The former Kaiser's periods OF 10

Soviet Demonstration Has
Little Effect in Other
European Lands.

Paris, July 22.-Austria appeared to-
day to have been the worst sufferer
from yesterdays international strike
movement. called in sympathy with
the Soviet governments. In other
European countries. the effect of the
poletarian plans were comparatively
light.
Vienna advices reported the strike
had assumed a nationwide character,
paralyzing transportation and the
lighting and water systems.
In France, official cancellation of
strike plans was generally observed.
The threatened railroad strike in
Italy was declared officially to have
have been complete failure. In
Great Britain, the coal mine situation
appeared to be critical. with 200, oOo
workers out in the Yorkshire district,
but the strike was not associated
with the proletarian movement.
Sporadic strike difficulties were re-
ported from Germany. Berlin was
without transportation and light.

Investigation Is Needed.

Ambassador Henry p. F1etchers re-
cital of conditions in Mexico before
the House Rules Committee yesterday
fully justifies a Congressional investi-
cation of the Mexican situation. the
majority leaders declared last night.
The Republicans would not be
quoted pending a final decision in the
matter. but privately they expressed
the unanimous opinion that an ex-
haustive inquiry is demanded in the
interest OF American rights and the
re-establishment of law and order in
Mexico.
The Ambassador admitted that fifty
one Americans have been murdered
since his arrival in Mexico-March 5.
1s11-and in reply to a blank
question by Chairman Campbell he
confessed that he could not recall
one case in which a Mexican has been
prosecuted for and convicted OF the
murder of an American citizen.
Questions by Republican members
OF the committee left no doubt as
to how they view the matter. Chair
man Campbell said:

Precedent in Decision of

Refusal of a seat In Congress to

into Berger's qualifications yester-
day.
His conduct is consistent with the
policy of his party" he said. IF he

the citizens of his district, and he
would return again with as large
or larger a vote. even after this con-
