He de- clarcd that as substitute for. the league of nations. as now proposed. the United States and the A. E C. nations should have the hegemony of the American continent Great Britain France and Italy Of Europe and Africa. and China and Japan of Asia He sail this would prevent United States sol diers from being sent to far corners of the globe.

POPE USES WIRELESS

ROME. Wednesday. Match 5.-(Bv the Associated Press) The Vatican fer the first time in history has used the wireless telegraph in international relations. A report recently reached Pope Benedict that the bolshevists had imprisoned Monsignor de Ropp. arch bishop of Mohilev, who lives in Petro- grad. and were keeping him as a hostage.
 Considering the advanced age and infirmities Of Monsignor de Ropp and that his imbrisonment would virtually mean death. the pontiff ordered that every thing be done to obtain his re- lease. Cardinal Gasparri. papal secre- tary of state, after consultation with the Russian minister to the Vatican. sent a wireless 5ispatch addressed 10 "Lenine. Moscow" in which Cardinal Gasparri expressed the regret of Pope Benedict over the arrest of the prelate and urging his liberation.
 Four days afterwards Lenine. the balsheviki premier, answered by wire less from Moscow. saying he had made immediate inquiries and had been in formed that the de Ropp arrested was not the arhebishop. but the archbish- ops nephew, = years old, who was accused of intrigue against the bol shevih government.

LAW l;ENCE. Kansas March G. General Peter Traub does not remem- Der that he rescindcd his order sending !. NJ. C. A. and Red Cross workers to the rear. during the battle of the Ar Sonne." Governor Henry J. Allen, said today in explaining his presence at the lront, as against General Traubs tes timony before the house rules commit tee in Washington. that if Governor Allen was at the front it was in viola ton of orders.
 General Traub's testimony was that If Governor Allen said he was at the front, he was there, but officially none of the Y. M. C. A. workers had any place at the front"
 Governor Aliens statement was made during an address to students at the University of Kansas.
 General Traub must have known Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross workers were at the front during the battle, for after the battle he wrote a letter com mending their worS. have a copy of the letter said Governor Allen.
 such statements as are being made by those in high command merely cloud the issue aud don't apply to the charges 1 made regarding the dclin- quencies of the high command. with regard Co the sending Of the thirty fifth division into battle poorly equipped. and not giving them the proper support
 'I do not wish to enter into a contro- versy with General Traub. but when he seems deliberately to forget that he Iescinded the order sending the Y Nj. C.
