DENIES that
AMERICA HAS
FALLEN DOWN
Congressman Answers In
Detail Charges of Sena-
tor Chamberlain
(Rv Aasociated Preaa.N

Washington, Feb. Representa-
tive Glass, in a speech delivered in
the house today, came to the defense
Of the administration, answered the
charges contained In Senator Cham
berlain's indictment of the war de-
partment and denied that the Am
erican war machine has fallen
down..
Mr.. Glass followed Senator Cham
berlain's speech, point by point, and
praised the work of the administra-
ton in each instance. He said that
1t was General Joffre who suggested
supplying U. s. trops with ammuni-
ton from French factories "since it
would save the unavoidable delays,
the pressingly needed cargo space, the
tremendous cost Of shipment.
Regarding the machine gun con-
troversy, Mr.. Glass asserted that the
Browning gun was selected because
experts pronounce it the best ma
chine gun in the world.
The only prop on which the crit
les now rest their case, he said, els
the plea that the Lewis gun was inn
mediately available while deliveries
Of the Browning gun will be delayed!
and they use this broken reed in the
face Of expert testimony to the eff
feet that in tests the Lewis gun had
utterly failed with American am
munition".
The American army in France has
thousands of machine guns to go up
against the enemy, he said. ''It is
as we'll equipped with machine guns
az any army in Europe-perhaps bet
ter equipped than the German army"

trench. The men looked down into
the trench, which apparently was
abandoned but they were sure snip
ers were there. They dropped down
noiselessly and found q place where
the trench bottom showed fresh foot
prints. On the parapet the corporal
discovered a rife, loaded and pointed
in the direction OF the American
trenches. There was not a German

The corporal brought back the rife
to the American lines. 1t is q typical

ENTIRE CABINET
HAS RESIGNED
Austrian Premier and His
Ministers Tender Res
ignations to Emperor

Amsterdam, Feb. 8.-Dr Won seyd-
Ter, the Austrian premier, has ten
dered the designation of his entire
cabinet to Emperor Charles, accord
ing to a dispatch from Vienna.
The resignation Of the Won Seydlel
cabinet, it is understood in parlia-
mentary circles in Vienna, is due ia
the opposition OF Polish deputies
against special debates and the pro-
vtsional budget. The opposition Of
the deputies makes a. majority fol
the budget doubtful.
President Gross of the lower house
announcing the resignation, said
that according to constitution Il was
necessary to postpone temporarily
the sittings Of the house.
The cabinet Of DR.. Won Seydler,
which was formed last June, was
reported to have resigned during the
recent labor crisis in Austria Hun
gary. This report, however, was
not confirmed.
DR.. Won Seydler was able to bring
about the cessation Of the strike by
informing labor delegations on
january 20 that 1t was the wish Of
the Austrian emperor to end the
WA 81 @AAI NNA4 &4E&N@ PG3@AbAS 4A4gAAAN4Ak
by an honorable peace. Other mem
bers Of his government promised la
Dor and military reforms, after which
the labor leaders ordered their fol-
lowers to return to work. This viz
tually ended the strike in Vienna.
Amsterdam, Feb. s.-Advices from
say that Count Julius
Andrassy, former Hungarian pre-
mier, declared in the lower house
that he was convinced the Russian
Bolshevilki were not serious in their
peace Intentions. Count Andrassy
added:
1.-THE Bolshevild are hoping to sue
coed through their agitation in or
ganizing an army in our midst that
shall terroTize the government.
I'VE understand now why they
demand that Poland shall decide it's
own destiny when our troops have
been Withdrawn. In that case Poland
would be unable to decide its fate,
free of terrorization, because the
would interfere in its af-
fairs just as now they are interior
ing in the affairs Of the Ukraine and

Command BN British.

London, Feb. 8.-That the sinking
of the liner Tuscania will stimulate
the United States to even greater re-
solve and sterner efforts on behalf OF
the fight for democracy is the opinion
generally expressed in editorial COM
ment in the morning newspapers.
Satisfaction Is expressed and
congra tulations are extended that
this, the first disaster to many Am
erican transports, shows the empti-
ness of the German boast that the
submarines would render the traps
portation Of the American armies
impossible and would tntimidate the
Americans. Nevertheless, 1t is
declared, it is too much to hope that
the Tuscania. will be the last victim,
though the conviction is expressed
that the American nation realizes
fully the dffFlculties ahead and is
prepared to meet them.
Some OF the editorials say that the
submarine menace has not yet been
mastered and remains a grave prob
lem to which the allies, especially
Great Britain and the United States
must devote all their energies in view
of the imperative need Of keeping
the Atlantic route open. The Daily
Express declares that the U~boat
that sank the Tuscania did a bad
days work for Germany It adds:
america will shed tears. then her
heart viii harden. Remember the
Tuscanian win be the irresistible call
to the eolors. 1t win also be the
battle cry of victory"
