MOVE STARTED TO
 PROBE WAR FUNDS
Illinois Congressman Offers Resolution For Special
 Probe Committee

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Republi. cans made their first move in con. gress today toward beginning their proposed Investigations of war expen. ditures.
 A resolution, approved by party leaders, was introduced by Represen- tative Graham, Illinois, calling for. the appointment by Speaker Gillett of a special committee of 15 members 'to fully investigate all contracts and ex- penditures made by the war depart ment under it's direction during the present war" Early action on the measure is planned by the Republi. cans.
 The resolution was referred to the rules committee, headed by Represen, tative Campbell. Kansas, who said he anticipated that the resolution would be called to the attention of his com mittee next week.
 Party leaders intimated the investi. gations might assume a wider scope than inquiry merely into the war de- partment. It was said the committee might investigate the expenditure of the $100,oO0,O0O war fund given the president for discretionary disposal and also might investigate the war risk insurance bureau.

British Cheers Die Abruptly When
 HaUker BeIittLes Flight of W C-4

LONDON, May 2S.-(By the Associ- ated- Press. )-Speaking at a luncheon given by the Daily Mail today in his and Lieutenant Commander Grieve's honor, Harry G. Hawker deprecated the organization which had won for the United States the honor of the first crossing of the Atlantic by a heavier-than-air machine. He declared it was not serious attempt, with a ship stationed at every 20 yards"
 Hawker continued: "If you put a ship every 50 miles, it shows you have no faith in your motor"
 This remark was met With absolute silence by those at the luncheon, num- bering between 250 and 300, nearly all of whom were British. A few min- utes before they had cheered heart fly the statement that the American navy aviators had been successful ,n reaching Europe.
 Hawker disclosed that Saturday night, immediately preceding his start, he and Raynham had agreed that un- less the wind changed they would

start Sunday for a flight by way of the Azores and Portugal The wind veered slightly Saturday night, enough to give Hawker and Grieve the chance to start fro mtheir airdomes but it was unfavorable for Raynham. He declared that although the weather was unfavorable the success of the Americans in reaching the Azores in- duced him to start
 Any Englishman here," he added. would have done the same thing un. der the same circumstances"
 Lieutenant Commander Grieve said he was very nervous over his navi- gation abilities when he started, but soon ascertained that the navigation of an airplane was the same as of ship. There were no difficulties un- til the clouds precluded the taking of sightings. He predicted that the navi- gating of airplanes would be simple matter in the future.

 With the hour at hand when Germany must make known to the allied and associated powers her intentions with regard to- the peace terms, the only impasse in the way of letting the Austrians know what their penalty is to be for having been associated with Germany in the war, has been preached
 Thursday at Versailles will witness the ceremony of the Ger man peace delegation handing in their reply to the allied terms. The reply will consist of a volume of counter proposals and accept ances aggregating 10S pages of printed matter
 Friday at St. Germain the Au- strians, who have been clamoring for an early presentation of their peace treaty, will be called before the peace congress and handed the document.
 Plume Question Settled
 This has been made possible through an agreement reached in the council of four on one mighty question which had blocked the council in its efforts to settle the issues with the Austrians-Italy,s demand that she be awarded Plume, and given other conces-

sions in Dalmatia to which Presi- dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George and Premier CIemenceau believed she was not fully en- titled. The nature of the settle ment has not yet been made pub lie.
 The German reply will run the gamut from financial inability to meet the allied terms through a long series of protestations of un- fairness of treatment to the decla- ration that it would be injustice for the allies to demand the right to try German culprits charged with having committed excesses during the war.
 Lay Stress on "A Points"
 Great stress is to be laid in the , German document on the asser- tion that the allies are virtually abandoning President Wilson's 14 points for peace which the Ger mans declare they accepted as the basis for the signing of the armis- tice.
 It is reported the Germans in an endeavor to offset the entente claims for reparation will put in counter claim for nearly 13 bill lion marks for alleged damages suffered on account of the block ade laid by the allies against Ger many.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-05-29

VERSAILLES, May 2S.-CBy the Associated Press)-The German peace delegation, it was learned today. will present counter claim of 12,S5O, ,OOO,- 900 marks for damages from the allied blockade as an offset to the reparation demands of the allied powers.
 The counter claim is based largely on the alleged effects of the blockade upon the life. and death of the civilian population. It is argued that, roundly a million births were prevented as a direct result of the food blockade upon the vitality of the women. The same cause, it is contended increased the deaths approximately S00,O00 Lack of milk for young children, absence of rubber and cotton for hospital use and Interruption of supplies of quinine, camphor and other medicines were further factors in the losses according to the German argument.
 Allies the Greater Sufferers
 Should the Germans open this field of inquiry, the allies are prepared to reply effectively by reference to the far greater decrease of births and ir- crease of deaths in France, Belgium, Poland, Rumania and Serbia, as a di- rect result of the German war meas ures.
 The allies possess the eGrman of ficial figures showing that the milk production in Germany during the war was never below 45 per cent of the normal production, which would be sufficient to have maintained the chil- dren, had they received it.
 Huns Caused Own Troubles
 The failure of German cities to re. ceive more than 10 or 15 per cent of the normal milk supplies, was through no fault of the blockade, it was point ed out but was due to the German sys- tenn of distribution. Lack of rubber and cotton for hospitals. likewise, res. resented the active choice of the Ger mans. who devoted to military and other purposes imports of rubber and cotton considerably in excess of the hospital requirements.
 The same augmentation will be ap. piled to the scarcity of synthetic | drugs. due to the conversion of Ger man chemical plants to war purposes.

DEMOCRATS SEEK WILSON THIRD TERM.
All Plans For Race In 1920 Wait Announcement By President That He Will Run
National Committee Says League Of Nations Will Be Party Platform Next Year

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Describing the Republican party as an organization which complains" and moves back ward and the peace treaty and the league of nations covenant as the greatest document of human liberty ever prepared" Chairman Homer s. Cummins of the Democratic nahonai committee today sounded the keynote for an aggressive presidential cam paign in 1920.
 Party leaders declared they welcom- ed the opportunity to make the peace treaty and the league of nations COW enant the issue in the forthcoming fight and expressed confidence of vic tory.
 Waiting on Big Chief
 Until President Wilson definitely announces his attitude toward a third term party chieftains say there will be no serious discussion of candidates
 The committee adopted a resolution congratulating President Wilson on his work at Paris in drafting the treaty of peace and the league of na- United States senate to ratify the doc uments promptly.
 J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice chairman of the committee, said the Democrats would welcome the oppor- tunity to make the peace treaty and the league of nations covenant the is- suesof the next presidential campaign.
 The Democratic party had fulfilled all its prediction promises, he said. He welcomed the advent of women into party politics and said the votes of women in the western suffrage states were largely responsible for Democratic success in 1916.
 Soft Words Fail to Appease
 Mrs. Percy Pennypacker of Texas speaking for the women associate members of the committee, said the Democratic congress made a blunder when it failed to adopt the woman's suffrage constitutional amendment, and the commiteee should admit it. She said if the country was to remain Democratic the help of the women was needed.
 The coItmittee is considering hold ing its next meeting in January, 1920, at San Francisco.
 Joseph P. Tumuty, secretary to President Wilson; A. Mitchell Palmer. United States attorney general, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec retary of the navy will arrive tomor- row to attend the closing sessions of the committee.
 Confer With Women Today
 Tomorrow mornings session will be devoted to conference with the wo- men associate members. In the after noon campaign plans will be discussed with state chairmen.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Revolu. tionary outbreaks bulked large today in advices from Mexico City.
 General Ernesto Danny, a major four other officers and 40 men con- posing a train guard on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec railroad were killed recently in an attack by rebels under Felix Diaz' command.
 The train was dynamited by the rebels. In written notices scattered broadcast, the rebels say they intend to stop all traffic on the Isthmus line and the line from Mexico City to Vera Cruz, but that they do not wish to kill or injure innocent men.
 Blockhouses built along these lines to protect transportation are destroy ed by the rebels as fast as they are built, according to these reports.
 The troubles in the south coupled with the fact that Villas activities in the north have necessitated sending troops to campaign against him have reacted in the capital seriously, it is reported.
 Military guards in Mexico City have doubled and machine guns have been placed on the roofs of the ma. tional palace and the cathedral. There is said to be strong feling of unrest in the city and some rioting has re- suited.

obregon Refuses Aid

General Obregon's refusal to take the field against Villa is said to have added to the feeling of uncertainty in the capital, because his friends openly state that his refusal was based upon his belief that Carranza was unable to cope with the present situation and he doubted the loyalty of conscripted federal troops. Several other generals have refused to take the field through desire to retain the concessions" in Mexico City which were given them by Carranza.
 Miners at Velardena, in the state of Durango have asked Carranza fer pro- lection as they fear daily an att2c., by the Villistas. An official report from Torreon to Mexico City said that Villa attacked the federal troops at Cuen- came and after battle of flvo hours the government troops were compell. ed to retire to await achievements.
