Condemned
As Bolsheviki
Senator Sherman Makes
Sensational Attacks in Op?
posing Overman Bill
Nation Depends on
Bourgeoisie, He Says
President's Letter to Soviet
Called Dangerous and
Unwise Use of Power
[Staff Correspondence]
WASHINGTON. April 23.?A fiery at?
tack on the men surrounding the Presi?
dent as a "bunch of economic fakers,
howling dervishes, firebrands and pesti?
lent friends of sedition" was made in
the Senate to-day by Senator Sherman,
of Illinois, in the debate on the Overman
bill granting the President sweeping
powers to make changes in the depart?
ments and bureaus of the Administra?
tion. .
The Illinois Senator, his voice rising
to a shout at intervals in the vehe?
mence of his denunciation, took up
man after man, including "ecretary of
War Baker, George Creel. Tecretary of
Labor Wilson, Louis F. Post, Assistant
Secretary of Labor, and others of the
President's official family, denouncing
them for sympathy with the Bolshe?
viki. He criticised aversely the note
sent by the President to the Russian
National Council of Soviets.
"Because of this message of the
President and the response," said Sen
otov Sherman. "I think the. President
has made an unwise use of the powers
vested in him. It is an encouragement,
and is taken as an encouragement by
the Socialistic government, which is
framed and administered in repudia?
tion, in confiscation and wholesale
murder by Leon Trotzky and his asso?
ciates.
Hopes Baker Has Changed Mind
"The soviets are the Reds of Russia,
They are the anarchists, the disturbers
and those who believe in repudiation
with practical murder. Therefore, 1
say the President has in his hand a
biasing brand and does :ot seem to
know it.
"The Secretary of War," he said, "is
a half-Socialist and the other hall
pacifist. He was before the Coramitte?
on Military Affairs, and when remindec
of the delays of airplane constructor
in the preparation of our militarj
forces, in guns, heavy ordnance, ma
chine guns, of the quarrel between thi
Lewis and the Browning gun, he dis
missed it with an airy wave of hi!
hands, saying, 'There are three thou
sand miles between us and the war
Now, after he has come back from hi
trip, I repeat the hope which I hav?
already expressed, that tie has learne
what he could have learned, withou
going to Europe, if he only listened t
the chairman of the Military Affair
Committee of the Senate, who had bee
talking preparation for years.
"The stalwart undertaking of t\
Military Affairs Committee was thi
we should speed up and we should pn
pare, even before we declared war, i
defend ourselves.
Only Cannon Can Awe Hindenburg
"The tremble is the Secretary of \V

tary of War; he was opposed to wa
he proposed to end war by moral su
sion, by peace meetings, by argumen
addressed to the justice of men.
hope that such methods will be effic
cious some time?but they are not no
I would rather settle in that way a
quarrel with which I have anything
do, as I am not a fighter. But I look,
on the face of Sir Douglas Haig, pub?
lished in the Sunday papers, and the
face of Hindenburg, and I have made
up my mind that there is only one ar?
gument appreciated by a man with a
face like Hindenburg's, and that is the
heaviest ordnance we can make in this
country and can fire. It takes the
shock of the gun between the eyes to
argue with men with faces of that
type; that is the only way that civ?
ilized society can protect itself and
that government of the people can
endure.
"I have no doubt that Mr. Baker has
come back with much information and,
I hope, with a change of heart. The >
only difficulty is I object to educating
the men assembled about the executive
with such a long lapse of precious time
and at such an infinite cost to the coun?
try. The education processes ought to
have begun before such men assumed
the robes of office.
Attacks Secretary of Labor
"Then there is Secretary of Labor W.
B. Wilson. He made his debut in pub?
lic notice by being in jail in Cumber?
land, Md., for violating thef laws of the
country. He is to be the gentleman in
charge of the expenditure of $60,000,000
for housing and humanitarian purposes,
with power to go and condemn even
private residences and to turn any
member of the Senate out of his home
by merely applying to a district judge
of the United States Court and obtain?
ing the approval of the judge before
filing a petition for condemnation or
issuing any order by which the prop-'
erty is to be taken and you and #our
family put upon the curbstone.
"W. B. Wilson himself is a state So?
cialist. 'In many- addresses he has
shown himself as unadulterated a So?
cialist in all of our domestic affairs as
can be found'io the purely Socialist or- !
gaoizations in the United States.
"When- I speak of state Socialists. I |
do not mean 'state' in the narrow sense i
of our forty-oight states; I mean state
authority to take over,any enterprise.
. Burleson Also State Socialist
"Mr. Burleson, the Postmaster Gen?
eral, in tho same sense is also a state
Socialist: Mr. Burleson has frequently
by message, report and otherwise and
by public, address wherever he has had
occasion to express himself favored the
taking of telegraphs and telephones
and adding them to the Postoflicc De?
partment. He. in substance, says it is ,
an anomaly for the communication of .
intelligence to be in private hands.
"ThereMs an almost laughable state?
ment in his report of 1917, in view of
till that preceded it, about government
ownership of telegraphs and telephones.
In it Mr. Burleson exhibits a strange
lapse of memory or understanding. He
recommends in that report that all of
the rural free delivery of the United
States be tal:?;n out of the govern?
ment's hands and farmed out to private
contractors under star routes, and he
sustains it by the argument that the
contractors can do the work cheaper
than the rt\ral carriers are now doing
it for the government.
"I agree with him as to this, but it
is contradictory to all of his arguments
and to every utterance on the question
he has made since I have known him in
puivio office. 1 do not think he i3 a lit
person to decide it. He is carrying
about to-day in his private fortune th?
proceeds of the labor of Texas convicts
in connection with the cotton farming
on his land in Texas. An investigation
y the Texas Legislature showed that
is farm was let out, run by convict
labor, and that he received a share of
the proceeds of fh? farm. Now, he is
the last person in the world to be talk?
ing about government ownershio and
issuing orders and edicts from his de?
partment to the postal employes of this
country, denying them in substance the
right to organize themselves to present
their claims to Congress ov the de?
partment.
Nation Depends on Bourgeoisie
"Mr. Burleson represents in concrete
form labor that has no right to speak.
This is another one of the President's
advisers- with whom he will consult on
this bill after the pewer is delegated to
him to consolidate the departments.
"The bourgeoisie, which is the object
of Trotzky'? contempt, are the only
foundation upon which this republic
can endure. The only government. Mr.
Trotzky and his associates are satis?
fied with is the 'hobo government.'
The Soviet is composed of the Reds,
I the anarchists, the disturbers of Rus
I sia, and it was to them that the Presi
? dent directed his solicitous cablegram
i of March 11, 19.18, and their reply to
i him shows that the President has in
? his hand a blazing brand-that he is
playing with fire and does not know it.
"In his communication to the Rus?
sian Soviet the President has made an
unwise use of the power vested in him.
It is an encouragement, and it is taken
as an encouragement by the Socialist

In Heart Fighting in the Air

paniment to Words of Clergymen
I By The Associated Press] !
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY INI
FRANCE, April 23.?Captain Baron von
Richthofen died fightincc in the air, as
he would undoubtedly have chosen to
do had he known he was fated to fall.
Von Richthofen apparently was killed
while trying to break through .the Brit?
ish aerial defences in the Ancre region
in order that enemy reconnoissance j
machines might cross "the lines to make J
observations on the defences. A docu- i
ment captured Sunday reveals the rea-|
son for his presence there. It is a,
communication from the "group com-1
mander of aviation" to the 1st'Pursuit
Squadron, of which von Richthoien's
11th Pursuit Flight was part, saying:
"It is not possible to fly over the
Ancro in, a westerly direction on ac?
count of strong enemy opposition. !
request that this aerial "barrage be
forced to break in-order that a recon?
noissance up to the line of Marieux
Puchevillers (ten miles from the front)
may be carried out."
The captain, with his "flying circus"
of more than twenty followers, came
flying toward the British lines near:
Sailly le Sac, on the Somme, at about
noon on Sunday. The Germans were |
seeking British prey. As they nearod
the ???hting- front they encountered two
British airplanes. Captain von Rich-!
thofen for some reason separatod him-!
self from his followers and started on1
a furious pursuit of the^se machines.
Meanwhile a score of other British j
'planes came swirling up and engaged
the Germans. The captain kept a?terj
his man and attempted to outmanoeuvre
him. The British 'plane which was ac-l
companying the one under attack got
above the German. The three machines
raced toward the British lines, their
machine guns chattering like mad.
Meanwhile the other German machines
were fighting the British' squadron
more than three miles away.
Machine guns and rifles on the
ground came into action against Cap?
tain von Richthofen, who also was
being fired at by at "least one of his
adversaries in the air. Suddenly his
machine turned its nose downward and
crashed to the earth.
Examination showed the German
F'lot had a bullet through the heart.
It was difficult to say whether the bul?
let came from the ground or from a!
British machine. In any event, he prob?
ably was killed almost instantly.
The snot where he fell was tinder the
observation of Gorman gunners. They
immediately placed a heavy barrage
around the fallen machine. A British
soldier crawled out and found the
aviator dead, still sitting in the seat
of the machine, which was smashed
into a thousand pieces.
Funeral Impressive
The captain was flying?wituout a uni?
form. He had an aviator's outfit over
his undergarments. A pilot's license
in his pocket gave all the essential
facts about this twenty-five-year-old
wonder.
Mechanics- of an aviation squadron
constructed a coffin, on which they
placed a plate giving the aviator's
name, rank and other data. The body
was carried on a motor car. with which
marched the firing squad and many offi?
cers and men. Six British aerial offi?
cers acted as pallbearers.
The baron was buried under a hem?
lock tree. Hundreds of soldiers and
civilians stood in the cemetery during
the ceremony.
A large number of British fighting
men and aviation oificers, as well ..s
Americans stationed at an airdrome
near by, also attended.
It was an impressive service, worthy
of the greatest aviator yet produced by
the Central Allies. The thoughts of
those who stood at the grave while the
arpty chaplain read the heautiful
Church of England service were ex?
pressed in an inscription on one of the
floral wreaths: "A valiant and Vorthy
foe." \

' Aunt Had Presentment
. Of Richtholen's Death
[Special Correspondence]
DENVER, April 23.?Captain Baron
von Richthofen was a nephew of the
Baroness von Richthofen, who is (prom?
inent in social circles in Denver and is
noted as a sportswoman. The baron?
ess last saw him as a lad fifteen years
; old, when a cadet in the German army.
The baroness is loyal to her adopted
country, and declares she is for Amer?
ica first, last and always. She is 3ure
the Allies will win.
"There were just two boys in the
family," she said when informed of
the-death of the famous German avia?
tor. "For nearly two weeks I have had
a presentiment that something would
happen to Max, and now it has actually
occurred."
Germans Believe Chance
Shot Killed Richthofen
AMSTERDAM, April 23.?According
to official German accounts of Captain
von Richthofen's end, he was pursuing
at a low altitude an enemy battleplane
when apparently motor trouble forced
him to land behind the enemy lines.
As he made a smoo^i landing, it was
hoped he had only been captured until i
the British reports were received an?
nouncing his death.
As von Richthofen was pursuing an
enemy, 'plane at the time, the accounts
point out, he could not well have been
hit by his opponent's fire, and the be?
lief is expressed that he was the vic?
tim of a chance shot from the ground.

Attacks War Partisan League
Senator Sherman, responding to ques?
tions by Senator Watson, of Indiana,
said that A. C. Townley, president of
the Non-Partisnn League, and under
indictment on the charge of opposing
the draft operations, also was taken
up by the Administration, and that
he V.&3 even received at the White
House after George Creel, chairman
of the Committee un Public Informa?
tion had arranged a speaking tour for
him.
"Mr. Townley informed the authori?
ties he was strictly loyal. He was
trying to rescue the people from the
monopolies of the, Northwest. He mas?
querades as the representative of th,e
farmers, but in reality Mr. Townley
! represents pro-German influence."
| Led into a further discussion of Mr.
Creel, Senator Sherman said *tha1
I "Creel reminds me of a letter Lin

"Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretar

Senate Limits
Debate, on the .
Overman Bill
(Ry 'Hie Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 23. A vehem?
ent attack upon President Wilson and
some of the members of his official
family by Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
Republican, marked the last day of un?
limited debate in the Senate on the
Overman bill which would give the
President general powers for reorgan?
izing government agencies during the
war.
Senators Ransdell, of Louisiana, and
McKellar, of Tennessee (Democrats),
spoke for the bill, urging that many
departments are working at cross pur?
poses under the present peace time
system, and that "red tape" must be
eliminated if maximum results are to
be obtained. Since the President will
be held responsible for success of the
nation's war effort, said Senator Rans?
dell, he should-be given the authority
he thinks necessary,
Will Limit Debate
In an effort to hasten action after
3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, each
Senator will be limited by agreement
to thirty minutes' discussion of the
bill itself and to twenty minutes on
each amendment offered.
Senator Ransdell followed Senator
Sherman in an address in support of
the bill. He said: .
"Half a dozen or more departments
working at cross purposes cannot di?
rect a war like this. Until such legis?
lation ns this is passed the vurious bu?
reaus and divisions will be compelled
to continue their independent activi?
ties, and there will exist nowhere the
authority to bring about central con?
trol and responsibility."
On the argument that the bill con?
fers autocratic powers, Senator Rans?
dell said:
"There is not the slightest danger o1
dictatorship or misuse of power. The
power to appropriate money?contro
of the purse strings?remains entirclj
with Congress. The whole control thus
is retained by Congress."
Sugar Certificates
Now to Be Needed
[Staff Correspojidence]
WASHINGTON, April 23.?To insure
adequate stocks of sugar to meet this
summer's canning demands, the food .
administration to-day announced the
inauguration of a sugar certificate sys- j
tern as a check against hoarding and
unreasonable consumption of sugar.
Retail dealers will be provided by
local food administration officials with
certificates, which must be signed by
the consumers before they obtain the
sugar needed for home canning. Each
certificate has plank spakes for the |
name of the dealer, the signature and
address of the consumer, and the
amount needed for canning and pre?
serving purposes only. The certificate
must be returned within one week after
it is signed to the Federal Food Ad?
ministrator in the state where the pur?
chase is made.
To build up reserve stocks for the
canning demand, jobbers are permitted
to hold sugar sufficient to meet their
needs for sixty, instead of thirty, days.
Where necessity demands, Federal
Food Administrators will have author?
ity to allow the sale of more than 1,000 \
pounds--the present limit?to retailers.
The prescribed limits of retail sales
for other than cunning purposes will j
still be maintained -not over five :
pounds to people living in cities; not
more than ten pounds to those living
in the country.

Senator Declares President
Will Co-ordinate With j
No One but Himself
[Staff Correspondence] j
WASHINGTON, April 23. ? "The j
President will not coordinate with
anybody but himself." \
"We want a realization that this j
country is in this war to light, and not ;
to conduct a Bolshevik Chautauqua
circuit tea party, to talk and drivel |
and snivel about 'humanity.' You are
up against von Hindenburg. There is
but one thing to talk to that man, and
that is power, and we have dawdled
and hesitated and talked about a year." ;
These are two sample sentences
from a rapid fire attack by Senator
Brandegce, of Connecticut, to-day on
the hesitation by the Administration to
declare war on Turkey and Bulgaria. :
Mr. Brandegee is a member of the For
eign Relations Committee, but he ob- j
jected to the President "being his own'
Foreign Relations Committee and Sec-1
retary of State." The Senator re-1
ferred sarcastically to the President;
sitting alone, "weaving himself into
a cocoon of mystery, secret and silent1
in the top floor of the White House," i
while "nobody but Colonel House tip?
toes up and uown stairs."
Senator Brandegee made his speech
when his own resolution on the sub
ject was called up lor consideration. ;
This resolution calls upon the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to give
early consideration to a resolution of ?
Senator King, of Utah, providing for
the two war declarations.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, pro-!
rosed a resolution asking that the
President be requested "if not incom- j
patible with the public interest, to in?
form the Senate if there now exists j
any reason why the United States;
should not declare a state of war to ex- \
ist between the United States and;
Turkey and Bulgaria." He referred to j
published reports that Bulgarian and ?
Turkish troops had been in action
against American troops in France.
"The country, I can imagine, won-1
ders why we should continue to enter-'
tain a Bulgarian minister," said Sena?
tor Knox. "Why should he have ac?
cess to the Department of State? Why
should he be received in the homes of
American citizens, to pick up informa?
tion that may be of great value to the
Teutonic allies, with Bulgaria standing
in the relation to the Kaiser that she
j does to-day? The people have a right
j to know why we maintain a minister
i from ' Bulgaria under such circum
! stances. We should have this informa
| tion, and have it direct."
President Wilson, he said, when .he
; as,ked Congress to declare war on Aus
j triu-Hungary, had declared there were
i reasons of expediency why the United
j States should pot declare war on Tur
; key and Bulgaria. The President had
! admitted, he said, that it was logical
that we should declare war on all of
Germany's allies.
"This is all camouflage," said Sena?
tor Brandegee. "We may as well look
right through this thing down to the
bottom of it. Bulgaria cannot be friend?
ly to the United States and to Germany
at the same time. That is all there
is to it. They are absolutely under the
cloven hoof of Germany. They are
dominated. Their life and death de?
pend upon the favor with which the
Kaiser looks upon Czar Ferdinand, and
it is a travesty and a tragedy for us
! to be declaring war against one of
I several allied powers who aie waging
| war against us and maintaining friend
: ly relations with the others."
The Knox resolution, which Senator
Brandegee accepted as a substitute for
his own, tinnlly went over to to-mor?
row, as did also the King resolution.
Scsator Brandegee, however, said ho
I would not renew his effort.

War Declarations
By Argentina and
Uruguay Expected
Berlin Press Notified to
Prepare Public for Two
New Foes
LONDON, April 23.?Uruguay and
Argentina are expected to declare war
against Germany at an early date, ac?
cording to Berlin advices forwarded by
the Exchange Telegraph correspondent
at Amsterdam. The German newspapers
have been notified to prepare the pub?
lic for the development, he adds.
Uruguay's relations with Germany
are known to' have been tense for some
time. On April 32 a Montevideo dis?
patch indicated that a Uruguayan mis?
sion to France had been captured by a
German submarine. Uruguay, the dis?
patch stated, had asked Berlin, through
Switzerland, if Germany considered a
state of war ousted with the Uruguay?
an Republic, "as stated by the com?
mander of a submarine who captured
a Uruguayan military mission bound
for France." If the reply was in the
affirmative, it was announced, Uruguay
would declare a state of war.
Uruguay definitely broke diplomatic
relations with Germany bv act of Con?
gress on October 7 last, following the
Crisis between Argentina and Germany
brought about by the Luxburg inci?
dent. Passports were handed to the
German Minister and the neutrality
rule was waived as to the Entente Al?
lies.
Argentina has been apparently on
the verge of a break in relations with
Germany over the submarine situation
several times since the publication of
! the documents in which Count von
i Luxburg, German diplomatic repre
: sentative at Buenos Ay res, advised the
; Berlin Foreign Office, among other
! things, that a certain Argentine mer
\ chant vessel should be "sunk without
| trace." Count von Luxbur?: was hand
j cd his passpcrts.
Dispatches from Buenos Ayres in
February indicated a growing tcnse
| ncss in relations and a growing Eiiti- |
; German sentiment. Since then demon
j r-trntions have been held in the Ar
: gentine capital in celebration of the
: entry of the United States into the
war, and the Uruguayan authorities
! have made it known that Argentina has
I agreed to place the Argentine arm :d
forces ut Uruguay's disposal if Uru?
