as an event of great lmportandte which may have far-reaching results. The Daily. Mail and the Daily 3Express agree that this assassination May have morneijtous consequences and compare it to'the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Srajevoy four years ago., "the Express adds:."German influence (iq Russia) can only be established on a solid basis by the maintenance of. a great army of occupation.-Russia, may" once njQre play a part In the war."

The Daily Chronicle expects that If the German emperor has his way therd will be a march on Moscow accompanied by rutjilesg" severities, although It is possible a m'olte jJlTidenf policy may prevail, especially as Lenine and .Tchitcherin will accept almost any demands for reparation, however abject.

Will Cause Complications. PARIS, July 8.—In their comments 5n ''the assassination of Count Von Mtrbach, the Paris newspapers" are unanimous in expressing the opinion the event will be likely to cause complications, the importanoe of which cannot be gauged. I

"The

That there wrts something wrong with the Columbia several hours before she sank is the story told today by Willian Tinney, of Pekln, who. with his wife, was one of the survivors. ''I and my wift, were on the^ boat wtth Mr. and Mrs. George Hlnes," Tinney declared. "Mr. Hines is an old river man and on the trip up the river from Pekin noticed the boat was drawing too much water. Mr. Hines went down to the engine room to tell the engineer his suspicions and he says the engineer admitted it looked like something waa wrong. So far aa I know, however* no attempt was made to ascertain the cau^e."

awakening the ten-

'geance of RuiJisia against German tyranny" is the light in which Le Journal views It, while the Petit Journal wonders if it will not open a new phase of

Germany's difficulties iff the east. "Iri the state of tension existing between Russia and Germany," says tho Figaro, "this assassination may lead to the most interesting complications." Humanite considers the act "not a vulgar assassination, but an act of open rebellion by exasperated patriotism."

The assassinatioa as the Matin views lt, "shows that there are still in Russia men concerned with the dignity of their country and imbued with patriotism," and the Petit Parisien, .comments that it "probably was patriotic indignation caused by tha aproach of the German invader which provoked the killing.**

Alexander F. Keren sky, former premier of Russia, when informed by The Associated Press of the assassination of Gen. Count -Von Mlrbach, German ambassador at Moscow, declared that while he could not "feel elated at the death of a human being, he could not help saying, it is a good thing for Rus-' sia." M. Kerensky seemed reluctant to believe the news, asking repeatedly/ "are you sure?"

When informed that the news seemed perfectly reliable, as lt originated in Berlin, he said: "This may be the beginning of the renaissance of Russia, But now the Germans will surely go to Moscow,", he added, sadly.

It was only a few days ago that Kerensky, in a talk with the correspondent, expressed his opinion that the only reason German troops had not vet appeared in Moscow was because Von Mirbach had not required their presence there. •Should circumstances demand the appearance of German troops," said the former prepxler on this occasion, "Von Mjrbach. the*Teal ruler of Russia, will surely cAU upon them His ability to govern without the help of German bayonets has alone prevented the appearance of German spiked helmets in the ancient c&pitfti of lUa. covite Empire."1 .... ..

As aoon as the'news of Ihe assassination of Count Von Mirbach, German ambassador at Moscow, came to M. Tchitcherin, the Russian foreign minister, M. Tchitcherin and his associate( M.

PARIS. July 8.—Bx-Premier Keren sky, of .Russia, in an interview by bis fellow, countryman, Harlperine Kaminsky, printed in the Excelsior today, gives his opinion on the subject of Japanese intervention in Russia more definitely than he has done heretofore.

Kerensky said: i :"It is time, once for all, to undOTstand pur position. We have no prejudice against the Japanese people. Theyalways have been loyal even during our struggle in MaJichuria before the war and during the war. but that is not tlie question, "It is the auestion once more of not playing the. game of the Bolsheviki and their German protectors by giving them the opportunity of exploiting anew the ignorance of the Russian masses in making them believe the Japanese are coming to make war on

The latest drtrw fey the m»n from the Antipodes launched last night, resulted in what is described by the British official atatement aa a slight advance.

The aggregate of the ground gained recently in this area, ha? been considerable, however and the new progress made has apparently effected a considerable movement in the British position along a front of well toward two mites on both sides of the river Sommr.

While the British are thus fortifying themselves against tho expected renewal of the Oerman offensive in one of the sectors where it is considered quitedikely to be launched, the French are finding- themselves somewhat actively engaged in an artillery duel on the westerly side of the Marne salient.
