He is 20 years of age. Revolt Is Spreading. There is no doubt in the niind of of ficiala that the parliamentary revolt in , Germany is spreading. The aeriousness of the situation, as Washington sees it, is that the reformists have control of the reichstag. Thus they are able to postpone or refuse a vote on tne war credits bill. In such a contingency ths German autocracy has two courses left Kmc, to make some concesHinons; the other, to prorogue the refractory parlia ment. But in the latter event, it was pointed out, new elections must be call ed witmn uu days under tno werman fundamental law. Officials did not think it .likely the junkers would risk general election, with its certain full discussion of the wnoie war situation .Therefore, they believe the autocracy (Would seek to offer specious concessions to lull the reformers. .

' The newspaper, therefore, "considers reports of their resignations as dofinitoly proved." There was direct conflict in Berlin advices today aa to the date of the next reichstag session. One dispatch assert ed a meeting would be held today. Oth ers declared the parliament's sittings had been indefinitely postponed because the majority merely adopted blocking tacties, preventing all business. The main committee sittings have also been postponed, according to belief hero. Such a situation in the reichstag im perils the much-desired credit vote urged by the government. The Berlin Tageblntt today suggests the government intends to create a par llamentary council of state, consisting of 15 members of the reichstag. They are to represent parliament in all discussions as to governmental poll cies and to aid in decisions on them, eventually replacing the federal coun cil. The newspaper adds that this re placement in the scheme would probably be postponed until tne end or tno war. The Vorwaerls, socialist organ, ridi cules the proposal as "fit to insiiiro the comic newspapers. " ' Bitter Against Austria. " ' Amsterdam, July 14. In "a bitter at tack, on. Austrian interference in Ger many's internal political . fight, the Berlin Lokl Anzeiger charged that an unnamed Viennese statesman telegraph ed the Gorman government that Chan cellor Hollweg'a removal would be dan gerous. i The Viennese mentioned is supposed to be Count Czernin, minister of foreign affairs. The attack is probably the reason why the I.okul Anr.oiger was ordered suppressed today. Is Suppressed. 'Amsterdam, July 14. The Berlin I.o kal Anaeiger was suppressed by the Gorman government today, presumab ly because of the frankness of the dis cussion of the peace and parliament situation In recent issues. The Lokal Anzeiger has heretofore been classified as an independent but semi-government organ, many of its leading articles being regarded as in spired.

Insist on Peace Terms. By John Qrandena. (I'nitod Press Bta'ff correspondent.) Berlin, Julv 13. (Via London, July 14.) (Delayed.) The center party's demand as to Germany's peace terms is finding support in the reichstag becatse it is felt that adoption of these sugges tions by the government would be ef fective answer to the entento's claims that Germany must be crushed to achieve its democratization. If the gov ernment approves the center party's policy, it is held this act would show Cermany's democracy at this present time. For this reason, the situation iii the reichstag today was regarded as having an important bearing on the war's end. Rumors of the resignation of Chaneel lor Von Bethmann-Hollweg arose through the fact that prior to the meet-J pi,. of the West Australia Autorao ing of the crows council he, with all; bile club.

" America's Board of War Directors Acting through Daniel Willard, pres ident of the Baltimore k Ohio, the government has so coordinated the rail- roailB of the -country that they now work as one large system, under the direction of Willard. Of course, it's breaking the law, for a combination of this sort to be effected, but right now tne government is not worrying over 4 few laws which may be benefi cial, and again may not. Daniel Willard started in the rail road business as a track worker. He has worked in practically every posi tion tioni tnero to the top. i ne coordination or transportation facilities is vital to the defense of a nation with an arinv as small and a coast lino as long as that of the United States. It is tins work which Daniel Willard has recently successfully com pleted. He now is virtually head of the entire railroad system of the United Slates, some 250.000 miles. Daniel Willard is just "solid man clear through. He is however, terrible "gun shy of newspaper reporters," and stenographers he has dictated to say he "ain't tho best in the world to take dictation from.''

New, York, July 14 It is a strange thing that the average fight fan or" to day is one of the greatest howlers the world ever saw when mention is made of a heavyweight tangle. The general impression, following sundry-raw exhi bitions is that a heavyweight nowadays is a slice of cheese. As a matter of fact, the- record of Fred Fulton, the foremost contender for I Jess Willard 's championship, is a great 'tal the mos PPular meu who ever fought jjjj as heavyweights. 329 j The record of Jim Jeffries doesn't - carry the awe-inspiring series of knock louts as does Fulton's. Robert Fitzsim nions' great record of fights he won by 'fiio B kntckoilt doesn't compare very well wim ruiton-s, and John L. Sullivan's record is not to be compared in the same breath with Fulton's. Fulton'g record shows he has engaged in thirty-five bouts. Of these he has won twenty-five by knockout. Once he was flattened and he has lost two oouts on fouls. Jettnes went to the squared circle tor twenty-one counters, and on seven invasions ne was returned winner bv a Knockout. Sullivan appeared in thirty-six bat tles, just one more than Fulton, but he was able to win only eight of them by hnockouts. ' Fitzsiniinons fought forty times, and won only twenty-three of 'thein with a finishing punch. It may be argued that these hamp ions were meeting far better men than the average heavyweight of today. However, it will be freely admitted that none of them was any better than Pam Langford, who Fulton has credit of a knockout Over. And Fulton has barred none of thein. He is ready to meet all of them. In view of these records it is a ratlun- queer -turn -ox affairs that makes fans refer to the old days of Fitzsiniinons, Sullivan and Jeffries when the talk turns to heavyweights. commission and patriotic observance of the Fall of the Bastile marked the day 's program. , During the morning hours the commission was taken for an automobile tour of the city.'

Formal release papers will be filed Monday and the famous case will be withdrawn from the federal court at that time, it was announced.
