BRUEN|NG TRIUMPH
HEARTENS BERLIN
Four RepuISeS of Reichstag
Opposition Strengthen
Government.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December e.-Four times
today the Bruening government repulsed
the vigorous attack Of the opposition In
the Reichstag and at the end Of the
parliamentary session stood clearly VIC
torious and still at the nations helm.
With SO votes to spare. it defeated q
motion to revoke the chancellor's de-
cree Of drastic financial reforms. BY q
margin of SO votes it put down q mo
confidence" motion. 1t won the edge
Of IS votes on q proposal to table q
motion of confidence ironically offered
by the National Socialists. Finally, al
the end of long day, it got majority
Of u votes against q Communist mo-
ton demanding revocation of the
emergency DEGREES in force since last
June.
Cabinet Ii Stronger.
Thus at the end Of three days de-
bate the only surpi Use which came out
OF the session was the unexpected size
OF the government majority. 1t indi.
catad that Bruening is stronger thar
had been geenrally supposed.
Even the members of the cabinet
themselves were surprised ct the yot1
against revocation Of the financial
decree. They had expected q majority
OF not more than is. They were viSiblS
delighted as they left the Reichstas
Building, not to return until Tuesday
when the session Is to be resumed.
Relief Feeling General.
There was a feeling of general relief
Is this session ended, for nobody wants
Bruening's Job very badly, and no op-
position party really envies the govern.
ment its difficult task.
Now the government is in q position
TO put its financial reforms into full
effect. Some Of these measures are I'm.
popular, particularly those slashi1s
government salaries, but the chancellor
himself, In presenting the measure h
President Won Hindenburg, asserted thai
nothing else would pull Germany out
OF her financial difficulty.
Inc new measures will cut Gernany's
annual expenditures by $345, 900 600
and they will inauRurate the most rigid
economy in every department of boil
the national and state governments.
Germany" said Bruening when he
first presented his decree, must resign
herself to q SPARTAN life for the next
three years. Even If our income in that
period should be greater than we expect
we VIII have to use any such excess tc
pay our debts"

GENEVA. December 6.-Soviet Russia
today refused to participate in the re-
port which the Preparatory Disarma-
ment Commission will submit to the
League Of Nations along with q draft
convention for q future general disarm-
ament conference.
Anatole LunacharSky, the Soviet dele
gate, labeled the draft convention as
both inadequate and sterile" de-
manded the right to have all the So
Wet reservations appended in a sepa-
rate document, and asked that all refer
ence TO Russia's views be stricken from
the report itself.
Calls Report Negative.
He added that as a non-member of
the League, the Soviet government
wished to have nothing to do with q
report which 1t considers strictly
negative.
DR.. J. ]. Loudon, chairman Of the
commission, inquired why the Russians
require different treatment from other
members OF the commission both men,
beers and non-members Of the League
He asserted that it would be impossible
to attach the Soviet reservations In q
separate document.
Backed by Cecil.
Eduardo Cobian of Spain, one of the
reporters for the commission, took the
same view as the chairman, but Lord
Cecil Of Great Britain interposed to
support the Russian request On Lord
Cecils motion each paragraph setting
forth the Soviet attitude was struck out.
As to other business, the commission
tonight approved those parts of the re-
port dealing with limitation Of per-
sonnet and materials.

BODY OF DUNCAN DANA
FOUND ON ISLAND BAR
Former All-America Foot Ball End
and Grandson of Editor Dies
While Hunting.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass, December g.
The body of Duncan Dana, grandson
Of Charles A. Dana, famous New York
editor, was found tonight on Eagle
Island Bar
Dana, former Harvard foot ball star
and All America end in 1914 and
member OF the famous Lafayette
Escadrille, became the object of search
early today when his swamped dory
was found. He had been duck hunting,
it is believed.
Four fishermen found the body at
dusk. 1t had been washed up on Eagle
Island Bar, about 500 yards from where
the dory was found. Police said Dana
evidently had kicked of his shoes In an
endeavor to swim to shore, but high
wind and q heavy sea were too much
for him.
Dana was 40 years old and an cleo
trical engineer. He leaves widow and
three children.

Last nights rainfall of .35 Of an inch

In the hard-hit drought sections
nearby, particularly in the Shenandoah
Valley, about three-quarterS Of an inch
OF rainfall was recorded yesterday,
enough to revive most of the parched
springs and streams throughout that
section and afford substantial relief to
farmers who have been faced with a
tremendous problem of getting water to

ton purposes.

be caused by escape Of war gases, cylin-
ders OF which were reported buried by
the Germans In the neighborhood. With
the rneager information at hand, he
said, 1t seemed more probable that the
heavy fog held in the valley had be-
come perfuSed with poisonous gases
from the great industrial works near
Liege.
DR.. Hrdlicka pointed out, however,
that 1t is far from impossible for q
V1rulent disease unknown to medical
Scribed area and, having gained a foot
hold, spread over q continent. There is
little doubt, he said that the vast world
OF organisms and filterable viruses
responsible for so much human disease
Is subject to the same laws of evolution
as the visible world of life. This leads
TO the presumption, he pointed out
that the micro-organismS themselves
continually are throwing out new
strains, some of which have potential
ties Of terrible virulence.
But these variations must struggle for
existence, the same as variations among
animals. Probably the struggle is even
more intense. They must compete for
food with the vast hordes of already
established micro-organisms. Conse-
have chance to make themselves Mt.
May Explain Plaques.
But, aS among higher animals, occa-
sionally micro-organism variation may
appear in circumstances to which 1t u
better adapted than its rivals and sur
wives as q new race. Some of the great
plaques of history, he believes, may bt
explained by the survival Of micro
organism variations. Thus, he pointed
out, there is no evidence that the or
ganism Of the bubonic plague which
swept Europe in the Middle Ages waS
exactly the same as the organism re-
sponsible for this disease today II
may have been an especially favored
variation which swept everything be-
fore it for q time before the forces Of
evolution had organized TO put 1t in it'
place. Eventually, for no known rea-
son, the disease became far less virulen
and then disappeared from Europe.
Such an emergence Of micro
organism variation, he pointed out
would be expected to first show itself II
a very limited area, such as that nov
swept by the fog fever. But he insists
the evidence in the present case rather
points to a chemical mixture In the al
than to an unknown germ.
