COPENHAGEN, Feb. 26.-The ports
of Libau and Windau, in Courland, on
the Baltic Sea, which were taken by
the Bolsheviki on January 81, have
been recaptured.
Windau was retaken by the Ger

attack after a violent battle, according
to Berlin dispatch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Desperate
efforts by the President to speed up
Congress, especially the Senate, SO that
when adjournment is taken next Tues
day there will be no necessity for an
extra session of Congress, failed to
make any appreciable headway to-day.
Although two conference reports
were adopted by the upper house, and
two appropriation bills were passed and
sent to conference, it was virtually
certain when adjournment was taken
that the following measures would
fail:
|. The naval appropriation bill
providing for a building programme
of ten capital ships and ten scout
cruisers, construction of which shall
not be begun, however, until July 1,
1920. and then only at the discretion
of the President.
Q The army appropriation bill.
g. The confirmation of John Skel-
ton Williams as Controller of the
Currency.
Mild Filibuster Started
There has been no doubt for some
time that Williams would not be con-
tirmed at this session, but tonight It
again was demonstrated. Just after
the Notifications appropriation bill was
passed movement was made to go into
executive session. Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts,, who has been leading
the fight against Williams, prevented
an executive session by threat to
make a point that a quorum was not
present. At the time all the Foreign
Relations Committee Senators had gone
to the White House, and it would have
been impossible to obtain q quorum
without disturbing them.
Mild fiibustering tactics were re-
sorted to by some Of the Republicans,
notably Senator Wesley l.. Jones, of
Washington, from the convening of the
Senate to-day. No report was permit
ted to be printed in "The Congressional
Record without reading. No bill
could be taken up until it had been
read. Usually unanimous consent IS
given TO waive such time-consuming
formalitics
After some evidences of this kind
Senator Hitchcock, who was scheduled
to speak tomorrow on the league of
nations, rose and said he would nol
speak at tho hour set, and would only
speak briefly later. He would not
speak at all, he said, if the press of
business should be such that his speak
ing would cause appropriation bills to
fail.

Senator from Nebraska" retorted Sena-
tor Kellogg, of Minnesota. land the

preparation bills, but simply shove

Demand Debs or Mooney

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Informa-
tion was received to-day from official
sources that every effort by the State
Department to obtain the release of an
American citizen named Kolomatiano
condemned to death by the Bolsheviki,
had been met with demands that either
Eugene V. Debs or Thomas J. Mooney
be exchanged for kolomatiano. It also
was said the Bolsheviki had offered to
release American Consul Townsend.
who was arrested some time ago, if
either Debs or Mooney was pardoned.
The State Department to-day made
pubic this statement, obtained from a
man who was imprisoned with Kolo-
matiano in Moscow:
kolomatano was condemned to
death by the Bolshevik government
on December 3, 1918, and was incar-
cerated IN the Kremlin at Moscow

Minister Morris has been informed by
the Danish Red Cross that an Ameri-
can citizen named Kolomatiano, upon
whom the death sentence had been
passed by the Bolsheviki, is now de-
tanned in the Kremlin in Moscow, the
death sentence having been committed.
The former Bolshevik financial rep
resentative in Norway, who is now in
Petrograd, has submitted to Mr Morris
a proposal from the Soviet government
that it will exchange Kolomatiano and
some other Americans now in prison
for Soviet representatives detained bv

him that have been overlooked by
Baker and some others of the masters
Of dramatic technique. "Arrangc, if
you cam" he told Dyar, "to have a
moment in the middle of your first
act when you have all your people on
the stage and all the threads of the
plot exposed to the audience. Then
you may disperso your people, and
slowly narrow the plot down to the
main ISSUE"
Of course, putting on plays is fun,
but not nearly so serious business
as promoting in Spokane, Wash, to
which Mr.. Dyar returns after. seeing
"a Voice in the Dark" reestablished.
Like the three blind men who ran their
hands over an elephant and who got
81 satisfactory impression Of the nature
of the beast from the part they
touched, each claiming that an ele-
plant was variously trunk, tusk
or a flank, depending on what they
felt, Mr.. Dyar's Impressions of the
prime requisites for dramatic writing
are some ingenuity, great deal of
hustle and cyclonic craftsmanship.
