KENYON HOPES TO
CUT PORK BARREL
Iowa Senator Believes He Is
Making HeadWay and May
Be Able to Force
Reductions.

Washington. May 16.-Opponents OF
the pork barrel features OF the riV-
ers and harbors bill. who are now wag-
ing war on IL in the Senate, are con-
WINGED they are making Roadway
against 1t. They expect the fight to
continue for some days and feel that
in that time much public sentiment
will be mustered against 1t.
Senator Kenyon this year Is leading
the fight against the bill, as Senator
Burton, now retired from the Senate.
led 1t in the last congress. A num-
Der of other senators, without regard
to party lines, are opposing the meas
ure. Among those VINO are against 1t,
or rather against numbe" Of its
items, are Senators Sherman, Smoot,
Curtis, LaFollette, Norris Harding,
Cummins and Husting.
The bill. which carries $43,000,0 900.
undoubtedly has enough votes in the
Senate to carry it through. This Is
not saying, however that ii will carry
$43, 000,000 when it passes. In the last
congress a minority of the Senate was
able to force large reductions in the
river and harbor appropriations.
Reports that the fight on the river
and harbor bill will be abandoned are
erroneous. The fight has only begun;
we will attack every item which Is OBJ
noXious." This was the statement Of
a senator who is opposed to the meas
ure. Senators Kenyon and Sherman
plan to offer many amendments. These
may consume days.

!ONLY "A CONTESTS
BEFORE REPUBLICANS
National Committee to Open
Headquarters Today to Be-
gin Hearing Claims.

Washington, May ia call for a
meeting Of the republican national
committee at Chicago to consider con-
tested seats in the national convention

in Chicago. Secretary Reynolds left
here for Chicago last night with his
entire office force and committee rec
from New York to Chicago a week
later.
When the national committee gath
ers to consider seating contests u
marked contrast to its meeting just
before the 1912 convention will be no
ticed. Four years ago several hum
dred seats were contested. This year
only A so far are involved, including
the entire delegations from Georgia
and Louisiana.
Instead of the decision of the ma
tional committee in the contests hav-
ing a direct bearing on the selection OF
the nominee this year, more than a
majority of the delegates will have
been elected at primaries.
The contests so far filed are as fol-
lows:
Florida, 1; Georgia, II; Louisiana,
IL; Mississippi, 2; Missouri. 2; Okla
homa, 4: South Carolina, 3; Virginia,
1, and the District of Columbia, 3.
Nearly all involved factional disputes,
those of Louisiana and Georgia being
a contest between the so called "black
and tan" and lilly white" factions.

KAISER MUST ASK
PEACE, He AYERS
France Cannot Consider Offer,
Says PoinCare-WantS Ger
man Issue Settled
Forever.

Nancy, May 15.-President Poincare,
In an address here, responded to Ger
many's declaration regarding peace
contained in the German reply to the
American note.
France does not want German to
tender peace" said the president, but
wants her adversary to ask for peace"
The president then made known
clearly the only kind OF peace that
would be acceptable to France. The ad-
dress was delivered at the Molitor gar
rison before a large number of Lorraine
refugees, to whom the president, after
expressing his sympathies and reiterat-
ing promises of solicitude and protec-
ton, said:
France will not expose her sons to
the dangers of new aggresSions. The
central empires, haunted by remorse for
having brought on the war, are terri
fed by the indignation and hatred they
have stirred up In mankind, and are
the entente allies alone are responsible
for the prolongation of hostilities-a
dull irony which will deceive no one.
Neither directly nor indirectly have
Our enemies offered us peace. But we
do not want them to offer 1t to us; we
want them to ask 1t Of us. We do not
want to submit to their condition.; we
want to impose ours on them. We do
not want peace which would leave i'm
perial Germany with the power to re-
commence the war and keep Europe
eternally menaced We want peace
which receives from restored rights Sc
rious guarantees Of equilibrium and
stability.
80 long as that peace is not assured
to us, so long as our enemies will not
recognize themselves as vanquished, We
Will not cease to fight"

CUMM|NS OFFERED
VICE PRESIDENCY?
Eastern Republicans Seek to
Compromise BY Giving Him
Second Place on Ma
tionaI Ticket.

Washington, d. c., May 16.-Infor-
nation that some of the eastern re-
publican leaders are anxious to force
Senator Cummins on the presidential
ticket in second place is current here.
While disposition Of most old guard
republican leaders Of the east is to try
to block Senator Cummins for presi
dent, they would like to see him made
the nominee for vice president on the
theory that he would add largely to
strength of the ticket, and that another
republican would succeed him in the
Senate.
Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, is
one prominent leader who is talking
about Senator Cummins for vice presi-
dent. If Hughes should be nominated
conservatives will urge that Fairbanks
be named for vice president on the
theory that Hughes will draw progress
give republican and bull moose sup
port and that Fairbanks would draw
old guard support. But If Hughes
should step out and Senator Cummins
not get the nomination, there would
probably be a serious attempt to put
Cummins on the ticket in second place
with some eastern republican. This
might be the case even with Roose-
welt the nominee, the idea being that
Cummins would tend to counteract the
extreme views of Roosevelt on pre-
parednesS.
Senator Cummins' friends are dis
couraging the vice presidency talk.
They say Senator Cummins would not
willingly have the office in the first
place and that in the second place it
comes from men who want to keep him
out of the presidency.

STIFF NOTE
TO BRITAIN
Will Notify John Bull Uncle
Sam Cannot Tolerate Seiz-
ure and Detention of
Neutral Mail.

Washington, May 15.-The American
government is preparing a protest
characterized by officials as very Wig
orous" against the interference with
mails to and from the United States by
Great Britain. A note to be sent for
ward in the near future will take the
position that the United States can no
longer countenance seizure and deten-
ton of mails to and from the United
States, particularly those concerning
neutrals.
The reply recently received from
Great Britain to the last American
note protesting against interference
with American mails Is considered un-
satisfactory.
Protests have been made to the gov
eminent by many individuals and firms
who have been injured by the frequent
long delays in mails.

London. May 16.-Premier Asquith's
dsit to Belfast seems to give color to
reports that he is trying to arrange q
coalition between the two Irish factions
for a temporary war government of
Ireland.
There has been no rebellious move
ment in Belfast and apparently the pre-
mler's consultations with prominent
men of that city will naturally deal
with broader questions than rebellion
