MADE PEACE PLEA
Scotch Liberal Blames Grey for
Continued War.
Peace Is Impossible Now, Says
Foreign Secretary.

London, May 25.-Arthur Ponson-
by, Liberal representing Scottish
district, shocked the house of com
mons with a plea for peace. He hint
ed that the continuance of the war
was due to secret obligations with
Great Britain's allies, into which Sir
Edward Grey had entered. The. lat
ter replied sharply. He declared that
peace at this time was impossible,
especially as no single nation of the
entente could put forth peace pro-
posals on its own accord. There would
have to be a general conference of
the allies before peace terms could
be stated. Any way, he declared, the
war has not reached a stage where
peace can be discussed seriously
THE allies are not defeated and
they are not going to be defeated
Gives Lie to Germans.
The foreign secretary then devoted
moment to repudiating the state
ment made by the German imperial
chancellor. DR.. Won -Holl-
veg, that England had played a belli-
cose part in the Bosnian crisis. Ger
many, he asserted, refused to con-
slider the proposed conference because
she did not want a conference and
not from motives of self defense. He
while the German people accepted in
good faith the lies with which are
being fed by their leaders,
Referring to the Hollweg statement
that England was ready to go to war
over Bosnia, the foreign secretary
said:
THAT. Mr.. Speaker, is a first class
lie.''
AT the present moment, he declared,
the only member of the entente who
had any right to talk about peace was
France, who was bearing the brunt of
the German pounding. For France,
President Poincare has spoken" he
said.

see why all the women are so timid at
the slightest mention of politics.
Politics Great Fun.
When a candidate starts out for an
office that's politics. whatever other
pretty name you give it. Personally,
1 think politics great fun. It's a game;
a clean, decent. valuable game, if you
play it honestly and fairly. And 1
think it is Il game that women are
learning to play through their fedora

The formal opening at the seventh
regiment armory was a real spectaclA
AS delegates and alternates. there
were on the floor 5000 women, earnest,

their energies that would help man

to enter and even the officers and
guests had trouble in reaching the
platform.

BERT LARSON
Pitcher Who Was Big Disappointment
Let Go by Savagcs.

Sious City, Iowa. May 25.-John
Savage. owner of the Topeka Western
league club, announced here today
that he had given Pitcher Bert Larson
his unconditional release.
Larson was one Of the big iisap-
pointments of the Savage pitching
staff At the first of the season he
looked like a sure winner, and both
Savage and baltimore expected him
to be one of their mainstays. He got
away well, winning two games, but
since the second road trip he has
been unable to show the form ex-
pected.
Larson's release was not unexpected.
When it was announced a few days
ago that Pitcher Doyle had been pur-
chased from Sioux City it was known
that some one would have to go and
the ma jority of the fans picked Larson
as the anlucky individual.
