PARLIAMENT IS
 STANDING BACK
 OF GOVERNMENT
Associated Prese)


 LONDON. Feb. 13.-Just before the closing of parliament yesterday, Premier Lloyd George challenged the members to attempt to pass a vote signifying a lack of confidence in the government. The challenge was not taken up by the opposi- tion, composed of small pacifist element, and parliament stands pledged to support solidly the gov ernment's aim to carry the war through to a finish.
 The sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the governments course, and the premier has almost solid support in his war work. The Brit ish government is hard at work on its renewed effort to meet the sit uation brought about by recent events.
 In his address yesterday the pre- mier failed to mention the last ad- dress of President Wilson, which was made in reply to the address es of the Teuton diplomats. He de clined to see any nearer approach to reasonable peace terms in the speech of Count Czernin than in that of Chancellor von Hertling.
 He also stated that further ex- change of views with Germany was useless, as Hertling's demand that England be forced to surrender her coaling stations in various parts of the world showed conclusively that Germany is not now in any reason. able mood to discuss peace terms.

 AGAINST ADAMS
Associated Pressl


 ST. LOUIS. Mo, Feb. 13.-A sur prise was sprung in the opening days session of the Republican na- tional committee here today when John T. Adams, of Iowa. withdrew his name from the contest for chair man of the committee to succeed former Chairman William R .NiII. COX. The cause of Adams with drawal was the charge that he was not loyal to the government. The executive committee is to investigate these charges.
 Adams is reported to have writ. ten letters from Berlin late in the month of August. 1917. in which he defended the German invasion of Belgium and praised Germany He is said to have declared that France had planned to cross Belgium and, in conjunction with Russia, crush Germany. When these charges were brought up before the national committee. Adams promptly with drew his name without denying that he had written the letter.
 It is said that Adams now pro- poses to nominate Will H. Hays. of Indiana, for chairman of the ma. tional committee, whose election is considered as certain, as Adams con- trols enough votes to seat his man.
 The resignation of Wilcox was received and accepted. MT. Wilcox stated he was resigning because he had been appointed by Director Gen. eral McAdoo as a member of the federal wage commission which is studying conditions with a view to adjusting the wages of railroad em- ployees. He stated that he regarded this position as being of a judicial nature which rendered It inexpedi- ent for him to retain his position as a leader of the opposition party. He declared that he believes he will be able to be of more service to the country on the wage commits sion than he would have been on the Republican national committee HAYS ELECTED
 ST. LOUIS. Feb. 13-Will H. Hays. of Indiana, was tonight elect ed chairman of the Republican com. mittee after John T. Adams had withdrawn his name from the con- test and nominated Hays.

Another resolution was passed expressing gratitude for the work of Roosevelt in trying to bring the country to a full realization of the real meaning of the war.

CT moderates sufficiently for infantry movement, an attack is expected by the allied commanders.

SMALL GAIN IS SEEN IN PEACE
 WITH UKRAINE
Associated Pressj

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.- American military observers declare that Germany will not be very great ly benefited by the peace which has been concluded with the new Ukrainian republic. Very little strength will be gained for her west ern front offensive, according to the military experts.
 The Russian cessation of the war. it is pointed out. unless it is shortly followed by the signing of a formal peace treaty between the Bolsheviki and Germany, will not release any considerable number of German and Austrian soldiers from the Russian fronts. Until peace is signed be- tween the two groups. it is declared, Germany will be compelled to main tain a considerable force on this front in order to be prepared to meet any sudden resumption of hos tilities that may be begun by the Russians
 It is also pointed out that owing to demoralized transportation condi- tions. 1t is practically impossible for the Teutons to obtain very large shipments of wheat and other sup plies hoped for from Ukraine. Most of the prisoners held by the Rus sians are said to be Austrians and unavailable for service on the west ern front

MADDENED MOB TAKE IT. OUT"
 OF KAISERMEN

RIO DE, JANEIRO. Jan. 22.-A demonstration of bitter animosity against Germany, accompanied by riots, the burning of many German houses and destruction of other Ger man property by mobs of angry Brazilians, was caused by the an nouncement here on November 3 of the sinking in European waters by German submarines of the Brazilian steamers Acary and Guahyba. The mobs visited their wrath on every thing German.
 AS soon as the public learned of the torpedoing of the Brazilian yes sells. thousands of people marched to the presidents palace where their spokesman expressed to the presi- dent the confidence of the Brazilian people. They then marched through the streets waving the Brazilian flag and the flags of the entente allies. shouting death to the Germans and long live Brazil"
 The crowd next surged into the Rua da Senado and stormed the German schoo, and although large police endorsements were called out. they were helpless against the shout ing crowd which, after stoning the school and breaking all the windows, continued it's march, stoning German bars and other buildings as they passed. AS the crowd approached one bar in the Avenida Rio Branco. the principal thoroughfare of the city. some Germans who were in the bar shouted Long live Germany"
 The result was like powder ex- plosion. The crowd rushed into the bar, which was set afire and every thing in 1t was burned. The people in the mob attacked everyone who dared to voice protest against this destruction. Others saved them selves only by flight. and although the police were reinforced by cavalry troops they could only have stopped the destruction by shooting into the crowd and this was not done.
 AZ the crowd left the bar after watching the flames die out. the cavalry succeeded in breaking up the mob by charging through 1t. but this only scattered the crowd into groups each of which found some thing German to destroy as 1t ran Most of these groups managed to get together again in the Avenida and burned many of the large Ger. man business houses there. At va rious corners. government officials addressed the crowd and urged them to desist, but all the pleading and speeches availed nothing.
 Shortly before midnight another attempt was mads to break up the crowd with a cavalry charge. but the mob stood It's ground and there was a serious clash with the soldiers in which many people and one or two soldiers were reported injured.
 After stoning and burning the principal German business houses, the crowd then went through the city again tearing down the name plates of all the German physicians. and lawyers.
 Later in the night the police were to ire into the crowd at several points in the city in order to prevent the firing of buildings which might have resulted in the l of nearby property and several persons were wounded and had to be taken to the hospital.
 The German club was invaded and as were several German offices and the destruction | did not stop until an early hour in | the morning when the crowd had | tired itself out
