SENATOR SUTHERLAND
OPPOSES REPEAL
Declares Wilson Proposition Is Most
Astounding In History Of the
Government

Washington, May 1S. Senator Suth-
erland of Utah, declared in the SER
ate today that in the history of free
government, no such astounding prs
position ever before had been present
ed to great legislative body as the
demand Of President Wilson that the
congress should repeal the tolls oy-
emption law, without raising the
question whether we were right or
wrong"
ITO comply with the request" sail
Senator Sutherland, ''would be so ut
terly subversive of every considera-
tion CO self respect, that even those
W.. intend to capltulrte will raise
the question and make pretense of
justifying their action on defensible
grounds before acceedisg to the pres
ident's request"
Favors Arbitration
Senator Sutherland said he intend
ed to vote against repeal, but he add
ed he was in favor OF arbitrating the
dispute, because of the difference Of
opinion prevailing among the great
est thinkers of the country over the
question.
I'VE owe 1t to our sense Of con-
sistency to practice in the present
case what for so many years we have
so strenuously preached as a general
rule" said the senator.
The national honor requires that
we should stand for our rights UNI
der, as well as apart from our treat
les, but 1t does not require that we
should doggedly insist on being the
sole interpreter of treaties To which
others are parties and which define
their rights as well as ours"

Urgent Appeal 10 Made for Retention
Of United States Troops
In Colorado

Washington, d. c., May 1s.-Rer.
resentative Heating of Colorado con.
ferred with President Wilson today
concerning conditions In the strike
district Of his state. Although the
president had advised Governor Am.
mons that federal troops would not
be allowed to remain indefinitely In
the strike sections, Mr.. Heating said
the president was not disposed to
withdraw the government forces I'M
mediately, and is willing to do every
thing within reason for the preserva-
ton of peace in the coal region.
Er. Kss.isg expressed doub, as to
the ability of the state militia to main
tain order in the strike districts af-
ter the withdrawal of federal troops
unless mine owners consent to the
mediation of disputed questions.
Urgent Request Of Austrians
Austrian Ambassador Dumba today
laid before the secretary Of state and
the secretary of war an urgent re-
quest that federal troops be retained
on duty in the Colorado strike dis
trict. The requests were made at
the instigation Of the Austrian gov
eminent on information received from
their agents in Colorado.
The ambassador declared in his
opinion there was not sufficient force
to maintain order If the federal troops
were withdrawn and that he felt
sure that trouble would break out
again as soon as the army was out
of the state. He stated that Austrian
citizens, who made up large part
of the population in Ludlow and other
strike centers, had been found dead
and their bodies plundered.
Mr.. Dumba stated that the secre-
tary of war said there was no imme-
date intention of removing the troops
The Italian ambassador, who repre-
sents number of his countrymen In
Colorado, will make similar appeal.

II any, improvement is made in the

And, whereas, this Board does not

German Zeppelin Destroyed.

Aviator Garros lost his life when he rammed the German Zeppelin and caused the ship, with twenty Ger man officers aboard to explode. The gallant Frenchman headed straight for the big German airship, which was preparing to take observations of the French troops, but never was able to make many reports, as the French man left the French army and as- cended to an altitude of several thou sand feet, starting at terrific rate for the German ship and in spite of the fact that thousands of shots were fired at him he drove straight into the big gas bag and caused its destruction. Both armies witnessed the fight.

 The State department today wired to all American consuls in the trou- ble zone to cash travellers checks and to aid them until arrangements can be made for their leaving the coun- tries engaged in war.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Austrian government at the last moment Sat. urday sent to the foreign office of England an acceptance of the. Eng fish offer of mediation. The Aus trian reply proposed conference. The reply, however. came too late and is taken here to be an effort on the part of Austria to justify her po- sition and also to secure time.
 English Forts Manned.
 All the forts on the English coast have been manned to the full strength because of the fear of an invasion from Germany, the German fleet having concentrated at Kiel. where they might strike at England or Russia.
 England May Remain Neutral.
 Since Italy, a member of the Triple Alliance, has announced that she will remain neutral, 1t is possl- t,e that England may also remain neutral, allowing Russia and France to fight Germany and Austria.
 England Must Fight.
 Much, however, as English states. men would like to keep out of the war, 1t is pointed out by them that If Germany Is allowed to win the present conflict the position of Eng, land will be hazardous in the ex- treme and that the German empire welded out of the German speaking provinces of Austria and with the control of the Balkan states and < possibly g large slice of France and all of Holland and Belgium, which are only kept intact by.
