Senator Harrison said that he had
no apologies to make. and that he
thought that the democratic party
was In good shape to renew the fight
for the principles for which it has

that all elements of the democratic

fight.
"If there have been some demo-

BRITAIN MAY SEVER
JAPANESE ALLIANCE
SHES at Renewal of Pact
Which Might Involve Her
in War With U. S.
BY WILLIAM G. BUTLER.

Cross Atlantic Cable Service to The Star.
LONDON. November 6-As the nego-
tiations progress between Britain and
Japan for renewal of the AngIo-Jap-
anese alliance it appears more and
more clearly that Britain is guarding
against an alliance which might in
volve her in a war against the United
States. In fact. the inside informa-
tion from the negotiations is that
she is taking an attitude which is in
reality a. formal warning to japan
be found aligned on the side of the
United States.
The chances are becoming increas-
ingly greater that Great Britain NAV
not renew the Anglo-Japanese agree
ment. I learn that this is due NOT
only to opposition from the colonies
especially the Dominion of Canada
but also to the feeling in admins
trative circles that the agreement was
originally designed against Russia
and has outlived its usefulness. 40
far as Great Britain is concerned.
Tnere has been recent agreement
between the imperial government and
the colonies that If the pact is re-
newed there must be material changes
In circles supposed to be in the know
here, these changes are said to in
clude an agreement by the Japanese
to what might be termed anti-Jan-
anese immigration legislation by Aus
tralia and Canada. Japan must also
swallow other legislation so distaste-
ful to her. under the new terms. that
1t is expected she herself will refuse
a renewal of the covenant.
If the treaty is renewed, however
I'm told, there is a clause, though
somewhat vague, which provides that
Britain will not aid Japan in the event
of war with America. A cIause
which was added in 1911. when Britain
expected to complete one of the
Bryan treaties. which the American
Senate failed to ratify, is now to he
strengthened. Britain, after the treaty
of 1914. which she held pledged the
two English-speaking nations to arbi-
trate their possible differences. point.
ed out to Japan. that this relieved her
OF any liability to support Japan in
case Of war with America. Japan is
understood to have acQuiesced in this
to limited degree, but it is now nm
derstood that if the treaty is renewed
Japan must come the whole way and
leave no loophole to involve Britain
in her possible controversies with
America.
In fact. the attitude of the domin-
ions is such on anti-Japanese lePis-
lation, that the empire would not he
surprised soon to be in the same posi-
tion as the states.

AMERICAN MISSION
CAPTURED BY REDS
Taken When Soviets Swoop
Down on AIexievka-Iden-
,tity Unknown Here.

LONDON, November 6.-An Ameri-
can mission in south Russia has fall
len into the hands of the soviet forces.
according to the Moscow newspaper
Pravda, as quoted in a wireless dis
patch today from the soviet capital.
The mission. says the newspaper. was
headed by Gen. Morel."
The Pravda reported the incident
in recording details Of the bolshevik
attack upon the forces of Gen. Baron
Wrangel. The paragraph concerning
the mission reads:
"At Alexievka station. which was
taken without a shot, an American
mission fell into our hands. at the
head of which was Gen. Morel, who
had the task of combating bandits in
the white army
State and War department officials
said today they had no knowledge OF
any official American mission being
within the war zone in southern Rus
sia Neither had any report been re-
ceived by the two departments of a
mission falling into the hands of the
soviet forces.
The suggestion was made unofi-
cially that the Gen. Morel' reported
by the Moscow newspaper Pravda as
having been captured by the boil
sheviki might be either a French Of
fiCer commanding Qetacnment IN the
Wrangel army or NJ. de Martel, CHIEF

into the Crimea and accredited to
Wrangel. The French embassy, how
ever has received no report concern
ing the incident and expressed doubt
that their diplomatic mission had got
ten into such position as to make pos
sible it's capture.
The only official American mission
in Russia is that at Sebastapol.
So far as known the only American
mission now in the Crimea is an Ameri-
can Red Cross unit of about a dozen
members. commanded by Maj. George
H. Ryden of Kansas City, Mo. There
also is an American naval and diplomat
mission under Rear Admiral Newton A.
McCully, representing the State De-
partment, but the activities of this mis-
sion have been confined largely to the
Black sea area. 1t is possible. however.
that one or more of its representatives
have been attached to Gen. Wrangers
army as observers.
The Red Cross mission has been oper-
ating in southern Russia for more than
year. and has supplied ambulances,
surgical dressings and other needed
articles to the Russian volunteer army.
On the invitation of Gen. Wrangel sey-
eral members of the mission have ac-
companied the army in it's operations in
the Crimea. The headquarters of the
mission is at Sebastapol.

DEBS' PARDON
BY PRESIDENT
HELD UNLIKELY

President Wilson is understood to
have no intention Of pardoning
Eugene V. Debs. who is serving a
ten years sentence in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta for viola
tion of the espionage act.
The position taken by the Presi-
dent, according to those who pro-
fess to know his views. is that ex-
ecutive clemency in such a case
would set bad precedent and
would encourage others to oppose
the government in the event of
another war.

and disloyalty in the military and

DESIRING HEAT,

HEALTH OFFICIAL

Complaints that some apartment
house owners are not providing
heat have been filed with the
health department this week. Health
Officer Fowler said today.
Although the health officer does
not believe he has authority under
existing law to compel landlords
to start a fire. he is endeavoring in
the cases referred to him to induce
the owners to turn on the heat.
There is a section in the health
department regulations which
gives the health officer authority
to see that landlords equip their
buildings with proper heating ia
cilities, but makes no reference to
authority to compel the building
of a fire.
DR.. Fowler said that in his opin-
ion houses should be heated to
sixty-eig or seventy degrees.
