Colonel Gillett has canvassed the
Assembly and found that more than
eighty members are solidly for the $50
per cent beer bill. But, with the fear
of their own local legislation being
killed if they run contrary to Sweets
wishes, it is doubtful if the average
Assemblyman will dare to support Gil
lett.
If the Assemblymen are left to them
selves, according to the hackers of the
Walker-Gillett bill, they will pass the
measure in the lower house, as the
Senate, according TO majority and
minority leaders, will pass it in the
upper body.

No Intervention Planned
Bolivian Government Ex-
presses Regrets for Attack
on Legation at La Paz

WASHINGTON, March 1s. - The
American government to-day asked
Chile, as one Of the great and powerful
nations of South America, to use it's
strong influence to prevent serious diff
iiculties between Bolivia and Peru. The
request was conveyed by Under Secre-
tary Polk to Beltran Matthew, Chilean
Ambassador, at a conference at the
State Department.
The Peruvian Ambassador and the
Bolivian Minister had separate con-
ferences yesterday with Mr.. Polk, and
each was requested to urge upon his
government the seriousness Of the
situation and to express the grave con-
Germ Of the United States.
While no reply to the urgent repre-
sentations made direct to Bolivia by
the State Department has yet been re-
ceived, latest advices from Bolivia in
dicate that the tension resulting from
the attack on the Peruvian Legation at
La Paz has eased and that immediate
danger of serious trouble apparently
was past.
U. S. Intervention Not Indicated
Intervention by the United States be-
tween Peru and Bolivia would create
"a very painful impression in Chile"
Senor Matthew declared, commenting on
reports that Peru lad sought such in
terventiA,. At the Bolivian Legation,
however, it was explained that TIE State
Departments representations to Bo-
Iivia did not indicate American inter
vention in the dispute.
Ambassador Matthew denied flatly
Peruvian charges that Chile had been
implicated in stirring up trouble in
Bolivia against Peru or had furnished
arms and ammunition to the demon
strators in La Paz.
Such reports arc absolutely with
out foundation" he said, land those
Peruvians who were guilty of making
them were misinformed.'

SENATE TO
CONFIRM DC. HEADS
Officials Believe Action Will Be
Taken as Soon as SeS-
sion Begins.

The nominations Of Miss Mabel T..
Boardman and J. Thilman Hendrick
to be District Commissioners will be
sent TO the senate very soon after
that body convenes In December.
This was the opinion of officials
close to the White House and the
District government today when Il
was learned that the recess appoint
ments Of both Miss Boardman and
Mr. Hendrick were for a definite time.
The appointments read that they shall
hold office until the end of the ses-
sion of the Senate, March 4, 1921.
1t was said that if the President
intended to appoint any one else to
the places he would have not specified
the time for which they were to
serve. AS II is when the President
sends the nominations to the Senate,
the present incumbcnts will hold of
Ace until the Senate acts on them.
II the Senate does not act on them
they will serve until March 4.
The general opinion has been that
the President hoped to have his re-
cess appointments confirmed by
changing his procedure of recent
years and appointing Republican
and Democrat. as had been the plan
for many years under Republican
regime. Commissioner HendrlcR is n
Democrat and Miss Boardman a Re-

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Lord North

quoted as stating that he regards
the Imprisonment OF the lord mayor
of Cork "as sad aggrayation of the
grave political error committed In the
exclusion of Archbishop Mannix from
ireland. whatever justification there
may have been for either decision is
outweighed," he continues, by the
deplorable and inevitable con-
sequences OF alternating Irish feeling
at a time when reconciliation OF the
English and Irish peoples on a mu-
tually acceptable basis Is of the most
paramount Importance.
"Iiistory shows abundantly that
the bloodiest and the most futile
wars have been based on differences

British government is rendering such

Issues "Hints for Democratic
Speakers"-expounds
League Merits.

President Wilson. In his letter TO
the Democratic national committee
inclosing his initial check for the
campaign fund, makes it plain that
his purpose as well as his purse has
as its objective the realization OF his
hopes for Americas participation ir
the League of Nations.
HINTS FOR SPEAKERS
There Is no doubt whatever that
the President has entered the cam.
paign determined to do all in his
power TO effect a favorable vote on
the solemn referendum" anent the
league, which vote, in January last, he
declared would voice in no uncertain
terms demand for American partici.

ment.
In the Hints for Democratic Speak
ers." which have been prepa red at the
White House, the opening sentence
gives a clue to the Presidents prob
able line of thought
There is too much discussion on the
League OF Nations in the abstract. too
little discussion of IL as a living, vital
thing In the affairs OF the world" says
the prelude of the White House docu-
ment. What is it, 1t is an associa-
tion OF the free nations Of the world,
the object of which is freely to dis
cuss and investigate the causes of
war before nations actually go TO
war"
Further Indications OF the line of
thought the President will pursue in
his advocacy of approval OF Amer
Iica's entrance into the league, to-
gether with a majority of the civilized
nations, is found in other expressions
in the hints for speakers"
II confidently predict that there is
not an aggressive people In the world
who would dare bring a wrongful pur-
pose to that jury" Uhe Council OF the
League OF Nations). is one OF the
White House statements.
TEACHINGS OF GALILEAN.
1t the league is a modern at
tempt to prevent war by discussion in
the open and not behind closed doors.
is another observation.
"It is the substitution OF the teach =
ings of the Galilean for the teaching
of Nietzche and Treitschke and the
German general staff" said another
or the hints.
The principle underlying the
League of Nations" says another
paragraph. sis the essence OF Chris
tianity; II is the embodiment OF the
underlying principle of the Ten Com
msndments; II is the gospel OF Christ
as opposed to the iniquity of Moloch." "
In conclusion. the White House
viewpoint Is expressed as follows. in
the hints to speakers"
The fact of the matter is that there
is no choice-it is either the League
of Nations or another great war, per
haps the final war OF all civilization.
Is this experiment worth while? Is
It worth a trial?"
This, having emanated from the
White House, may be expected TO bs
the line of argument President Will
son will pursue in his personal efforts
on behalf of the league.
