AMERICA FIRST
IS HUGHES PLEA

Green Bay, Wis. Sept, 20.--Speak-
ing to audiences in Wisconsin towns
which were for the most part of Ger
man stock, Republican Nominee
Hughes today pleaded for America
first" and for an America "that has
no secret understandings, no covert
intrigues, but demands that its Just
rights be recognized as to lives, prop
erty and commerce.
All this was the nearest the G. o. p.
candidate came to discussing the
"hyphen question" But his audiences
read into his phrases detailing the
position he would take In demanding
recognition OF rights as to ''com-
merce" direct slap at the position
the Wilson administration has taken
on the British interference with
American mails.
Hughes did not mention Wilson by
name. nor connect the administration
with his reference. but this was plain
ly what was meant, In previous
speeches Hughes has frequently
pleaded for full recognition OF Ameri-
can rights as to lives and property,
but today was the first time that ne
added the significant word com
merce" to this phrase.
Wisconsin turned out big to well
come the candidate, He has had no
better audiences anywhere in his
journey than those at Sheboygan,
Manitowoc and here.
At Manitowoc, after Hughes had
spoken. a change Of engines held his
private car at the station. Crowds
massed about II and finally the candi-
date clambered down from the plat
form and yelled for them to come and
get acquainted In the meantime,
Mrs, Hughes came out and shook
hands from the platform with the wo-
men In the audience, patting babies
and doing Just as good a job Of
mingling as her husband. 5

Peace Hope Dim.

| Washington, May 26.-President
Wilson told callers today that the in
tervention of neutral in behalf 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 a particular nation or group
of nations among the warning pow
ers.
Mr.. Wilson dil not disclose any
definite plan of aCtion he may have
formulated in regard to peace nor
authorize a formal statement of his
attitude.
His callers gained an impression.
however, that the president would en-
tertain suggestions that he extend his
good offices to the belligerents to
u,rng about peace only when the con-
ditions he outlined were likely to full
fillment.
Mr. Wilson pointed out to his call
ers that there are many elements in
the situation in Europe, all of which
must be taken into account in consid-
Grafton of peace proposals. While he
is eager to see the conflict ended as
soon as possible tho White House visi-
tors were able to gather no impression
that a move by tho United States to
bring it about is in immediate pros
pect.
Representative HenSley of Missouri
discussed with Mr.. Wilson his amend
ment 20 the naval Till. adopted by the
naval committee. authorizing the
president to invite other nations to
participate in conference at the
close of the war with the object Of
setting UP court or other tribunal
to settle international disputes. Mr..
Hensley told the president that he be-
lieved this amendment made the naval
bill an assurance to foreign nations
that the United States was arming
for defense only, not for any often
sive purpose, and was ready to enter
into an agreement to settle interna-
tional disputes amicably.
The president did not commit HIM
self definitely to the amendment. but
Mr.. Hensley gained the impression
that he was favorable to the general
principles involved
