William J. Burns. chief of the De-
partment of Justices bureau OF in

slept peacefully last night as result
OF having one worry, over being "shot

Judge John G. Knox in the Federal
District Court obliged the detective

most recent and vituperative threat
ener to the observation ward i'll Belle
vue Hospital. after the court had read
two letters which the prisoner wrote
to Wr. Burns on December 21.
The prisoner was Bradford Web
ster, lawyer, with Offices at 1ll
Broadway. He was arrested last month
Tor uslAg the mails to ask the chief
some unprintable questions, but was
considered harmless and released Mr..
burns was not so sure when he read
his mail the next morning. however,
for it contained two disturbing com
munications from Webster.
The next time any rotter agents
from the Department of Justice are
sent out to make false arrests" the
hrst OF them read, "thcy will be trailed
until they are shot down like dogs, to-
gether with those who direct such civil
war and treason"

ment and fcT the names of the rot

Mr.. Burns turned the letters over to
his investigators here, who took Web

LONDON. Jan. 6-Whle Premier
Lloyd George is holding the center of
the stage at the Supreme Council meet
ing at Cannes, events in England arc
moving rapidly toward full blown
political crisis This situation, how
ever, is subject to quick changes and
the outcome either oc the Dali Erearn's s
deliberations or the Cannes conference
nay affect it.
Sir George Youngcr's violent opposi
ton to the proposed general elections
is held in many quarters to portcnd a
break away Of the Unonst party from
the Coalition, should the Premier force
ballot, but on the other hand it seems
equally reasonable to suppose that it
may mean split in the Conservative
party as broad as that among the Lib
erals in 1918.
If tire latter view is accepted the way
is open for the realization Of the
widely held belief that Lloyd GEORGE
with new Center party drawn from
his supporters of 10Th Liberal and
Conservative shades. While it is an
nounced that Austen Chamberlain sup
ports Sir George Younger, little is said
OF the position of Lord Birkenhcad and
Andrew Bonar Law. and weli-informcd
opinion tends to place these powerful
Conservatives in alignment Wit, the
Premier.
1t is now definitely established that
the lntlmatlon, Of coming election
~, y,
time ago emauated from men close to
Lloyd George If Lloyd George meant
them as trial balloons. he certainly has
found out which way the wind blows.
II he advanced them as forerunncrs Of
his own lntention, it means that he is
prepared to try to force the Conscrva-
tives to submit TO his will or smash
the party.
At any rate. the Premier has forced
the Unlonists into The open. with the
only danger to himself being that if he
now unduly delays calling the election
1T VIII appear to the country, unless he
cXtrlcates himself very adroitly, that
he is under Conservative domination.
The Labor and independent Liberal
leaders evidently nlacc crcdcncc in the
talk of an early election, for they are
rushing prepa rations. It was reported
this morning that it was the Prcmer's
intention to call for q vote on February

week or so. for on January 10 Cham

Outlining the plans. Mueller said:
"Our first aim Will be TO restore rail

Russia, for only in this way can work
of any consequence be begun there. Wc
are now trying to interest J. p. Nor
gun & Go. in the formation Of n Ger

this purpose There is no hope of
restoration Of Europe and Germany by
means Of d. omatic conferences. Even

"Rcccntly there have been strong in
oications that France and England were
aiming to gain control in the leader
ship in this tremendous task OF re
habiIitating Russia We believe such
leadership would be beneficial neither
to Russia nor Germany. We believe
both of them would derive tho greatest
benefit from German, Russian and
American cooperation in this work
Therefore, VIC have conceived this
plan"
Negotiating for Concessions
Mueller declares his organization is
conducting negotiations with Tchit-
cherin and Krassin, the Soviet officials
for large concessions for the rcstora-
uon OF Russian industry. as we'll as tho
exploitation cf mines and other natural
resources.
According to the plan, the Germans
arc to supply the machinery and tho
skilled labor. while J. 7. Morgan & Co..
and perhaps other American financial
concerns. are to supply the cash. No
concessions will be accepted Mueller
declares, without previously obtaining
the consent of tho former Russian
owners. who would he amply repaid for
their properties, either directly or
through share of the future profits.
