MILITARY CRITIC 10 FACE COUNCIL NEAKIKG

British Government To Discipline General Maurice For Alleged Unjust Criticisms.

l»ON*DON. Maj 7.—Andrew Bonar Law, government spokesman in the house of commons, announced today that the government proposes to ask two judges to act as a court of honor to investigate the charges made by Gen. Frederick iB. Maurice, who was recently removed from the post director of military operations at the British war office.

He said the army council was dealing with questions of discipline growing out of a letter "written by Gen. -Maurice.

Gen. Maurice last month was transferred from the British war office to active duties in the field. His position as chief director of military operations was taken over by General Delma Radciifte, formerly chief staff officer of the Canadian army, and chief of the British military mission af Italian headquarters.

Shortly before his transfer. Gen. Maurice in one of his customary weekly Interviews with American newspaper men made remarks which were considered in some quarters as reflecting on General Fcch, the commander-tr-chief of the combined allied forces.

At one point of the interview he drew a parallel betwen the situation on the b.itttle fronts In France as it stood then and the battle of Waterloo when Wellington was awaiting the arrival of Biucher.

Gen. Maurice then asked "what is llappening to Blixher—what has b^©r,me of the reserves?" f.m the following day Gen. Haig, commander of the British forces, announced, that Fiench reinforcements had reached ths British front and this ^as taken as proof br military critics that Gen. Maurice's intimation that Koch was slow in coming up was %njust.

Witnesses In I. W. W. Case Testify To Publication of Literature. CHICAGO. May 7.—Government in-..vet-tigators and expert accountants who examined

+h«

seized records of the

Industrial Workers of the World and secret service men who gained information' while masquerading as mem"bers of the organization, wore callei tn the witness stand this afternoon in the seditious conspiracy trial olfl 112 leaders of the I. W. W.

With the testimony of two more publishers the prosecution completed its chain ,of evidence relative to publioatlon of great quantities of books,and pamphlets by the I. W. W. shortly before America entered the war and during the three months' period follow--tag. Alexander Burger, a Chicago publisher, said that a month before the declaration of war against Germany, booklets were ordered in large lot3 and that WnK D. Haywood, general secretary-treasurer, himself. placed an order for *20.000 copies of one publication.

Nearly a scor^ of organizers of the W. W. today tried to gain entrance

to the courtroom but were halted by special guards. They offered to submit 4o search for weapons if they were permitted to enter, but were ordered -from the building.

IRELAND IS QUIET.

Anti-Conscription Campangn Goes Forward With Considerable Energy. LONDON* May 6.—Ireland remained *emarkably quiet, says the Dublin corrc&pondtnt of tbe Daily Mail in Ie|orting on condition? there incident to the anti-conscription campaign. "Although the church is raising," he «.dds, "an enormous 'national defense fund,' which is ostensibly beiftg collected to fight conscription, it apparently does not .prefer to accept responsibility for the monner in wl'itii the money is spent and control of the fund has passed into the hands of the Sinn Feiners. The lists of names of men

!*vho

signed the anti-conscription

s pledge under the* direction of the priests is said to be in the hands of jBinn Feiners as a basis for a registration system. "Conditions appear daily to be growinn worse as nationalism is being •spread further along on the Sinn Fein flood. Moderate men of the Irish con-

\ention have faded out of public recognition and it is quite obvious that whatever are the government's home rule proposals they will be rejected (contemptuously of the bulk of the country and denounced more passionately than was conscription."

THIS DRUGGIST KNOWS BEST KIDNEY MEDICINE

There is no medicffie which we handle that gives such good results as your Swamp-Root. Many of our customers have informed us at different times that they have derived great benefit from its use.

There was one case in particular which attracted a great deal of attention in this neighborhood, early last spring, as the gentleman's life was despaired of, and two doctors treating him for liver and kidney trouble were unable to give him any relief. Finally a specialist from St. Louis was called in but failed to do him any good. I at last induced him to try your Swamp-Root and after taking it for three months he was attending to his business as usual, and is now entirely well. This case has been the means of creating an increased demand for your SwampRoot with us.

Very truly yours.

WAR RISK INSURANCE LAW TO BE EXTENDED

Conscientious Objectors Will Not Be Allowed To Benefit By Law— Extends To Parents.

WASHINGTON, May 7— Extension of the war risk insurance law to make more liberal the payment of benefits to dependent relatives of soldiers, is provided in a bill by Representative Sims, of Tennessee, now under consideration by the house interstate and foreign commerce committee.

Under the proposed amendments, which are recommended by the war risk bureau, the conscientious objector who is discharged from service is left without benefits. Other honorably discharged soldiers, except those, dismissed for coming under the enemy alien restrictions, are permitted to retain the insurance benefits. Those discharged after discovery is made that they are enemy aliens, -will be dealt with so far as the insurance is concerned, the same as the conscientious objector.

Under the amendments payment "of compensation is broadened to meet all disabilities incurred whilp in the active service of the United States. The original measure provided only for the payment of compensation for injuries received in the performance of duty. The only restriction now proposed is that compensation will not be paid where injuries have been suffered because of "wilful misconduct."

Payment of compensation to mothers and fathers of soldiers who are dependent also is proposed. Under the existing statute only mothers who are widows are eligible for compensation.

The French declined to reinstate the old engineer and tlis last seen of him he was taking his engine and box car backward on the return trip to south Russia.

Over New Railway.

For the first hundred miles or so out of Odessa the trains carrying the allied missions from Rumania traveled over a new railway which had been completed only a short time before by Russian military engineers. It was rather a circuitous route but it was believed the Germans were ignorant of its existence and that it was sa£6r than the old lines.

On the second day when the train bearing the Americans was about 200 miles north of Odessa, one- of the doctors saw a flash of fire away off on the horizon. It was followed quickly by a loud explosion and a great geyser of earth and rocks as a shell burst in a

Nobody knew what was going on,-but the general belief was that the train had come within sight of *a distant German observation post, which was trying to direct the fire of its batteries on the railway track. Seventy men on board declared the shells were 6.9 inch or larger.
