 ON PEACE COUNCIL

DENVER, Colo, April 17-Resolu- tions adopted at the closing session today of the national convention of the Farmers Educational and Co-op- erative union, asked for representa- tion of farmers on the league of ma tions.

VESSEL
 DA|NPENS JOY OF HOMEbOUNDBOYS

NEW YORK, April 1.-The home coming joy of 1926 American troops on the steamer Saxonia was dashed, this afternoon, when the soldiers, clustered cheering at the rail, saw the naval tug Freehold sent to the bottom of the Hudson river by a blow from the Saxonia's propeller, as she was working to warp the big liner into her pier.
 A muster of the Freehold's crew to- night showed three men missing Rescued members of the crew said they saw Larry Lanhan, chief machin- ist's mate, sink after short struggle. It was thought possible that the other two men unaccounted for had been picked up by small boats and taken ashore.
 The seamen were drowned when the propeller of the transport Saxonia sliced off the stern of the naval tug Freehold while the smaller vessel was docking the troop ship at a Cunard pier.
 The sinking of the tug was one of the most dramatic marine accidents which has ever occurred here. The cheers which a moment before had been echoing back and forth from transport to dock, were hushed as from the stern of the great vessel came the sound of rending steel and wood.
 Rescue Work is Fast
 The Saxonia's decks, crowded to the rail with returning troops, were the scene of greatest confusion. but only for an instant, Then quick thinking fighting men put their thoughts into action. Ropes were thrown overheard and five seamen pulled from the Hud son.
 Meanwhile the naval tug Crawford also engaged in warping the Saxonia into her dock, saved three more lives Police, working from the pier, rescued another three, and a rowboat, hastily put out from the shore, brought the total of those saved to IA.
 The Freehold was less than three minutes in sinking, according to wit nesses.
 Witnesses said the commander oi ! the Saxonia evidently intended to aiC the tug by giving the larger craft { kick ahead" the quick rush of water 1 however, sucked the tug in under tn, 1 stern and the Saxonia's thirty ton pro peller blade descended like knife oI ! the stern of the smaller vessel ! Those on the dock hardly had tim to run to the pier head, before the tug stack disappeared. Only the tops 0 her masts remained above the surface

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April IT, Formal denial that a K roeanvrpio Formal denial that a Korean provision al government had been set up in Seoul was made here today by T. Ohta, Japa- nese consul general. He stated also that Japanese authorities denied the Korean declaration of independence was openly distributed by the provis ional government in Seoul.
 Cabled advices of the progress of the revolution given out by MT. Ohta today, said:
 April H. A mob of 20O people vio- lently attacked the office of the gov ernment of Chooen county, in the Roo kai Do, where there were on the same day two other disturbances on a small CT scale, but all of them were subdued without casualty.
 "A violent attack was made by mobs on gendarmes who were pursuing cer- tain criminals in Reishun county of the Keilli Do The gendarmes protected themselves by firing a gun which killed one of the mob. The crowd then dis banded. In two disturbances in South Keishoo Do, and one each in south Seenra Do. Kookai Do and Koogen Do, mobs were reported numbering from twenty to three hundred persons, but later they were all dispersed without damage on either side.
 April F, in Kinkai county. of South Seenra Do, a mob of 200 rushed at the patrol station and inflicted some dam age. They were at first repulsed by the gendarmes but again came back in greater strength, which was met by the gendarmes and infantrymen who fired jointly upon the lawless crowd.

A mob of thirty people in a certain locality of north Keishoo Do was dispersed without damage"
 MT. Ohta said that Seoul has been quiet, since the end of March, although there have been some disturbances in the neighboring provinces which are expected to end soon
 Certain Koreans tried to distribute the declaration with a great demon stration on April 1O," he said, "but feiia-s to do so on account of the strict vigilance of the police. It may not be denied, however, that they succeeded in distributing three or four hundred copies

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Revision of some features of the VictoryLiber- ty loan campaign is under considera- tion as result of complaints against activities on Sunday and holidays of church calendar.
 Early (oday there came a protest to Secretary Glass from Philadelphia churches, against the showing of Lib erty loan moving pictures in theaters on Sunday. An hour later, a delega- tion of Washington ministers called on Mr. Glass to urge that Sunday flying circuses, scheduled in various parts of the country, be abandoned.
 Sunday engagements of the flying circuses probably will be abandoned, Mir. Glass said. The question of show ing moving pictures on Sunday for the loan is likely to be left to local cam paign committees.
 During the last loan, many cities held intensive house to house canvasses on Sunday afternoon and evenings, to raise their quotas, with the active CO., operation of churches.
 "We must not forget" said MT. Glass, in discussing the subject, that the raising of the Victory Liberty loan is pretty holy matter itself
 Secretary Glass speaking itinerary on behalf of the loan, announced to- night, included the Cleveland date for Saturday. Other engagements were as follows:
 Cincinnati April 21: Louisville April 22; Indianapolis April 23; Omaha Aprl 25; Denver April 26; Hutchinson April 27; Oklahoma City April 2s; St. Louis April 29; Atlanta May l. and Charles 1 ton, s. c. May ?.

NORTHCL|FFE |S OPENING. VAR IN PREMIER GEORGE
Two Political Giants of Eng land Locking Horns For Finish Battle - Inter change Compliments One Is "Peeved"- Other "Can Read But Doesn't"

LONDON, April 17.-(By the Asso- riated Press) ).-Open warfare between David Lloyd George, British prime minister. and Lord Northclffe, Eng lands foremost publisher. is to the political world the most interesting re- suit of the premier's flying visit to London from the Paris peace confer euce. and his speech before parliament Wednesday.
 Lord Northcliffe and Baron Beaver brook, who served as the official eye witness" for the Canadian government .at the front in 1916, and later became K hancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and minister of information, always lave been credited with being the towers behind the scenes who brought bout the retirement Of Premier As uuith and the succession of Lloyd George to the head of the cabinet
 Northcliffes newspapers gave Lloyd Cieorge general support throughout his management of the war. but when the general. election followed the arimstice, they shifted somewhat to the attitude # friendly criticism.
 Only during the latest developments of the peace conference have they be- come sharply critical of MT. Lloyd Georges leadership. The premier in his speech in the house of commons, credited this fact to disease of vanity, and pointedly hinted that it was due to disappointment on Lord Northcliffe's art that he had not been appointed on the peace delegation. The premier referred to peace terms Lord North cIiffe recommended in the Times before he peace conference began sayin
 Says Lord Disappointed
 T am prepared to make some allow ance when a man is laboring under a keen sense of disappointment How ever unjustified and however ridiculous the expectations may be, under those circumstances he always is apt to think The world is badly run
 The Times today replied with a sashing attack, accusing Lloyd George of overlooking reports prepared by ex- ports. Tt is currently said by his colleagues in Paris" the Times de- clares. that while he is able to read and write, he does neither"
 After saying that the record of the Times during the war speaks for itself the newspaper apparently threatens a future attack, saying some points Of his war records require to be more fully known"
 The Evening News. a Northcliffe publication, today prints 8 cartoon of inc premier lowering over Westminster in an airplane, labelled ''hot air." with bombs for the Northcliffe papers.
 MT. Lloyd George and Lord North cliffe probably are the two most influ antial personal forces in British politics and now that they are fiercely and publicly at war, the effect on Mr. Lloyd Georges political fortunes and the test Of the influence of the Northcliffe press, which is expected to follow, will mark the beginning of a new political chapter, the developments of which are being discussed with the liveliest in tcrest.
