Department Officials Declare Danger of Uprising Has Passed—See Hand of Trouble Makers.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 26.—Administration officials tonight declared danger of a Filipino uprising has passed. While a number of reports tell of the squelching of an outbreak Christmas eye, details are withheld pending a complete report which has been asked from Governor General Harrison. He was away from Manila for the Christmas-New Year's holidays, but it is understood here tonight that he has started back for the capital.

At the war department it was stated that Major General Thomas H. Barry, commanding the Philippine division, is in complete control of the situation. The uprising, if it can be dignified by that name/ was nipped in the bud by his direct orders.

It has been known by the officials for some months an organized effort was being made to bring about disaffection in the islands. Money was being spent with a lavish hand by certain individuals. The government nas a complete report regarding the expenditures and their exact source.

While official circles are extremely,- secretive, it is understood that a part of this money at least has been traced to sources interested in making trouble between the United States and the Filipinos. Certain rumors afloat in official circles say that a/t least one foreign power was involved but on this subject officials posltivedy refuse to say anything.

German Supply Base on English Island

LONDON, Dec. 26 (By mail to New York.)—Until recently the Germans actually had a submarine base in the English channel on teritory belonging to the British crown. Destroyers of English ships got their supplies right under England's very nose for a time.

This developed here today when details were learned of the circumstances which resulted In the cancellation of the lease for the Island of Herm. Home Secretary McKenna, In the house of commons, announced the cancellation of the lease and the occupation of Herm by British troops. This fact was cabled to America, but how the island was serving as a German submarine base has Just developed.

The government leased the Mand of Herm in 1899 to a German *company, and the company in turn leased it to Prince Bluecher, a descendant of the "famous Prussian' general, who oooperated with We/llington in the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. There the prince lived the life of an eccentric recluse for several years.

DEBS APPEALS FORIEO FRANK

Continued from Page One.

family," instead of an alien Jew, he would not even have leen arrested upon the testimony of a "nig&'er," who was himself ruspected of the crime, and, In all likelihood, the case would have been summarily disposed of by lynching the 'nlggtr."

The quostion at this time Is not as to Frank's innoence or guilt, but as to whether or not he had a fair trial, and in that question every American citiztn is vitally Interested.

Now no one, least of all those who are thirsting for his blood, pretends that Frank was lairly tried. From the very beginning his fate was sealed, the court house in which the farce was staged was surrounded by an an gry and threatening crowd. Every point scored against the unfortunate victim was greeted with an outbreak, which the court made no attempt to suppress, and when finally the verdict of guilty was brought in by tho trembling jury, a d«monstration of frensled jubilation followed, which, even had he been guilty. woull have been a dls grace to a civilized community.

Not an editor (tared to protest not a minister opened his mouth, although 11 waB notorious that ihe lawyers fv the defense and the jury were threat oned with summary vengeanco if Frank was not convicted.

If tho presumption of innocence Is not valid in the case of Leo Frank simply because he is a Jew, then not one of lis has ajiy rigttt to the protection of Ihe law. The constitutional guaran tees of the accused have been denle him, he has boen convicted upon purely circumstantial evidence and this evidence of rtimslest character, and if he Is permitted to go to his death under such circumstances It will be an everlasting disgrace to the country.

The Bouth is blinded by race prejudice, one of the Inheritances of chattel slavery. There is no law and no justice for the black man in that section* and I have traveled over it long enough to know. The bare suspicion of guilt Is sufficient warrant to lynch a "nigger." It js In this atmosphere and environment that Frank, "tho damned Jew," has been railroaded.

The prosecution went over his entire past with a Bcarchllght, but was unable to find a particle of evidence agslnet Frank's moral character, and so far as tho actual evidence Is concerned he stands absolutely innocent bifore the world.

Just Imagine yourself in the place of Leo Frank, and innocent of the shocking crimo with which he Is charged and for which he is to be hanged!

Supposo him to be innocent, what shall ne think of our civilization, and What shall we think of ourselves?

The law gives him the baneflt of the doubt, and if this be denied him, the bbui ts outlaw themselves and civilization itself stands impeached.

This Is not a case thfi,t concerns the state of Georgia alone. The oonstitulon of the United States haa been vlo lated and its protection denied a citizen charged with crime in a prejudiced community, and this of itself is sufficient to make the cese of Leo Frank the case of every American citiaon.

Let the publio sentiment be aroused until ]yn n-iaw la rebuked in Georgia and Leo Frank Is given a fair trial and a just verdict. EUGENE V. DEBS,

GERMAN ADVANCE CHECKED.

Petrograd Says Attack on Warsaw Has Been Brought to 8top. PETROORAJ), Dec. 26.—Aftrfr a week of constant fighting, tho German offensive against the Bzura river in the attempted drive upon Warsaw has been brougiht to a complete halt. This is the claim made here tonight, based upon reports from the battle front. It is now believod that the Russian army will soon be able to start a counter drive toward Warsaw, again forcing the troops of Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg back upon their lines, 35 miles further west from which they advanced after the capture of Lods. It is admitted here that much des perate fighting is still in progress in Poland. Though the Germans have failed in their efforts to cross the Bzura and Rawka rivers, great pressure is being exerted upon the Russian lines along the Pllica to the south The Russian front from the Vistula, through Sochaczow, along the Rawka river east of Skiernlewice and southward to Opoczno, remains intact, despite the efforts of the Germans to find a weak spot during the past week.

One Movement Repulsed. Military authorities declare it is becoming more and more apparent that the Germans were placing great dependence in the success of the advance through Northern Poland, which was attempted by General Francois. This movement was repulsed, and the Russians have been able to maintain their entire strength west of Warsaw without being in danger of an attack from the northwest, as was planned by Von Hindenburg in the advance fromt Mlawa.

The German positions along the Bzura and Rawka, from a defensive standpoint, are all but as strong as those occupied by the Russians on'the eastern banks. It is realized that they could be disturbed only after bitter and costly fighting, and the prospects are that Russian offensive operations will certainly be delayed until a decision is reached in the attack along the Pilica.

In Southern Poland, along the Nlda, In the Dunajee valley and in the Carpathians, great Russian gains are reported today. The Austrian offensive has been practically broken, it is declared, Fighting in the snow-choked valleys on the northern slopes of the Carpathians has now been In progress for two weeks. The topography of the country has prevented oonoerted movements by the enemy, and commands have been cut off and annihilated on repeated occasions. Hundreds of prisoners have been taken and upwards of 60 guns captured.
