WILCOX ANSWERS
 BAKER STATEMENT
Republican Campaign Chief Says Sec rotary of War Is Biased On
 In Infamous Position

New York, Oct 27.-William R. Wilcox, chairman of the republican,
 national committee, issued a state
 ment today in reference to tue state
 IT ent last night by Secretary of War
 Baker that definite information had Teen received by the war department that a bandit attack upon American troops or on American border towns had been arranged to take place be-
 fore election day by "enemies of the administration policy toward MeXi- CO.," MT. Wilcox also made reference to Secretary of State Lansing's declar- ation thsA the war departure en- ts
 statement was not intended as an
 assault upon the administration po- litical opponents. "In view of Secretary Lansing S 1 statem ent in the morning papers,
 said Chairman Wilcox, MT. Baker
 vas guilty of either amazing stupidity
 CT of a disingenuous attempt to gain votes for MT. Wilson by misrepresen-
 tation. If MT. Lansing is quoted correctly, he went over the Baker statement before it was issued, and the Baker statement therefore ap- pears to be the joint product of MT. l Wilson's two cabinet officers. There l can be little doubt in the minds of any l one what this statement was designed l 10 accomplish. - ..
 "The careful phrasing of MT. Baker 1 shows an attempt to make political | capital out of what he appears to | have regarded as an impending dis
 aster on the Mexican border. The { political capital was to be gained by charging that enemies of MT. Wilson's policy with regard to Mexico were behind 1t and that the attempt was to take place between now and cleo ton. Other parts of MT Baker S
 statement~are susceptible of the same interpretation.
 'If as MT. Lansing says, MT. Baker made this staten ent without cOmpre- 1 hending that it was yelled charge against American citizens thereby inn plying the infamous guilt of treason, then MT. Baker has once more dis played the remarkable bias of mind which prompted him to make his un- patriotic statement regarding Revolu- sev City If, on the other hand, MT. Baker deliberately attempted to ere ate political capital. out of a national disaster his position is infamous" Mr. Wilcox added that if the war department had information In regard
 to the expected attack Tt Is the duty
 of the administration to use every
 power of the government ot find out
 the guilty ones and punish them"

London, Oct. 27, 2:10 a. m.-In a letter to the Times endorsing the re- cent speech of Viscount Grey before the Foreign Press association in ap- proval of the League of Peace idea, Viscount Bryce calls attention to the fact that the peace league moveme ent already has gained a virtually uni versal acceptance in America, saying that both President Wilson and Charles F.

 After emphasizing the importance of this favorable American opinion Viscount Bryce urged the British gov ernment to take advantage of it and "as soon as the end of the war comes in sight" to endeavor, in conjunction with American statesmen, to for mally consider how such 8 league should be formed and what it's func tions should be-"
