fragrant violation of law"
 MT. Graham declared that the pres ident created the Secret government by ignoring and reversing the intent of congress in authorizing the estab- lishment of a council of national de- fense in August, 1916.
 Behind closed doors, weeks and even months before war was de- clared," he said these seven men de- signed practically every war measure which congress subsequently enacted. They devised the entire system of purchasing war supplies, planned a press censorship, designed a system of food control, and selected Herbert Hoover as its director, and even deter mined on the daylight saving scheme.
 Conceived within the law, but brought into existence in absolute violation of law, it is noted surprising g to find that this government of the United States itself consistently ignor- ed and even violated the law; that

Violent Swaying of Liner Prevents Overhauling
 of Her Big Engines.

Mineola, \. Y., July 7-The R-34 was torn from her moor ings rope this morning by violent gust of wind. The cross girder to which the rope was attached broke under the strain, ripping hole six feet by three feet in the gas bag. The giant dirigible was saved from being blown away by three hundred men who seiz- ed ropes hanging from her sides and held her down with great difficulty.
 The breeze stifened as the sun rose and the American army balloon me- chanics had all they could do to hold the mammoth airship. As she swayed in the wind the clinging mon were swept off their feet in relays.
 Immediately after the accident Major Scott climbed into the forward gondola and inspected the damage. He announced later that the rip in the gas bag could easily be mended. One explanation of the parting of the mooring rope by the dirigible's officer was that the rising sun had So eX- banded tho hydrogen in the gas bag that the lifting effect had been in creased by eight tons.
 Major Scott announced definitely at noon that the R-3f would start on its return journey at o'clock to- morrow morning, flying over Boston. The R-S4 will not circle New York before turning east, he said.
 Major Scott announced later that an effort would be made to shape the R-34s course that it would pass over the George Washington, which is bringing President Wilson home
 The commander of the R-34 based his announcement of the starting hour on the assumption that the wind, which at the time was blowing between 20 and 25 miles an hour, would die down later il the day and so permit the refueling of the dirigi- ble.
