SENATOR stone DEAD
HAD been ACTIVE IN
POLITICS ALL HIS LIFE
Objected to Declaration Of
War Against Germany,
Had Been a Leader

Washington, April 15.-Both houses
of congress today paid their respects
to the memory of Senator William j.
Stone, Missouri, who died late yester-
day-the sixth member of the senate
to die since the United States entered
the war.
Senator Stone succumbed to a cere-
bral hemorrhage which occurred last
week. His advanced age made it impos-
sible for him to rally from the shock.
He went into coma early yesterday
and died shortly before 5 p. m.
Senator Stones death removed one
of the most picturesque and influential
men in the senate. AS chairman of the
foreign relations committee he held
great power. He also was a member of
the important finance committee, and
had much to do with shaping the war
tax bill passed last October and the
war finance corporation bill recently
enacted.
Senator Stone was serving his third
term in the senate and his sixth in con
gress. He was in the house three terms
and came to the senate in 1908, sue
ceeding George Graham Vest. He also
was governor of Missouri and had
served many years ON the democratic
national committee.
Stone long opposed the war between
the United States and Germany and
owing to his attitude the val resolu-
ton sought by President Wilson was
engineered through the senate by Sex
ator Hitchcock.
After that time, Stone was attacked
bitterly on many sides and there was
a strong urge that he be unseated as
chairman of the foreign relations col--
mittee. The effort was unsuccessful.
Thereafter, he eve participated in
the white house councils.
Funeral services - for which both
house and senate adiourned-were held
at Senator Stones home here. The
body will be sent to Nilsson / where it
will lie in state in the Missouri state
capitol at Jefferson City. Burial will
be at Nevada, Mo. Committees from

If there were any German soldiers there they certainly suffered death.
 Thus far six men have died from the effects of the German gas shells. More than 80 are in hospitals suffering from gas poisoning. Most of the cases, however, are slight and only one man is reported to be in grave condition.
 Airplane photographs aided the American gunners in their destructive fire against the German batteries. The photographs, taken yesterday, disclosed the exact location of the Minnenwerfers, with the result that it did not take the gunners long to even up the score with the enemy.
 While the number of enemy shells falling within the American lines has decreased slightly in the past 24 hours nevertheless the artillery fighting has been lively.

GERMAN ASSAULT ON
 AISNE WAS REFUSED
Will Continue HOstilities Until Peace Has Been Signed-Aus- tria is Moving Into Russia on Appeal From Ukrainia.

London, March 1.-The Russian peace delegates at Brest-Litovsk were informed that hostilities would cease only when the peace treaty was sign ed, says a Russian official statement received here today. Three days were allowed for the negotiations, begin ming today.
 Dispatches received by the Ex- change Telegraph Company, filed in Petrograd at 6 p. m. Thursday, indi- cate that the German advance into Russia has been resumed.
 A forward movement by the invad- CTS of some 35 miles beyond Pelotsk, midway between Dvinsk and Vitebsk, is reported in these advices, the Ger mans pushing on, despite the fact that the ailway has been blown up and the stores of provisions in their way de- troyed
 German troops also are reported to be moving slowly toward Luga from Pskov, at which place they are said to have concentrated a division of in- fantry, supported by cavalry and heavy and light artillery.
 The Germans likewise are declared to be moving on Sebezh, 80 miles northeast of Dvinsk.
 The British and French embassies have left Petrograd, according to a telegram from the Russian official news agency in Petrograd, and which bears no date.
 The Russian council of peoples commissioners has decided to return to Petrograd, says an official Russian statement received here today. The removal of clements of the population valueless in the defense of the capital is being continued, however.
 Gold and other valuables continue to be shipped away from the city, the statement adds.
