RECOGNITION IF
 JOSEPH REFUSED BY THE ALLIES
Supreme Council Demands Retirement of Hapsburg Ruler-Anxious to Con- cIude Peace With Hungar- ian People Note Declares Wants Representative Ruler

PARIS. Saturday, Aug. 23.-The su- preme council tonight sent the follow ing note to the Hungarian government, in which announcement was made that the council would have no dealings with a government headed by Arch duke Joseph nor any other member of the Hapsburg family.
 The allied and associated powers have been further considering infor nation derived from our reports and from other sources as to recent events in Budapest. The conclusions are as follows:
 They are most anxious to conclude a durable peace with the Hungarian people, but they feel that this cannot he done while the present Hungarian government is in power That govern ment came into existence, not by the will of the people, but by coup d'etat carried out by a small body of police, under the protection of foreign army
 Tt has at it's head member of the house of Hapburg, whose policies and actions were largely responsible for the calamities under which the world is suffering, and will long suffer A peace negotiated by such a govern ment is not likely to be lasting nor can the allied and associated governments give the economic support which Hun gary needs.
 Tn it's reply that Archduke Joseph is prepared. before approaching the allied and associated governments, to submit his claim to the test of popu- lar elections. we must reply that this procedure cannot be satisfactory if the elections are to be carried out under the auspices of an administration which the archduke himself controls.
 The difficulties in the way of ob- taining by election of a faithful re- fieetion of the popular will are in the present unhappy state of Hungary, most serious. They would be over whelming if an election were carried out under sHrpsburg influences. Even if an assembly elected under such cir cumstances were really representative no one would think so.
 In the interest therefore, of Euro pean peace, the allied and associated governments mean tc insist that the present claimant to the leadership of the Hungarian state should resign and that a government in which all parties are represented should appeal to the Hungarian people.
 The allied and associated powers would be prepared to negotiate with any government which possessed the confidence of an assembly so elected
 The note was signed by Premier Clemenceau.

WASHINGTON, Aug 24-In ap- proving the report submitted to him by Major General Francis J. Herman. head of the special war department, board on courtsmartial and their procedure, Secretary Baker today took the official stand that the present system should not be changed except in minor details. Inferentailly, the secretary upheld Gen. ral Kernan's view that 'courtmartials have always been agencies for creat- ing and maintaing the discipline of armies, rather than agencies tor the nice complication of technical rules of law
 The war department boards report reflected the opinion of 225 officers who were circularized More than half of these gave hearty approval to the present system, forty three condemned it as basically wrong and the remain ing 67 pointed out specific weaknesses which they though should be remedied

Relations Commit tee Says Attempt Will Be Made to Take Action Soon-House to Continue Fight Against H. c. L.
[aepublican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The peace treaty promises to hold the spot light in congress again this week. with possibility that before the week is over the report Of the foreign relations com mittee may bring the question of rati- fieation into the open senate.
 Although Chairman Lodge declined to make any prediction as to when the committee will report, democratic members said tonight they had an un- derstanding with the republicans that action would be taken this week if possible.
 Resume Open Hearings
 Tomorrow the committee will resume for a day its open hearings, but most of the week is expected to be devoted to discussion of amendments to the treaty. Debate on the treaty also is to continue in the senate. Senators Nugent, democrat. Idaho; Kirby. dem ocrat, of Arkansas. and Owen. Okla homa, having given notice they would speak.
 The Franco American treaty will come before the senate Judiciary com mittee tomorrow in connection with consideration of a subcommittee re- port holding the treaty to be no vio- lation of the United States constitu- tion.
 High cost of living questions. will continue to the fore. in both branches. The senate agriculture committee is expected to report early in the week an amendment to put teeth in the Lever food control act The commit tee has before it the amendment passsd Friday by the house, but has not de- r.sz7 l. ure on to the senate or to report out new and distinct measure.
 To Push H. C. L. Legislation
 The house. having carried out one oi President Wilson's recommendations for reducing living costs, will consider another this week in the Hutchison bill to regulate cold storage of food stuffs.
 Two important measures are ex- pected to come before the senate this week in the Smoot bill for develop ment of public oil. gas. coal and phos phate lands and in the prohibition en- forcement bill The former probably will come to a final vote early in the week.
 Hearings on the Kenyon -Kendrick bills for regulation Of the packing in dustry will be resumed tomorrow.
 Outside of the cold storage bill, the house faces very little legislation this week, although considerable debate and 9 hot fight is expected on the measure to confer the permanent rank of gen eral on Chief of Staff March. Repub- lican Leader Mondell hopes to bring up his bill to carry out Secretary Lane $ plan to provide farms for men dis charged from the military service.

should not be sent into Mexico was re- ceived by Colonel Langhorne. last Mon day, it became known tonight. The request was from General Antonio Pruneda commander of the Qjinaga, Mexico district He made his request through Mexican Consul Cosme Ben goechea at Presidio when he learned the Americans were preparing to cross the border.
 T thought we had hot trail located yesterday afternoon" Colonel Lang horne said, but we found it was not the trail of the men being pursued. As it would require several days to locate new trails, it was decided that it was not playing fair to stay in Mexico so the troops were ordered to come out. If there had been a definite prospect of striking a new trail in a day or SD. it would have warranted staying.
 "The troops were ordered in for a definite purpose and when that was accomplished to come out There was no conflict with Carranza troops and my troops had the benefit of good military drill, besides catching bandits and breaking up band of bad men,
 Referring to Lieutenant Peterson's statement that he had been informed a man killed by American aviators was Renteria, Colonel Langhorne said:
 Discredit Report
 While I do not believe the report, Lieutenant Peterson brought tonight, I do take it they got one of Renteria's men during the pursuit when the avia- tors killed one of three bandits"
 In telling tonight of his experience with the bandits who captured and held him and Lieutenant Peterson for ransom, Lieutenant Davis said the two aviators came near losing their lives in swimming the Conchos river and later Lieutenant Peterson became deadly sick from eating nuts which the Mexicans later said were poisonous.
 When we were taken up the dry canon by the bandits Lieutenant said. T became badly frightened for fear they intended to kill us. But we were well treated.
 Travel By Niehs
 @The bandits seemed reluctant io travel in the day time for fear of being seen by American aviators dropped pieces of three handkerchiefs and pieces of cheeks from my check book tscribhling on these help" we are being held by bandits Give this to any United States soldier"
 We became involved in a number of arguments with Renteria which all ways ended with his question i've want to die2 if not do what I tell you"
 Saturday we attempted to kill the guard and try to escape. We failed and they covered us with a rifle We decided not to try again
 Lieutenant Davis said Captain Mat lack came for him, armed with a shot gun and two automatic pistols. He said the captain warned him an attempt to ambush them would be made. They made run for it and reached the Rio Grande without trouble

President Has One of Many Courses Open Should Sen ate Write Qualifications Into Ratification.
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-How far President Wilson may go in his fight for unqualified senate acceptance of the peace treaty is a subject of increas- ing speculation in official and diplo- matic circles.
 With the group of reservation repub- licans apparently determined to write their qualifications of the league of na- tions covenant into the ratification it. self and with republican leaders pre- dieting that the senate will amend outright the Shantung provision anl perhaps other sections of the treaty, an interesting set of possibilities pre- sent themselves. There has been no authoritative expression of the presi- dents probable course should the treaty be returned to him with textual amendments or reservations written into the ratification. He told the for eign relations committee Tuesday, however, that he would consider either method of qualification as tantamount to re-opening the negotiations with Germany.
 Several Courses Open
 Should such amendments or reserva- tions be inserted, therefore,-an event ually which democratic senate leaders deny is likely but which the republi- cans say is certain-the next move would be up to the president. What he would do is a question on which those who have talked with him dis agree: but a discussion of what ne would be authorized to do under the law and precedents reveals general agreement that several courses would be cren.
 Summed up, these discussions con template that he might take up the question of changes in the treaty by diplomatic correspondence; return to Paris and ask that the peace confer ence be reassembled for negotiation of new treaty; send a new delegation to reopen negotiations; or pocket the treaty and refuse to proceed further unless the senate receded from its position.
 The possibility of MT. Wilson's re- turn to Paris to straighten out the ! points raised by any senate qualifica tions is one which some senators say would be entirely in line with his course thus far in the peace settlement.
 To send an entirely new set of peace delegates also would be admittedly within the presidents power and in lIldl COIl1cCtiOIs TCpUDllcdn ScHdlOA . | frequently have mentioned Senator Hitchcock's statement that the presi- dent laughingly suggested Senators Lodge and Knox as possible selections to negotiate new treaty should the | present one be amended.

Reports from Paris that Repub-

Senators declined to comment se-
