FAvoRs WILSON'S PLAN
 OF ADRIATIC SETTLEMENT


 San Reno. April 25 (By the A. P-).- The Adriatic question was brought before the supreme council this afternoon. The Italian premier. Signor Nitti, proposed a settlement that followed generally Presi- dent Wilson's note of Dec g. It varies, however. to include constitution for the buffer state of Plume. to which both the French and British premiers objected on the ground that it limited too, greatly. the character of the new stete.
 Premier Nitti pointed out that the Italian pronosal was almost identical with that of President Wilson. Neyerthe- less, after considerable discussion. both the French and British delegatious said they could not accent #. They declared that Italy should either take President Wilson's plan or abide hY that of the 'nact of London. which gives Plume to the Jugo Slsvs.
 Premier Nittf promised to give his de- cision tomorrow. The general helief is that he will nrefer President. Wilsonis settlement to the pact of London.

 or AEFAIRs IS MEXICO

[ Washington. April 25.-Adyices frons Mexico reaching here today. including some reports to the government. aprJears ed to be in sharp conflict with the sum-
 mary of the situation as to the Sonora revolutionary movement made public in Mexico City today. Army officers who are studying the situation beyong the border were firm in declaring their opinion based on the government advices that the revolution was more serious than the Carranza officials were willing 10 admit
 These officers attached much import ence to the southward drive of General Angel Flores revolutionary forces through the state of Sinaloa. They also saw no probability from. their advices or unofficial reports of an early attack In force by the federal forces on the revolutionary forces in Sonora itself.
 2 This delay in moving against the sonora rebels was regarded as apt to prove costly to the federal leaders. To move the forces available in the state of Chihuahua. through the easily defend- ed passes into Sonora, it was said would be dangerous not only because of the size of the force at hand. but be- cause of the increasing activity of Villa Slong the governments exposed lines of communication. z
 Reports of defections by federal gronns at widely separted points, some of which have been conceded by the Mey- lean City authorities, have been supnie. mented by claims of General salvadore Alvarado, Sonora agent here, that many leaders who have been in 1revoIt fo, years have joined the rebel cause. Nc. table among them was Genevevo Del, ,a D, one of the unconquered Zapatista group, who was said to have furnished the escort which enabled General Ran

MEXICAN FEDERAL TROOPS
 ARE TO 5ENcIRCLE SONORA

1iexieo City April 26.-lBy The A D. , The developments of the last two weeks resulting from the Sonora revo-l Iufionary activities show that tho central government is preparing to encircle the rebel lliods state with a steel ring, cane. while crushing sporadic outbreaks in other parts of the republic with a strong. hand
 A summary of the seditious activi;1v in various sections Of the republic since the northern state broke with the Carr ranzs administration. together with the results of, the governments military measures. has been issued by war de- partment officials two weeks after the open break between the 'Obregonistas and the administration, and is cited as proof that the governments ofiicial state ment characterizing the Sonora out break as merely local is well founded.
 Aside from the Sonora state govern ment, only two state executives have re- pudiated the present administration, these being General Enrique Estrada, in the state of Zacatecas, and Pascual Or tiz Rubio. in the state<of Michoacarl The state legislature in Zacatecas has repudiated the attitude of Estrada and cited him for treason, while the Michoa- {, can Legislature has unseated. Ortiz Ru- bio and named his successor.
 The present whereabouts of General i Alyaro Obregon. the former war minis 1 ter, who is elated for the presidency of Mexico by the Sonora rebels, and Gen eral Benjamin Hill, his campaign lead {! CT, is uncertain.
 1 The general belief is that both rebel leaders, who left Mexico City two weeks l ago upon receipt of reliable advices that
 Sonora had rebelled, fled toward the Pacific coast
 The crushing defeat inflicted April 21 l by General Francisco Murguia's troops ] upon the rebellious forces headed by General Arnulfo Gomez which attacked 1 the, Tuxpam Gil center, eliminated the only danger to the central governriaeni
 outside of Sonora, according to the wal department. Gomez who with aboui I 700 Yaqui Indians joined forces with T General Manuel PelaeE, is said to have
 suffered about 300 casualties, falling tt enter the city and was forced te retrsa to the jungle.
 The attitude assumed by the presi
 dential eapdidates has been the subjec of congrafulatorys editorials by the pa pers supporting the government Botl Ygnacio Bonillas and < General Pabl, Gonzales have denounced Sonora's ac 7 tion and reiterated their loyalty to th, . constituted government
 Whilesgthe belief is that the govern

an Action Congress" :"

Washington. April 25.-(By The 4. P.) sweeping charges that the present con gress has failed the nation with com. pleteness and abandon" are made by samuel Gompers, president ofthe Amer. ican Federation of Labor, in the current issue of. the American Federatin liss.
 America must get rid of it's veto con gress and elect an action congress- he says The no congress must give place to the yes congress-"
 The labor leader asserts that congress mas Jailed on the peace treaty. in recon s4uction, and the high cost of living and that it also has failed us in intelii- gent comprehension of very great dues- tions affecting the lives and welfare of our people,
 The .sins of the present congress- he adds, were commission as well as commission, as there had been almost an eagerness to do the wrong things" the enactment of the railroad bill being cit ed as a shining example,"
 There must be congress which will turn it's face to the task confronting the American citizenship in the true spirit of American institutions" MT. Gompers says. "A constant genius for accom- plishment must replace all ill-considered mania for restriction and coercion
 "Anefica cannot play forever the part of a. peevish child. in international re-
 lations The affairs of the world are
 the concern of the United States. There may be proper limits to which this con eern may go, but there is no longer any such thing as absolute divorcement from what trauspfres elsewhere
 The blind and ,bigoted action of con gress in refusing to deal inteliigently ' with the peace treaty has made it i'm possible for the United States to mani fact s0n our own continent there is the same need. For weeks a senatorial sub committee has been going up and down the country gathering testimony the evi- [ dent purpose of which can be but to in- 1 flame the minds of those who think lit. 1 tie and who take much on faith At De. riods all too frequent the United States is brought to the verge of war witt | Mexico. It is not difficult to see tn, ] evidences of satisfaction on the part oi predatory interests at each of these De I riods, nor is it difficult to discern tn, propaganda which fosters the develop Hnent of them ?. 7 +sa-.-- .
