End Suicide of Europe

Rome, via Paris, June 2, Il so a. NJ
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary
of state, in an interview today with a
representative Of The Associated Press
declared that the pope was influenced
in his peace efforts solely by desire
to stop the suicide of Europe"
The holy father" said the cardi-
nal, in his most ardent desire for
peace has no particular interest in
view, despite what newspapers, that
are enemies of the papacy, state to the
contrary. If peace is concluded
through the friendly Intervention OF
the president of the great American
republic or through his Catholic mai
esty, the king Of Spain, his holiness
will equally thank the Almighty THAI
an end should at last have been put
to the butchery which is the suicide
of Europe"

mont farm and Vaux, east of the
Mouse was extremely violent.
The artillery action on both sides
was exceptionally heavy throughout
yesterday and last night.
Aside from the Verdun fighting the
night passed quietly along the front.
The text of the statement follows:
in the Argonne there has been
fighting with hand grenades in the
NanQuOis sector at Courtes Clauses
and File Morte, We caused the eXplos-
ion of several small mines which in

gress for 100 yards into the communi-
eating trenches of the enemy south Of
the wood of Caurettes
"On the right bank of the river the
battle continued yesterday and last
night with extreme violence along the
entire front between the ThiaumOnt
farm and Vaux. In the region of Thi-
aumont and Douaumont the assaults
of the enemy were repulsed by our fire
and our counter attacks.
South of the Douaumont fort the
Germans penetrated the southern por-
ton of the Caillette wood and the
southern shores of the VauX pond. On
our right all attacks between Vaux
and Damloup we're broken by our
troops with heavy losses to the enemy.
The night passed relatively quiet

WHITESA
BLACK AND TANS
IN NOT CONTEST
Louisiana Delegates Fighting for Seat
at Republican Convention in
Chicago.

Chicago, June Reconsideration OF
claims of contesting delegations to the
republican national convention, was
resumed this morning by the repub-
lican national committee, which open
ed its deliberations here yesterday in
a continuous session lasting more
than nine hours.
The Louisiana contest involving II
delegates was the first taken up at
today's session 1t will be followed by
the contests from Mississippi, Missouri
and North Caroline in order named.
The fight in the Louisiana delega-
ton today will again be between the
so-called lilly whites" and the black
and tans" as has been the case at for
mer committee meetings preceding ma
tional conventions. The contesting
delegations were chosen at separate
meetings in Louisiana, the lilly
whites" holding their meeting at a ho-
tel in New Orleans where colored peo-
pie were not allowed entrance. The
delegation was consequently composed
exclusively of whites, the colored pop
ulation being given no representation.
The other legation is composed of an
equal number of whites and colored
people. Neither side is committed to
any delegate and the fight for conven-
ton seats IS in reality fight for con-
troll Of local politics.
AS the result of the committees de-
liberation yesterday, sixteen votes
which were considered as certain to
be cast for Justice Charles E. Hughes
were lost to that candidate when the
committee voted to seat the Henry S.
Jackson delegation from Georgia. The
delegates who were awarded the seats
are said to be favorable TO the can
didacv of Senator Root, with John W.
Weeks as a second choice. The seven
protests in Alabama were settled by
the seating of six regular delegates at
large and a protesting delegate from
the ninth congressional district.
A recommendation by Chairman Hllles
that a small committee be appointed
to hear the evidence in several of the
contests and report the gist of it to the
full committee was defeated. The com
mittee also voted to place the dele
gates from Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
Philippines, on the temporary roll call
with the recommendation that they
be given votes.
