MARSHALL HAS
NO ASPIRATIONS

NEW YORK. Vice President
Marshall today compared himself as
a man driving flivver along a good
road and having pleasant sailing to
the man who turned his automobile
into swamp in a search for some
thing better than he had. This was
by way of emphasizing his declara-
tion that he is not candidate for
president or the presidential nomi-
nation.
81 knew all the older Indiana
statesmen and politicians, said the
vice president. II know that Fair
banks and Hendricks died with brok-
en- hearts because they sought and
did not achieve the presidency. Har-
rison because his party would not
give him a nomination for second
term, died in the belief that repub-
lies are ungrateful.
ut is easy for man to persuade
himself that the people are calling
him, but when he gets to the con-
vention he is apt to find that the
delegates have not heard the CALL"

ITALIAN PREMIER
FAVORS RUSSIA
Urges Revival of Re.
lations With
Soviet
BY FRANCISCO XAVIER NITTI
Premier of Italy

Especial to Universal Service)
SAN REMO.-Italy's foreign pol
icy continues to be founded upon the
noblest principles of humanity and
democracy.
That is why Italy recommends the
immediate revival of commercial re-
lations with Russia. My policy is to
encourage Italians to visit Russia
in order personally to ascertain the
situation in the soviet republic.
Italy does not wish to interfere
in the internal affairs of foreign
countries, but desires Russia to be-
come the central European market
of raw materials. Our kind feelings
toward Russia are not inspired by
selfish motives, for it is well known
that Russia is undergoing a difficult
time and probably will be unable to
contribute to any extent toward ma
terially helping Europe to get back
on it's feet. For this reason, our
wish to help Russia is all the more
impartial and compelling.

MESSAGE FROM
MARS WAYLAID

GAMER RANCH, CEDAR CREEK,
Neb.-Dr. Frederick L. Millener and
Harvey Gamer, electrical experts,
failed in their efforts to catch sig
nal from Mars.
Waiting tensely beside what is
probably the largest wireless appara-
tus ever constructed, Gamer listened
throughout the night and far into
the early hours of the morning for
a sound never yet heard by man, and
which, If received, would carry man s
domain across interstellar space to
the legendary fields of Mars.
Time and time again DR.. Millener
reduced the wave lengths of the
great machine so that stations Of the
shorter distance, such as the Hawai-
ian islands, Berlin, South America
and England could be used to test
the wires. The code came flowing in
clear and metallic. Then, as the long
wave inductance, the 20,O00-meter
coupler and the 81,000-foot aerial
we're swung into the current and the
wave gradually heightened, all the
notes of the scale sounded higher
until the highest tone passed beyond
hearing and above the range of
earthly wireless. At this point the
message anticipated by Marconi
might be heard.
Yet no sound came except the
broken clatter of static disturbances,
which crashed along the line during
the earlier hours of the night.
Toward morning these sounds
ceased and no message came through
the nickelplated receivers.
AS dawn broke the seance ended
and DR.. Millener and Gamer gave
over their first effort to pierce the
infinite. Re

10y UNIVERSAL SeFVICeJ
Observation-Disclosures OF
the report that Japan had declared
war on Russia, is momentarily ex-
pected at the state department. Al
tho there is no confirmation here yet
Of the Universal Service dispatch
stating that war had already been
declared, officials generally credited
it. They let it be known that such
IA development had been considered
highly probable for some time.
The declaration of war would have
as its most potential factor of in
terest to all countries the fact that
the Japanese have the Anglo agree
ment calling for military assistance
to Japan in certain contingencies,
still in force.
In substance, this agreement
forces Great Britain to come to the
assistance of Japan if the latter in
war is attacked by another power,
and such an attack in view of the
many new elements on the western
Russian frontier is regarded as not
improba BILE.
Japan, if she has declared war on
Russia, is expected to s've notice of
a blockade Of Russia by land and
Sea, and this wo ollt call foi state
ment of neutrality or otherwise from
all the old and new countries of the
world. Such a blockade would pu9
an end practically to the efforts of
the United States and England which
have begun at Washington, to re-
open trade with Russia. In the
event that Great Britain were drawn
into the war, that fact would renew
old issues between the United States
and Great Britain as to the rights of
neutral commerce. Japan naturally
would keep tight blockade of Pa
cific European ports of Russia, while
England would dominate the Baltic
and stop commerce with Russia as in
1914, should the United States de-
eide to proclaim it's neutrality.

WILL DISCUSS
WATERWAY PLAN

BOISE-The International joint
commission which is looking into the
plan to build waterway to the At
lantic ocean from the Great lakes,
will hold hearing in Boise on June
5 and 6, the idaho public utilities
commission has been advised, and all
interested parties are asked to at
tend. In a notice the commission
has issued calling attention to the
hearing, the benefits this state will
derive from such a waterway are
outlined. They include the follow
ing:
Reduce the actual mileage from
lake ports to northern Europe by
more than 600 miles; extend to all
regions between the Rocky noun
tains and the Alleghenies the bene-
fit OF the cheaper transportation in
the world; give ocean vessels easy
access to lake ports; let the lake
fleet move freely between inland and
coastal waters; offer unlimited car
rying capacity to move the crops
when the rush comes; relieve east
ern roads of the congestion that
checks them every year during the
crop movement; put the Rocky
mountain slope as near the sea as
Kentucky and Tennessee are now;
give western products an unobstruct-
ed way to the market"
It Is also contended that heavy
freight charges now fastened on the
west will be largely eliminated. It
is proposed to build waterway
via the st. Lawrence river and the
Welland canal to the lakes.

LAUNCHES ATTACK
Henry T. Rainey Makes
Bitter Speech
Against Rich
VI {By Universal Seryice)

WASHINGTON. - Millio n ari1
members controlling the republican
steering committee Of the house weri
charged Thursday with attempting
to force. thru legislation to raise
revenue for a soldier bonus in sucf
form as to protect the rich and place
the burden on the poor.
The charge was made in a svehe
ment speech by Representative
Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, Demo
crat member of the ways and means
committee, which is framing the sol
dier aid bill. He is the leader or
the minority side in the move for 9
retroactive tax on swollen war for.
tunes to raise the bonus revenue.
you are going to yield to Wall
street and the rich of the country
and impose the tax they propose. .
Mr.. Rainey declared, "and once this
sales tax is composed, the country
will never get rid of it, because the
rich want to escape taxation on the
immense war fortunes they are now
enjoying"
"Oh, you cannot help it. In times
such as this the cloven hoof must ap-
pear as it always has appeared and
always will.
I'VE propose to tax the war profits
to raise the revenue to pay the sol
diers bonus. But under your sales
tax plan, the boys and their families
and their friends would pay one
fourth of the cost of the bonus. In
your manifest desire to protect the
war fortunes of the rich, you pro-
pose to give the soldiers bonus
with one hand and with the other
take away 25 per cent of it.
Mr.. Rainey said the Republican
plan was to prevent by parliament
tary manouver any consideration OF
amendments providing for tax
on war fortunes. He denounced this
plan as an attempt to make par
tisan issue Of the bonus question,
which would put the Republicans in
the position of offering to buy SOL
dier votes with bonus money.

VIEW REVOLT
With ANXIETY
Disturbance in Oil
Region Causes
Alarm
(By Universal Service)

WASHINGTON. - The breaking
out fthe Mexican revolution in the
1uxpan district, which is a part OF
the oil region, has caused the Unit.
ed States and other nations having
interests there to view the revolution
with concern.
Great Britain and the United
States have enormous interests in
the oil region and have usually act
ed together to keep the wells going
even while civil war was raging in
that territory.
The plan of the United States has
heretofore been to have belligerents
to avoid the oil territory as actual
fighting grounds.
Officials said today, however, that
1t was so manifestly in the interest
of Obregon and the revolutionists
to create no situation that would
cause inquiries that he and his
troops, 5000 or 1000 of whom are
in the district, will carefully avoid
pFCClplIdIluS dH ISSUE.
Reports to the state department
today were not given out, but they
were described as showing the in
crease of the "ferment" in Mexico.
There is understood to be strict cen
sorship at Mexico City, but this
does not prevent the sending Of code
messages to the state department
and the receipt Of news via Monte
rey and the points where Carranza
is unable to maintain himself much
less censorship.
A review of the reports so far
show the revolutionists as being in
absolute control in Sonora and 81
naloa; Carranza's forces going over
to the rebels in the states of Mich
cacan, Morelos, Guerrero, Nuevo
Leon and Chihuahua, with revolu-
tionary troops operating on the Of
fensive in the Tuxpan-Tampico dis
trict.
The detection of the Carranza
troops near Mexico City is the most
favorable sign for the revolution
lists.
Such strides are being made by
the new party that it is not improb-
able that the question Of its recog-
milton, at least as de facto in the
states they absolutely control, will
soon be put up to the state depart.
