Washington, May 20 The soldier relief bill passed today by the house 289 to 92 and went to the senate.
 While only the direct vote was pos siblc under the suspension program, it was preceded by three test votes which showed supporters of the meas ure gradually gaining.
 The first vote of l92 to 1S9. coming on a preliminary question, indicated advocates were short by sixty-four votes of the two thirds majority pension program was adopted 200 to l63. showed they lacked only 37 votes
 The third test was on applying the suspension program to the bill, which carried 175 to 91. or two less than the require number for passage.
 Between roll calls debate was heat ed. Democrats, aided by minority of the republicans attacked the "gap rule" of the majority. Advocates of the suspension program declared q vote against it was vote against the bill itself, and gradually they wore down the opposition, the final vote recording forty republicans and 5G democrats in opposition.
 Supporters of the measure de clared the bill was just to the ex-serv- Ii:e men for losses they suffered in the war, but it's opponents denounced il as "political trick" to win the sol dier vote through an attempt te "commercialize patriotism"

Chicago, May 29.-Delegates to the
 republican national convention flock l ed into Chicago today. Many early arrivals were from southern states and large proportion of these men were negroes contesting for seats from states where the race question | has been an issue in the partys or ganization.

 party's governing body to present ad-
 vance arguments for their claims. Campaign managers were perfect 1 ing their plans for the actual work

 1 MT. Hays first official act will be to entertain newspaper correspon- dents at a luncheon. Then he will discuss with those members of the committee who may be. here the se- lection of permanent chairman for the convention.
 here for the opening of the contest
 hearings. One of the knotty prob
 lems which confront the committee is the reducing of over-sized delega- tions to a size which will permit their being seated in the space re- served for delegatess. This has placed several delegations in a quandry. ] HOOverites Busy.
 Statements were issued from the
 headquarters of all presidential can didates summing up the gains re- puted to have been made during the week. undiminished confidence was

 man of Oklahoma, that the delegates from that state would vote solidly for the Illinois governor.
 The Hoover headquarters took on added activity with the arrival of workers from New York. There was steady stream of callers at Hard ing headquarters.

DEMOCRATS WOULD
 EXTEND ECONOMIC
 HELP TO ARMENIA
Senators Move to Soften Re lection of Wilson's
 Request

Washington, May 29.-President Wilson's request that congress au- thorize mandate over Armenia came under fire from democrats and re- publicans today when the resolution to deny such an authorization was brought up in the senate.
 From the democratic side. howev- CT. came a proposai to soften the resolution by adding a provision ex- tending American aid in the economic upbuilding of the new republic. The plan was taken under advisement by republicans so that senators might study it, an agreement was made to defer until Monday any attempt to set a date for vote.
 Under the suggested provision. pre- scented by Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska. joint commission of Amer jeans and Armenians would be au- thorized to supervise the sale here of s5O,OOO,OOO in Armenian bonds. The proceeds would go to buy rail roed and agricultural materials and similar equipment and to the estab- 1ishment of an Armenian banking system.
 Senator Hitchcock said he felt that the resolution as renorted would have the effect of "discouraging' the Armenian people. Senator Lodge republican leader, replied that propo- sals to aid Armenia would be receiv- ed with much sympathy on his side but added that there were many ways in which aid could be extended. There was only brief discussion of the presidents renuest, which Senator Hitchcock said he did not intend to support Several other democrats also indicated their disap- proval, but Senator Williams, demo crat. of Mississippi. declared the | United States would be unfaithful to it's responsibilities if it declined l to take the mandate.
 Senators Jones Of New Mexico and
 Robinson of Arkansast democrat( said the resolution involved an in. dependent question and vote should not be taken without giving it seri' ous consideration.

 Mir. Hayes reaffirms the policy o1 the war department to defer to thf wishes of relatives completely. he' turns from inquiries sent out snow that 50 per cent of those who applied asked that the bodies be sent home Those which remain in France will ps "fittingly and tenderly" cared fol by the government in fields of honol purchased for that purpose.

 The report refers to charges tha the motive behind the proposal fol return of the soldiers wear was "th' propaganda of the undertakers an' coffin makers" and the further charg' that actuating the movement to keel the bodies abroad was "the hope O the French to make their presence n sourco nf constant and SubStantia | financial revenue"
