AMERICAN EAGLE
TO STRETCH WINGS
PROPOSAL FOR PRoTEcToRA1 &
OVER NICARAGUA FORECASTS
NEW POLICY.
PRESIDENT FAVORS PLAN
Senators Divided on Proposition
Sensation Is Created in Diplo-
Matte Circles.

Washington.-The proposed new
Nicaraguan treaty, virtually establish
ing an American protectorate over Mic
aragua, which Secretary of State Bry-
an urged before the senate foreign
relations committee with the consent
and approval of President Wilson in
augurates a vastly important new pol
icy for this government in relation
TO its Central American neighbors.
1t will ultimately establish the Unit
ed States as Lord Paramount of the
western hemisphere. and has led to
the suggestion that Mr.. Bryan has
abandoned his anti-imperialist views.
The matter has become the absorb
ing topic of diplomatic and congress
sional discussion.
While official utterances have not
been given of the purpose OF the
administration to outline a general pol
icy toward Central America, members
of the senate evince a growing convlc-
ton that the principle to be applied
to Nicaragua is one that the Wilson
administration would be glad to see
extended to the other Central Ameri-
can republics
Members of the foreign relations
committee who were present when
Secretary Bryan unfolded his plan con
tinued to assert they could not dis
cuss the new development. The orig
inal Nicaraguan treaty has been the
subject of open discussion among sen
ators. This compact did not go fur
Their, however than to guarantee the
United States exclusive canal rights,
and naval base site, in exchange for
a payment of $3,000,000 in gold.
The later project to extend a viz
tual 'protectorate over Nicaragua, has
assumed the character of an interna-
tional policy, which members OF the
senate are discussing with emphatic
expressions of opinion. 1t is believed
that Senators Clarke of Arkansas, Bo-
rah and some other influential mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee will take the general attitude OF
opposition toward the Bryan-Wilson
plan; while Senators O'Gorman, Bur
ton and several others are known to
favor many of its essential points.

of Georgia.
Mr.. Jones emphasized the fact that
the South would be the main reclpl-
ent of any good that may and Will be
derived by the completion of the Pana-
ma canal and stated that every South
ern state would answer to the roll call
in 1915 by an adequate exhibition OF
their products, and that Georgia by
virtue of her high rank among the
states should have an exhibition which
would be representative of her natural
resources.

NO FILIBUsTER ON TARIFF
G. o. p. Senators Say They Will Not
Delay Measure.

Washingto1. Republican senators
have served notice upon their Demo
cratic opponents that there is to be
no unnecessary delay of the Under
wood Simmons tariff revision bill.
While the sharp tongue of Republican
criticism and dire prediction is to be
loosed throughout the tariff debate, the
Republican do not plan to add any gen.
eral filibustering tactics or to at
tempt to hold up final action on tariff
revision.
This policy has been partially out
lined in the opening speech OF the
Republican opponents of the admins
tration bill, in colloquies on the floor
of the senate and in private confer
ences among senators. Within the
next few days a series of vigorous
attacks are to be made on the general
principles of the Underwood.Simmons
bill. following out the lines OF Senator
Cummins' speech.
The general denunciations Will be
followed by concerted attacks on GER
tain schedules, where the Republicans
insist that the new measures will mean
ruin to American industries. me
Democrats are prepared to meet all
the Republican arguments

PENSION BOARD IS
FREE TOADD TOLISTS
OPINION GIVEN ON QUESTION BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL GATES.
According TO Gen. Gates, Measure Passed
by Present Legislature Carrying
$500, 900 Is Regular-Probably
Suffice for Demands.

Nashyille.-The decision Of Attorney
General Charles T. Gates, given to the
state pension board, put it up to Comp
troller George p Wooden as to whether
or not the 900 Confederate soldiers and
widows now applying for pensions will
receive these pensions after their cases
have been passed upon and approved by
the pension board.
According to Gen. Gates opinion, the
pension board is free to proceed with ITS
function of passing upon the eligibility
OF applicants. even though the board may
Goubt the legality of the pension appro-
priation bill passed by the legislature OF
1913. As it has been claimed by the tu-
siouists that there was no quorum in the
house at the time this appropriation bill
was passed, the pension board was up
in the air as to what action, if any, they
should take upon the applications now
before the board.
The present pension roll amounts to
about S720,Ooo annually. The Baxter
pension bill, passed by the legislature,
appropriated 100000 for the pensions,
which amount, one of the members OF
the pension board stated, would prob
ably be large enough to cover all new
pensions in case no doubt had been raised
by the fusionists as to the legality OF
the hill

EUROPE PRESSES UNCLE SAM
WANTS HER TO DECLARE INTEN-
TIoNs IN REGARD TO MEX
IcAN CONDITIONS.
Situation Is lntolerable for Foreigners
and Revolutionary Conditions
Exist.

Washington.-Adm Off
Gals admitted that the situation in
Mexico and diplomatic inquiries over
Europe as to what the attitude OF
this country would be toward its
neighbor on the south were engaging
their deepest attention.
Secretary Bryan had a conference
with President Wilson and the fore
most subject before them was the
Mexican problem. Earlier it had been
discussed at length at the cabinet
meeting.
It is stated that European diplomats
stationed in Mexico have sent to their
respective governments identical notes
in which they declare that the position
taken by the United States with rel
erence to Mexico is contributing to
revolutionary conditions and suggest
ing that the representatives at Wash
ington of the respective European
countries be instructed to request rec
ognition or that the United States as
sumo responsibility for affairs here.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say what the
policy of the United States govern
y at would be toward any European
Representations, but intimated that
announcement on the situation might
be expected in short time.
1t is known that the administration
officials have been continuously OPP
posed to recognition of the Huerta
government until elections were held
and it has frequently been stated In
formally that recognition would not
be extended until the constitutional
machinery in Mexico had been set IN
motion again to elect new presl-
dent to succeed the provisional presl-
dent now acting.

STATES
REPLIES TO JAPAN
AMERICAN REPLY TO LAST TWO
JAPANESE NOTES ON CALL -
FoRNIAK CONTROVERSY.
NOTE DELIVERED TO CHINDA
Believed This Country Has Said Last
Word Regarding California
Land Law.

Washington.-The American reply
to the last two japanese notes on
the California alien land law was de-
livered by Secretary Bryan to Am
bassador Chinda, who at once cabled
it to Toxic. AS in the case of the
preceding notes, contents OF the lat
est one we're withheld from publica-
ton.
There is some expectation in off
cial circles that the delivery Of this
last note will conclude the negotia-
tions on this subject between the two
countries, for the present at least, II
not altogether.
II is declared that the American
reply to the various points OF objec-
ton to the California legislation has
been made so complete as to remove
most of them from the field of dis
cussion. Even in cases where the
japanese contentious have not been
manifestly completely negatiVed the
expert diplomatists are said to have
so framed their responses as to re-
duce the points to clear issues which
probably can be adjusted only on the
basis Of judicial decisions
The result has been reached through
the exchange of five notes, the nego-
tiations beginning May last, with
the original protest by Japan against
the projected alien land-owning act
by the California legislature. This
ELECTED a reply from Secretary Bryan
on May 10, or as soon as he had been
advised of the actual signature OF
the Webb act by Governor Johnson.
On June 4 the japanese government
filed it's rejoinder and on July this
was supplemented by an elaborate ex-
pansion of the arguments.
Unless the japanese foreign ofhae
concludes that there is something in
the American note delivered requir-
ing immediate attention and reply,
probably there will be no further dip
lomatic exchange for at least another
month. At the expiration of that time
the Webb alien land-owning act Will
become effective and the way will be
opened for a judicial test OF its consti-
tutionality.
The state department is looking to
the Japanese government to at least
take the initiative in securing a judi
cial determination of the question as
to whether this act is in conflict with
existing treaties or whether it W T.
