REICHSTAG HAS TERMS Senate Can Compare Wilson and Harding Methods When Document Arrives. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of the Eve- ning World.) ~-WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (Copyright, 1921).—More than a month has parsed since Congress by a joint resolution tried to declare a state of peace with (germany, but for reasons which have «hus far been clouded in secrecy ‘hetther a prociamation of peace has been issued nor has the American public been told officially by the De- partment of State or the White House what the American Commissioner in Berlin and the German Government fre talking about. The Senate Foreign Relations Com- Ihittee has not been given a draft of he memorandum now in the hands of the German government, though it is known the German Reichstag com- qmittee has for weeks bad the same Mader consideration. -It was in the Senate that the Wil- #on Administration met its Waterloo ‘by tailing to consult that body in the making of the peace and Republican Senators have been wont to say that the policy of secret diplomacy was sepudiated at the polls last November. ‘That's why there is a growing impa- Atonce over the extreme secrecy of the present negotiations with Germany. « Secretary Hughes, who usually dis- guases foreign policy frankly and in much more detail than any of his predecessors, has declined repeated- ty to say anything about the con- wwersations or negotiations going on with the German Government. + The State Department has, on the insisted that most of ‘the published reports are seriously Anaccurate. ° ‘The Wilson Adminiatratton used to argue that international custom and international politics made it neceasity to negotiate privately, but , Ye Harding Administration is keep- ing the negotiations within the realm of secret diplomacy because af do- mestic politica—a fear of certain ele- ments in the United States Senate which might attempt to criticise the yimoposals if made public. Indeed, the Department of State wives every evidence of intending to follow the Wilson footsteps by ne- @otiating @ treaty with Germany and then sending it to the Senate, which Will be urged to accept it without qualification. The chances are the Senate will have to take ae treaty without the crossing of a “t" or the dotting of an “i.” The Dainparste nren't particularly disturbed over that prospect, for they defended it under the Wilson Administration, but ihe elements in the Senate which de nounced the Wilson methods as un- justified are showing signs of restive- ness over the fact that open diplo- macy has again gone by the boards. _Their chief fear is that Secretary Hughes is establishing a precedent fer the Harding Administration which will be used to keep the press out of the disarmament conference und give out formal statements similar to the colorless announcements made daily at Paris, while the real agreements and negotiations were kept secret and are still being handed to the public in piecemeal fashion in books by those delegates who participated in the peace conference. But if the mystery over the conduct of ihe negotiations with Germany unexplained it is no less of concern Capitol Hill than the reason wh: 4 peace prociamation is not issued Congress expected that peace would b established by joint resolution, Th: Slate Department did not seem to think ® proclamation was necessary. but some suggestion was made that wartime legislation could be abrogat- ed only by @ proclamation, So the matter was referred to the Depart- ee POLICE BELIEVE. | KENNEDY MURDER VIRTUALLY SOLVED a Seen Burch on Way to Los Angeles —Will “Square This Thing,” He Says. LAS VEGAS, mystery of whe slaying of John B. Kennedy, insurance broker, at Los Angeles Friday night, “virtually was solved.” Deputy Sheriff Joseph Nolan deciared before Jeaving here last night with Arthur C. Burch, taken in- to cusiody here in connection with Ube case, Nolan sald he had reached this conclusion after several hours of conversation with Burah, but was not ready to make public the solution he claimed to have worked out. The Deputy said he would proceed to Los Angeles with Burch and would seck to arrange a meeting between the latter and Mrs. Madalynne Oben- chain, who was with Kennedy when the shot was fired whioh ended his life in front of his summer cottage at Bevorly Hills, Los Angeles suburb. Nolen deciared there was a num- ber of conflicting statements to be taken up when Los Angeles was reached. Mra, Obenchain wae de- clared too have denied she visited Burch in the rooms be occupied in Los Angeles overlooking Kennedy's office. Burch, according to Noland said Mrs. Obenchain had viaited him in disguiee. The question of the woapon used played a prominent figure, according ta Nolan. It had been established, according (o investigation, a shot gun ‘was employed. Efforts were being made in Los Angeles to trace the gun. Burch was questioned, Nolan said, about a parcel he was alleged to have been eeen carrying. Then, the deputy said, the conversation was in this vein: “What did you do with the gun?” “What gunt” “The gun you bad wrapped with newspaper.” “L bad no gun wrapped with news- paper." “Well,” paper?’ “I threw it away in the Wilshire District (a Los Angeles residential section.")

Burglars have resumed activities in the Flatbush section, it became known yesterday.

After ransacking the house, (he burglars went to the home of Frank L, Christeld, next door, at No. | 38 Buckingham oad. In this in- | stance the thieves gained entrance by | way of a side window, using a chair | from the Strout home to enable them to reach the window.

STARVINGIN RUSSIA: 2IN 3 ARE HUNGRY Mrs. Harrison Tells of Fear- ful Conditions in Volga Valley Due to War and Drought. BERLIN, Aug. 8.—Mrs. Marguerite Harrison, the Baltimore nowspaper woman who has been released by the Soviets and has arrived here, tells a story of fearful want in districts of Russia with which ghe is familiar. In the Volga basin alone, she sayw, 12,000,000 persons are actually starv- ing, while at least two-thirds of the entire population of the country are on hunger rations, The food shortage was primarily due, she adds, to the seizing of the crops to feed the armies and to drought. She says that the famine area be gins between Nighni-Novgorod and Kazan on the north and extends southward in a broad belt to Twar- itsin, on both sides of the Volga, Famine conditions have been made worse by poor transportation and the inefficiency of local distribution or- ganizations. For instance, 85 per cent, of the milk spoiled in the Mos. cow Government was due to the de- fective organization of the receiving stationa. Pitiful stories of surering are told on all sides. The peasants of Tamboff are reported to be eating bread made of straw, potato parings and weeds. It ts called lebedya. In the Novenski Prison, where Mrs. Harrison was de- tained, the bread was adulterated with a flour which appeared to have been made from cowpeas. the staple cereal of the peasants, has been replaced by flageolet beans, which are imported.
