Choice of the convention will be made Wednesday. with indications pointing to either Chicago or St. Louis and with early June apparently settled on by the leaders as the date.
 In addition to the national commit teemen from every state, the Repub- lican state chairmen all have been. in- vited to be here this week and a large number of editors of Republi- can newspapers are expected to at tend
 Other party leaders alho have drift ed to Washington to exchange views and get a share in the preliminary maneuvering that really marks the be- ginning of the national campaign. Discussion of a convention city did not get far today. the leaders apnar- ently being too interested in other questions to give it great attention The St. Louis delegation. which ar. rived yesterday. was active during the day. however and the question Is ex pected to take no more interest to. morrow with the arrival of the Chi cago boosters, headed by Mayor Thompson.
 Chicago's chances were helped dur ing the day bv an announcement bv Wm. H. Crocker. the national com mitteeman for California. that San Francisco. mentioned as a contender for the honor. would not actively seek the convention. hut would throw it's influence for the Illinois city.

The strike, however, was brought before the senate late in the day by Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican, New Jersey, chairman of the inter state commerce subcommittee, who in an address caustically criticized the action of the miners, declaring the strike to be "an exhibition of in- human selfishness" and "a brutal menace" to millions of American citizens.
 "Wherein is the course of these strikes less heinous than that of their brothers in soviet Russian" the New Jersey senator asked.

WASHINGTON, Dec.

 'fWe wanted to help. but now the entire Mexican situation goies to the president. The responsibility is on his shoulders. Let it rest there"
 Passage of the resolution, the presi- dent wrote Senator Fall, would "con- stitute a reversal of our constitutional practice which might lead to very grave confusion in regard to the guidance of our foreign affairs" De claring that the initiative in directing relations with foreign governments was assigned by the constitution "to the executive and to the executive only" Mir. Wilson said he was con- fident that "the only safe course" was "to adhere" to the prescribed method of the constitution.

ORDER GERMANS
 TO SIGN PACT

PARIS, Dec. S.-The supreme coun- ciEs notes dealing with the peace treaty were delivered to Baron von Lersner, head of the German delega- tion this evening. The first note denied the German demands for mod ification of the treaty on the surren- der of Germans charged with crimes against international warfare and the return of prisoners. It agrees to consider the economic effects of the indemnities required for the sinking of the warships in the Scapa Flow on Germany ''in a spirit of equity, after a hearing by the separations commission"
 The note warns Germany flor the last time" that renunciation of the armistice would give the allied armies all latitude for necessary mili- tary measures, and adds:
 ''In this spirit we await without delay signature of the protocol and the exchange of notifications"
 Regarding the coercion clause of the protocol the supreme council con siders that signature of the protocol and ratification will make the treaty effective and that the protocols ex. ecution will be guaranteed by the general terms of the treaty and by ordinarily recognized methods. Il rejects the Germans presented right" to modification of the treaty clauses as compensation for the ab sence of Americans from the commis sions.
 The second note deals entirely with the Scapa Flow incident. It places the responsibility on the Germans foI the sinkings and sees in the protest only "an attempt, difficult to explain to delay the treaty"

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Evidence that radicals in Mexico, with the knowledge and support of President Carranza, plotted to instigate a revolu- tion in the United States and to seize the border states acquired by the American government in 1S4S, is con- tained in the memorandum presented to President Wilson by Senator Fall of New Mexico, chairman of the for eign relations subcommittee investi- gating the Mexican situation.
 Plans for the proposed revolution were obtained by the subcommittee from the minutes of a meeting last October 15, in Mexico City, of Lodge 23, an organization of extreme agita- tors and members of the I. w. w. The Mexican president is linked most di- rectly with the plot through cor respondence in which he recommends three men for special consideration because of their connection withc' the plan whih they desire to put into prac- tico in the state of Texas
 These men, the committee states, have been identified as active agents of Lodge 23.
 The memorandum which contains an abstract of the evidence collected by the committee. was delivered to the president by Senator Fall Friday night and made public today.

November. 1919.) to call general strike of all miners and metal workers in the United States: that they have three million adhererts in that country; where they will be able to seize one western and two Atlantic ports: that large number of American soldiers were preparing to take sides with them, and that they proposed to establish a capital of a reformed government of the United States in the state of Colorado: that when such a revolution was success full the Mexicans rendering their as sistance. the border" states which were acquired by the United States under the treaty of 1S4S would be returned to Mexico"

 Profiteers. when convicted. accord. ing to the new law, will be liable to $5000 fine or two year penitentiary sentences, or both.
 Speaking outside the meeting, MT. Atwood said: 3A ,
 "The conduct of retailers through out the country is causing condition of unrest that may compel the gov. ernment to open retail stores on a competitive basis, so that the busi- ness of the retailers will be ruined This course is not desired by the government, put something must be done. The retailers realize the situ- ation and they are lining up now on the fair price plan. In fairness to the honest dealers it must be said that all are not willing profiteers.
 "It irritates the whole public" he continued, "when extreme instances of profiteering are discovered and uncovered, although minor instances are bad enough. A specific case in wolves the sale of army dress shoes in the east. These shoes cost the retailers S595 a pair and were solo to the public at $14.50.
 Make Huge Profits.
 "Prior to the war;" Atwood con tinued, "retailers were averaging pGOIlIS OI lTOlH 1A lO 10 PCl SOhI while now their average range is from 25 to 40 per cent, and shoe re ! tailers throughout the country are averaging 50 per cent"
