Senators Lodge and Penrose
Deny Senator Stones Charges;
Harry S. New Defends Hays

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The first
real political debate IN Congress since
the United States entered the wal
was precipitated in the Senate by
Senator Stone yesterday when he de-
livered a speech accusing Republican
leaders of playing politics with the
war, with the object of taking the gov
ernment into their own hands by
partisan criticism
He drew caustic replies from Senat-
ors Lodge and Penrose, who denied
that the Republican leaders had been
guilty of playing politics, and who de-
clared that they reserved the right to
crtitcise the administration whenever
they believed such criticism was in
the interest of winning the war. The
Republicans declared emphatically
that they did not consider the presi-
dent above criticism and that the
Democrats themselves were guilty of
dragging politics into the war machin-

ROOSEVELT WILL
NOT MAKE REPLY

WASHINGTON, Jan. D. Colonel
Roosevelt came to town today and re-
ceived a steady stream of callers at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mich

The colonel frankly said his pur-
pose in coming to the capital now
was to help speed up the war and con-
fer with friends in congress. He dis
claimed any purpose of replying to
Senator Stones speech in the senate
yesterday.
II am infinitely less interested in
what Senator Stone says about me
than in what the president says about
Senator Chamberlain" said Col. Roose-
welt "The national motto at this
time should be Tell the truth and
speed up the war ! expect to see
Chamberlain before I see anyone else
and then to see Senator Hiram John
son of California. and shall have moth
ing further to say until after I have
seen them and perhaps not until a
little later.

worth and Curtis and Representatives
Lenroot, Baer and Calvin. My purpose
in coming here is to help by any
means in my power to render more
speedy and more effective Americas S

CHANGE Commanders.

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY. Monday, Jan. II.
BY The Associated Press.-General
Szetozar Boroevic has been appointed
TO succeed the archduke Eugene In
command of the entire enemy front
against Italy and it is believed that
the change may have considerable
effect on the campaign.
The two conspicuous army figures
on this front have been Field Mar
shall Conrad Won Hoetzendorff. COM
manding the mountain front, and Gen
eral Boroevlc, commanding along the
Piave.
General Boroevic is the junior of the
field marshal and his passing over
him is in the nature OF a disgrace,
probably growing out OF the operations
on this front. Field Marshal Conrad
Won Hoetzepdorff retains his command
on the mountain front, He has repre-
sented the extreme element opposed
to Italy and as chief the the Austrian
staff sought to provoke collision
with Italy during the Tripolitan war,
and has even been charged with using
the Vessina earthquake as preteXt
for Austrian intervention in Italian
affairs.
General Boroevic in tactics on the
Italian front have been uniformly de-
fensive: rarely offensive. For two
wears on the Isonzo front he maintain
ed a defensive and took the offensive
only when German rGinforcements
compelled an advance. Since the for
nation of the new Piave line his policy
has been chiefly defensive.
The appointment OF General Bor-
oevic, therefore. is construed as con-
firming reports that the enemy pro-
poses TO maintain a defensive attitude
IN the Italian front for the present.
It is also regarded as concession to
the Slav element Of Austria, as Bor-
Devic is Of Slavo-Creatian origin. Cen
eral Boroevic stands entirely outside
the military court favorites like Con
rad Won Hoetzendorf.

CRISIS NEAR
AS RESULT OF
AUSTRIAN'S
CONDITION
London Newspapers Believe
Austria-Hungary's Cry for
Peace Accompanied by
Riots, Is Cause.
PREMIER RESIGNS

LONDON, Jan. %. - Austria.Hun-
gary's cry for peace, accompanied ap'
parently by a condition of incipient
revolt. is featured by the morning
newspapers as fact that is hurrying
T, the dual monarchy to crisis. Long
dispatches from Amsterdam show that
the workers have become desperate
because of lack OF food and general
war weariness.
There is an evident connection OF
the strike movement with the negotia-
tions at Brest-Litovsk, which have en-.
couraged the socialists to insist that
the war shall not be prolonged merely
for the purpose of territorial agress-
ion.
While most newspapers here attach
the greatest importance to the up
heaval and some infer that the Aus.
trian government Is encouraging the
movement in a genuine endeavor to
promote peace, the fact that the cen
sorship has permitted reports to be
telegraphed from Vienna with un-
wonted freedom, suggests to other
commentators that there may be a
deliberate purpose behind the license
allowed In Vienna. The Daily Mail,
for instance, suggests that it may be a
case of shamming death to impress
the labor party of the entente coun-
tries with the idea that Austria is
ready to accept a Bolsheviki peace.
Reports from Switzerland mention
the arrest OF peace demonstrators at
some places in Austria. Clashes be-
tween hungry civilians and soldiers
are reported, while in some instances
it is said the soldiers refused to fire on
the demonstrators when ordered to
do so. At Gratz. where the trouble is
acute, the soldiers abandoned their
loaded machine guns to the rioters.
German newspapers report that DR..
Won Seydler. the American premier.
has resigned and that DR.. Wekerle,
the Hungarian premier, has determin-
ed to retire next month are not sup
ported by any official announcement.

GOOD SHIP NEWS.

Better than the shipping boards predictions
as to the future OF our building program on
which the government has not yet made good,
is the official statement of the war trade board
about the purchase of Japanese ships. All OF
the twelve upto-date steamers which are to be
added to the shipping board s fleet within the
next few months, as result of negotiations
just completed, are less than two years old.
They are among the best products of japanese
yards, where the finishing work on some OF
them is still incomplete. Deliveries of the ships
at American ports will begin not later than
May, and before October first all the vessels will
be in the service of the United States and its al
lies. Better even than assurance that twelve
ships are coming, is the prospect that we are to
receive from japan in the near future much
larger tonnage than that represented by the
purchase which has just been announced. Ne
gotiations are under way to exchange American
steel plates for two hundred thousand tons OF
new construction The situation is most en-
couraging, and the war trade board does well
in speaking appreciatively of the fine spirit dis
played by the japanese government AS for the
United States, it cannot afford to withhold
steel as long as Japan is willing to keep her
shipyards busy in our interest.

THE COST OF ROYALTY.

It seems reasonable to assume that in the re-
construction period following the war the Ger
mans frugal people burdened with enormous
debts will do some figuring to the relative
cost and worth Of governmental systems. At
the beginning of the nineteenth century no less
than seventy sovereigns of independent states
taxed the German people to support their petty
but costly courts. Napoleon swept most of
these away; but some of them were restored
after his overthrow, and there today in
Germany twenty courts besides the kaisers in
each of which an hereditary ruler reigns with a
total cost to their subjects for the upkeep Of
their thrones exceeding two hundred and fifty
million dollars a year These Amounted of the
Lord, as they affect to regard themselves, are
for the most part, and have been for a century,
inefficient and useless parasites upon their
kingdoms and principalities. The best that
could be said of most of them that they
were inoffensive; while many of them were dis
eased to the point of lunacy, imbecile, demented
or even homicidal maniacs.
But the German people have taken steps
to rid themselves of their hereditary leeches
and go on paying more for the pomp of royalty
than Great Britain, Austria, Italy and Spain
combined. They seem to have accepted it as
part of the natural order of things that ''su-
perior beings should rule them, no matter
