New York, April a. Herbert C.
Hoover who has announced he is
ready 10 accept the Republican
Presidential nomination IL IL is de-
mended Of him, issued a statement
today in which he requested he be
not further embarrassed by sugges-
lions Of some independents that his
name be placed before any other
party, as "a primary sense Of team
work in any party organization
would preclude such possibility"
Mr.. Hoover said in his statement
hc had no great record of partisan
activity and admitted" that his
political activity was confined to
membership in a prominent Repub-
lican club and allegiance 10 the
party over a period Of years. He
added that, because Of his profess
sion Of mining engineer, continual
SHIFT OF residence had prevented
him from exercising as much as he
desired the privilege Of every citi-
zen at the polls.

The decision of the German
government TO send troops TO the
number of forty thousand into the
neutral zone along the east bank Of
the Rhine has aroused much anx-
iety. The Germans claim that the
move was necessary on account OF
the attitude Of the radicals in that
section and the fear of an ex'en-
sion of extreme socialistic doctrines.
The French are in doubt in regard
TO the genuineness Of the need. No
permission was granted by the Al
lies and the move is a violation OF
The treaty.

Another rather sharp note by
President Wilson has made it known
that the continued stay of the
Turks in Constantinople will not
be favorably regarded in America.
There is tremendous courage in
such position at this time when
the interests of England and other
nations were about to yield to the
pressure and let the Turks continue
TO command this important point.
Criticism may be made of the 'act
OF this note, but it must be admit
ted it shows a strong hand and
better adherence to the terms of

The prime minister of Italy,
Nitti, has publicly stated to the
Chamber of Deputies that the de-

That will mean that the seaport

along that line is not yet stated,

II is noteworthy that France
seems disposed TO act with more
independence in the future as she
does not feel that she can rely on
her former allies to secure for her
what she considers her interests.
II was this attitude that led Pres
ident Wilson TO make the state
ment recently, which has been quite
widely criticized, in which he re-
ferred TO the militant policies Of
the present Prime Minister. The
position of France is very diff
cult one indeed. She cannot afford
TO cut loose from her allies and yet
she cannot afford TO expose herself
to danger along the Rhine border.

Another indication of French in
dependence is the policy regarding
Russia. While England and Italy
and even the United States are ad-
vCcating renewal Of trade rela-
tions with Russia so far as possible
without an endorsement of the So
wet form of government, France
threatens to maintain her block
AIDE of trade until Russia gives a
guarantee for the payment of debts
owed to France. France herself
owes a great deal of money, but
she could probably pay this debt
if she could be sure of securing
the money that is owed to her.
