, assuring republican control of
the upper house. Otherwise they will
vote against the caucus slate and the
control will remain in the hands of
the democrats.
The fight against Senator Penrose
has been brewing ever since 1t be-
came apparent that the republicans
had captured control of the senate.

SUSPECT
GERMAN PLOT To
RESTORE KAISER
Runors That Former Emperor
May Return to Germany
Creates Considerable Stir
in London Circles.

London Nov 19--The rumors that
William HohenZollern, the former
German emperor, may possibly return
to Germany, as supported by the Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeigers hint that he
would not be refused an entry to that
country have created a considerable
stir here. They are featured by sew
eral of the morning newspapers as
creating an uncertain situation which
is rendered more doubtful by accounts
Of the activity of German propagand
lists in several countries.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor would sooner or later become
the center of q reactionary movement
in Germany when the present revolu-
tionary storm has blown over.
On the other hand the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands of the new rulers
of Germany would be welcomed in
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post argues, should be able
to execute judgment upon him and to
so doing would only be acting as fit
ting instruments of justice.
There is everywhere, however,
agreement in the idea that the eX
emperor's presence in Holland is in
tolerable, and it is insisted that he
must somehow be made impotent to
do further mischief The reports from
Holland show that the unlimited guest
is becoming daily more unwelcome
there. Belated advices from The
Hague show that the Dutch socialists
reiterated in parliament on Friday
last their objections to his presence
and demanded that he be deported.
A t,b n hn nDily Mail from
The Hague reports that the German
soldiers council in Antwerp on Thurs
day last adopted resolution that
the soldiers and workmen's council in
Berlin demand extraditicn of the for
mer emperor and the former crown
prince, as well as certain generals.
The resolution expresses belief that
the ex-ruler forms the center of coun-
ter revolutionary intrigue.
The Daily Express sees the posi-
bili'y of a plot to trick the allies and
create federation far exceeding in
strength and resources the former
German empire. This newspaper con-
tends that the former emperor is back
of Chancellor Ebert. former Chancel-
lor Macmillan of Baden and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, and it lays
emphasis upon the fact that the en-
peror signed no formal abdication and
issued no valedictory message.
A number of leading allied dplo-
mats and statesmen, including Lord
Robert Cecil, under secretary of state,
for foreign affairs, believe that some
thing is brewing in Germany in the di-
rection of plot to trap the allies. the
Express declares. The facts appear to
Indicate it adds, the existence of a.
plan to provide for the eventual re-
turn of the former emperor of Ger
many, the restoration of the old
regime and the formation of greatly
extended German federation.
such a federation. with William Ho-
henzollern at its head, the Express
argues, would carry the seed of anoth-
er world war. 1t insists that the for
mer emperor must be seized and his
activities prevented.

AMERICAN AVIATION WORK.
Il Is Equal to the Best the War Has
Yet Seen.

Bombs of an incredible size are now
carried by American aircraft. writes an
Associated Press correspondent with
the American army in France, and
some idea Of their destructive capacity
may be gained from the fact that they
cannot be dropped at lower altitude
than 5000 feet, so greatly Is the air
disturbed by the explosion.
An amusing incident occurred when
the first OF these was dropped on enc
my territory, which is much harried by
Anne rican bombers and consequently
bristles with searchlights and anti-air-
craft batteries. So terrific was the ex-
plosion that every searchlight went out
instantly, and the airman was deprived
of the landmarks on which he had
counted to find his way home.
+, Americans in this squadron have had
remarkable success. In two weeks they
accounted for twenty-six enemy ma
chimes, seventeen of which were crash
ed, and one balloon. All are imbued
with the idea Of maintaining the onen-
sive under all circumstances.
Recently two of them, finding them
selves cut off by twenty Of the enemy
while returning to camp, refused to
seek safety in flight. Instead, they
swept up to the German machines,
which were all aDONe lHelIl, anu oo
ratified the enemy by their unexpected
daring that they actually brought
down four of the machines and.
though not undamaged themselves.
were able to land behind our lines.
A successful attack was made by
members Of this squadron not long ago
upon a troublesome enemy aerodrome
which long had evaded discovery. so
cleverly was it concealed in the grounds
of q chateau. The chateau served as
headquarters of the officers Of the
German squadron, and the hangers
were hidden in the edge Of the woods
about the house. The American squad
ron was acting as escort to the bomb
ers charged with the destruction OF the
aerodrome.
In field about half dozen enemy
airplanes were discovered, most OF
them with their propellers running and
preparing for fighting. The American
machines swooped down within hum
dred feet Of the ground and circled
about the field. sweeping 1t with the
fire from their machine guns until all
the German machines were blazing and
the men attending them either shot or
driven into q nearby wood.
Meantime bombs had been dropped
on all the hangers and on the chateau,
which burnt like torch and lighted
the attackers on their return journey.
