 Resuming his statement before the Senate Military subcommittee Ansell declared that the inquiries made by the American Bar Association com mittee, Inspector General Chamber lain and the army tribunal headed by Major General Herman, were "biased' and that recommendations in favor of the existing court martial procedure were a foregone conclusion.

 The American Bar Association committee, Mir. Ansell asserted. was hand picked" and stacked" with men known to support the position of NIT. Baker and General Crowder. The boards report. he added, made state ments in defense of existing army court practices which the War De partment previously was afraid to make" and it was approved "1n toto' by Secretary Baker.
 The witness told the committee he also refused to cooperate with the investigation of Inspector General Chamberlain because he believed the Inquiry would be prejudiced.

BELIEF IS HELD THAT KNIGHT WAS
 SAVED BY TUG

New Haven, Aug. 3O-An inquiry into the supposed drowning of John Knight who took Mrs. Gustave GOebel canoeing off the WOOdmont shore Thursday afternoon, developed that the canoe was washed ashore at Woody Crest. and gives rise to sup position that Knight himself may have been picked up by @ vessel bound for New York city. COttagers at Woody Crest stated today that they saw a tug maneuvering off the break water as if to pick up an object and other craft stood by to aid. No par ticular attention was paid to the in cident. Later the canoe came ashore. In it were a paddle and a sandwich. Knights family say he took a lunch to eat while canoeing.
 Mrs Goebel has partly recovered from her experience. While insisting there were two other women in the craft who had checked their street clothes and dOnned bathing suits, this clothing has not been found and no women are reported to be missing. She recalls little about the upset of the canoe. merely that without warning she saw Knight swimming and then she waas in the water. If Knight was strength aiding Mrs. Goehel to lock her arms about the paddle which kept her afloat for a considerao ole time.

|. .0DGE BLINDED BY PARTISANSHIP
 SAYS SEN. OWEN
Oklahoma Democrat Scores Anti Treaty Leader
 Today.

Washington, Aug 3o-Re plying in the Senate today to arguments pre- scnted by Chairman Lodge, of the rarclsn relations committee against uureservod ratification of the peace treaty. Senator owen. Democrat, oklahoma, declared Mir. Lodge had been blinded by partisanship and by Q distrus- uf popular institutions.
 Referring to Senator Lodges par aIleI between the League of Nations and the lU-famed Holy Alliance. he s1Ld the argument had overlooked the intrigue and sehshness which sur rounded the alliance.
 'The fact that wars followed the treaty of the Holy Alliance" he con truod, was because this treaty was between military dynasties made by r-ouarChiaI autoCracies, each held by intrigue. The Senator from Massa- chusetts believes that the promises of these royal scoundreIs may be justly compared with the promises and as- u.ratons of the honest. organized Ucuocracies of the world
 The trouble with the Senator from Massachusetts is that he really be- Eeve# in the rule of Jle few over the many. He does not .,elievs the peo- n. ought to have the right to in- ltlta laws they want or veto laws they do not want. He looks upon tneu -v.th less confidence than he did rha military autocraCies, for the Sen o'or favored a league in 1915. when the autocracies were in full flower
 The galleries always applaud Then a senator strikes an oratorical pose and thundars forth his sturdy Ameri- cauism. But the Senator's American ism did not prevent him from making hu argument at Union College in 1915 t0 favor of n League Cf Nations. Am J going too far if l appeal from Philip Drunk Co Philip Sober?
 "FIe is not. as he thinks. waEing a war against Woodrow Wilson. He is- wagluE a war against the desires and rhe hopes of all mankind. Let him beware of throwing himself and his blinded partisans across the path of righteous judgment of mankind"

 took place on August 2 and was per- formed by the Rev. Clarence J liar ris, of the Washington Heights Uni versalist church. New York city MT. and Mrs. won Hoegen are now spend ing their honeymoon in New York city.

 Prof. Rusby who lives in Newark,
 N. J., was close personal friend and
 helper of Von Hoegen and his daugh-
 ter in this manner became acquainted
 with him. She is described as a young
 woman of striking beauty who sym
 pathized with him in his alleged pro- German methods and utterances. and she several times visited him while he
 was confined in the Hartford jail on treason charges.
 Miss Rusby and von Hoegen are
 said to have met while the former was studying at Colum bia.
 When it was first reported that von Hoegen was married. and the rumor hazarded that he might have wed Miss
 Macdonald, with whom his name was connected in his alleged activities against the government, United States Marshal MiddlebroOks of Hartford who had charge of vOn Hoegen while he was confined in the jail, said he did not believe his wife was Miss Macdon- aid, but rather Miss Rusby, who, he i said, had visited von Hoegen in Hart. ford with her brother. and later alone 1 She impressed those who met her. ne said. with her striking personality and her apparent sympathy with von Hoe i gen, not only in his plight Lut in his attitude toward the government. !

$500 TEMPORARY OFFICERS STAY
 IN THE ARMY
Congress Approves Plan Until 1920 and Votes
 Money.

Washington. Aug. 3O-The threat ened crisis in the army which would have been brought about through a shortage in officers, If provisions of the Army Appropriation bill reducing the strength of the army should re main in effect. is believed to have been averted through the action of the House late yesterday in passing the Senate bill authorizing the re- tcntion of 18.0OO officers on the ac- tive list of the army until 1920.
 There are $500 regular officers on the active list and the bill will per init the retention at an extra cost of S12.5OO,OOO of about $500 officers who were appointed for emergency duty only. Without such legislation all emergency officers would have been discharged from the army by Sept .c. 1919.
 The cost of the plan which the army now has is S6,5OO, ,OOO, ,OOO. and If no legislation were enacted per -nftt'nC the War Department 10 re- tain the services of about $500 emcr- Eency officers, it is contended .t would have been absolutely impossi- ble to take care of this plan.

4O,O00 GERMANS IN FULL. WAR EQUIPMENT
 DEFY ALLIED ORDERS
OCCUPY LITHUANIA ON PRETENCE OF AIDING KOLCHAK'S FORCE TALK
 OPENLY or ALLIANCE WITH
 RUSSIANS AND JAPANESE.

Paris, Thursday, Aug. 2S- A modernly equipped German army of 10000 men with 200 aeroplanes has assembled in Lithuania and is preparing to march into Russia under the pretense of endeavoring to reach and help Admiral Kol- chak according to Lithuanian sources here.
 Word 10 this effect was brought to Paris by Chief Engineer Steibiko, of the Lithuanian railway system, who declared the Germans talked freely of a coming understanding between Germany, Russia and Japan. He said that the large German force which had reoCcupied Lithuanian territory, from which they have been several times ordered away by both the Lithuanian government and Marshal Foch, were entrenching themselves and making preparations for march through Russia. They called them selves "Kolchakis' and pretended that their immediate object was to
  ntiraTs forces.
 Tho Germans had partly evacuated the region, but since August l, ac- cordinE to M. Steibiko. they have been concentrating troops anew in western Lithuania, with Their base at Shavli. where they also have estab- lished a general staff. Their line of occupation from north to south is Vilkovishki in the mouth of the Dv- bissa river, thence to Radvilshkis and on to Janishltis.
 They are under the Ostensi1Dle lead ership of the Russian General Berg mann, but their real commander M. Steibiko declared. is the German Gen. eral Won Der Goltz. They control the railway lines in all the occupied terri tory They number S7,00o Germans and 5000 Russians, all wearing Ger man uniforms.
 The Germans serving in this army called themselves volunteers, said the engineer, and claimed allegiance to the all Russian government, thus claiming to be exempt from orders issued by Marshal Foch or the inter allied council. Numerous Russian prisoners he declared. were being sent from Germany to join the army at Shavlt while in the way of equip ment for the army the Germans had brought 3sO airplanes, 100 automobiles and one armored train into the terri ] tory. Although the Lithuanian govern mnt at Kovno had sent many notes to the Germans demanding their with drawal and the allied officials had or dered them out they had paid no at tention to the demand, he added.
