MARSHALL WARNS BAPTIsTs.

Washington, May 13.-~Nice Presi-

warned against entry as IN organiza-

MANY NOMINATIONS HELD UP.
Important Posts Wait Will, Senate
Tarries; Wilson May Appeal.

Washington, May 13,-Unlcss the
Senate soon confirms number of inn
portant nominations which have been
held up because of partisan or other
reasons, the President probably will di-
rect the attention of the country TO the
dlatory tactics of coordinate branch
of the government vested with powers
and duties of confirmation.
Whether the President will send a
message of protest direct to the Senate
itself or a letter to some Democratic
leader. is not yet known; but there is
basis for the belief that the White House
has its eve on the Senate situation and
is viewing with increasing impatience
the delay in combinations. II is con-
sidcred entirely probable that public at
tention will be directed 10 this state
of affairs by the President in the alb

distinct effects. 1t rendered it necessary
for the Old Guard to 20 to the support
Of Lodge, which ii promptly did by select
ing him as temporary chairman and the
keynoter Of the convention. The next
effect was to array the irreconciliables
against the President, on the one hand,
and against the reservationists on the
other.
PREACH IN PARTY wIDENED.
And while the President may have
forced distasteful issue upon certain
elements in his own party, he at the same
time appears to have widened the breach
which has been growing in Republican
ranks for many weeks. IL is becoming
more and more difficult to see where
common ground will be found upon which
the Penrose-Iodge- ge-Crane-Barnes-B -Brande-
gee group of Republican leaders and
the Johnson -Borah-K group
can stand.
The treaty question is only one OF
many rocks upon which the party may
break The fact is, there is little in
common between the two factions now
facing each other. One is absolutely
reactionary in its conservatism and the
other is totally radical in its ''progressiv-
ism" eBut. more important from
practical standpoint than issues and con-
victions. is the conflicting ambitions
involved in the present situation. Two
entirely different sets of men are out to
seize the control of the Republican party
and WELD the enormous power such con-
troll carries with it.
TO HEAD OFF JOHNSON.
To the Old Guard Republican, sur
render of control either by handing over
the organization or by nominating and
electing an insurgent President is un-
thinkable. No such thing will happen
if there is any human way to prevent
IL. There is not an oldtime leader IN
the party who does not say emphaticaliy
both privately and openly that the NOM
nation of Senator Johnson is impossible,
also the nomination of General Wood
The votes will be on hand TO head either
man off, il is asserted, and they will be
cast according TO orG.-rs
II is inconccivable to moss politicians
here that Senator Johnson and his fol-
lowers could be unaware Of the combina-
ton that is bcIfs upon his defeat. The
chances are the Senator understands
perfectly that ne cannot get the Repub-
Lcan nomination: that nc cannot do what
Theodore Roosevelt failed to do and
that neither threats nor entreaties will
prevail against an organization that would
lust as soon sec Democrat IN the White
House for four more years as an uncon-
trollable Republican.

OPPONENTS OF BONUS
THREATEN TO KILL BILL
Hold Trump Card and Ready to
Show Hand, One of the Lead
ers Saws.

Washington, May I3.--Another SUI
preme effort to prevent approval by tho
House ways and means committee of the
cash bonus for soldiers will be made be-
fore the legislation gets on the floor.
That opponents of the cash bonus
will be successful in this effort is seri-
ously doubted, though. without divulg-
ing their plans, it was said last night by
one of the leaders in this movement that
u trump card was held for final play.
The plan, il is known, is 10 present n
motion during the final hours OF the com
mittee meeting The motion would he
to strike out the proposal for a cash
bonus and permit the soldiers TO be re-
warded in the manner proposed in other
sections of the bill. Democratic mem
bers, as wei as Republicans, will be a
this meeting of the committee and the
full anticash bonus strength can be mus
tered.
What the trump card is no one would
state. but it was intimated that OPP
ponents of the cash bonus feature might
bring Representative Claude kitchIn
to the committee rooms to east his vote
in opposition to the bonus. kitchin has
always been very frank in his opposition
to this feature of the legislation and has
insisted that the time would come when
the soldiers would wish they had never
accepted the money.
When the proponents OF the leglsa-
tion were advised of this effort they snid
the committee vote might be close on the
motion to strike out the cash bonus but
that undoubtedly the committee measure
would carry through without any vitei
change Proponents ot the legislation
count on az least IL Republican votes
an,. three Democratic votes TO support
The cash bonus end this wcaild give n
majority on the committee. They fear
that four Republican leaders may join
with the anti-bonus movement and that
this detection from Republican ranks
will make the issue close
Various compromises TO insure that
the soldiers will be rewarded in some
manner in this or the next Congress are
being considered but only tentatively.
II is agreed upon practically by every
member Of the ways and means commit
tee that there is every probability the
legislation will not get through the Senate
at this session, even though the House
acts And therein lies a danger to the
soldier bonus, for once this agitation Is
over and the November elections have
been passed, there IS general agreement
that the desire to pass cash bonus VIII
not he so great in Congress.
Plans Of the Republicans to have the
ways and means committee meet to-
morrow for final consideration of the
| legislation have gone astray again and
it is possible action will not be had in the
House until the middle Of next week.
Absence OF some committee members
DELAYED the vote which was intended 60

thusiasm over President Wilson's peace
issue pronouncement. in which he stood
nat in behalf of the Versailles treaty and
against the Lodge reservations, has sud
denly subsided. Whatever jubilation may
have been felt at the spectacle of the
titular head of the Democratic party
repudiating the treaty votes OF 23 Demo
cratic Senators has been followed swiftly
by alarm bordering on CONSERVATION.
LEADERS p,sHEARTENEr.
The cause of this lightning change is
the threatened split in Republican ranks
upon the self-same issue. The notice
given the Republican Old Guard yester-
day that the progressive wing OF the
party would not stand for any league OF
nations In the Chicago platform, Lodge
or no Lodge, reservations or no reserva-
tions. has disturbed and disheartened the
party masters as has no other circum-
stance in months. For the first time
MANY of those old-line leaders are be-
ginning to believe what they have listened
TO and scoffed at for weeks namely, that
a third ticket seems inevitable in this
campaign.
While it is true that the Borah state
ment of yesterday was couched IN con-
ciiatory terms and did not read like an
ultimatum, the significance OF 1t has not
been lost on the reservatIonlst statesmen
in the Republican party. They admitted
in private conversation today that the
whole business was ominous and that
the moderate suggestion OF the radicals
that the league be abandoned would
soon be followed by peremotory de
mand that the covenant be scuttled out
right and that the Republicans 60 before
the country on non-leaguc platform
For such a program the conservative
Republicans have no taste whatever
They do not want to repudlate Lodge,
for one thing They do not want to
throw their own reservations overheard
for another, and they arc afraid to take
their chances with the voters, many
millions Of whom arc women, as he de-
clarcd opponents of any League OF Ma
tions or other association Of powers to
guarantee the peace of the world.
AGREEMENT SEEMED PROBABLE.
For the past few weeks it has seemed
possible to the Lodge reservationists to
reach an agreement with the bitter
enders upon treaty plank IN the plat
form which would stand for League
of Nations while at the same time con-
demnlng the covenant pIVpoSeu bS ifesA-
dent Wilson. The Lodge group were
even prepared to omit all mention of
reservations and all commcndation Of
Lodge and his immediate associates if
harmony could be purchased at that
price. And it looked for a time as if
these negotiations would succeed. They
might have succeeded, IN fact, il the
President had not smashed the whole
h,,siness with a demand that the League
with the Lodge reservations be made the
paramount issue of the campaign
