RADICALS ASK
NATIONS UNION
IN PEACE MOVE
French Socialist Bodies Map
Out Plan For Ending
HOstilities.
MINISTRY BARELY
RETAINS CONFIDENCE

Paris Oct. 2G-Delayed) ma
tional convention of the united rad
icals and radical socialists, the strong
est political organization in France
opened today with 1921 delegates
present.
Louis J. Malvy, former minister OF
the interior, who was charged recent
ly with having dealings with the en-
envy, was cheered loudly when he en-
tered the convention hall
A resolution demanding the restora-
ton of Alsace-Lorraine without COM
promise and without plebiscite" was
adopted.
Discussion Of resolutions in COM
naittees indicated that the convention
would pronounce in favor of an or
sanization by the entente allies of
such character as to lay the founda-
ton for society of nations. Ferdi-
nand Buisson, former deputy, who IS
the president of the Rights of Men
league, delivered an address on this
question after which it was decided to
incorporate such a proposal in the
resolutions to be presented to the con-
vention.
Armand Charpentier, another rad
zeal leader, said that a. society OF ma
tons was more likely to make peace
than peace was likely to produce a
society of nations.
MINISTRY BARELY WINS.
Premier Painleve's ministry OBJ
tanned 346 favorable votes on October
10 and his new ministry yesterday OBJ
tained only 2SS votes, slightly more
than half the votes in the chamber of
deputies. The opposition votes num-
bered 49, partly from the socialists
and partly from the radical socialists.
The same groups supplied the hun
dred members who abstained from
voting.
The vote testifies once more to the
hesitation of the chamber to defeat
any ministry by direct vote during
the war. Premier Painleve refused
to be drawn into a discussion of the
resignation Of NJ Ribot, the foreign
minister He spoke chiefly on Alsace-
Lorraine.
AMERICA LENDS HOPE.
]. Louis Barthou, the new foreign
minister addressing the chamber for
the first time since the beginning of
the war, said in part:
Never has France had greater rea-
son for complete confidence in victory
than when at the moment the United
States has entered the struggle and
when the United States is sending us
with admirable energy, material and
soldiers. The consequence of such
events is incalculable.
DISCUSSES ALLIES MEETING.
Premier Painleve has referred to
the allies conference, saying that de-
cisions will be taken at it which will
AFFECT the conduct of the war and its
conclusion. When take MY place at
the conference as representative Of
the government, need the sympathy
and the confidence of the chamber, for
we are at that moment of the war
when, as Premier Lloyd George has
said, it is necessary for us to be on
our guard against Germany's diplo-
matte offensive. Germany is now re-
duced to attempts to weaken the ma
tional sentiment of each of the allies
and to re-awaken old quarrels between
the allies
NJ. Barthou said that it was impossi-
BILE to state at present what guarantees
should be exacted against the recur-
renee of war like thu. present one.

THELINDSAYS
TWO OTTUMWANS RECALL FAM.
ILY OF NAME SOUGHT BY
CONSUL AT. PARIS.

The most tangible information about
the parentage and home of William
Oscar Lindsey yet received came to-
Fourth street.
A letter from the American consul
general at Paris, received by City Clerk
Curran few days ago. stated that q
man, known as William Oscar Lind
say, was in the French capital attempt
ing to establish his American citizen
ship. He claimed to have been born
in Ottumwa in 1879.
LIVED ON SECOND STREET.
Mrs. Morey says that the family
lived in small brick house located at
the west side of the Wilkinson apart.
ments, Second and Jefferson.
She and Mr.. Morey went to house
keeping next door to the Lindsays. The
fathers name Vas Oscar Lindsay She
remembers a boy being born to the
family during the winter of 1879.
AS she recalls it, the family later
moved to Clinton.
M'cREIGHT KNEW FAMILY.
Joe McCreight, 322 South Benton
street, recollects a Lindsay family
who, he thinks, left Ottumwa about
thirty-eight years ago to reside in a
western city There was boy, John
Lindsay, with,whom he went to school,
who returned to this city about twenty
years ago for short visit, but Mr.. Nc
Creight has never heard of him since
that time.
The family lived in a small house
near the Bachman lumber yards. which
were located where the Pallister
now stand, and the father,
William Lindsay was teamster for the
lumber company
MIR. McCreight remembers two other
boys in the family beside John, and a
girl named Mary, but he is sure that
neither of these boys was named
William. However. he is inclined to
think that William o. Lindsay is son
who was born shortly prior to the fam
ily's departure from this city as the
young man described in the search for
information is about 80 years of age.
