|OuTLooK At SAN FRANCISCO
CONVENTION, MeADoo. LEcATEE

Washington, d. c. Especial Cor
respondence)-The Republican Pub
licity association. today gave out the
following statement from its Wash
ington hearquarters:
"The outlook is. that the nominee OF
the San Francisco convention will be
the presidents son-in-law and resid-
uary political legatee. the Hon. w. G.
McAdoo. Present indications are
that the administration controls a
majority of the delegates to the San
Francisco convention and will be able
to dictate the nomination. Not only
because OF personal relationship, but
because Mr.. McAdoo's policies are in
harmony with those OF President VIII
son it may be expected that the die
tator of the Democratic party will
choose that gentleman as the next
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency.
From the very beginning Of his ad
mfnistration as secretary Of the
treasury in President Wilson's cabi-
net, Mr.. McAdoo demonstrated appro-
val of Wilsonian methods. Before he
had been in office a month he issued
what was known as a gag order to
the assistant secretaries Of the treas
ury, instructing that all news be Civ.
en- out by him and him alone. This
was a reversal of the policy OF former
secretaries, who had such confidence
m their assistants as to entrust to
them the authority to give out infor-
nation regarding the business coming
Immediately under their charge. This
gag order aroused such widespread
protest that Mr.. McAdoo was com.
pelled to revoke II within a week, al
though he continued to withhold from
them the authority to disclose more
important items of Information. The
policy Of this administration said Mr..
McAdoo. rs pitiless publicity using
q term made famous during the 1912
campaign by Mr.. Wilson himself Mr..
McAdoo continued with the assertion
that he is in full sympathy with that
policy, but in executing It he is AMI
mated solely by desire to prevent
the improper giving out OF informa-
ton concerning the business OF the
department and to secure the publica-
ton only Of such legitimate and au-
thentic Information az will conserve
and protect the public interests
1T is notorious that President VIII
sons boasted policy Of pitiless pub.
licity was abandoned the moment he
took the oath Of office. Neither in
domestic affairs, nor in foreign af-
fairs has he ever taken the country
fully into his confidence. Neither has
he been even reasonably frank in his
dealings with the congress concerning
public affairs with which that body.

MORE LAND IS
TO Be TITLED
SIGNS OF LARGER ACREAGE IN
DAKOTA THIS YEAR.

Pierre, Feb. 17.-If tractor sales
are an indication of what is going to
be done in the way of tearing up
prairie sod in the section of the state
west of the Missouri river the coming
season, there will be a big increase
in the acreage of cultivated land.
Every section shows heavy demand
for tractors, and along with the de-
mand come general statements on the
part of the buyers that are going to
increase crop acreage.
The cattle situation, which has in
past years taken a discouraging posi-
tion in regard to cultivation of the
country in which they ranged, is now
on the other tack. They are only
skinning through this winter by the
grace of open weather, and are MOI
yet over their scare as to possibili-
ties If there should be couple oi
weeks of snow covered prairie yet
The result that the stock raisers art
getting ready to put in a large acre
age of forage crops and be in shape
to feel easier in the future il there
happen to be several weeks with the
prairie covered too deep with snow
for grazing.

CANADA READY TO
REFUSE TREATY
IF VOTING POWER is CHANGED
UNDER LENROOT RESER-
WALTON.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 17.-Canada
is unofficially on record as opposed
to ratification of the League of Ma
tions pact if the United States adopts
the Lenroot reservation to the peace
treaty.
Speaking at mass meeting of war
veterans last night, N. w. Rowell,
president of the privy council and act
ing secretary of state for external af-
fairs, said:
"If the United States Senate
should adopt the Lenroot reservation
either in its original form or amend
ed as now suggested, and should also
adopt the preamble as proposed, Can
ada, as one of the nations of the Brit
ish empire and party to the treaty
would be called upon to decide what
action she should take under these
conditions. there can be no possible
doubt what Canada's decision would
be. She cannot and will not consent
to any impairment of her status and
voting rights under the treaty.
Therefore when final action is
taken by the government of the Unit
ed States if the ratification can only
become effective on Canada's assent,
the ratification cannot go into effect,
so far as Canada is concerned, as
Canada will not give that assent"

HOLLAND WILLING TO MMURE
HIM AT CASTLE DOORN.

The Hague, Feb. 1.-THE latest
Allied note to Holland with regard to
extradition of the former German en-
peror reverses the original demand
for his surrender and only asks his
internment with the suggestion that
the former monarch be sent, perhaps,
to one of the Dutch islands in the
East Indies.
The Dutch government has already
determined to reply with an offer ac-
tually to intern Wilhelm at Doom,
near where the former kaiser is now
living on an estate of Count Bene-
timex, according to informa tion from
authoritative sources.
Holland would accept the full re-
sponsibility of preventing him from
endangering the peace of the world
establishing a guard over him and a
strict censorship.
Holland, it is pointed out in diplo-
matte quarters, is anxious to meet
any request of the Allies which is
compatible with her own dignity and
does not conflict with the nations
laws and traditions of long standing.
More than anything else, as far as
can be learned, she desires to bring
to close the issue over the presence
of the former emperor which has
been thorn in her side since the
Hohenzollerns sought refuge here in
1918.
That the former ruler is undoubt-
edly willing to spend the rest of his
life in Doom is the belief in official
circles, where it is also believed that
the Allies will accept the proposal to
place upon Hollands shoulders the
responsibility for keeping him there.
They point to Doom as being a par
ticularly advantageous place to in
tern him, as the village is not near
any large city and the house which
the former emperor has bought is so
placed as to be easily guarded and il
is somewhat farther from the Ger
man frontier than Amerongen, wherc
the former emperor is now living.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
0VFRTAKEN BY STORM
MAC VEAGH, JR., YALE
STUDENT, DIES FROM COLD
AND EXPOSURE.

Dublin, N. H., Feb. 17.-Charles
MacVeagh, Jr., of New York, a grad
uate student at Princeton and son of
the counsel for the United States
Steel corporation, died of exposure on
Mt. Mandanock during an attempted
snowshoe trip to the summit in COM
pany with Charlton Reynders of New
York, senior at Harvard
The young men started on their
trip in excellent weather, but soon a
binding snowstorm and high winds
developed, making it impossible for
them to reach the summit. When a
half mile from the top they aban-
doned the attempt and started the re-
turn journey. At that time ii was
dusk, and soon they lost their way
in the growing darkness and driving
storm. Moreover, deceived by the
mild, clear weather when they start
ed, they were thinly clad. without
overcoats, hats or gloves.
MacVeagh soon showed signs of ex-
haustion, falling several times. Reyn-
ders, who was also suffering from en-
haustion, protected his companion as
best he could. but Macveagh died.
