WASH1NGTON, March 2O.-The an
ticipated nomination Of Representative
Irvine L. Lenroot as Republican can
didate for the Senate in Wisconsin
against Joseph L. Davies, formerly Of
the Federal Trade Commission and
personal friend of President Wilson. is
causing profound qualification in Re-
publican circles at the capital. The
defeat of James Thompson. the La
Toilette candidate, eliminates the
loyalist issue from any practical use
in the forthcoming Lenroot-Davies
campaign, it is stated, and further
isolates the Socialist vote, so that it
Will be cast as a straight party vote
for Victor Berger, the Socialist can
didate
No Significance derogatory to Repre-
sentative Lenroot is seen in the close
race made by Thompson. the La Fol-
lete candidate. 1t is generally under
stood that there was a trade between
La Toilette and Berger to cast the
Socialist vote foc Thompson in the
primaries. Thompson's nomination
would have probably assured the ad-
herence Of the Socialist vote to him in
the election. 1t is said.
The absence OF a party enrolment
provision in the Wisconsin primary
also made it possible for Democrats to
vote the Thompson ticket in the pri-
mary. Analysis of the vote will dis
close that this political expedient was
not overlooked by Wisconsin Demo
Gratis, it is anticipated.
The eleventh hour intervention Of
the President in the Wisconsin fight
on behalf of his warm friend former
Commissioner Davies. OF the Trade
Commission. is greeted with not little
satisfaction in Republican circles. The
Presidents attempt to give Mr.. Davies
monopoly on patriotism at Mr.. Len
roots expense is considered not only
arfetched but a potential source of
much discomfort to some leading Dem
ocrats who supported "the McLemore
resolution. the embargo issue and the
armed neutrality MEASURE which, the
President states, applied 'the acid test
IN Our country to disclose true loyalty
and genuine Americanism."
In Washington Mr.. Lenroot is known
as vigorous supporter OF the wa1
programme, though before April 6 he
shared the views of many leading Dem
ocrats in opposing the entrance of the
United States into the war. Notwith-
standing the Presidents strained com
pliment, Mr.. Davies, as member of
the Federal Trade Commission. has not
been in position to really enj oy the
exhllaration OF being publicly tested
for his Americanism. He has been
rather occupied in supplying the Pres
ident with information about steel
prices.
One thing the Davies letter has
made clear, and which does not dis
please Republicans, is that the non
partisanship vouchsafed by the White
House some weeks ago in advising
Minnesota Democrats not to oppose
Senator Nelson for reelection was not
unmixed with political fncsse. II
would not have mattered a great dea
if the President had branded Senate,
Nelson as man to be defeated, it i.
sald. Senator Nelson would have beer
reelected. The President could. there
fore, afford to be macnanimous

a $2,000,000 campaign fund to reelect
Mr. Mitchell. Mr.. Childs and Mr..
Dodge Will be told that unless they
waive their rights to immunity from
prosecution, which their testimony will
automatically give them, they viii not
be permitted to testify.
Mr.. Childs has retained as counsel
Jerome, Rand & Kresel, of 81 Wall

jury subpoena on Mr.. Childs, Assist
ant District Attorney Kilroe notified
Mr.. kresel that his client would be
wanted as q witness this afternoon at
o'clock, providing he would consent
TO sign a waiver of immunity. Mr.

last night whether Mr.. Childs would
consent to sign the document.
Mr. Kilroe wrote direct to Mr.. Dodge
asking him to appear as witness
this afternoon. In his letter Mr.. Kill
roe asked Mr.. Dodge to bring with him
list of the various committees and
sub committees of the Fusion Com
mittee of 1917, of which Mr.. Dodge was
chairman. He also asked him to bring
the records and the dates of the lunch
cons where the matters of finance were
discussed, and also a list Of those
present.

last December by MIR. Kilroe regarding
the details of the disbursements Of the

however, was unable to give definite
information on numerous matters
Mr.. Childs testified that the Fusion
Committee was in the hole for $4,000,
and he didn't know where the money
was coming from.
Mr.. Childs admitted that most of
the Fusion advertising was handled by
the Erickson Advertising Company, of
3S1 Fourth Avenue, of which his son,
Richard S. Chids, was director and
part owner. He said the reports filed
with the Secretary of State stated ac-
curately who the contributors were, and
that no contributions from corpora
tons were accepted.
Mr.. Chids is president Of the Bar
rett Company, manufacturers of pay
ing asphalt, at II Battery Place. He
is also vice president OF the Bon Ami
Company, and lives at SO Prospect
Park West, Brooklyn
Mr.. Dodge has already testified that

wrote the fund for S8O0,oo0 had any
"axe to grind" He said the truth Of
the matter was they were rather
scared about the prospect of Morris
Hillquit carrying the election on a
] naclfst-nro- C German platform.

Beluchistan is situated on the Arab
ian Sea, bounded on the west by Per
sia and the north by Afghanistan. In
the main it occupies the position of a
British protectorate, and part OF it is
directly subject to Great Britain. 1t is
officially included in the empire of IN
dia, although portions Of it are indie
pendent. It's area is 132. 900 square
miles and its population about 1885,
900. For the most part it is & region
of plateaus and mountains.
Beluchistan and Afghanistan have
been important factors in German
plans for a route to India. German
agents have constantly tried to stir up
the many warlike tribes and the big
and little chieftains against the Brit
ish. This has forced the British to
maintain important military forces on
the border.
The Ameer OF Afghauistan has kept
the peace, but the border tribes on the
northwestern frontier of India have
made much trouble and there have
been several campaigns against them
on scale which would have attracted
much attention had it not been for the
war in Europe.
The semi-otficiaI Wolff Bureau, of
Berlin, recently announced that Ger
many had obtained a direct route to
