London, May 20.--Invasion of Per.

have created stir here and the near
eastern position is grave, it is declared
in some quarters. Newspapersask what
the British government is going to do,
in view of its agreement with Persia
which was concluded last year, and II
is remarked that although that con.
vention did not commit Great Britain
to defend Persia, it laid upon this
country a serious moral responsibility.
The view is taken in some quarters
that the boIsheviki will probably try
to push on to Tchersn, there being nei-

enough to resist them in their ad-

PEACE SHOULD BE AN
AMERICAN PEACE
Vice Pres. Marshall Hopes That Wilson

Their Differences on
the Treaty.

indianapolis, Ind, May Equal
and exact justice TO all men as
remedy for unrest was prescribed by
Vice President Marshall in his key
note address to-day before the state
Democratic convention. He also urged
Jail sentences for profiteers and i'm
creased production to relieve the high
cost of living.
II hold that the Democratic doctrine
Of equal and exact justice to all men
and OF special privileges to none will
meet all the angry and irreconciled
views of to-day" said Mr.. Marshall.
The vice president also expressed the
hope that President Wilson and the
Senate would reconcile their differences
over the peace treaty and that it
would be ratified; but said no man
should be read out of the Democratic
party because of his opinion on the
league of nations.
This was, as | understand it, the
vice. president said, IAN American war.
The peace should be an American
peace. The war could not have been
fought successfully as either Demo.
cratic OF Republican war. The peace
can not bring that real peace which
the American people want if it be made
either as Democratic or Republican
peace.
Il still hope that the president and
the Senate will reach an accord upon
such terms as will enable the treaty
to be ratified and de jure peace to be
made with the government OF Ger
many. but as / grant to no man the
right TO read me out of the Democratic
party nor to say TO me that / can not
stand upon its platform, advocate the
election of its candidates and vote for
them, |, myself, will not say to any
man that his views upon the league OF
nations inevitably place him without
the Democratic fold"
