FIIIST 11A1T DIDN'T TEMPT. The chairmanship of tho Appropilntlons Committee was hold out to Congressman Varu by national Hcpubllcan leadors for homo tlmo as the "bait" for keeping him out of the mayoralty ince.

Tho Vares, since Thomas H. Smith was sworn In as Public Service Commissioner, hold undisputed control of tho situation, and until they define their attitude tho way out of tho Hepubllcan Organization mayoralty maze will not be found. It Is fully expected In the Vare camp that Congressman Vare will be a candi date, nnd that he will announce his can didacy a few days before August 31, tho list da for filing nomination papers. In the meantime, the forces thnt op pose Congressman Varo's candidacy arc organizing to support Congressman .1. Hampton Moore.

The President, who Is comersant with some of the more important details, ins called upon the heads of all departments to submit to him a digest of all Informa tion so far obtained. Io has discussed the subject with Attorney General Greg ory and Secretary Daniels, Sir Cecil Spring-nice, the British Am bassador, has had an extended conference with Secretary Lansing. There is good reason to believe that the activity of German agents was taken up. The Brit ish Foreign Office Is credited with having given much Information to the State De partment, particularly In relation to the attempt, auegea to nave been made by German agents, to foment revolution among the Filipinos. One phase of the recent expose that has attracted serious attention from the Administration la a letter addressed to an unnamed German official of high rank, advising htm of efforts to create sentiment in Congress favorable to an embargo on munitions of war. A num. ber ot Important Democratic statesmen ware mentioned as bolng favorable to the movement.

The Tuiklsh Government subsequently insisted that Italian ships be sent to Asm Minor, whereupon, th steamship Cagllail and Tolcnialdu were dispatched to Rhodes for that purpose. Now that the Porto lias arbltiarlly re fused to allow the departure of tho Ital ian citizens, a war between Ituly and Tuikey, which It lint been hoped was averted, seems again inevitable.

Most Powerful Artillery in ' World Invented LONDON. Aug IS, A great Hrltlsh offensive ngalnat the Germans in Flandeis will be launched Rtion, according to persons high In Bu. thorlty. Tho mystery of the delay of Lord Kitchener In hulling his great army against tho Teuton lines Is explained by tho same officials. Their explanation Is that Lord Kltch. oner has been walling to launch "h great surprise." And this surprise lies In the completion of new guns and a new type of shell which It Is believed wilt i,u.uuini umiiury upernuons and mnko tho path of the Allies to Berlin more possible thnn hltheito. Soon nfter tho beginning or iiie war, when It became patent tlu, high ex'. ploslies Wfic to be tho dominating facto: In tho struggle for vlcloiy, t'.e combined eftorts of Urltlsli chemists an 1 ordnanca expeits Invented a shell uwirestlonablv more powerful than any pievimsly used. In dcstiuctlvc power It was, without doubt, superior to any previously known. A variation In explosive , oiniosltlon ren dered IL likely to supcisede u!l types in use.

Theso tuok place, with a icsult thot every gun so used was either almost blown to pieces or rendered unfit for soi vice for a considciable period. Tha only way out was to llnd guns suitable for tho task As fnr back as last November Govern ment expeits weie nt work on this prob- ' lcm. They experimented with various nllovs of steel, tiylug to llnd one that would stand the strain of snrh a shell. Finally they succeeded. Thev produced a 17-Inch gun that would suit thli purpose. Various experiments havo been made, and nio beliovcd to have been entirely euo cessful. It Is stated thnt the shell wilt be carried 25 miles and will work havoc on a scalo entirely unprecedented. Thus is nnsweied the (piesilon why no ndvance ns mmle when nri.aw was nbout to fnll and the main bulk of the German tioops weie cnnrentiiited on that . front. j8 rM,.llMJ, why after tho great movement of Kltchenci's nrmy to France nnr'y In Julv the troops wore not used.
