Latest Indications, However,
Are That Failure Will
Result
Washington, Feb. 9. The most sen
sational and drastic attempt to throttle
a filibuster ever made in the United
States sennted seemed doomed to fail
ure this afternoon.
Republican members and their allies,
tho seven democrats who revoTled
agaist their party leaders, defeated the
friends of the government ship purchase
bill on every trial of strength. Twice
during the day's session the upper
house decided that a proposal by Hen-,
afor Heed thut senators be kept in the
chamber constantly as long as the body
was in session, could be debated as long
as any sonator wished to talk. On the
first test of strength the vote resulted
38 to 3il against the adniinistraion
forces and ou the second test 40 to 38.
The net result of Heed's proposal
was not to block the filibuster but
actually to widen the scope of the de
bate and furnish new subjects for the
filibustering republicans to discuss. If
thc senate should adopt Hood's pro
posal, it would mean that a vote (in tho
ship purchase bill would havo to come
when the eudiiraneo of the filibustering
seutors hud been exhausted. It would
be impossible, under the Heed plan, for
the filibustered toi divide themselves
into watches, some sleeping while tho
otiiers filibustered, thus prolonging in
definitely the session of the senate.
Today's session was merely a con
tinuation of thnt M'hich began at 10
o'clock Monday and which was carried
through lust night by a long speech by
Senator Jones of Washington.
"Seeing the hopelessness of passing his
continuance-attendance resolution, Sen
ator Hood later attempted to withdraw
it. The republicans objected and Heed
then moved thnt it be tubled, which
would kill it. This was done without a
rollcall. '
Senator Hitchcock, of Xebrnska, of
fered a sarcastic substitute fur tho
Heed resolution pivvnting further cau
cuses and conferences between senators
and I'residilit Wilson and ordering all
members to vote their own convictions.
"I don't criticize the president,"
said Hitchcock. "He is a ninn with
strong convictions, wild nuturally will
make every ettort to carry them out.
I do criticize the weuk-kneeded subser
viency on the part of the men in a co
ordinate branch of the government."

German Guns Have Range of
Twenty-Six American Miles
By J. W. T. Manon.
(Former European Manager of tho
United Tress.)
New York, Feb. 9. Count Von Zep
pelin, defending the killing of civilians
by nirship, asks how it is possible to
tell where even a cannon shell will
strike.
"For instance," ho added, "sholls
from the new Kriipp guns have a re
ported range of 42 Kilometers."
Forty-two kilomotors equul 26 Amer
ican miles. Hep rts have been circulat
ed since tho outbreak of the war that
Germany possesses guns competent to
fire across the miles of the Strait of
Dover, but Count Von Zeppelin is tho
first German of recognized standing
to confirm thc rumor. Guns capable
of firing into England from tho French
coast would be of some value to tho
Germans if they could reach Calais and :
mount rifles opposite Dover. Hut even battles are not won by bombarding dis
hero the damage done would be local,! tout townB, The intervening army has
for the coast line curves abruptly audi to be drivca off first.

It is possiblo, however, that the guns
might bo mounted on especially con
structed stenmers and bombard Eng
lund moro effectively from mid-channel.
But then there aro serious dififeulties
in the way of ensuring the Bafety of
tho ship from the recoil of a gun so
huge as the latest Krupp invention.
Tho most effective nrtillory of tho
present war is thj French "Soixunte
quinzo," which is 0 3-inch gun worked
with maximum efficiency at a a rnnge
of a few thousand yards. The 42-kil.
meter guns which the Germans used to
destroy the forts at Liege, Antwerp
and Idaubciige have been of little use
in field operations. Artillery, as a mut
ter of fact, can quickly ovorreac.h itself
in Win fluid. A gun with a rang of 10
mill's may find its principal utility in
bombarding towns at a distance But
