Judge Bonnlwell will be Ignored in the'

his reported suggestion for a "wet"

will receive no .consideration. This nro-
gram of disciplining the Democratic
nominee was agreed upon at a secret

Already, with the shipbuilding pro
gram far from operating at capacity,
the number of ships placed In commis
sion during tho month of May alone

Mr, Schwab said.
"The yards are turning nut more

3?ld. "The yards arc going to turn out

expect And Philadelphia, 1 am sum,

Shlpyaids throughout the country are
speeding up to enable them to meet the
appeal for July 4 to be "Ship-Launching

Schwab from all sections of the country
indicate that at least fifty and probably
seventy vessels will make their Initial
plunge on the holiday.
"The splash of these ships lll be
heard around the world and will not be
very welcome music to the Kaiser,"
Mr, Schwab said. 'The echo and re

reiterate what the American people
stand for."

ALLIES WILL ACT
TO ASSIST RUSSIA
AT WILSON'S WORD
Washington Hears That In
tervention Merely Awaits
U. S' Consent
CLIMAX EXPECTED SOON
Administration, With Many
Advisers hut Little Infor
mation, Still Hestiatcs
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Correspondent i:vt(a Puhlir Ledotr
Washington, June 13.
Kuniois of Allied intervention in
Russia continue. "Men usually well in
formed assert that It Is only n ques
tion of days before intervention is
decided upon, with the approval of the
Government. It Is Impossible to tell
how much of this "inside information"
is propaganda, directed toward the end
of securing the Administration's ap
proval of Intervention, for there Is un
doubtedly 11 strong effort being made
tist now to secure the adoption of a
constructive policy toward Russia.
This effort will reach a climax In a
few days. There is no telling what its
success may he, hut this much ls clear,
the Administration remains uncon
vinced, or better, perhaps, still hesl-
I lutes, being unable to make up its
mind nmoiig n host of counselors, and
I faced with huge difficulties, apparent
; or real. At any rate, there is now no
policy toward Russia.
You 'hear this from men who are
close to tho President. The Adminis
tration h drifting, or. to employ n
classic phrase, is practicing "watchful
waiting." Destiny, providence, or the
Inevitable reactions of n democratic
people, exposed to rude contact with
brutal German Imperialism, may solve
a problem that bristles, or appears to
bristle, with difficulties.
Russia Slicds Xo New I-iglrt
Destlnv. providence or Inevitable
rionmrriitlc i-pactlons did nothing scs
terdav. Russia shed no new light on
lipi-splf. Washlncton does not know
whnt Is coins on there. Is there a ,
cou
lint
nter-revolutlon? Washington does
know. Is the Invitation from the
Cadets a HUfllcient invitation? Wash
ingtou does not know. Is the Bolshe
vist rule near its end? The guess Ms
that It ls, for everything passes quickly
In Russia. "But Washington does not
know. .
If the truth were known it would
be found that the Administration has
manv sources of Information In Rus
sia, but no Information. The parallel
of Mexico, with Its many Investiga
tory high commissioners, paramount
personal representatives, tentacles ot
the White- Housc.-liu -the d'.ys r
watchful waiting, occurs nalnfully to
mind. Many Informers but no in
formation. Certainly right here in Washington
the counterpart of that situation ex
ists. There are many counselors but
no counsel. A multitude of people
knows what to do wltlt Russia and
no one knows what to dp with
I Russia. The probability is that Mr.
WiUon listens to tne multitude ot
people and he certainly docs nothing.
Decides nothing. And that way lies
Indecision, uninformation and Inaction.
IteportH of Ailrlre to hreihlenl
If jou stir the Russian situation as
It exists In Washington, and go Into
such relatively Informed quarters as can
be entered you arc asked, "Have ou
heard of Mr. Creels solution of the Rus
sian question? He Is pressing it upon
the President for all he is worth. He
says the White House has no policy. And
he Is offering the president ins policy.

That Is the opinion of Judge Barratt.
Inspired hy the verdict returned agalnt
Antonio Dl tiuillo, twenty-two years old,
of 1703 South Bancroft street, who con
fessed that he shot and killed his wife
whil" she lay in bed, Dl Gulllo was ;
convicted of second-degree murder.
Judge Barratt, plainly incensed at the
verdict, sentenced the man to a term of
not less than eighteen years nor more
than twenty years In the Eastern Peni
tentiary. "There (s not one redeeming feature
in this case." Judge Barratt said. "The
defendant killed not only' his wife, but
their unborn child1.
"People In this country look too gently
upon things. There Is a general senti
ment againtt capital punishment. It Is
almost Impossible to obtain a first
degree verdict, no matter how clear the
evidence. 1 am not criticizing the jury
In this cafe, but JurorB in general do not
want to take the responsibility" of re
turning a erdlct that would mean the

Tide of llattle Has Turned
Faces that wore a serious expression
Tuesday are decidedly cheerful now. The
battle has, In fact, taken a better turn.
It Is a very dreadful struggle; no
Krenchmin can forget thst fact, and In
the fever of weighing and meaurlng
results more distant observers should
not for a moment overlook what they

e may join In the satisfaction of our
Alllts that on Its third day the general
omet suffered a distinct check.
Following the front from west to east,
the first thing to note Is the series of
French counter-attacks on the left car

Meanwhile the enemy had delivered a
