Leaders believed it would be voted on tomorrow. The principal opposition came from dem- ocratic members, notably Senators Reed, Hollis and Gore. Senator Williams, declaring it was well for the senaté to hear what the country thinks, denounced obstruc- tionists. “It is a time to forget party align- ments,” he sald, “and I am glad to eay that a majority of both the dem- ocrats and republicans have done so, but there is a small group on both sides who have formed themselves into an anti-administration and anti- American party.” Consciously or un- consciously, he said, they had put themselves into the attitude of op- posing everything that goes to carry on the war. “It is time for the ma- Jority of the democratic and repub- lican members to get together to say to the two little groups ‘you have danced your ballet you have sung your song. America is tired of you; we are tired of you; and want you to do something.’ Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson all are setting examples. All three have proved their Americanism. They are tired, the country is tired, the house is tired and two-thirds of the senate is tired of this constant. gabfest—this constant gabbing about nothing. We’re lagging through the dog days, making everybody nervous, and tired. We talk on this bill that isn’t changing a vote. Why take up the time of the American people with this?” . Awaiting the president’s signature. today were bills to increase the In- terstate Commerce Commission from geven to nine and to authorize the president, through the commission or some other agency of his choosing, to prescribe what commodities are most essential to the war’s prosecution and to order common carriers to give perference to their tramsportation.

SOLDIERS Severe Tests to Be Made to Encourage Sammies in Action. American Training Camp in France, Aug. 7. (By the Assoclated Press.)— The issuance of French gas masks to the American soldiers has brought them a little nearer to the realization of their proximity to real The men are looking forward to the gas experiments with the greatest possible interest as giving a touch of adventure’to their training. When the so-called *“gas house” is completed the men will be put through a mixture of & deadly vapor several times stronger than will ever be encountered upon the fleld of battle. Some German prisoners have claimed that in their training they have endured periods of from five to ten minutes In a gas mixture 50 times as strong as could possibly be maintained in an open air attack. The men are put through these intense mixtures to demonstrate to them that with proper care and use of the equipment they cannot be hurt by any gas likely to be encountered in the front line trenches. It is a most important branch of the 'modern training of a soldier that he should be convinced that there ae many methods of effectively dealing with the terrors of later day warfare; that careless, slovenly and unheeding soldiers are the ones first to succumb. It 1s even demonstrated to the soldiers that the terrifying liquid fire can be avolded except In most isolated cir- cumstances. Lectures are being arranged for the officers, then for the men, for in gas training officers have to go through identlcal drills and experiences. Ten seconds will be the outside limit allowed for the adjustment of helmets after the gas alarm has been sounded. The increasing use of gas shells from the longest range guns makes the carrying of masks far back of the line an imperative necessity. The first traces of gas polsoning are a hot mouth and f{rritation of the throat. Despite proof that the Allies have so often produced to the cantrary, the terrible death allled soldiers died when this hideous mode of warfare was first sprung upon unsuspecting foes by the high command of the German army is attested by many allied soldiers. The substances they assert exert stupifying action and after long ex- posure have an asphyxiating effect. Under their influence vision is affected. A man subjected to it is forced to close his eyes in a few seconds and can observe nothing. WOMAN’S BODY FOUND BURIED IN QUICKLIME ‘Warrant Issued for Farmer in Whose Cellar Corpse Is Discovered— Missing Since Crime. La Cross, Wis.,, Aug. 7.—The dis- covery of the body of Mrs. Cora Mil- ler, buried in quicklime in the cellar of Edwin Hauge, a farmer of LaCross county, today cleared up the mystery of the disappearance of the woman and resulted in the issuance of a war- rant for Hauge, who has not been seen since early in July. Mrs. Miler upon whose farm Hauge lived, had been missing since February. Some months after her disappear- ance Hiram Lovsjoy, a farmer, re- reived a letter intimating the woman had eloped. According to the police the letter was written by Hauge. It is the theory of the officers that Mrs. Miller, who owned several farms, had to collect rent and in a quarrel had been struck with a hammer which was founi near the body. Hauge is 32 years old and has a wife Wolff Has Little Sympathy For Any .Except Von Kuhlmann—Mexi- co Blames Plot. Copenhagen, Aug., 7.—Theodore Wolff, editor of the Tageblatt, scoffs at the appointments except that of Dr. Von Kuhlmann, whom he advises to use his elbows vigorously to gain room to run his own department and prevent intrusion by Dr. Helferrich. The Lokal Anzeiger also advises a firm hand policy and holds out as an enticement the glittering opportunity af “leading the premier military power of the world to that just and per- manent peace which will be as great a victory for Germany on the dip- lomatic fleld as that of Hindenburg on the fleld of war.” The Anzeiger's adoption of the phrase “peace by understanding” does not imply any ge paper, which s committed absolutely to u powerful pan-German peace. 7.—When news resignation of Dr. Zimmer- German foreign secretary, was received last night it caused gen- eral feeling among prominent Mexi- cans that his downfall was due large- Iy to the failure of his plan to have L Henrich \'on Fckhardt, German min- jster to Mexico, attempt to embroil Mexico and the United States and Lee Mexico as 4 go-hetween in an at- tempt to alienate Japan from the Alllee, Mexico City, Aug, of the mann, (! of heart in the | and child.

Petrograd, Aug. 7.—Premier Keren- sky has completed the formation of his new cabinet. The officlal state- ment of its composition contains sev- era]l changes in the list of portfolios made public yesterday as follows: Lieut. Lebedoeff is made minister of marine, a post held up to the present by Premier and Minister of War Kerensky. M, Bernatzky is appointed minister of finance, u parttolio had been assigned by M uddition to the vicepremiership. s M.

London, Aug. ¢ (delayed)—Official announcement was made at the ad- miralty tonight that Admiral Sir Ce- cil Burney, second sea lord, had been replaced by Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss. Alan Garrett Anderson, hitherto vice chairman cf the wheat| commission, succeeds Sir Eric C. Geddes, the new first lord of the admiralty, as con- trollér of naval constructicn. “Mr. Anderson, who will be respon- sible for the admiralty shipbuilding requirements, has a close knowledge of both shipbuilding and railroad work. He was long associated with a company of brokers and is a director of the Midland Railway. He is a son of Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, a well known phystcian and the first woman to be elected as may- or in England, being the chief magis- trate of Aldeburgh. The changes in the British admir- alty announced last night are attract- ing much attention and are interpret- ed as the first step in a reorganiza- tion which, it is supposed, Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, first lord of ad- miralty, was appointed to carry out. In quarters where the existing ad- miralty methods are regarded as un- satisfactory the present step is de- ‘nounced as a ‘‘procrastinatory half measure,” and it is declared the change ought to have been so complete as to “give the country a resolute and energetic admiralty permeated by an offensive spirit."” There is na implication of incapaci- ty against Admiral Burney, whose services as Admiral Jellicoe's second in command of the grand fleet are rec- ognized, and an ofiicial annoucement states he will be employed on special duty. Tt is assumed that as his record was made in active cammand he may welcome the change. An officlal statement contains the announcement that an opportunity Is to be taken of the apppintment of Ad- mliral Wemyss to re-arrange the duties of the second sea lord of the admiral- ty, who will be relieved of detailed administrative work connected with the personnel of the fleet. This is in- terproted as meaning that the second sea lord will not be trammelled hy details which subordinates can do but will be associated more closely than was his predecessor with the prepara- tion of war plan: \ Another change in the admiralty is the removal of Sir. Wiliam Graham Greene from the permanent secretary- ship at the admiralty to a secretary- ship in the ministry of munitions under Winston Spence Churchill. Sir ‘William’s departure from the admiral- ty is regarded as of considerable im- portance, as the post of permanent secretary, which he has held since 1911, always has been largely respon- sible for the continuity of admiralty tradition and palicy. It is this con- tinuity which is regarded by many as a most dangerous factor in that it hinders initiative and adaptibility to current needs GREAT DAMAGE AT POLA Halian Aviators Firc Arsenal, Naptha Depot and Scavlane Station and Re- turn Without Loss of Machine. Rome, Aug. 7.—A detailed report on the air raid at Pola, the Austrian naval base, on Friday night, shows that it began at 11 p. m. and ended shortly after dawn. Each machine carried eight hombs and six sren- ades. The first arrived over Pola an hour after departure and the last at 4 a. m. The squadfilla carried out the task, which comprised a flight of 320 kilometers, 160 of which werc over enemy territory, without the loss of a single machine. D'Annunzio, the poet, was aboari one of the larger planes piloted by Captain Gorl. The damage effected was most important. In addition to bombing the arsenal, a naptha depot { and a seaplane station were set afirc and burned like paper. The Italian aviators who kept at an average height of 500 to 3,000 yvards, were able to judge of the extent of the de. struction by the enormous shoots ot flames and columns of smoke whicn shot up to a height of 500 yards.

She needed medical at- tention, he said, but this could be giv- en in the jal. “She appears to lack nourishment and is thin and wasted” said Dr. Cleg- | horn, .“and she will have to be built up and kept under observation.” District Attorncy Weeks said todav he has detectives gathering evidence in the case to be used at the trial, which will not be rushed ahcad of other cases, but must take its regular course. l_\l'l)tll(‘r, Brother and The .mother of M De Saulles | cahled from Valpariso, Chile, that | she was leaving there on Wednesday for New York and was bringing an- other daughter, Miss Amalie Errazu- and her son, William, The message also said th the mother would give every ald pos- sible 1o her daughter., The belief that Mrs. De Saulles’ de- fense will be temporary emotional in- sanity was strengthened today.

The love of native land is strong in most but in the case of New Britain eign birth who die here are buried here. But vastly different plans are being made for the disposal of the body of Chung Den, a 48 years old Chinaman, who died at his home, 11 Lafayette street early this morning. The remains will be taken to China | and a cemetery in Sunnaag in the pro- vince of Canton will be his final rest- ing place. Chung Den is the first Chinaman to die in New Britain for a number of years. He conducted a laundry at 11 Lafayette street in partnership with a younger brother, who today is being examined by the exemption board of the first district and may be a soldier in the new national army. Curiously enough Chung Den celebrated his 48th birthday vesterday and the celebration may have been a cause of death. He died suddenly this morning of heart trouble. He leaves a wife and a father and mother in China in addition to his brother in this city. The brother's name is Chung Toy and his father's name is Chung Door, which suggests the probability that Chung is the family name rather than the given name and is also indicative of the locality in which he was born, as his native village is also said to be “Chung.” * According to plans now being made, his body will soon bé sent to New York. where a firm of Chinese undertakers will send it to San Fran- cisco. It will then be kept ‘at that pacific port until a sufficient number of corpses have been collected to pro- vide a cargo for the chartering of a vessel to carry them to China. CAPT. BASIL HOOD.

SHARK CAUGHT OFF ELM CITY | Bulldog Worries Big Fish While Clammers Hook It and Swing It Into Boat. New Haven, Aug. 7—A shark meas- uring seven feet and with a cavernous mouth some 14 Inches in diameter was caught today a few hundrea vards off City Point in the main channe] of the harbor by a party of clammers. The caplire was effected with the aid of a bulldog and a pair of clamming hooks. When the dog saw the big dorsal fin cutting the water he went over- board from the boat and so worried the big fish that the clammers were able after a struggle to haul it into the boat. They then sat on it to keep it quiet until the bhoat reached land, the shark keeping up its figh: for some rime after it had been drawn entitled by reason of his position, on shore.
