OFFER TOHAVE
US. INTERVENE
Reply Made to Wilson Note
On Peruvian Bolivian
Controversy.
SHEA GIVEN ANSWER
American Ambassador Told
Policy Proposed Never
Will Be Accepted.
SHEA GIVEN ANSWER

Santiago, Chile. April Chile
will not accept intervention in the
Chilean Bolivian dispute or any
other dispute she may have with
her neighbors, either from the
United States or any other power,
the Chilean government declared
today in a communication handed
to Joseph S. Shea. the, American
Ambassador.
The communication was in reply
to the United States note on the
Peruvian Bolivian dispute. and said
in part:
Our ambassador in Washington.
Senior Don Beltran Matthew, advises
this government that the Secretary
OF the State Department has in
formed him that in this emergency
the United States has assumed the
same position that President Will
son adopted in the Peruvian-Chilean
incidents. limiting it to the charac-
ter OF conciliatory advices and not
meaning to press intervention un-
less his mediation or tbod Offices
be asked by both parties.
Never Favored Intervention.
According to this information
Chile considers the meaning of the
United States government note as
clearly expressed: that is. that the
United States does not think OF any
form of intervention in Chilean
Peruvian Boiivian = affairs except
with the reservation that all the
Interested parties should jointly
ask the good Offices or mediation
Of the United States government.
v"Chile never has accepted foreign
interventions and without boasting.
states she will not accept them in
the Tacna-Arica problem or any
other from any power or group of
powers"
Shea Makes Reply.
Shea replied that he agreed with
the principles expressed by the
Chilean government, adding that
the principle of nonintervention was
long ago iHCoipoid idltu III american
policy toward Chile. This, he said,
was proved by the American atti-
tude in December 1918. when Incl
dents resulted in Withdrawal of
Chilean and Peruvian insular agents.
After expressing satisfaction, at
receipt of communication. Shea
ended by declaring he was especial
ly happy to cooperate in the grow
ing commercial relations between
his country and Chile, which he
hoped would lead to a closer un-
derstanding between the peoples of
each nation.

IRISH" PICKETS
AT EMBASSY
REBUKED
Colby Expresses Regret at
Breach Of Courtesy to
Friendly Nation.

All day yesterday the British
embassy was picketed by from ten
to twenty women, who bore large
placards on behalf of the cause of
Ireland"
The police made no effort to in
terferc with the picketcrs. and the
State Department, which took Of
fetal cognizance of the occurrence.
was apparently without power to
, prevent the women from marching
slowly up and down before the
embassy. bearing aIoft their pIa-
cards.
1t was the first time in tht his
tory OF Washington. however, that
demonstration was staged before
the embassy or legation of for
eign power. and later yesterday
Bainbridgc Colby. the new Secrc-
tary of State, issued the following
formal statement:
The, government deeply regrets
the demonstration before the British
Embassy today. AS to the true ma
turc and extent of the demonstra-
tion, we are not at the moment fully
informed. / can say that the gov
ernment will, without delay, take
effective measures to perform its
duty of hospitablc courtesy to the
British Embassy and to preserve it's
own dignity against conduct which
tends in the least degree to breach
of that courtesy due to the repre-
f-;x liz
At 1890 o'clock yesterday the first
picketers arrived at the Embassy
and began their march. The women,
from all parts of the country. say
they came to Washington to fore
stall an attempted massacre of the
people of ireland by the British,
which they declare is set for next
MonNay.
the picketer made no attempt to
converse with passersby, and there
was only one exciting incident in
the days proceedings. A woman
attempted to wrest from Mrs. James
Walsh, of New York, the banner she
was holding. and succeeded in tear
ing it. Mrs. Walsh asked for the
arrest of her assailant. but the po-
liceman on duty simply took down
her name and informed Mrs. WALSH
she would have to obtain a warrant
from the corporation counsel. When
she sought one from him, however.
it was refused.
Capt Robert L. Doyle. in whose
police district the British embassy
is situated. made no attempt to stop
the picke ting. He said the women
were acting in an orderly manner.
The State Department also con-
suited with the commissioners of
the District of Columbia on the sub
ject, and the latter. bearing in mind
the picketing of the White House
by militant sIffragists, said nothing
could be done so long as the wom-
en- were orderly.
All activities on the part of the
state Department to end the pick
citing, though. were taken on its
own initiative. as there was no COM
plant from the Embassy through
out the day. Shortly before 5 o'clock
the woman folded their banners
and marched silently way, saying
that they had completed a days
work. They rcjoined their COM
panions in the Lafayette Hotel, and
they would not say whether demon
stration would be renewed today.

Of Americanism.

Staunton, Va. April 2.-Stonewall

when Reese 7. Grubert marched
away in 1917 to service in the
army. He has returned now and
is a candidate for mayor.
His uncle. William \. Grubert, a

Staunton's residents on the issue of
Americanism.
William A. Grubert also is a can

The political fight has reached a
stage of frenzy here. A newspaper
here last night published an edi-
tOrial questioning the elder Cru

and his friends to white heat in
their denials. Members of tho
American Legion are backing Reese
Grubert in his race.
Meanwhile the city faces an cleo

Thirteen candidates for the Presi-

primaries there that day. The one
polling plurality in each party will

While 1t is still comparatively
early in the pre-convention cam

of the pivotal" States this year. so
far as the nominations are concern
cd. Several candidates, particularly
the Republicans, are confidently
claiming the States endorsement
and are declaring that several -four
ishing booms will be permanently

Seven Republicans Compete.
The thirteen candidates are:
Republicans-Senator Miles Poin-

Gen. John J. Pershing, Maj. Gen.

candidates are expecting to cash

Wood and Johnson-both of whom
were personal friends of T. r. and
are generally regarded as progress

will inherit a large part of the lib
eral element that supported Roose-
Welt and Wilson.
The fact Hoover is on both tick
cts is expected to present an inter-
esting situation. This is the first
time he has been put to the test
politically since his telegram to the
San Francisco Hoover Club, in
which he aligned himself with the
Republicans. Naturally, this is
looked to to increase his Republican
and decrease his Democratic vote,
but his followers assert they would
not be surprised to see him lead
both tickets.

Paris, April 2-The final decision
OF the General Federation Of Labor
to call a general strike OF twenty
four hours on May /, effective
throughout France, already has TO-
cused governmental attention upon
revolutionary tendencies" resulting
from the serious, IL not critical, in
ternal situation.
A year ago there was so much
skepticism as to whether there
really would be a general walk -out
that matters were allowed to drift
until almost the last moment. Then
troops were hurriedly concentrated
In Paris and other large cities. The
result was several serious CLASHES
between the proletariat and the
military. which were settled only
when soldiers cleared the boule-
wards with drawn swords. For a
city that soon was to entertain vic
torious armies in the solemn fete of
a march beneath the arch of triumph
May / was a somber and disquieting
spectacle.
General Conditions Bad.
Now while general conditions are
little. IL any. improved. and in some
ways are worse than in the dark
days OF the var.-the year that has
just elapsed gives ample opportu-
nifty for reflection upon events in
Russia and elsewhere. This is like
.ly to bring a more conciliatory note
into the conferences between the
government and the labor fedora
tion between now and the date pro-
posed for the demonstration.
So while it is altogether likely
that the strike will take place, the
result probably will be "one of those
strikes Of style" as Alfred Capus
says. without significance, without
profound thought. into which the
working classes will enter with hes
liant hearts because they permit
ted it to be imposed on them by
chiefs Who themselves lack enthu-
siasm"
Strike Probably Harmless.
If such be the case and If the gov-
crnment authorities give the order
to the military not to look for
trouble where no real trouble ex-
ists-which was not entirely the case
last year-then the Federation of
Labor may have its demonstration
with no harm to anybody.
Although several members of the
cabinet have expressed themselves
strongly on the precautions to be
taken-which naturally is their
also declared they
would be neither dupes nor ac-
completes of the revolutionaries
and that there was no real feeling
of general alarm resulting from
the labor pronunciamento.
There is only the expression OF
hope that accord will be estab-
lished between the government ana
the federation. together with the
faith that the good sense of French
in the face of the pres
ent national necessity for sticking
together. has not been completely
lost. Also the fact that the new
taxes enforced today will give a
full months time in which one
may get accustomed to them. will
aid the situation.

Quick Action Desired.

Quick Action Desired.
The provisions of the bill re-
main to be worked out, but dis
cussion in the committee indi-
Gated that it will follow the lines
of cash bonus and extension OF
vocational education to all former
soldiers. The legislation must be
restricted to these two methods,
it was generally agreed, il it is TO
be passed before Congress adj
journs in June.
The other two features OF the
American Legion's alternative plan
home building and farm de-
velopment-would have to carry
complicated machinery. which
would result in serious legislative
difficulties.
1t was pointed out that while
sentiment Was almost unanimous
in favor OF the Federal Reserve
act and the Federal farm loan act,
the difficulties in framing them
and passing them through the two
houses caused delays OF several
months. The same thing would be
experienced with soldier aid bill
carrying home and farm provis-
ions, il Was felt. y
Working Out Details.
The task of working out the de
tails of the bill was left to five sub.
committees. which were agrctd on
by the Republican and Democratic
leaders on the committee They
will be confirmed at a meeting OF
the full committee Monday MORN
ing.
The subcommittee will make a
careful study of the various pro-
posals submitted to the committee.
the number of persons eligible to
the proposed benefits and the cost
of each plan, and recommend the
most practicable plan to be
adopted.
a thorough study also will be
made of the several proposed meth
DDS of raising the revenue neces-
sary to provide for the bonuses.
The subcommittee will begin
work Immediately. said Chairman
Fordney. and should submit their
recommendations within a few
weeks. He was confident the bill
would be passed long before" Con-
gress adjourns.
One proposal offered Sat today's
meeting was that the schedule OF
taxation in the original war revenue
act, which raised $4,000, 100000 for
the year 1918, should be restored.
This schedule was modified so as to
reduce the amount of revenue to
81. ZOO, 100000 for 1919, now being
collected. The additional $1,000
900, 900, il was pointed out, would
be more than sufficient to NEE: Tie
bonus requirements.
Members of the committee were
rot prepared to say what would be
the amount of the cash bonus. but
IL was indicated that it will be less
than the $3.50 a day for each day
served. as recommended by the
American Legion The cost. there
fore. would be less than $4,000. .000,-
600. it was said.
Representative Henry T. Raincv.

that he would insist upon considera-
tion of his bill providing for a re-
.troactive tax on war profits.

Another Attempt Likely.
Another attempt to make Will
son declare himself on the third
term proposition is looked for
soon.
But those in close touch with
the White House believe that,
while he will not be candidate,
he will not eliminate himself from
the situation until the Democratic
convention actually nominates
somebody else.
In this way he will maintain
his leadership and take a hand in
picking the nominee.

affair. as seen here. is about as
follows:

Then the operations were trans
ferred to Georgia, home of Senator
Hoke Smith. one OF the first Demo-
Gratis to break away from Wilson's
leadership. One hundred signatures
are necessary there to put a name on
the primary ballot. Those interest

word that he wanted his name with

surely do so, and that he would have
