Hindenburg Asks Swiss to Gran
Him Residence.

Geneva, May 24.-Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg formally appealed
to the Swiss government yesterday,
asking permission to reside in Swift
zerland as a simple citizen. The
Field Marshal, who recently bought
villa on the shores of Lake Con-
stance, added that he had had only
IA days holiday since the war began.
The Swiss authorities are some
what embarrassed, as it is known
that Won Hindenburg is a mon
archist, and also an intriguer, and
may use this neutral country as a
base for further intrigues. 1t is
learned however, that when suffi-
Gent guefantees are given, permits
Dioh for his residence win be grant,
ed. Meanwhile the Germans con-
tinue their anti-Allied propaganda in
Switzerland.

which, together with the reparatiOn
clauses and a number of minor terms.

at Saint Germaine Sunday by NJ. Dut-
asia, secretary general of the peace

extended over period of thirty years
will be made known before May l.,

kinds is forbidden by the treaty.
The army reduction is described as
part of the plan to render possible
the initiation of general limitation
Of ornaments of all nations"
Austria is assured that the repara-
tons committee win "bear in mind the
elimination of Austria's resources and

AMERICAS RIGHTS
TO Be RESPECTED

Utah Senator, After Conferences Wltb
President, Declares Drastic Steps
Are Considered.-FIao insuited
Near Tampieo.

WashingtOn.-After several cOnfer.
ences with the president and state do.
partment officials, Senator W. II. King
of Utah Saturday stated that the Mex.
lean situation is going to be dealt with
in manner that will fully protect the
rights of Americans, both as to their
lives and their property. Exactly what
the new policy of the administration
is to be, Senator King was not a,
liberty to disclose, but the Inference
was drawn from his remarks that rs
soon as the German treaty is ratified.
or possibly sooner, strong demands
will be made upon CarranZa to guar
antee full protection to Americans
everywhere in Mexico. the demand to
cover also American property rights
in that country.
If satisfactory assurance followed
by satisfactory performance is not
promptly Forthcoming, it would seem
to be the purpose of the administration
to resort to military means of per-
suading CarranZa that American
rights can no longer be disregarled
in his country.
What form of military move would
be resOrted to in such event, is appar.
emily not yet fully determined.
The state department is working on
its reply to Senator Kings resolution
calling for full information regarding
past depredatiOns against Americans
and American property in Mexico, the
report being delayed, 1t is explained. by
the mass Of data that is being assem-
bled. The foreign relations committee
is standing back of Senator King in his
effort to get a full statement of Mex
lean Outrages against Americans, with
view to bringing about speedy and
fair settlement of all American claims
against the Mexican government.

Washington.-Secre of the Inter-

Governor Davis asserted that the
hazard of the present forest fires is
the greatest ever known and involves
millions in economic loss unless han
died rapidly and intelligently. He also
advised that the fires are now invad

Smith, who saw the chief forester and
secretary of agriculture. has not vel
been advised that the department will
allot special funds to fight the present
fires where they invade national for
