WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - "Thc
country should demand the immediate
withdrawal Of all American troops from
Russia and Silesia and the return with
the utmost dispatch of all American
soldiers now serving in Europe" Scna-
tor Arthur Capper declared in a signed
article in "Capper's Weekly" just re-
ceived here
In his article Senator Capper says
in part:
II know Of no other Administration
we have ever had which has done so
much talking about democracy and has
practlsed Executive autocracy to the
limit
For instance, there is no law by
abroad for military service except
through declaration> war by Con
gress. But, law or no law, this is be-
ing done. Just the other day we dis
patched 5000 American troops to Sile-
sia, country with which we are, not
at war.
eve have at this moment between
5000 and 10000 American boys fight
ing In Russia, although we have not
declared war against that country and
have no reason to. Four hundred and
IN one sector and few days ago
twenty-three others were killed in an
other.
"These boys were conscripted for
our war with Germany, but are held
IN Russia against their will and against
their rights as American citizens. and
have been so held for many months
despite their own wishes and the pleas
Of their relatives that they be returned
"Frequent promises to bring these
boys home have finally come down to
this definite statement by the Secrc-
tary Of War:
"'Thcy are not to be released until
volunteers (also to be seat to Russia
without authority from Congress) are
found to take their places
Out of 100000 recruits enlisted by
the War Department just l,03S have
so far expressed willingness to so
to Siberia-a little more than J. per
cent. At this rate our young men now
battling in that country for their eX-
lstence against bullets. disease and
another Russian Winter, may become
graNbeards before they see their home
land again, or be cxterminated bv the
Russian hordes.
Whatever we may think about this,
the country should demand the immc-
diatc withdrawal of all American troops
from Russia and Silesia and the return
with the utmost dispatch of all Amcri-
can soldiers now serving in Europe.
Such legislation is now before Con
gress. If the people will show where
they stand in regard to it it can be
passed by both houses by nearly a
unanimous vote, & vote large enough to
be veto proof. Speed is necessary if
these boys are TO como out of Russia

Of law, | am unable to escape the con-
clusion that tho requirement as to the

tional authority of Congress-"
To the argument that the fixing Of
rates by regulating authority may
be considered only tentative. and that
the rates 80 fixed may be assumed to
be unreasonable if they produce excess
earnings, Judge Hughes holds that
what is q reasonable rate cannot be
determined in this way, which is not

but Of earnings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. The
United States government has not been
Informed Of any decision of the Mexi-
can government to fire on American
aviators flying over Mexican territory,
it was said at the State Department
when attention was called to an Ell
Paso dispatch that such decision had
been reached.
Officials said that Ambassador Bonil-
las before leaving Washington Friday
gave no intimation that any such atti-
tude was likely to be assumed by his
government. He was summoned home
by President Carranza for conference
and is now en- route to Cuarto Cienegas,
where Carranza is staying during the
treatment Of Mrs. Carranza in a hos
pitol there.
Departure of the ambassador led to
discussion in diplomatic circles as to
whether he would come back to this
country. IN some quarters the view
was expressed that he would not be
sent back to Washington until Henry
P. Fletcher, the American Ambassador
to Mexico, returned to the Mexican
capital. Mr.. Fletcher has been on
special duty at tho State Department
for several months and there has been
no announcement as to the probable
time Of his return to Mexico.
