ASKS WILSON TO ACT
SENATOR LEWIS OF ILLINOIS IN
PRODUCES PEACE RESOLUTION.
U. S. Will Not Plead Cause of Any
Single Belligerent, but Serve
interests of All.

Washington, May 27.--A resolution
requesting the president, unless in
compatible with the public interest,
to suggest to warning nations of Eu-
rope that the United States undertake
mediation was introduced into the SEN
ate ON Thursday by Senator Lewis of
Illinois, to lie on the table for discus
sion later.
The resolution would authorize the
president to propose that the bellig-
erents declare truce and that each
of them select neutral country as
its representative on a board of ar
bitration thus created:
Each selected neutral would name
one member of the board, over which
the president or his representative
would preside as referee. Under the
plan each belligerent would present
its demands or claims to the board.
which would be authorized to arrive
at an equitable adjustment
The resolution recites that it is sug-
gested as an expression Of the desire
for world peace and not of favoritism
for any of the belligerents.
President Wilson told callers that
the intervention of neutral in be-
half of peace in Europe could rest only
on mutual understanding by the bel
ligerents that terms to be arranged
are to conserve the interests of ALL
and of the world at large, rather than
those of particular nation or group
of nations among the warning powers.
Mr.. Wilson gave the impression
that he would make peace suggestions
only when the conditions he outlined
were likely of fulfiflment.

Because He Shared Craw-

come into its own and it is now Off
cially recognized as game" on the
records of the courts of Kenosha coun-

fendant for the enforcement of any
law and the distinction of being the
hrst defendant in a case where catch
ing crawfish out of season was charged
fell to the lot of William Boehnke. He
was arrested by Deputy Game Warden
Emil Fox. The heinous crime of
which Boehnke was charged was com

The defendant admitted that he caught
craWflsh and declared his ignorance of
the law protecting them from being
caught in certain seasons of the year.
The law provided a minimum fine of
$40 and the costs, and it was paid by
Boehnke. He volunteered his opinion
that all the craw dads in Kenosha
county were not worth the amount of
the fine, to say nothing of the costs.

for Losses-No Time Limit
Is Set.

Washington. May 29.-The United
States, denouncing interference with
neutral malls, has notified Great
Britain and France that it can no
longer tolerate the wrongs which
American citizens have suffered and
continue to suffer through the law
less practice" those governments have
INDUCED in, and that only a radical
change in policy, restoring the United
States to its full rights as a neutral
power, will be satisfactory.
Y This notification is given in the
latest American communication to
the two governments, the text OF
which was made public on Saturday by
the state department. The time in
which the change must be effected is
not specified. but the United States
expects prompt action.
"Onerous and vexatious abuses
which have been perpetrated by the
British and French governments in
seizing and censoring neutral mails
are recited in the communication,
and answers are made to the legal
arguments contained in the reply of
the entente governments to the first
American note on the subject.
1t is vigorously set forth that not
only have American commercial in
terests have injured but that the
rights of property have been violated
and the rules of international law
and custom palpably disregarded
Notice is served that the United States
soon will press claims against the Brit
ish and French governments for the
losses which already have been sus-
tanned

Washington, May 30.-President
Wilson. in an address on Saturday be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace, ir-
dicated in a guarded way that he is
seriously considering the ctfering OF
his services as mediator in the Euro
pean war and outlined to some extent
the basis upon which he thinks the
warning nations should make their
agreement,
His statement was taken by many
of those who heard him to mean that
Mr.. Wilson may in due time offer his
services as peacemaker on his own
initiative instead of waiting until the
has received formal request to do so
from one or more of the belligerents,
point by which he has guided his at.
titude regarding mediation in the
past.
There were two sentences In the ad.

the presidents intention. They fol.
low:
The desire of the whole world now
turns eagerly toward the hope of peace
and there is just reason why we
should take our part in the council
upon this great theme. 1t is right that

Mr.. Wilson laid down a broad prin-
ciple of right upon which he would
seek to have the world guided.
He first stated that every people
has the right to choose the sovereignty
under which it shall live"
He asserted that the small states
have the right to enjoy the same re-
spect for their sovereignty and terri.
torial integrity as the larger, and said
that the world has the right to be free
from every disturbance that has its
origin in aggression.
Applying this to Europe, his hear
ers gathered that MIR. Wilson favors
the restoration of Belgium, the indie
pendence of Poland, and permission
for the little states to select their own
form of government
The presidents suggestions regard
ing the method of avoiding war in the
future may be summed up thus;
The settlement by arbitration or
