ARMY LEAGUE
Resigns Because Organization
Opposes His Army-Leiter
Sends Hot Reply.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt yesterday re-
signed as honorary vice president of the
Army League because the officials of that
organization opposed the Harding amend
ment to the administration eonscription
bill. which would have allowed the Col
onel to raise a division for service in
France.
In letter to Joseph Letter. president
of the Army League, the Colonel charged
that Letter by opposing the Harding
amendment, was using the Army
League to the detriment Of the army and
to the detriment of the, United States. g"
Referring to Senator Stones speech
against the amendment, the Colonel said
80 far as the opposition is not due to
mere puzzle it can only be
due to politics. and politics of a very
unwise and improper kind"
Mr.. Letter, in a reply to the Colonel
declared:
THE early disasters of the civil war
came from those who had received mill
tary rank as a result of possessing the
political influence to put them in COM
mands for which they were not fitted
Let US hope that in this war this can he
avoided. Do your part to this end. Make
a sacrifice OF your personal ambitions on

New York, May 10-Sensations were
rapid today in the trial of Capt. Franz

charges of conspiracy.
First Judge Cushman dismissed the in
dictment against Frank S. Monet, for
mer attorney general of Ohio, because OF

Won Rintelens counsel, Albert Massey,
then told the court that his client would

Even Should Germany With
draw U-Boats, U. S. Would
Not Act Without Consent
of Allies.

The United States VII not conclude q
separate peace with Germany. Even
should the Berlin government offer terms
acceptable to this country. there will be
no action unless taken jointly with the
European allies.
This definition Of American policy was
given at the State Department yesterday
afternoon as a result of widespread re-
ports during the last few days that Ger
many contemplated a proposition to this
country. Cable dispatches from Europe
yesterday afternoon further indicated
that the imperial government was about
to make another statement of terms.
The State Department made fat denial
of reports that proposals from Berlin
had already reached this government.
Secretary of State Lansing declared that
nothing whatever had been heard
through any channel or from any source.
Whereas in February this government
would have accepted a discontinuance of
submarine warfare by Germany as a
sufficient concession to avoid a break in
relations, 1t was declared yesterday that
even should Germany withdraw every
U-boat she has from the ocean, it would
not lead this nation to listen to her peace
proposals now.
The question Is graver and deeper, and
the department would not make known
the terms 1t has in mind as to what
peace must be when 1t comes. 1t is
known, however, that the aims and pur-
poses of the administration are drafted
on the lines laid down by President Will
son in his war address to Congress. The
extension of democratic government and
guarantees under which smaller nations
shall be safe form the keystone of this
position.
The governments determination not to
conclude a separate peace has been but
tressed as a result of the conferences
here with the French and British mis-
sions, it was indicated in official circles.
This does not mean, however, that the
administration contemplates making this
nation a signatory to the joint agree
ment binding the allies to. a peace for
all or peace for none policy.

While the plan of the German govern

President Would Appoint an
Emergency Agent" to
Regulate and Control the
Situation.


President Wilson will appoint a food
dictator" to be known as an Emer-
gency Agent. His intentions became
known this afternoon after Secretary Of
Agriculture Houston and Chairman
Lever, of the House Committee on Agri-
culture, had been called to the White
House for a conference the purpose Of
which was to discuss the speeding up Of
pending food legislation.
The President is very anxious for
early action on the bills which will con-
fer on him powers to regulate and con-
troll the food situation" said Secretary
Houston. He feels the great urgency
because activities which would aid not
only the United States. but our allies are
being held up indefinitely.
''As I understand it. President Wilson
intends to name an executive agent, who
will have the advice of the men in
producing. distributing, and commercial
circles best qualified to give sugges-
tions"
Representative Lever emphasized the
Presidents desire for speedy action on
the food bills. saying that the delay
was doing great harm to the United
States and the entente allies.
THE question of whether the men who
fight our battles shall not be older than
25." he declared. ''is not so important
as conserving the food supply. Our
fighting men and their brothers in arms
abroad must be fed. and to feed them
the United States must act"
Asked abouS reports that a powerful
lobby. representing the distillinE and
brewing interests the millers, the break
fast food manufacturers. and others af-
fected by the pending food bills are at
work here, Chairman Lever replied:
Il have heard such reports. From
what I know and have heard it would
not surprise me If they were true"
