Where th. Guns Kick Haro.

Duck shooting at an altitude OF H..
600 feet, on the Junln pampa. along
the shore of the lake OF that name, Is
sport that can be followed in Peru.
Very peculiar effects are noted In this
rarefed region, probably the highest
altitude for this sport In the world
The guns kick viciously, and the shot
does not scatter promptly, making long
shots successful. This phenomenon Is
due to the lack Of density Of the air
which is only about eight pounds &c
the square inch against fifteen nt sea
level. Another interesting fact Is thai
the ducks have no iishy taste, as FISH

Wants CONFERENCE
Of NEUTRAL NATIONS

Washington, Mar. 27.-With the
suggestion that the United States
call a conference OF neutral nations
to enforce the right Of neutrals, Sen
ator LaFollette, republican, Wiscon-
sin, vigorously defends the position
he took on the armed neutrality bill
in this weeks issue OF his magazine,
declaring the bill means war.
LaFollette denies he filibustered
against the bill. He says he did all
in his power to defeat the measure
insofar as permitted by the tyran-
nical action of majority" which re-
sorted to "a perversion Of the rules
to prevent speaking against the bill. A"
BY virtually placing American
guns and gunners under British ad-
miralty orders, the bill means war;"
he asserted.
The action OF the president in "at-
tempting to force the bill through
in the last hours OF congress-" is bit
terly criticized by LaFollette. Au-
thority that leaves It in the discre-
tions OF the president to make war Is
conferred in the bill, he claims.
THE president made II clear that
he wanted to be left alone to exercise
extraordinary and autocratic powers
affecting the destinies OF the country
and the world, until ecember-untll
the time for assembling the new con.
gress," La Toilette declares.
1T was the evil system OF one.
man power and secret diplomacy that
plunged the helpless people OF Europe
into war"
BY a call to neutrals at this time
for conference and a mere sugges.
tion that food and other supplies
would be withheld from both sides
impartially, the belligerents would
be forced to observe the principle oi
the freedom OF the seas. he asserts.
Such conference, even now, La.
Toilette believes, would bring the
greatest benefits to ourselves, TO hu.
manlty and the world.

HOW WARS START.
An Ocean Cable Would Have Avsrtsd
Our Conflict Of 1912.

Had there been an ocean telegraph In
1872 there might not have been war
with England at that time. Five days
after President Madison signed the dec
laration OF war England recalled the
orders In council which had provoked

was unknown In America. while in
England nothing was known OF the
war declaration when the orders We're
revoked. This wars most important
battle. that OF New orleans, was fought
fifteen days after the treaty OF peace
had been signed ut Ghent 1t was this
battle which made Jackson popular
idol and gave him the presidency.
The first step In the Crimean war
was Russia's invasion OF Moldavia.
months before diplomatic rupture with
England and France.
The firing on Fort Sumter. which
started the war between the states, Is
q familiar story.
The first shot OF the Franco Prussian
war was by French soldier on guard
at Strasburg bridge day or two before
Napoleon III. formally took the field.
The attempt on Bismarck's life as he
was walking down the Inter den Lin.
den on May I, 1866, rallied public sen.
timent to him and his policy and from
a dramatic standpoint may be said to
have been the first shot In the Austro-

Mann PROGRAM NOT
FAVORED BY lENROOT

Washington, Mar. 27.-Represen-
tative Lenroot. Wisconsin, progress
sive republican leader, in formal
statement today, announced his OPP
position to Minority Leader Mann's
non-partisan organization suggestions
for the house.
II am confident the republicans
next Monday will present candidate
for speaker and full set Of officers" !"
Lenroot said.
Lenroot declared that instead OF
the non-partisan plan there will be
presented to the republican caucus
Saturday a plan which provides in
case of deadlock. the republicans
shall propose provisional organiza-
tion of the officers of the last con-
gress until necessary appropriations
and war measures are passed.
This would include the speaker and
other house officers. Committee va
cancies would be filled in the ordin-
ary manner. This provisional or
ganization, however. would continue
only until emergency legislation had
been passed.
Lenroot was brutally frank in his
criticism of the Mann plan.
Lenroot said a deadlock would be
just as probable under the Mann plan
as under a partisan organization and
that vital legislation might be de-
layed. He added that 27 republicans
who are now planning the organiza-
tion OF the house voted for repub-
lican attempt to reorganize the house.
Lenroot denounced President Will
son because he had not consulted re-
publicans on war measures.
Republicans are not less patriotic
than democrats, and should be con-
suited. I believe that not one re-
publican in the house or senate has
been consulted by President Wilson
on the tremendously important issue
of war"
Before Lenroot issued his state
ment, he had a lengthy conference
with Representative Longworth ot
Ohio and Representative Towner o.
Iowa.
