Headquarters for Hughes will not be
opened In Chicago, according to a
statement made by Mr.. Hitchcock.
"Mr. Hughes is not an active candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
and therefore no headquarters for him
will be opened. but his friends, will
work in his interest as individuals, "
said Mr. Hitchcock.
His views on Americanism prepar-

questions are sound and were frequent
, ly stated by him in public addresses
before he became q member of the

no question where he stands on any of
these questions. While I have had no

ident Wilson's Utterances.
London, May 20. irresponsible
peace talk received its quietus from
Sir Edward Grey last week, but no
doubt President Wilson's speech before
the League to Enforce Peace will re-
vive the discussion in some quarters,
says the Liverpool Post. Its definite
ness IN certain particulars is inter-
esting,- but. perhaps to many Of his
own countrymen the air of defniteness
which the president gives to some OF
his phrases may seem elusive.
Zone can Imagine many being spe-
cially disappointed when Essays that
with the causes and objects of the
war, the United States has no concern.
To US, who believe We are opposing an
attempt at world domination, it is hard
to believe that the cause for which W
stand Is not Of some concern to the
great republic of the west
The Post argues the entente allies
are fighting for the same object for
which the league proposes peace terms.
The Manchester Guardian says this
plan is almost as old as the first
formulation Of the ideal of organized
peace but that it never before in any
part Of the world has commanded the
support accorded it in America today.
It says further:
"The president inevitably has con-
fined himself to cautious and general
terms but it is impossible to miss the
Significance sof his declaration that the
United States would be- ready to be-
come a party of anxs feasible league of
nations. Twenty months Of war has
done much to undermine even the
rooted aversion from alliances and
leagues y2F

This provtso is necessary for the
presidents neutrality in mind and
thought is an ice cold abstraction for
! T. be1ligerent who believes he is fight
ing in the sacred cause of law and
right. We do not understand how a
neutral can expect to influence these
