KAISER BREAKS
WITH RUSSIA
German Ruler in Rage Over Kill
ing of General Won
Mirbach.
KILLING SIGNAL FOR REVOLT
Boishevik Forces and Revolutionary
Socialists Clash in Moscow Fol-
lowing Assassination-Huns
Put Blame on Allies.

London, July 10.-As soon as EN-
peror William heard of the assassina-
ton of Count Won Mirbach, the Ger
man ambassador to Russia, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Russia, he ordered Secretary Won
Kuehllnann to break off negotiations
with the Russian delegation in Berlin.
strong guard has been placed be-
fore the house of the bolshevik ambas-
sador in Berlin, as it is feared the pop
ulace of the capital will inaugurate
anti-RuSsian demonstrations.
All the German newspapers declare
the murder of Count Won Mirbach must
inevitably have a great influence on
RussO-German relations.
Lenine, the bolshevik premier, is en-
deavOring to placate the Germans by
appointing an extraordinary commits
sion of investigation" to probe the
death of Count Won Mirbach. The COM
mission is headed by "Comrade Pc
ters."
Meanwhile Berlin is doing its utmost
to make capital out of the murder of
Mirbach. A German official account
of the assassination concludes:
'The result of preliminary inquiry
permits the assumption that agents in
the service of the entente are impli-
Gated in the affair."
AS further indication that the kaiser
is determined to exact heavy toll from
Russia as revenge, perhaps sending a
big army to occupy Moscow, Petro-
grad and other cities, all the German
newspapers declare the murder of
Count Won Mirbach must inevitably
have great influence on Russo-Ger-
man relations. German forces now
300 miles west of Moscow are being
heavily REINFORCED.
A Russian wireless dispatch claims
that the uprising has been completely
suppressed, and indicates that the sup
preston was sanguinary, the orders
being that all who resisted should be
"shot on the spot"
The Russian wireless also circulated
the following, signed by M. Araloff,
the chief Moscow commissioner:

The critics of large appropriations

The time was when the sundry civil
bill would occupy two or three weeks
In the house. Carrying about $3,000.-
100000. it passed this year in about
the same number of days. Congress
is certainly doing its duty In the mat

has been cut down was that for Creel's
bureau of public Information. The
house trimmed about S1.000,000 from
CreeTs demand, but that makes no
difference as Creel can get the rloney

No one has yet been able to find
method for keeping senator's in their
seats during any kind Of a debate.
One of the arguments in favor of limit
ing debate in the senate was that II
would make senators remain. Senator
Sherman of Illinois insisted that no
matter what the senate did it could
not force senator's to stay and listen
to speeches in which they were not in
terested. The Illinois senator went in
to the subject at considerable length,
analysing the methods pursued not
only In the congress of the United
States, but in the parliament of Great
Britain, and proved what every legis-
lator knows, that comparatively few
men remain in the chamber to transact
the business of congress and parlia-
ment.

The United States senate Is some
what scary as to what is going to
happen after the coming election. 1t
Is not so much matter of political
complexion Of the senate as the per-
sonnet. OF course both political par
ties would like to have their side win
and be in control. but above political
control is the personal equation.
Not only is the senate threatened
with Henry Ford from Michigan, but
it is barely possible that two women
senators may appear on the 4th Of
next March. OF course there is no
objection to Henry Ford, save that
the senate would much prefer pro-
found statesmen, lawyers who could
become great diplomats or constitu-
tional opponents. The senate is COM
posed mostly Of lawyers, and it does
not now take and never has taken
kindly to the business man as a states
man. The senate was ready to turn
the cold shoulder to Mark Hanna be-
cause he was the business man in pol
itics.
AS to the ether phase of the ques-
ton, 1t is quite possible that a num-
Der of senators will welcome the wom-
en- when they come, but take the SEN
ate as whole it is likely that the in
novatiOn of women senators Is going
to cause some CONSERVATION.

A rather remarkable occurrence
happened in congress few days ago,
which has not attracted general notice.
1t was a speech by Southern man.
Congressman Pou Of North Carolina,
in which he extolled and praised the
negro race. He alluded to the fact
that the negroes of the South had sub
scribed 100000 for Liberty bonds. He
reverted to the days of the Civil war
and said that the people then saw the
negro tested as few people have ever
been tested In the history Of the
world"
Congressman Pou then went on to
deny that there was any possibility of
disloyalty among the negroes and as
serted that the German propagandists
who had gone among them would fail.
'"The negro race as rule live in hum
BILE homes" said POu. "As l stand
here now l can see all over the South
the vine-clad cabins Of this kindly
race. They have their faults, but dis
loyalty is not among them" He said
that from the homes all over the South
the young negro men were answering
to their country's call, Here; we are
ready"

Success in the house of representa-
tives is not always followed by sue
cess in the senate. In fact, a greer
deal of prominence in the house or rep
resentatives is rather detriment to
man when transferred to the upper
branch of congress, particularly II ne
continues to be active and assumes a
position of leadership. This has Deen
shown In the case of Senator Under-
wood of Alabama, who was ali-poWer-
full in the house, more powerful than
the speaker, by reason of his position
as chairman of the ways and means
committee. When Underwood came
to the senate he received his frst SET
back by antagoniZing Chairman SIM
mons of the finance committee on
revenue bill. Not even his prestige as
the manager of several revenue D1lls
in the house gave him any particular
power In the senate and Simmons
found it comparatively easy to win
out. Underwood's second reverse
came when he tried to amend the rules
so as to limit debate. The negative
vote was not due to the fact that I'M
derwood was comparatively new man
In the senate, but there were great
many older senators, and quite num-
Der who voted with him, who took
great deal OF satisfaction in the result.

The war department has three or
four times as many men training and
ready to fly as are needed at the pres
ent time, on account of the lack of air
planes. Congressman Shallenberger of
Nebraska, a member of the military
committee, explained why it was that
there are so many men anxious for
service in the aviation corps. He said
1t was tremendously attractive to
young men. The aviator's service at
the front is vastly different from that
Of other men In the army. Infantry
and artillery are in the front of battle,
In the trench and in the mud, and they
have little opportunity to sleep on ac-
tive service. The aviator and those
in charge of the machines are miles in
the rear, sometimes out of the sound
Of the big guns. They have their quar-
tiers in which to sleep. 1t is the most
desirable service so far as personal
comfort is concerned of any in the
army"
But it is not alone the personal COM
fort; all that is left of romance in war
belongs TO aviation. Everybody has
read enough o. what war means either
on land or sea under present condi-
tons TO know that the romance Is
taken out of it. The cavalry used to
furnish some thrills, and the field ar
tillery as well. Even the infantry at
times, by long marches, climbing
mountains and swift movements strik-
ing the enemy unawares, occasionally
did things that furnished a thrill and
story. In these days there is moth
ing left but service in the air to make
war picturesque or romantic. That is
one reason why so many young men
are attracted to 1t.

The ways and means committee of
the house is not going to pass the next
revenue bill with the criticism that
the people interested In taxation have
not been afforded full opportunity
TO be heard. Not only has the
committee granted hearings to all
who presented themselves, but 1t has
proceeded without restrictions, partic-
ularly with those who represented Inn
portant interests. a year ago when
the revenue bill was passed the ways
and means committee rushed matters.
while the senate committee on finance
gave hearings of somewhat restrict
ed nature, and many people who were
taxed complained bitterly that they
did not have an opportunity to show
the inequalities of the revenue legis-
latiOn.

Those senator's say something to
each other once in a while. McCum-
her of North Dakota was opposing the
resolution to limit debate In the SEN
ate, while Cummins of Iowa favored
It. '"The senator from Iowa." said
McCumber, "spoke about two hours
to convince the senate that no senator
was justified in discussing subject
longer than an hour and half"
1t is rather an interesting fact, Also
that a number of the senators who be-
long to the long-winded class are those
who were most earnestly in favor of
cutting down the debate.
