Alabama Senator Urges Congress
to Cease Granting to President
Broad Blanket Powers.
+ (By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb, 20,—Senator
Oggar W. Underwood, of Alabama,
who conténded against Woodrow Wil
son for the Democrmatid presidential
nomination in 1912, this afternoon
warned Congress againgt the danger
of setting up an autocracy at home
while fighting abroad to “make the
world safe for demogracy.” He urged
Congress to cease granting the Pres
ident broad blanket powers
Congress, he declared, had made
many grave mistakes since the war
hegan in its grants of almost unlim
ited power to whe President. These
mistakes, he said, were largely due to
“generosity and patriotism in its en
deuvm‘ to respond to the needs of the
pation.” The time has come for Con
‘gress to pause and congider, ne said.
! “Deomecracy can not be safe,” he
fleclared, ‘in the hands of an auto-
Gratic Government, when the power of
the GGovernment ig placed in the hands
of men and not in the hands of a
Government by law. There is pro
tection in the legieslation against the
despotism of the autocrat and ruth
lpss rule of the mob, provided the
Congress will uphold and maintain
the sovereign powers created by the
people of the United States.
(“But when the Congress of the
United States is prepared to surren
sder a Government of law and estab
fish a Government of men then there
(i 8 danger ahead for the people of the
United States.
“The time for hasty legislation is
passed,” Senator Underwood declared,
“The time has combé for Congress to
‘gonsider and to deliberate well be-
I‘nrn we put on the American people
egislation which does not protect
their fundamental rights even in time
of war. Abandon a Government of
jaw and you come to the autocracy of
{iermany upon one hand and the mob
rule of Russia on the other.”
Senator Underwood praised Repub-
Jjcan Senators for breaking down par-
Yy 'l}nes‘ to support the President's
‘war measures. He declared there was

over the cables during the past 60
hours. The reports that Lenine and
Trotzky were in flight to Riga and
that the Bolshevik regime had been
overthrown by the social revolution
ists aroused interest, but in the ab
sence of any official or definite word
of,such a development, officials today
hesitated to credit them. It was ad
mitted on all sides that Berlin had
bared its hand in the terms of peace
forced upon Lenine and Trotzky and
in the course of events which led up
to them. The pressure brought to
bear was marked chiefly by the re
sumption of the German invasion of
Russia and the subsequent invasion
of Dvinsk, the strategic stronghold dn
the Dvina, and of Lutsk, the Volhyn
ian stronghold which had been the
scene of many sanguinary batties be
fore the overthrow of the Romanoffs,
Both cities were occupied practically
without the firing of a gun.

(By International News Service.)
THE HAGUE, Feb. 20.—The report
that Germany demanded an indemni
ty of §4,000,000,000 from the Bolshevik
Government at Petrograd, was fol
lowed by a report from the German
frontier today that the “indemnity
party” is now willihg to accept the
“equivalent to gold” In cases where
payments are inforced.
The German censorship ‘has been
dealing severely with discussion of
economic aims, but a certain amount
of information is finding its way into
the German newspapers.
Herr Liesching, a member of the
Radical party of Wuerttemberg, was
quoted in 'a speech at Stuttgart as
paying the war has used up so much
of Germany's raw material that she
should be willing to accept them as
“indemnity” if she is able to enforce
any indemnities at all.

the Serbian Press Bureau. As a re
ward of SIO,OOO had been placed on
his head, news of the disposition of
his case is being eagerly awaited.
General Veshovich's surrender may
mark the end of an unusually stormy
and eveniful career. Suspected by the
Austrians of planning a revolt against
them at the time of the Montenegrin
invasion, Von Weber, the Austrian
governor general of Montenegro, or
dered his expulsion and removal from
Austria-Hungary. Veshovich diso
beyed the order and fled with two
brothers after haying slain the Aus
trian sergeant who served the order
of expulsion. Jt was then that the
Austrian governor general set the
reward of SIO,OOO on his head and
held members of the fugitive's family,
including his aged father, as host
ages.
For more thém eighteen months
Veshovich lived in' the inaccessible
mountaihs of northern Montenegro.
Jt is said that misery and starvation,
with the fear that others might suf
fér on his account, led him to sur
rend®r.
