ADJUSTING AMERICAN | CLAIMS. AGAINST GERMANY

Washington, Nov. 1.-The mixed claims commission to adjust American claims against Germany arising out of the war got preliminaries out of the way today and will begin tomorrow the task of arranging the mass of claims for or derly consideration. -Today's. session, the first at which Dr. William Kiesselbach German commissioner, was present, was confined to an exchange of courtesies with Justice Day. 'upmire of any dis putes that may arise, presiding.
 In opening the: session, Justice Day welcomed the German representatives and Judge Edwin B, Parker, American commissioner, followed, while Dr. Kiessel- bach expressed his appreciation for the reception giyens himself and colleagues.
 Robert c. Morris, in charge of the pres entation of the claims to the commission as American agent, outlined the system he proposed to follow and invited the cooperation of Karl Won Lewinski, the GermanS Sagent, which was promised.
 The commission met in the state de- partment but will take up its actual la l bors tomorrow in the offices provided for it in neighboring building, where state department files dealing with American claims already have been installed. It | is assumed that rules of arbitration founded on diplomatic precedent will be adopted tomorrow and preparation of specific claims for presentation to the commission will follow,
 The nature of the claims is varied, 1 including many cases of loss of Ameri- can lives at sea prior to American entry into the war: Every part of the country is represented among the claimants, al- though the bulk of them -centraIize along the eastern Seaboard, particularly in New
 York city.
 As the claims divided themselves naturally into several general groups, il :, is expected they will be taken up by groups, although each must be disposed
 of Independently. What data with re- spect to the claims the German commis, siener brought with him is not known
 but it is regarded es probable that many matters must be referred to Berlin from time to time and the length of time | 1 will take to reach a final settlement | eAnnot be forecast. s

Washington, Nov. i.-While less than nne-half of the candidates for the senate have filed campaign expense statements, according to the count made today by clerks. candidates for the house are still sending their reports at the rate of al most zoo a day. Tn the midst of the confusion as 10 provisions of the law, the one, fact that stands out clearly is hat ho1se candidates must file, now ana after tho Election.
 The view was expressed by some senate officials that many candidates for that branch might accept the interpretation of the supreme court decision in the New perry case by Attorney General Daugh- erty that they were not required to file. In a letter last year to Representative Luce, republican, Massachusetts, the at torney general, answering specific in auiry as 10 the effect of the Newberry decision, said:
 "As United states senators are not now elected by legislatures of the states as contemplated in the act. it Is my opin- ion that this fact in connection with the holding in the Newberry decision, makes 1t unnecessary for candidate for United States senator to file any statement what ever In connection with his nomination or election.
 Mfr. Daugherty coHtended that the only provision of the election law now in force and effect Is the one which requires such statements to be filed in connection with the election of c9ndidates for the house.
 M M. Neely, democratic nominee for nnator in west Virginia, in sending to- day his statment wrote that "despite the ruling of the attorney general that it was, unnecessary for senatorial candi- dates to make reports to the secretary . af the senate" he was sending his along -out of an abundance of caution" MT Neely said he received contributions of Si,5I7 and had spent $2,159. Senator Sutherland, of that state, who is seeking to hold his seat. reported the expendi' ture Of s220.
