ferences In the twin cities to-day and
tonight formally opened the Republ-

the polls In 1920.
Supreme nationalism was the kew

speeches. While We seek earnestly
and prayerfully for methods lesseninc
future wars, and will go far indeed in
an honest effort to that end. we will
accept no indefinite internationaliza

night.
Frank B. Kellogg. United States
Senator. speaking at the rally, re-
viewed Republican achievements dur
ing the war and expressed hope for
amendments OF the present League of

TENSE SITUATION.

Paris.-Despite embarrassments, the
Americans are proceeding on the the,
DRY that the peace treaty will be ready
by May l, and that the redraft of the
covenant of the league of nations will
be ready.
1t cannot be foretold at this time,
however, how much the Monroe doc
trine and the Japanese demands OF
equality of nations will delay matters.
Although there is an absence of au-
tehentic information, the delegates ad.
NIT that the situation in the near east
is so tense that they would not be
surprised at anything which might
happen there"
One question that was uppermost
was what attitude will Great Britain
and America take IL Serbia is attacked
by country with which the entente
is still officially at war;
In addition to the Bolshevik prob
lem, which 1t is admitted is getting
worse hourly, other obstacles are con
tinually cropping up. Food supplies is
another problem.
