 SAVED RUSSIA
British War Secretary Declares Otherwise BOlsheviki Would
 Control.
(By The Associated Press.)

London, July 29.-A full attend ance of the house of commons this afternoon heard Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary of war, explain the governments Russian policy, which the Liberals and labor union ists both have been strongly attack ing recently.
 Ut would be a great mistake to condemn the policy of the allied pow, CTS in regard to this movement,' sad Colonel Churchill. 'It was as an essential war measure in the war against Germany that the allies de- cided to occupy Archangel and Mur- mansk. It has achieved greater re- suits than ever were hoped for"
 Speaking on the general situation Colonel Churchill said Admiral Kol- chak's and General Denikine's armies hardly existed a year ago, but that now they were considerable in num- bers and were engaging 3O0,OOO bol- sheviki. :,
 Colonel Churchill contended that failure to support Kolchak and Deni- kline would have allowed the bolshee- wiki to grow in strength, which would have fatally deranged the balance o1 Europe.

 Senator Sherman charged MT; Densmore with official mendaclty bv writing letters last May in which Mir. Sherman said, MT. Densmore de- nied that any one connected with the employment service had anything to do with the Mooney case.
 Representative Blanton, in his ex- tension of remarks asserted that Fremont Older, published of the San Francisco Call, was quasi anarchist and was first to publish Densmore's report on the Mooney case
 "As may be reasonably deducted from Fremont Older's testimony De- fore the grand jury and other facts' this whole Densmore dictagraph ln- stalled was frame up pure and sim, ple by Densmore, Fremont Older and other anarchist sympathizers to create public sympathy in favor of Mooney" said Blanton.
 Blanton also declared that MT fDensmore's statement that Mooney did not get fair trial was false, add ing that Densmore's report did not contain a single fact proving unfair mess in the Mooney trial,

Chicago, July 29.--Despite fresh outbreaks tonight in the Chicago race war, city officials at midnight pro- fessed themselves satisfied with what the police were doing and several thousand state troops remained in armories. At that hour, the death list totalled 27, two negroes an dtWo whites having been killed during the evening and another negro having died of wounds received Monday. The injured list had been swelled by un- counted scores and several of the wounded may not survive.

 The first pitched battle of the night occurred at 35th and South State streets, one of the centers of trouble since the first rioting Sunday.

 Immediately there was rush of blacks and policemen to the wreck. The police could not push the enrag- ed negroes away, and opened fire,

N. Y. REPUBLICAN SAYS FLETCHER
 WAS NOT FAIR
Gould Declares Ambassador Not Willing to ''Put Cards On
 Table,"

Washington, July 29.-In memor- andum submitted today to the house committee, Representative Gould, republican, New York, author of the resolution proposing congressional investigation of Mexican affairs, declared that Ambassador Fletcher twas not willing to put the cards on the table for the state department" when he testified before the com mittee last week.
 "It is very clear" declared Gould's memorandum, "that MT. Fletcher himself has not been permitted to penetrate the veil of secrecy with which the state department has per sistently clouded the Mexican prob lem, and that whether direction or not. Mir. Fletcher performed his duty in Mexico and here with his eyes closed and his ears stopped, except to the official representations of the existing government of Mexico"
 Conclusions regarded by MT. Gould as "unescapable after careful read ing of MT. Fletcher's testimony in the light of generally known facts," were set forth in the memorandum as fol- lows:
 Carranza and his government were placed in power by less than two per cent of the population of Mexico. Carranza's rule is that of small armed force over unarmed citizenrv Carranza's control is confined to ports, a few large interior cities and territory immediately adjacent to three railroad lines. while in the rest of the country his forces are unable to maintain order.
 !; Carranza's regime is directly the cause for hardships on Mexicans and 1 foreigners, for paralysis of industry 1 and for organization of government I by loot.
 The Carranza regime virtually had
 repudiated all international obliga. tions.
 In treatment of foreigners. Ameri.
 cans are particularly discriminatec
 against by Carranza's government
 with German residents marked by
 speical favor from it.
 l The Carranza government is hos
 tile and contemptuous toward the
 neople and government of the United States.
 While maintaining nominal neu
 trality during the war, the Carranzs
 government consistently permitted it.
 self to be tool of German propa ganda in Mexico.
 The state departrent at present 1insofar as MT. Fletcher was able tt ltell the committee, has no definite Iview as to what changes in policy knight be beneficial. nor apparently
 any intention of changing it's pres

House Votes Against Pr0longa- tion, But Also Votes Against
 Adjournment.
FIST FIGHT OCCURS
 IN SENATE CHAMBER
Madison County Men, Holding Oppos- ing Views on Road Act, Put Up Fast One Round
 Bout.

Little Rock, July 29.-After a fill buster which lasted all through the afternoon session, the senate Tuesday afternoon just before adjourn ment voted to extend the ses- sion until Saturday at noon for the purpose of considering remedial local road legislation alone. The senate surprised itself on the vote, demonstrating that the all afternoon filibuster was unnecessary, as 24 votes for the extension, and only 5 against The filibuster was for the purpose of allowing Senator Creed Caldwell to drive from Pine Bluff, but Senator Caldwell had failed to arrive at the time of adjournment and consequently did not participate in the voting.
 The senate today voted to continue it's session until noon Saturday to consider highway legislation and other matters. The house voted against extending the session but also voted down a motion to adjourn sine die and finally adjourned until tomorrow.
 Conferences were being held to- night in an effort to induce members of the house to vote to extend the session until Saturday. The general belief appeared to be that this would be accomplished.

 Senator Creed Caldwell was called home yesterday by, the illness of his son, Met Caldwell, who is seriously i'll with malaria. Senator Caldwell received a phone call from Senate President McFerrin yesterday after noon, asking him to return and vote for extension that road acts might be rectified. Senator Caldwell point ed out the senate cannot extend the session without the house doing like wise, and informed MT. McFerrin that as soon as the house voted fav- orably he would return to Little ROCK. "I have no objection to extension to enable some of the senators to recti- fly road acts," said Senator Caldwell last night

 Scandal. it3

New York, July 29.-Scores of in- stances of brutal treatment of Ameri- can soldiers in prison camps of France, described in some cases as amounting to a system of torture, re- sponsibility for which was placed by the witnesses on high army officers, were related today before the congress sional subcommittee which is investi- gating the disciplinary system of the A.

TURKS MAKE PLEA
TO SAVE EMPIRE
Council Of Ten Receives Peace
Mission to Learn of
Conditions.

PARIS, June 1.-THE Council Of Ten
Of the Peace Conference received the
Turkish peace mission in the cloak room
Of the Quail d'orsay this morning. The
Turkish delegation. headed by Danad
Ferid Pasha, the Grand vizier. motored
from vaucresson accompanied by French
officers.
The ottoman representatives are hero
purely in the capacity Of experts, and to-
days meeting was for the purpose of
setting forth the Turkish situation to the
conference.
The meeting was an Informal one.
The members Of the council arrived one
by one. The Turks were clad in conven-
tional morning clothes and wore fezes.
The meeting, which was q secret one.
lasted an hour. At it's close the Turkish
representatives returned to Vaucresson
under escort
The enemy status of the mission was
emphasized by its entering through and
departing by different doors from the
members Of the council.
In his address to the Councillors the
Turkish Grand vizier pleaded that the
Turkish people were not to blame for
ule war. ne uTEeu tnht tHc bHpTo DC
permitted TO remain intact In both Eu-
rope and Asia. He promised to submit
memorandum to the council on Fri
day.
Premier Clemenceau rs president OF
the conference stated that upon receipt
OF this memorandum the council would
make reply.
Members of the Council of Ten were
seated when the Turkish delegates en-
tered the room. Premier Clemenceau
addressed the conference briefly. He re-
minded the Turkish delegates that the
audience had been granted at their re-
quest so they might state their case
The Turkish Grand vizier in his state
ment said his country had been com.
mitted through secret agreements with
the former German Emperor. against the
wishes Of the Turkish people, by the
Committee OF Union and Progress.
The Turks also exonerated the Sultan
from all responsibility for the war, and
urged that he be permitted to remain in
Constantinople. saying Asia Minor had
been reduced to n desert by the war.
The Entente attitude toward Turkey
still remains n mystery. The great
Powers have not announced whether
they consider Turkey actually Exists,
and refuse to say whether a treaty
will be negotiated with the Ottoman
empire. They maintain that the pres
ent conference is only for the purpose
OF learning Turkeys position.

PERIL In HASTE is
WARNING TOLABOR


from. which the radical masses seemed
to forget.
The convention reiterated the platform
OF government based upon democratic
principles, or upon the principle of ma
Jority rule. which the Independents and
Communists were inclined to abandon on
the implied theory that the bourgeoisie
really should not be included among
people of influence. The leadership OF
the members or the government over the
neiegates was shown best in the manner
mat the opposition was subjected to the
steamroller process
Predict Party's Overthrow.
Disgruntled delegates freely predict
tnat the Social Democratic party of Ger
many, known as the Majority Social
lists. has committed suicide In this con-
vention through its conservatism and its
reproving attitude toward the masses.
Phe secretary's report shows n party

-FOUR newspapers, with a total of 1,7O6.-
227 subscribers, as against only s47,SO0
year ago. In Berlin the Majority So
cialists lost 1900 members to the Inde-
pendents and Communists.
There was a sharp contrast between
this meeting and the national conyen-
lions In the United States. This was
more of family AFFAIR many of the
delegates bringing their wives both
roughly or even negligently dressed, the
women often only in calico, as IL they
had just come from their kitchens.
Eating and drinking were the chief di-
version. An American cartoonist's inn
preston of the delegate would be a man
with chunk of black bread In one hand
and a bottle OF beer in the other.
The foyer, the beautiful white and gold
court Of the theatre, was like a picnic
place, the delegates and their wives COM
Ing In with sandwiches and boiled eggs
wrapped In newspapers, to=wistch they
added beer bought at the lunch counter.
There were counted seventeen bottles on
one table and ten on another.
To the American perhaps the deepest
impression of the proceedings was the
absolute subordination Of the people to
their party. On one occasion. by actual
count, the party, its aims and its goal,
was mentioned thirty-two times, the
German people twice and the country
rot at all. The general public had alb
solutely no interest In the convention: at
