WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Senator Brandegee Quick at RepaFtee Senator Mclean to Have Three Appointments for Annapolis-What Constitutes Military Camp.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Special to The Bulletin)
 Washington D. C., July 11.-Senater Brandegee has heen especially active in the bills now before the senate both in endorsing them or opposing them, according to his point of view There isn't a man in the senate who is quicker at repartee or who can give thrust or take a blow with better poise than the senior senator from Connecticut This week there have been many hot shots fired back and to the other. and in many of them Senator Brandegee has been either the gunnan or the target. Here is one instance: It happened that while quite another matter was under dis cussion Senator Lewis of Illinois rose to state that he and not Colonel Roose- welt was the real cause of the famous "embalmed beef round robin" episode of the Spanish American war Senator Lewis claimed all the glory, If it was glory, or all the ignominy, if it was ignominy, that was to be meted out by his revelation, and ended by say ing: T am the man who ought to bear it under the sacred law of Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesars and give unto God that which is Gods" Whereupon Senator Brande- gee remarked: MT. President, the senator from Illinois having united himself with Caesar and God, I move that the banding resolution be con- sidered." This brought out laugh that even the vice presidents gavel failed to hush quickly. But Senator Lewis instantly flung back a hot re- tort referring to the delicate satire of my eminent friend from Connecticut and the uncalled for explosion of his vitriol vial" While Senator Johnson of California joined in the heckling 1 of Mr Lewis by adding in reference to the embalmed beef episode: "Now i that the anxiety of a waiting and eX-
 pectant people has been relieved, i trust we may proceed with the resolu
 tion," Senator Brandegee got in a few
 more bullseye hits with Lewis as the 1 target

sons and posts are permanent institu- tions and that camps are temporary in their nature. That would seem to put permanent military guard out of the dry zone clause. This has been made plain in past rulings by the judge advocate general when the words military camp" have played an important part in the decision. Civil ian interpretations of the new regula- ton vary greatly and the official in depreciation by the judge advocate general IS something to be watched for. It is understood that the depart ment will probably not reverse it's ruling and that the increased number of guards at any point will not change the status of the plant. But how they vii! regard a purely wartime guard which may have been detailed since the war began is matter of specula tion, for apparently the office of the judge advocate general will wait till specific ruling is officially asked for before making it's opinions public.

Vok kUEHLMANA'S RESIGNA.
 TON,

The resignation of pr. Richard von Kuehlmann as German foreign min ister does not come as a surprise but is in keeping with the indications which were manifested following his speech to the reichstag in which he declared that Germany could not hope to win the war by the sword alone. His res isnation was of course forced. He freed his mind in a way which did not please the powers that be ip Germany and to permit hIm to remain Tn offica would indicate a weakness which could not be tolerated if the pan -Germanic forces are to continue to control
 The inference which is to be gain ed from the resignation. and the one which tte war lcrds intend should be eorve:ed. is that Kuehlmann did not speak for the imperial German gov err rment. What he said represented his attitude and because he chose to set forth a policy, or to hint at ona, which was detrimental to the interests sf the junkers he must go.
 lt is not to be suspected that the declaration Of the foreign secretary HAN any eISSI u4oH I1o dLAed SoN- ernments or that it aroused any false hopes therein. The spreading of any peace propaganda at this time stands no show with the allied nations ex cept that the central powers are will ing to comply with the terms which have been set forth by President Will son, but the dismissal of Dr. von kuehlmann must be regarded as a move on the part of the German war lords to overcome the possible effect of peace talk Tn Germany at this time when the drives with their terrific losses have failed to accomplish what was promised and the conditions among the allies of Germany are any hing but satisfactory.

STRENGTHEN WESTERN FRONT


 This government is not inclined to any policy in relation to Russia which will result in any weakening of the western front. That is supposed to mean that it does not favor the send ing of any troops which are now on or needed at the bartleheids in France to carry on operations in Russia, either through Siberia or from the port of ko!a. That of course is 8 very sen sible position and one which all the allied nations it is believed will agree with. There would be little wisdom in weakening the armies il. front Of the points where the great strength of the enemy is massed Nothing of the kind could be done with safety and it can hardly be believed that any programme involving such move is being contemplated Whether the war is to be decided on the western front or not. it is a point of vital import anee which even now needs to be boI- stered rather than weakened
 But it is to be realized that Japan already has large forces which are not actively engaged and Japan is one of the allies. There are also troops of all the allied nations, including this country. which are available for mak- ing up an allied army for the purpose of giving assistance and protection to Russia. If such could he employed for the awakening Of the spirit Of the Russians and made to demonstrate to the factions in that country that they with the Czeche- -Slovaks who are al- ready fighting. are not fighting Russia put giving Russia the assistance which it needs to regain it's former position tremendous benefit should be se- cured, and indirectly it would strengthen the western front by fore ing Germany to give more attention to l the east.

 Thesee are but two of the many acci- dents that occurred on the various flying fields. It is worth making a note of, however, that these as well as other sensational accidents were due to errors, on the part of the airmen rather than to faults of the machines or mechanism. - Bristol Press.

After thrilling three hours fight with a German submarine, during a heavy thunderstorm, London steamer recently succeeded in escaping, after inficting serious damage on its ad- versary.
 A vivid lightning flash revealed the position of the U-beat after the she'll ing had begun, but succeeding flashes helped the attackers to keep his quarry in view as the captain man oeuvered her in the effort to escape. After two hours the submarine broke off the attack, but just before daylight appeared astern and opened with her second and heavier gun.
 Twenty minutes later the submarine came within range of the steamers s gun, and the third round apparently struck her The Germans, however, increased their fire.
 The British gunners' seventh and eighth shells struck the submarine on the starboard bow, causing her to dive rapidly Ten minutes later she came to the surface, apparently disabled the fore end from the coming tower being under water and the after end high above the surface. Before the Germans could trim the submarine the British vessel succeeded in getting away. During the attack the U-boat fired l 40 rounds, non of which were success full while out of ten shots the British gunners made three hits.

thing to such an extent that the So

forced to expose them as frauds be-
cause they were getting money out

"Ths paper, at time when it was
