WILSON VETOES PEACE MEASURE
Sends Document Back to Congress With Message Defining Reasons Nothing in 1t Justifes American
 Entrance in the World War.

Washington, May 27.--The Repub- lican peace resolution was vetoed to- day by President Wilson.
 Such method of making peace with Germany, the president said, would place ineffacable stain upon the gallantry and honor of the United States.
 Without announcing his intention regarding the treaty of Versailles, the president declared that the treaty em- bodied the important things omitted by the resolution and said by rejecting the treaty the United States had de- clared in effect that it wished "to draw apart and pursue objects and interests of our own"
 The President added that the peace resolution omitted some very import and subjects of vindication of the United States in entering the war. "Such peace with Germany" the message continued, "a peace in which none of the essential interests which we had at heart when we entered the war is safeguarded--is or ought to be conceivable, is inconsistent with the dignity of the United States with the rights and liberties of her citizens and with the very fundamental conditions of civilization"

AN ELABORATE PEACE VETO.
Wilson Expects Message to Become
 Text for Party, It Is Said.

Washington. May 25.--The cabinet at it's regular weekly meeting held in the Presidents study at the White House discussed the peace resolution adopted by Congress and sent to the executive on Monday.
 While there was no difference of opinion among the Presidents advis- CTS as to the Presidents duty in the issue, some of the cabinet members were reported to have offered sugges- tions as to the subject matter in the text of the message, which will be sent to Congress accompanying the veto of the resolution.
 The President had rough draft of his veto message ready and submitted it to his advisers, it was reported. AL though no member of the cabinet would discuss the message, it is un- derstood that the President is applv- ing himself to it with all his mental energy and that he expects the mes sage to become the text for the Dem- ocratic party on the peace issue at San Francisco and in the presidential campaign to follow.

OWEN RAPs INTEREST RATE.
Says Reserve Banks Action Is Blow
 to Financial Peace.

Ponca City, Ok, May 25.--A severe arraignment of the federal reserve beard for its action in increasing in ferest rates was handed out by Sen ator Robert L. Owen, author of the federal reserve law and Democratic presidential aspirant, at a chamber of commerce luncheon today.
 By increasing interest rates, Sem ator Owen declared, the federal re- serve board is helping, aggravating, increasing and developing the very condition it ostensibly is trying to do away with--fnancial stringency and high prices.
 High rates and uncertain times al- ways go together" he said. "In fact, high rates precede and bring on cer- tain financial conditions
 Senator Owen said that interest rates are too high and should not ex- ceed per cent.
 "The federal reserve act was made to protect merchants, business men, agriculturalists and others iii legiti- Innate lines against high interest rates and financial depression by furnish ing needed credit, he said. Congress should enact law eliminating call money rates or at least place the max imum at or per cent. When call money goes up in New York to big figures, it takes money from agricul- tural and industrial centers to New York for the use of speculators, who pay high rates, and need money, crip- pies them and brings on financial de- pression."

FAILED TO OVERRIDE VETO
House Lacked 2s Votes Of the Re,

Washington. May 2S.--An effort to override President Wilson's veto of the republican peace resolution fail- ed today in the house. The vote was 219 in favor of over riding the veto to I5a against or 29 less than the required two-thirds ma jority
 Two republicans, Representatives Kelly of Michigan and Fuller of Mas sachuetts, voted to sustain the presi- dents veto while seventeen democrats joined the republican majority in an
 effort to override it.
