Partisans In the New House
Plan For Coalition Control

Washington, March 10.-What prom
Used to be the bitterest house organ
ization fight of recent years probably
will crumble beneath urgent patriotic
considerations.
While leaders today made parti-
san claims as to how the body would
be shaped in the coming extra session,
they confessed that they will not check
vital business by political chickering's.
Republicans and Democrats alike
said 1t is far better to have coali-
ton organization, il necessary, than
to stand before the world in this crisis
as a nation divided from within.
AS matters now stand. the house has
one more Republican than Democrat,
with several independents holding the
balance OF power. Both sides court
the favor of that power. And while
everything will be done to align these
it seemed likely today that Republi-
cans and Democrats will shape their
organization course Jointly. sheNild II
seem futile fight to obtain this favor.
While house leaders are working
hard at the organization problem. the
senate has combinations and the CO.
lombian treaty as its chief business in
the special session. Leaders say the
treaty cannot be ratified at this time.
hence 1t may be that the senate VIII
have one or two weeks adjournment
before the extra session of the whole
congress convenes.

LITTLE BOLIVIA IN
FAVOR OF ALLIES
Brazil Shows Friendliness
Toward the United States,
but All the Rest of the
Countries Resent Sugges-
lions From Washington.
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.

United Press Staff Correspondent
Buenos Aires, March 10.-If the
United States is planning to seek con-
certed action among all American re-
publics to cleanse the American hem
isphere of German activities-as re-
ported in Washington dispatches today
she is likely to be rebuffed hotly. A
majority of the Latin American repub-
lies will resent such. a plan. From re-
liable sources here it was learned today
that the Argentine government would
be inclined to make "hot answer" If the
United States "offers advice" regard
ing German plotting.
American unity is not visible
from this viewpoint of South America
Several republics are distinctly pro-
German. Some are pro-ally Most OF
them are not pro- United States.
FOLLOW ARGENTINE'S LEAD.
With the exception, possibly of Bra
I'll and Bolivia, Argentine's position on
the general question of American mat
ters is held by officials here to repre-
sent substantially the attitude of the
other Latin American republics. And
Argentine, it will be recalled, was the
rebuffed President Wilson when he
asked world neutrals to follow the ex-
ample Of the United States in break
ing relations with Germany.
Argentine regretted such extreme
measures" in her note, which was
drafted by DR.. Diego Molinari He was
likewise the author of the further
message to the United States announc-
ing that Argentine's mind was made
up and implying that it would not be
changed by North American pressure
which was enclosed with the forma
note. President Irigoyen personally
revised both communications.
North Americans here believe DR.
Molinari to be anti United States
mainly because he was secretary of the
pro- Mexican committee here, oppos
ing American intervention in Mexico
But the fact is DR.. Molinari's views
may be taken as typically Latin
American.
Brazil and Bolivia are considered ex,
ceptions to the general Latin American
view.
Brazil is believed to be looking fo
an excuse to seize German merchan

She is credited with aspiring to an out

The question whether the United
States is going to support Bolivia in he

STORY OF THE PLOTS
OF THE GERMANS IN
AMERICA TO BE TOLD

Washington, March 10.-As an aid to
allying Pan America in move to
crush German intrigues on this con-
tinent, the government is preparing a
record of Germany's sinister moves.
1t is still to be decided in what man
ner ii will be utilized for this pur-
pose.
The white book will trace a story
of plots that ranged from blasting mu-
milton works to stirring country
against country in war on this conti-
nent. 1t will show how the long hand
of the German foreign office stretched
forth to create hatreds and discords
in the new world that should keep the
United States embroied at home and
make 1t impossible for her to deal with
Germany abroad.
Spy plots Matched in Wilhelmstrasse,
with the whole world as a sphere Of
action, will be recorded so that South
America may know the baneful influ-
ences at work to disrupt these ma
lions.
WORK OF BERNSToRFF.
The work of former Ambassador Won
Bernstorff and his clever spy aides
will be recounted. The book will
show the details of how Germany
planned to cripple shipping, align Mex
leo and Japan against the United
States; how she played on Latin
American pride in an effort to sway
the old chief Carranza into an era of
conquest stretching north and south of
his own domain.
1t will tend to show how Peruvian
navy men were bribcd. It will trace
the operation of plots to blast the Pan
anna canal, thus striking a vital strate
gic blow at this country.
TO RECOUNT EXPLOITS.
1t will reveal the full plot to Gre
ate an Indian uprising, using this ma
ton as one of the chief headquarters;
and 1t will recount the individual eX-
ploits of such men as Wolff Won Igel,
Fritzen, Bod Ed, Won Papen and many
more.
And while the state department does
not reveal it's full plans, presumably
the new and startling document will
be put forth to this nation as a spur
to national patriotism-a warning to
country which some authorities des-
| ignated privately rs drunk and proud
of it."

TRIBUTE PAID TO
ZEPPELIN BY THE
GERMAN PEOPLE
Note of Regret That Invent
or Could Not Live to See
Triumph of Invention in
Times of Peace.

Berlin, March Wireless)- Ger
many's tribute to Count Won Zeppelin,
laid to rest today, could not better be-
expressed than in the eulogy of his
name and achievements in Berlin's
newspapers. Through it all ran the
note of regret that the great inventor,
although he lived to see the war tri-
umphs of his inventive genius. could
not have lived little longer, to have
witnessed the same triumphs in peace
time
WHO does not remember the sum
mer of 1909 when a Zeppelin appeared
over several German towns for the
first time" asked "the Berliner Tage-
blatt today drawing a parallel be-
tween Montgolfier, the French bal
loonist, and Count Won Zeppelin. when
Montgolfier flew from Marshfield to
Paris, philosophers pictured eternal
peace through this means of commu-
nication. Then came the revolution,
! the Napoleonic wars. Europe swan in
blood.
LOVED BY FATHERLAND.
when Zeppelin first flew over the
| land, we had the optimistic feeling in
the empires eternal peace. Like Yep
pelin we expected his airship to glide
in peaceful triumphs.
I'VE love zeppelins memory, espe-
cially for the zeal with which he fol-
lowed his aim, despite misfortunes.
He will never be forgotten. The faith
erland loves him as he loved the
fatherland."
Last but not least Count Won Yep
pein always had before his eyes, the
defeat of England's sea rule" declared
the Vossische Zeitung. What Zeppelin
expected in case of war, was realized,
but he did not live to see the ultimate
victory"
FOR USING ALL WEAPONS.
For all who knew Zeppelin it is a
tragedy that he had to die before the
war was fought to a decisive finish"
! asserted the Deutsche Tages ,Zeitung.
AT the beginning of the war he
was convinced 1t was a fight for Ger
mar.y's existence and he wanted to use
all weapons, regardless Of all dreams
| of a future understanding"
| The Socialist newspaper Norwaerts
saw this Lesson in the counts death:
I'VE are aware of the contradiction
in our generation, which gives the
proudest praise to technical skill-and
also falls back into barbarism."
