 APPLICATIONS FOR S5O,OOO, 900

Washington. May 4.-Federal farm loan officials. in conference here, have found no way to avoid a summer of in activity in loaning operations.

General Belief is That the Knox Resolution Will Be Adopted = Veto by Presi- dent is Expected.

Washington, May 4.-The senate will begin debate tomorrow on the Knox peace resolution with the general expectation of it's adoption and certain veto by the president.
 Republican leaders supporting and dem- ocrats opposing the resolution, introduced by Senator Knox as a substitute for the house measure. said a vote probably would be reached within two weeks, or just before the contemplated recess for the conventions, There did not seem to be much doubt among members as to it's passage, but leaders of both parties said they anticipated that with his veto mes sage President Wilson probably. would return the treaty of Versailles to the senate.
 Senator Knox will call up his resolu- tion tomorrow and deliver prepared speech, after which, according to present plans, it will lie over for few days, un- less senators desire to discuss it at odd times.
 Senator Hitchcock, ranking minority member of the foreign relations commit tee, announced after a democratic confer ence today that no attempt would be made to delay action on the measure by filibuster The democrats of the com mittee conferred with Secretary Colby and Senator Underwood, minority leader, and it was said that MT. Colby agreed with the democratic plan of opposition to the Knox resolution. Besides pointing out what he regarded as it's constitutional objections, MT. Colby is said to have stated it was likely to draw criticism from America's associates in the war.
 Senators said they gathered that MT Co'k, was not now informed as to the presidents plan for future action regard l ing the treaty.
 The question of a conference of all | democratic senators on the peace reso- | luti' also was discussed at today's meet l ing. but no decision was reached.

He was few niles east of the Mexican capital yester- sav in command of two regiments Of ted- -rai troops and had severed both railway lines extending to Vera Cruz.
 Another report received here through unnfficial channels was that high mili- tarv officers whom Carranza summoned in council a few days ago, had supple rnented their advice to him to resign with an ultimatum fixing May To as the limit for his tenure of office
 The reported determination of the mil- i-arv group Co force him out of oifice ,vouId go far. officials here believe, to ac- count for the failure that has been met b, Carranza in getting under way any intensive campaign. To date the revolu- f5o, has moved forward without battle and the report mentioning the ultima nm added that his military advisers yge-c determined not to follow course that would inevitably involve the coun- trv in a long struggle filled with dan -er of foreign complications.

first time since the uprising. The refu- sal to accept messages was construed by officials here as an indication that when the revolutionists cut the railway lines between the capital and Vera Cruz they also cut the land wires which parallel one of the roads most of the way.
 Whether Carranza still has access to the cable station at Coatzacoalcos, south of Vera Cruz, was unknown here, but regarded as improbable on account of the presence of rebels in the vicinity of that point on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Sa- lima Cruz, the cable station at the Pacific end of the isthmus, has been reported in possession of the rebels. The only land wires left the government for direct com munication with the United States are those through Eagle Pass and Laredo.
