PALMER'S HOPES VANISH Former Congressman from Pennsyl 1 vania Considered for Office Un til Few Days Ago. I President Wilson in a few days will tender the appointment of counselor of i the State Department to Frank I.. Polk, corporation counsel of the city of New York. llr. Polk is an accomplished law er and stands high in the esteem of j President Wilson and Secretary of the I Treasury McAdoo. Ho was selected by I Mr. McAdoo for collector of the port of j Sew Tork In the early days of the ad j ministration, but the appointment tvaa j prevented by Senator O'Gorman. SJcre ! tary of State Ianslntr is understood to have chosen Mr. Polk for the connselor ship. This disclosure, which comes from a high administration authority, shows clearly that friends of former Represent ative A. Mitchell Palmer have realized the inadvlsabllity of further urging him for the counselorship. President Wilson, with a few inconspicuous exceptions, has adhered to the rule of permitting his Cabinet members to select the men to be appointed to positions in their respec tive departments. Until a few days ago, when disclosures were published regarding a mysterious White House visitor who was designated by the initials. "M. K." and who appar ently secured Information from the Presi dent which was passed on to agents of the German government, Mr. Palmer was believed to be under favorable considera tion for the counselorship. Mr. Palmer himself has issued a statemnt denying emphatically that he was the "M. P." "re ferred to in the newspaper disclosures. Mr. Polk's selection Is not regarded as a special mark of approval for the reform element In the New York Democratic ianks, where he has been politically piominent. He is understood to have been the personal selection of Secretary Lansing, who possibly acted without ex tended consultations with administration officials. RUSSIA LOSES HOPE OF AID FROM ALLIES Petrograd Editor Changes Tune, According to Berlin Dispatch. Berlin (by wireless). Aug. 26. The fol lowing was among tn" ""Items given out today by the Overseas News Agency: 'The latest number of the Russian newspaper Novoe Vremya arriving in Copenhagen from St. Petersburg (Petro grad) contains an interesting item illus trating Russian sentiment. Menlshkoe, editor of the paper, has been printing dally articles headed "We Must Con quer.' "The editor received so many letters asking him to change the caption that he was constrained to give the following reply: " 'It is true that Russia has been weak ened and exhausted, but Germany Is in similar condition. If Russia could only put her trust in the allies, whose duty It now is, to fight for Russia to the last man! But this also Is fruitless. It Is time to give up hope.' " TAFT SCORES REFORMERS. Ex-President Unfolds Pence PInn to San Franciscans. San Francisco, Aug. 26. Declaring that reform leaders are piloting the people Into excesses which are stifling American business enterprise and threatening the prosperity of the republic, former Prcsi dent William II. Taft, at a luncheon In his honor at the Commercial Club this afternoon, flung defiance to labor union leaders, to nonpartlsanshlp, to State rail road commissions, and to "the great re formersself constituted friends of the people." Taft advocated a plan to bring the great powers Into a treaty In which they should agree to submit all justiciable questions to an international tribunal. If one member of the league made pre mature or unjust war upon another the remaining members would stand pledged to support the nation attacked. 275 Texans Killed by Storm. Houston. Tex.. Aug. 16.
