Berne, Switzerland, July 17.—Private Berlin despatches state the speech to the reichstag which Dr. Georg Mich- aelis, the new chancellor, is preparing, will be delivered at 3 o'clock on Thurs- day afternoon. It is reported that German parliamentary circles are still uncertain regarding his attitude. INTEREST IS DIVERTED FROM FIGHTING FRONTS. Attention is Now Focussed on the Con- vening of German Reichstag. With intense interest diverted for the moment from the fighting fronts Lecause of a noticeable slackening in hostilities in the major theatres, at- tention is being focussed on the con- vening Thursday afternoon of the German reichstag. E At the opening session will be heard the first utterances of the new im- perial chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, con- cerning his stand on the war—utter- ances that naturally wili be mo- mentous, Inasmuch as they will indi- cate whether, with the recent changes in the German government, Germany is to continue her warfare without abatement or whether the desires for peace that have been heard eo often in Germany, and especially in the reichstag, are anything but empty ex- pressions. The probable attitude of the chan- cellor has run the gamut of diverse speculation, but as yvet nothing has been evolved from the many unofficial discussions of the man and his ideas and intentions on which anything like certainty can be based. After having tried ineffectually to overcome the French gains in the Verdun gector between the eastern edge of the Avocourt Wood and Hiil 304, the Germans have ceased their costly enterprise and are now content- & themselves with throwing shells to the positions which General Pe- tain's men forced them to_ evacuate. Likewise along the Chemin des Dames the violent infantry activity of the early week has ceased and artillery duels instead are taking place. The PBritish and the Germans con- tinue their violent artillery duels in northern Belgium, and Fleld Marshal Haig's forces are keeping up their harassing patrol raids on numerous sectors of the front. One of the most successful of these enterprises was carried out east of Monchy le Preux, in the Arras sector, in which the Brit- ish gained ground and took prisoners. On the Russian front General Korn- iloffs army in Bast Galicia is stub- bornly holding back the reinforoed Austro-Germans, which at various points are endeavoring to wrest from them the positions recently won in the Halicz and Kalusz sectors. In the lat- ter region near the village of Novica the enemy won a vantage point from the Russians but immediately after- wards in a counter-attack lost it again. The Germans are violently bombarding the Russians south of Brzezany and near Halicz. BALLOONS AND AIRPLANES AID GERMANS IN ATTACK The Enemy Object Wa: of Trenches and Posi Canadian Destruction ons. Army Headquarters in. France, July 18.—There has been a remarkable increase during the past 48 hours in the volume of the enemy’s fire all around the Lens salient from Hill 70 on the north to the Avon on the south. In some places the Ger- man fire was of tha nature usually preceding an assault but the enemy’s object was the destruction of our trenches and positions in the ruined houses in preparation for an attack. Vimy, three miles from the nearest German battery, was bombarded with high explosives, six hundred 5.9 shells falling in a relatively small space. Avon and points to the north almost as far up the line as Vermelles, were subjected to fire of great intensity. The enemy's observation was bet- ter than for some time past, eight balloons and many airplanes being en- gaged in spotting for his gunners. The Canadian artillery was not di- verted by the German activity from its appointed task of methodically de- stroving the enemy’s trenches and de- fensive lines. In this work much pro- gress was made during the day as well as in counter-battery operations. The Germans during the night put down a barrage along a large part of the front under the belief that an advance was imminent, but no infan- try action followed. The Gilligan Trial. Hartford, July 18.—Governor Hol- comb today received a letter from Mrs. Cecilia_Blickenderfer of Stamford, to whom he had written on the subject of her steps for the commutation of Mrs. .Archer-Gilligan's . sentence, in which Mrs. Blickenderfer said that it was not her intention to do anything in the matter until the supreme court of errors gave its decision on her ap- peal from the judgment of the superior court.

Washington, July 1S.—senate con- sideration of 'the administration food control bill, begun a month agv to- day, is approaching an end. Voting on amendments bezan today and to- morrow discussion will proceed under a ten-minute limit toward the final Vote to be taken Saturday. Only one amendment was disposed of today but that, relating to sales by government agents of their own pro- ducts to the government, has been be- fore the senate almost exclusively for a week. A re-draft of the provision offered * by Senator Pomerene was adopted tentatively, but probably fi- nally, by a vote of 54 to 17. It is de. signed to meet, especially, the supply purchasing situation of the defense council and its advisory bodies. Tomorrow, under the limited debate rule, the leaders expect tg proceed rapidly with the many amendments, including those drafted in bi-partisan conferences in an effort to comprom- ise the situation over the legislation. Probably the first to be taken up will be the compromise proposal to create a board of food administration of three salaried members in lieu of the orisgi- nal plan for one administrator. The actual effect of the Pomerene amendment written into the bill today was disputed by senators tonight, Those who had advocated it in lieu of the original committee amendment de- clared it was entirely satisfactory to the administration and council mem- bers. Equal satisfaction was express ed by those advocating more drastic action, Including Senator Reed, one of the most persistent critics of the coun- cil. Commi; on Not Criticised. During the discussion Senator Pom. erene declared no serious criticism could be lodged azainst the council's @dvisory commissi fulness should not be crippled by the passage of the eommittee amendment which its opponments predicted might prevent the prominent men who have been serving as commissioners with- out pay from continuing in their po- sitions. Senator Reed and others in- sisted that all that was sought was to prevent contracts for their own sup- plies from being controlled by the commissioners. Federal Employes Barred. As placed in the bill, ment provides: That no person acting either as a voluntary or paid agent or emplove of the United States in anv capacity, including an advisory capacity, shall solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any person or officer anthorized to execute or to direct the execution of contracts on behalf of the United States, to make any contract or zive any order for the furnishing to the United States of work, labor, or ser- vices, or of materials, supplies or oth- er property of any kind or character, if such” agent or emplove has any pe- cuniary interest in such contract or order, or if he or any firm of which he is an officer or stockholder. or in the pecuniary profits of which he is directly or indirectly interested, shall be a party thereto, “Nor shall any agent or employe make or permit any committee or other body of which he is a_member to make or participate in making any recommendations concerning such con- tract or order to any councii, board or commission of the United States or any member or subordinate there- of, without makinz to the best of his knowledge and belief a full and com plete disclosure in writing to such council, board, commission or subor- dinate of any or every pecuniary in- terest which he may have in his con- tract order and of his interest in any firm, corporation, company or asso- ciation being a party thereto. “Nor shall he participate in the awarding of such contract or giving such order. Any wilful violation of any of the provisions of this section shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by imprisonment of not more than five vears, or both.” To this was added an amendment by Senator Reed providing that this section should not repeal the act of 1862, which reads: “No officer or agent of any corpor- ation, joint stock company or associa- tion or firm shall act as an officer or agent of the United States for trans- action of business with such corpora- tion, joint stock company, association cr firm. the amend- AMERICAN NAVAL SJUADRON WILL VISIT BUENOS AIRES it May Remove Strain Argentina and Brazil. Vi Between ‘Washington, July 18—The visit to Buenos Aires of the American naval squadron now in South Atlantic wa- ters will be made within a few days. Secretary Daniels today formally an. nounced the acceptance of Argentina’s invitation, which came while the squadron’ was visiting other South American countries. Admiral Caperton was instructed to pay the visit at his convenience. It is belleved the call may do much to re- move the slight strain created be- tween the two countries by Argentina’ apparent reluctance to join Brazil in her stand against Germany’s methods of war.

Prussian Paris, July 18—*“One thing is cer- tain, and that is that Emperer William wanted to get rid of a man who trailed after him unpleasant recoiiections of the days preceding the war,” said Jules Cambon, general secretary to the min- istry of foreign affairs, to The Asso- ciated Press today. “This was the man to whose name remain rivetted the historical words ‘a scrap of paper,’ that are unforgettable. “The emperor doubtless thought” added M. Cambon, “that by sacrificing Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg he would make easier the task of _the peace negotiators, but whatever hap- pens, Germany will make its war chancellor a scapegoat for its own faults and its own crimes. “Herr Michaelis,” continued M. Cam- bon, “seems to be of the type of disci- plined, brutal, Prussian functionary, a T, but conservative and reactionary as soon as he ie charged with public iunctions. He will doubtless try, ac- cording to the method familiar, to the Germans, to practice contradiatory pol- icies, supporting Von Hindenburg and Von Ludendorff and the military party energetically on the one hand and try- ng on th other to flatter the socialists and the pacifist elements in Germany and her allied countries. The national liberal party seems to desire now to come to an understanding with the conservatives and refuse to follow the center party in its more conciliatory Ppolicy.” Regarding the situation in Spain, M. Cambon declined to prophesy, experi- ence having taught him how deceptive indications in that country frequently are. He expressed great esteem for Premier Dato. who he said possessed a brilliant and liberal mind, with plen- teous energy and will power. He thought the allies would be unable to find a more honorable and impartial neutral than he to deal with. ATLANTIC NAVAL FLEET REORGANIZATION ORDERED The Details Are Withheld for Mi Reasons—Grant Promoted. itary Washington, July 1S.—Reorganiza- tion of the Atlantic fleet has been ordered by Secretary Daniels to meet new problems resulting from expansion of the force to almost twice its normal size for war service. Details of the steps are withheld for military reasons, but the secretary an- nounced today that the reorganiza- tion plan involves the addition of another vice admiral to he fleet and that Rear Admiral Albert W. Grant, now commanding the submarine force, has been named for the place. Admiral Mayo, the secretary said, will remain in general command with the immediate authority under him divided between Vice Admiral Coff- man, at present second in_command, and Vice Admiral Grant. The former is to have direct command of a di- vision containing most of the super- dreadnoughts and designated as “Force No. 2" while Vice Admiral Grant will command the remainder of the fleet under the designation of “Force No. It is understood that the reorganiza tion will not affect the division of the fleet now in European waters under Vice Admiral Sims. At the navy de- partment it was Indicated today that possible operations overseas are not contemplated by the changes, and that there is little probability that either Admiral Coffman or Vice Ad- miral Grant will be sent abroad in the near future. Vice Admiral Grant's arpointment leaves no vacancies in that rank, and if additional vice admirals are needed a further authorization will have to be sought of congress. Authority for the appointment of three was granted with the under- standing that one would be appointed for the Atlantic fleet, anotier with the Asiatic fleet and the third with the Pacific flee, but so much more im- portance has been forced upon the Atlantic forces in the Atlantic that it was decided to station all three there. Vice Admiral Grant will be succeed- ed as commander of the submarine force by Captain S. H. Robison, now commanding the battleship South Car- olina. RESIGNATION OF HARDINGE WILL NOT BE FORCED led The House of Commons So Deci Wednesday Night. London, July 18—The house of commons’ tonight declined to inter- fere further to force the resignation of Baron Hardinge, under secretary for foreign affairs. By a vote of 176 to 81 the house refected a motion by John Dillon to adjourn the house with a view to forcing the hands of the government to accept the resignation for his connection with Mesopotamia campaign. Mr. Dillon in a spech demandng the adjournment of the house casti- mated Baron Hardinge, but after his indictment of the under-secretary the debate was rather languid. Arthur J Balfour, the foreign secretary, reply- ing_to Mr. Dillon's criticism, staunch- 1y defended Baron Hardinge, contend- ing that although he might be attack- ed for what he did as viceroy of In- dia, 1t was grossly unconstitutional to attack him as under-secretary for for- elgn affairs. “While I hold my present office,” said Mr. Balfour, “I will not permit such a gross act of injustice to one of my subordinates. If the house de- cides that because I adhere to that decision I ought to resisn, nobody will be more grateful than myseif with that expression of opinion.” Branford—Mrs. Robert M.
