'Sjxriol Djpateh to The Tribun?)
WASHINGTON, June 27.?Anti-suf?
frage filibustering again prevented the
passage of the woman suffrage amend?
ment in the Senate this afternoon.
Although President Wilson wants the
bill passed, members of his own party
led the fight against it.
The anti-suffragists knettV they were
doomed to defeat if they allowed the
vote to be taken in the absence of
Senator Ollie James, who is ill in a
Baltimore hospital, unless they could
obtain a pair for him. The suffragists,
on the other hand, knew they were
doomed if they consented to a pair, for
although they had a majority they
could not spare the two votes which
world be necessary to effect a pair
on a measure which required a two
thirds vote.
"Give us the pair, and we will con?
sent to vote in five minutes," cried
Senator Underwood, leader of the
filibuster. "If you won't con .en. to a
pair we won't allow you to vote to?
day."
Military Bill Waiting
Meantime, the military app.-opna
tions bill was waiting. Time was val?
uable, because Sunday is the en,d of
the fiscal year, when new appropri?
ations for ammunition, food and cloth?
ing for the United States army must
lin ready. By threatening to filibuster
long enough to delay passage of the
appropriations bill the anti-suffra?
gist- could put the suffragists in the
...sition of "interfering with the suc?
cess of the war for their "own selfish
?.'m*.? " It was a position which sui
h i -;?.ta could not endure, of course.
After two hours of oratory on the
part of Senator Reed, of Missouri,
leading the filibuster. Senator Jones,
chairman of the Suffrage Committee,
?rave up and withdrew his motion.
"As soon as the supply bill has been
passed," hr declared, "I shall insist on
a vote on this question, and shall resist
any attempt on the part of the Senate
to* take a recess until it has been
adopted."
With this the suffragists had to be
content, although it was a sadly disap?
pointed group that filed down the Cap?
itol steps a few minutes later. Women
had come from all parts of the country
to be present at what they fully be?
lieved was to be the crowning moment
of their forty years' campaign for the
Federal suffrage amendment.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. leader of
the English militant suffrage move?
ment, was there to see the United
States Senate repeat the act of the Brit?
ish House of Loids in granting suffrage
to women. Mrs. Pankhurst was dressed
inconspicuously in black, and sat in a
far corner of the gallery, 30 that few
knew of her presence.
Suffrage Leaders There
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was there,
wearir.0 the mantle of Susan B. An?

Woman Suffrage Association, was there,
too. They sat in the left gallery with

$25,000 Fine Imposed
On N. Y. Flour Dealer
Jacob Kulla, wholesale flour (lofti?
er, of 2 and 4 Stone Street, must
contribute $25,000 to the Red Cross
or forfeit his license, as a result of
a finding by the Federal Food Board
yesterday that he had sold flour at
prices above those fixed.
Kulla, it was brought out, sold
flour at margins of profit of from
75 cents to $1.63 a barrel, when the
maximum allowed was 75 cents.
Much of the flour sold was limited
to a profit of 25 cents a barrel. The
largest previous similar fine was
$20,000.
'Bone Dry' Bill
Reported Out
To the Senate
Amendment Would Pro
?
hibit Whiskey and Wine
After June 30, 1919
WASHINGTON, Juno '27.?Carrying
an amendment providing for national
prohibition as a war measure, but not
fully effective until June 30, 1919, the
$11,000,000 emergency agricultural ap?
propriation bill was reported late to?
day to the Senate. The present plan is
to call it up after the army bill is dis?
posed of and a bitter fight is expect?
ed by many Senators.
The prohibition amendment, offered
by Senator Norris, of Nebraska, as a
substitute for that by Senator Jones,
of Washington, was adopted to-day by
the Senate Agriculture Committee, 8
to 3. It prohibits the sale of distilled
spirits and the manufacturo o? wine
or the removal of liquors t.ow held
in bond after June 30, 19?9. The manu?
facture of ?eer would be stopped three
months after passage of the bill.
The amendment was approved by the
committee at a three-hour session, dur?
ing which opponents made futile ef?
forts to have it amended so as to
permit the manufacture aud sale of
beer for six and then for four months
after enactment. Efforts to have the
committee recommend passage of prohi?
bition legislation in a separate meas?
ure also were unsuccessful.
The New Amendment
The new amendment provides:
"That from and after June 30, 1919,
after the approval of this act, and
during the continuance of the present
war for the purpose of conserving
the man power of the nation and to
increase the efficiency in the pro?
duction of arms, war muntions, food
and clothing for the army, it shall be
unlawful to sell for beverage pur?
poses, except for export, any distilled
spirits, and no distilled spirits held
in bond at the date of the approval
of this act shall be removed there?
from for beverage purposes.
"The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue is hereby authorized and
directed to prescribe rules and regu?
lations subject to the approval of the
?Secretary of the Treasury in regard
to the removal of distilled spirits
now held in bond for other than
beverage purposes and for the ex?
tension of the time now provided by
law for the withdrawal of such
spirits from bonded warehouses for
beverage purposes.
"From and after three months after
the approval of this act and during <
the continuance of the present war
no grain, cereal or other food prod?
ucts shall be used in the manufacture
or production of beer or other in?
toxicating malt liquors.
"From and after June 30, 191!),
after the approval of this act and
during the continuance of the present
war no foods or fruits shall be used
in the manufacture or production of
vinous intoxicating liquors, except
for export.
"Any person who violates any of
the foregoing provisions or any of
said rules and regulations made to
carry the same into effect shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
on conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding
$5,000, or by imprisonment not ex?
ceeding two years, or both."
Extensive hearings on the question
of prohibition during the war wer?1
held by the committee. The proposal,
was opposed and approved by high gov?
ernment officials and others.
Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge
Colby, of the Shipping Board, were
among the chief opponents, because of
the effect they feared the taking of
beer from the workmen would have on
the shipbuilding industry
Daniels Differs With Hurley
Secretary Daniels disagreed with the
view of Shipping Board officials. Mr.
Daniels did not appear as an ad?
vocate of prohibition, but, at the re?
quest of the committee?, said that, after
the sale of liquor was prohibited
around the Mare Island Navy Yard anil
the Newport torpedo station, the work
men showed greater efficiency, the out?
puts of both plants increasing. He
said this increased efficiency was fur?
ther indicated by the record launching
of a torpedo boat destroyer at the Mare
Island yard in seventeen and a half
days after the keel was laid.
Senator Sheppard,of Texas, and other
prohibition leaders were confident to?
night of the passage of the prohibition
amendment. They said that since the
Senate last year adopted, by a two
thirds vote, the resolution to submit
to the states a prohibition constitu?
tional amendment, a majority vote in
support of the present proposal easily
could be secured. Opponents, however,
expected a strong fight to be made, in
view of the fact that the constitu?
tional amendment now is awaiting ac?
tion by the states.

WASHINGTON, Ju,,e 27.?A military
force will be sent ??> Russia by the
United States if any jossible me/ins of
aiding the Russians ,nd embarrassing
the Germans can be ievised by Presi?
dent Wilson and his nilitary advisers.
The President is dr, ermmed upon a
military expedition i , addtion to any
other mission which may be sent, if
any satisfactory phva,,:al plan for such
a military expedition ?an be devised.
While the President has been dis?
cussing the Russian situation with Sec?
retary Baker he has n,,t formulated any
definite plan and has ^?lbmitted no plan
to any meeting of th(i Cabinet, as has
been erroneously stat ,d. As a matter
of fact, the meeting o( several Cabinet
members at the White House night be?
fore last was on the w ,ter power situa?
tion, and the subject c( Russia was not
mentioned.
While the President has definitely
determined upon sendjng a mission to
Russia, the plans to be proposed by
that mission to that utricken country
are not at all de|?nite ?a the President's
mind, save, of course, the fundamental
idea of assuring the Russians of the
entire friendlint.sB of this country to
a democratic form of government in
Russia and of combatting tho German
propaganda levelled at this country,
which has already caused so much
harm.
In this connection a curious side?
light is that the President; has not yet
decided, on the important question pre?
sented by the pyoposal that Kerensky |
shall visit the United, States. It had i
been thought in some quarters here
that Kerensky would be received with
honors almost equal to those which at?
tended the visit vf Joffre, Balfour and
other high representatives of the coun?
tries allied with the United States in
the war on Germany.
But such a reception to Kerensky, it
has been pointed out to the President,
might prove most embarrassing to any
mission representing this government
which shall go to Russia. Whether
Kerensky shall even be permitted to
come to the United States is still a
debatable question in the President's
mind. He has not determined whether

Krupp Head Exposes German j
Lies About Russian Atrocities
WASHINGTON, June 27.?Further revelations by Dr. Muehlon.
director of the Krupp Company, who is in Switzerland, showing that
Germany falsified stories of Russian atrocities during the early days
of the war, are summarized in a dispatch to-day from Berne.
According to Dr. Muehlon, the commission of Cabinet officers sent
to East Prussia to investigate, returned without evidence of atrocities
and with a report that the population spoke in terms of praise of the
conduct of the Russian soldiers.
Dr. Muehlon also is quoted as saying that in August, 1914, high
German officials boasted that Germany possessed the means of de?
stroying Russia without a single battle, by inciting revolution, and
that the German plan also included the ''liberation" of-Finland and
the Baltic countries, the pretended reinstatement of Poland as a king?
dom, the turning over of Bessarab ia to Rumania and the giving of the
Caucasian territories and Persia to Turkey.
Lloyd George
Calls for More
Men in Crisis;
Will Replace Brigaded
Americans With New
Recruits
LONDON, June 27.?Intervening in
the debate on the new military service
act and speaking of the urgency of ob?
taining men for a serious emergency,
Premier Lloyd George said to-day it
was true the Americans are coming
and being brigaded with the Allies, but
that it was on the distinct understand?
ing that when men were obtained they
should replace the Americans and en?
able the Americans to form their own
divisions.
That was the honorable undertaking
upon which President Wilson was pre?
pared to send over a very large forco
to France, the Premier continued;
hence it was imperative "that we make
a most drastic comb-out in order to
maintain our strength and prestige at
the vital moment."
William M. Hughes, Premier of Aus?
tralia, speaking at a luncheon of the
London Chamber of Commerce to-day,
said that the Allies were facing the
supreme crisis of the war. The next
few weeks were pregnant with tremen?
dous possibilities. The German mili?
tarists fully recognized that they must
either achieve a decisive victory now
or continue a hopeless struggle against
daily increasing odds.
The speech of Dr. von Kuehlmann,
the German Foreign Secretary, he de?
clared, was a clear admission that the
recent enemy offensive had been bar?
ren in its gains and that military suc?
cess, if not impossible, was further off
than ever, and unless victory was
gained politically Germany must pre?
pare for a long war.
The change in the German tone, in
the opinion of Premier Hughes, was
due to a realization of America's great
effort. The Germans also knew that
the Anglo-French armies were confi?
dently awaiting the next onslaught,
while the much vaunted Austrian of?
fensive had spent itself, and any day
might see the Austrian armies in head?
long rout and the civilian population
in open rebellion.

Several Squadrons
Drop Bombs on Paris
_
PARIS, June 28.?Several squadrons
of enemy airplanes penetrated the de?
fences of the Paris district last night.
Anti-aircraft batteries violently shelled
them. \
Several bombs were dropped and ma?
terial dRinage was done. There were j
few victims. The alarm was sounded ,
at 10:30 p. m. and the "all clear" sig?
nal at 12:05 a. m.
This is the second successive night ?
that the enemy has dropped bombs on I
Paris.
PARIS, June 27 (Havas Agency).? j
Few bombs were dropped and no casu?
alties were caused by the German air- :
planes which raided Paris last night,
according to the "Petit Parisien's" re?
port of the German attempt at an air
bombardment.
It appears, says the "Matin," that -
there were two groups of the Gothas.
The greater part of them had to change
the direction of their flight because
of the vigorous barrage fire, and in the
effort to regain their base safely
get rid of their bombs rapidly.
It is pointed out that whereas the
Germans had made six attacks upon
Paris by the air route early in June, !
they had made no attempt upon the j
city, previous to Jast night's, since the j
night of June 15-16.

German Press Comment In-,
dicates Foreign Secretary
May Be Removed
LONDON", June 27.?According to an ;
Amsterdam dispatch to the Central
News, the German Emperor has sent,
the Imperial Chancellor, Count Hert
ling, "a furious telegram" about the
speech of Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, '
the German Foreign Secretary.
The removal from office of Dr. von ;
Kuehlmann can be anticipated, judging
from comments in conservative and
pan-German newspapers on his Reichs?
tag sneech, th-.-Be-'Hta correspondent of
the "Frankfurter Zeitung" says, accord?
ing to a Central News dispatch from
Amsterdam. j
One of the most criticised points ?
in von Kuehlmann's speech was his
reference to negotiations, not military
decisions, ending the war. Dr. Gustav
Stresemann, the National Liberal lead?
er; Count von Westarp, Conservative,
and others protested warmly against
this statement.
Had Depressing Effect
Dr. Stresemann said the speech? had
a most depressing effect. It offered
the German people, he said, stones for
bread. The Deputy declared that not
negotiations but hammer blows
brought peace in the East, and said the
reason the world refused to believe
in German victories is because Ger?
man statesmen are almost afraid to
mention them.
In reply, the Foreign Secretary ex?
plained that what he meant was that
military success must be followed by
diplomatic negotiations. Chancellor
von Hertling also emphasized the same
point, saying von Kuehlmann's state?
ment must not be regarded as weak?
ening the German determination for
victory.
Dr. von Kuehlmann, in answering
criticisms, said:
"Once legends have arisen, they are
difficult to destroy, but I must declare,
with a view to counter attacking the
growth of a legend, that there can be
no question of my having bound my?
self to the idea of a long war."
The foregoing was evoked by a Dep?
uty who referred to "Dr. von Kuehl?
mann's expectation of a war of very
long duration."
Kuehlmann's Fall
Would Be Another
Victory for Junkers
By Arthur S. Draper
(Special Cable to The Tribune)
a (Copyright. 191S, by Tti. Trltmao Aseodatiuu)
LONDON, June 27.?If .von .Kuehl?
mann joins the host of fallen leaders,
including von Bethmann - Hollweg,
Count Czernin and former Premier
Radoslavofr, it will complete the vic?
tory of the Junkers. By German stand?
ard- von Kuehlmann is considered a
liberal and a moderate, and such an
attitude is always under suspicion.
His part in the Russian and Ruma?
nian negotiations was unsatisfactory to
both the Left and the Right, to the for?
mer because he was too grasping and to
the latter because he didn't get more
for Germany.
Von Kuehlmann's speech failed to
. atisfy the Socialist "VorWaerts," and
it enraged the Conservative "Deutsche
Tageszeitung." Though it appealed to
the Liberal "Frankfurter Zeitung," it1
brougnt attucks from the two extremes.

shing's Expeditionary Forces baa
been ordered to Italy, probably as
an advance guard of additional
forces to be sent later, to complete
the unity on that front of Italian.
British, French and American
troops.
Secretary Baker announced to?
day that General Pershing has been
instructed to select a regiment now
in training in France for immediate
movement to Italy. It will be re?
placed by a regiment to be sent from
the United States to fill up the divi?
sion from which it is drawn.
The Secretary's announcement
permits for the first time publica?
tion of the projects that have been
under consideration here, and which
were discussed with General Per?
shing by cable before a decision to
send the first contingent to Italy
from France was reached.
Original Plan Changed
The original pis*, was to ?tue a
part of the mobile reserve of the
American Expeditionary Forces for
the Italian expedition, but later it
appeared likely that the movement
would be made direct from the
United States.
Although there is good reason to
believe the American forces in Italy
will be augmented considerably "
later, to-day's announcement ap?
pears to make it certain that no di?
rect movement from the United
States at an early date is planned.
It is known, however, that the
suggestion has been considered that
the Italian expedition be made en?
tirely independent of General Per
shing's forces, although equally un?
der the direction of General Foch
as supreme commander.
For Political Reasons
The nature of the discussion with
General Pershing concerning the
Italian venture has not been dis?
closed. The fact that he is select?
ing the first regiment to be sent,
however, was taken as indicating
that it resulted in a decision that a
consolidated American force In
France and Italy was the wisest
solution, for the present, at least.
The purpose of sending troops to
Italy, Mr. Baker has explained, is
more for political than military rea?
sons. It is desired to demonstrate
again that the Allied nations and
the United States are one in their
purposes on all fronts, end to ex?
tend the intercourse between the
troops of all the powers at war with
Germany. For this reason there has
been no suggestion that an Ameri?
can army be sent to Italy, although
all troops sent will see actual ser?
vice at the front, associated with
Italian, or more probably French
and British, forces.
