ACTION MAT COME ANT TIME
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. An
armistice In the battle on the admin
istration shipping bill in the senate
came tonight after one of the most
strenuon parliamentary struggles
congress has known in recent years.
From 11 a. m. yesterday all through
last night and today and into another
night the contest proceeded with ' a
spirit little Wort, of desperation on
both sides, until the wearied leaders
agreed to a recess at midnight until
19 a. m. onday.
Always Just ahead "was a final, vote
on the shipping- Mil. which would 'break
the senate deadlock and release the block
ade of legislation." - The presiding officer
had crfiered fhe ayes and nays on the
vote, nd no farther, parliamentary ad
(vto Was ' available to the. opposing re
publicans. Physical endurance alone re
jnaines to .hold back the talcing of the
ota. . '
Means No Letap.
Although the democrats proposed the
recess over ' Sunday to ' Interrupt the
'thirty-seven-hour continuous debate; ad
ministration leaders Insisted that the
action meant no let up In their determin
ation to press the bill.
"We agreed, to the recess' because of
Sunday," said Senator-SImmoVis, "just
as we.vdld in. the filibuster against the
rrvers and harbors appropriation bill last
fell But beginning. Monday at 10 o'clock
it is our purpose to press the bill with
all the force that Is In our power."
Senator Simmons announced he was au
thored to deny reports that the admin
istration was considering withdrawing the
shipping bill from the senate. He stated
that he could say authoritatively that
there was not one scintilla of truth in the
report. ' .

Smith of Michigan relieved his republican
colleagues who. had been . holding the
floor since1 early Monday morning, when
Senator . Smoot . concluded .. his .. all-nl gh t
speech.
, Smith Paints) Soase."
Senator Smith turned his attention to
the bitter arraignment of the admlulstra
t Ion's policy and painted a gloomy word
picture of - the business condition of the
country under the democratic' tariff. An
era of "record-breaking business mortal
ity'' had followed the enactment of that
tariff, he said, and he characterised the
shipping bill as the -"fifth administration
folly. - " J ' '
i "l don't think we have ever had a pres
ident who' was. so hopeful 'with so little
cause as.tbe present incumbent of r the
White ilouee;" he said. - "From the dsy
he signed the tariff bill he has, not let a
week go by without proclaiming" that
prosperity was here."
Senator Smith read many figures which
he declared proved the , conditions he
had' recited," and - repeatedly - challenged
the democrats to answer his statement
Majority members .refused to be drawn
into I a' tariff debate, however, Ignoring
the challenges with weary, apathetic
silence,

R. CARNEGIE In his otatemeat of last Sun- .
M
day, in my mind cctmntts several rather
grate '. errors. He; charges Germany : for
not having accepted a conference pro
posal, which in. Mr. Carnegie's mind .
would certainly harve led to the maintenance of pefce.
Mr. Carnegie misunderstands the situation: The'
principal factors in the first pnase of the conflict were
Austria-Hungary and Servia, not, Germany.
Americana very often believe that Austrla-Huif-gary
Is a sort of a weakened and small nation that
must more or leas follow the dictates of Germany.
Nothing ie farther from the mark. Until ls68 Austria
Hungary dominated all of Germany and has done so
for many centuries back. It has an area considerably
larger than Germany's.' (Austria-Hungary, 678,061
square km.; Germany, 540, 858 km.) ..
When Germany had 65.000,000 Inhabitants, Austria-Hungary
bad 51,400,000 Inhabitants, and there
with surpasses every-other European nation in popu
lation, except Russia. It has 6,000,000 bouIs' more
than Great Britain, 12,000,000 more than France, 17,
.000,000 more than Italy. And It has oee'n the fore
power of Eastern Europe until the appearance of the
great Russian empire.
Austria Abto ti Work Out Its Own Deetiny.
It is quite clear that a country or that aLie, of that '
population and of that history (the German emperors '
bare for more than tsoo nundrted years hack bees
Austrian princes) is abla to work out by Itself Its own
destiny, and that claim It brought forward la trying
to settle its difference with Servia alone and without
the intervention of the European concert
It seems to be generally accepted In the United
States that Rusula hat some right to take Servia under
Swiss regiment, piaxdin
drifts.

neither a contlgloug nation, nor baa It any other Inter
est In Servia than to have it as a tool to harass Ita
' own southern neighbor, Austria-Hungary.
When the Servians which, has never been dis
puted carried revolution Into Austria-Hungary, tried
td tear off province from that empire by underground
propaganda, committed several acta of violence, and
when finally the murder of. two Austro-Hungarlaa
princes could be traced back to the-ruling circle la
Belgrade, Austria-Hungary took the matter Into Us
own hands and tried to settle with lta neighbor Itself.
I wonder what the United States would say, It
England or Germany would have, put forward the
claim ' that the United States, before shelling Vera

.take In obtaining a satisfactory settlement of its
rightful claims against Mexico. And If any South
American nation would claim to prptect Mexico on
' account of kindred blood and religion, it would cer
tainly not bo tolerated.
It Is because of this situation not being under
stood that everything that Is being done by Austria
Hungary Is considered as being done with the Joint

. process of thinking, is being charged to Germany ex
clusively. ,
