ENDORSES RESERVATIONS
ny WILLIAM j. BRYAN,
Delegate to the sam Frnnclco Con-

vention.
Especially Written for Universal
Scrvice.)
..EW YORK. May 22.-I am In
favor OF the immediate and final
ratification Of the peace treaty with
the reservations already agreed upon
by decisive majority of the entire
Senate and by more than two-thirds
of those favoring ratification. And
needed changes can be made In the
league. 1 shall oppose any and
every attempt to make the reserva-
tons a campaign issue. .~
No party. least of all the Demo
cratic party. can afford TO claim for
minority Of the Senate $he right to
declare the policy OF the nation.
To deny ratification and mako the
treaty Il partisan issue would be a
crime against our own nation, which
has pressing domestic problems to
meet and against the world that
needs our counsel and advice In the
league TO save civilization from the
horrors OF another war.
1 AIN in favor OF electing our rep
rcsentatives to the league by popular
vote and believe that they should be
instructed to favor the Immediate ad-
mission OF Germany to the league,
the immediate reduction OF arma-
ments in oil nations and a rcferen-
dun on war except in case of actual
invasion. World peace is possible
only on the basis OF brotherhood.
Questions for Wilson.
Does President Wilson know that
while the Senate wranGles over the
phrascology of reservations, newly
established republics are threatened
on one side with returning monarchy
and one the other side with the chaos
of Bolshevism?
Does he know OF the unrest in our
own country and the reasons for 1t?
Docs he know that the prolteer,
with an appetite stimulated by glut-
tony. is bleeding our nation white?
Does he know to what extent the
tax eaters are fattening at the ex-
pensc OF the taxpayers?
Does he know that big business is
attempting to transfer the burdens
OF the government from the should.
ers of the rich to the backs OF the
poor?
Does he know that the benehciar-
les Of private monopoly are massing
for combined attack upon the right
to use their own government for
their own protection?
Docs he know that the antagonisms
between capital and labor are grow
ing, and that the failure OF the old
parties to grapple successfully with
this menace to industrial peace is
swelling tn Franks OF socialism?
AssnIis Governor Edwards.
Does he know that the Governor
of his own State is leading n revolt
against an amendment to the Con-
stitution ratified by forty-five States
OF the Union, including every Demo-
cratic State?

RESOLUTE WINS FIRST
PRELIMINARY TRIAL TO

IBy Associated Press. !

NEW HAVEN, CONN, May o.
Resolute beat Vanitie this afternoon
in the first preliminary trial to Sc
lect the defender of Americas cup.
AS the Resolute was crossing the
finish line. n strong puff Of wind
snapped the mast about ten feet
above the deck. Two of the crew
were swept overheard. They were
quickly rescued.
Because Of the accident there prob
ably will be no more races until the
beginning OF the regular trials off
Newport on juno 3. Resolute was
taken in tow by n tug and started
for Bristol, r. l.. where a new mast
will be stepped,
The mast that broke was a new
device. 1t was what is known as a
built-up spar. strips OF wood fas-
tened together with Swiss glue. a war
invention. that was supposed to make
Il mast stronger and lighter than a
solid spar or a hollow steel mast.
1t Is probable that Resolute's next
mast will be Of steel.
The race offered little OF note. The
yachts kept together In n light wind
until they turned the outer mark,
timed as follows:

Especial Cable to Timcs-Dispatch.
PARIS. May 22.-Amcrica's abb
sence from the international meet
ings very seriously handicaps de-
cisive action. no matter how blithe-
~ this may be disavowcd by those
who. in the minds Of many, are held
responsible therefor.
Two great difficulties remain to
be worked out and with regard to
emo of these the American position
is the crux OF the whole thing. The
persistence o. American abstinence
from participation in all plans makes
it difficult and conccivably might
make 1t impossible for the creditors
OF Germany. and especially France,
to meet tho costs OF restoration, for
this will be a task an doubtful as
immense II Germany is not able to
pay.
The solution OF tho difficulty seems
impossible as long as America holds
utterly aloof. for while she continues
In this attitude 1t must be hard to
induce the ncutrals to participate in
the great necessary loans. Little
hope is entertained here that Amer
lea will cooperate in accordance
with tho plan considered absolutely
essential. or that tho comparatively
small European nations. such as Hol-
land. Norway, Sweden, Denmark and
Switzerland. Will be likely to lend
their money for purposes and upon
terms which the vast and incalcula-
bly, rich United States will not accent.
What Is n that will be asked of
tho United States as essential TO the
quick upbuilding OF the devastated
areas and credits which must be re-
stored before Europe can resume her
normal functioning?
International Loan Necessnry.
1t is believed in France that an
international loan sufficiently large
10 assure all necessary reconstruction
and rehabilitation could be arranged
II, and only II. the American govern
mcnt consented to take most OF the
! securities. promoting their sale
among the American people by max
ing 1t Federal loan and exempting
it's bonds from all taxation. Will
Washington do this? Few Americans
in France think 1t a possibility. Yet
IL Is clear that the Franco British
understanding with regard to the
enforcement of the financial clauses
or the peace treaty with Germany
cannot be crystallized into fact SO
long as France is unable to feel nb-
solu;ely certain OF the success Of this
or some similar international loan.

RECALLS HUERTA QUESTION
ny Associated Press1


WASHINGTON. May 22.-Car-
ranza's death and the manner OF 1t
probably will have some important
bearing on the action OF the United
States when the time comes to con-
slider recognition OF the government
which succeeds him. When President
Wilson was refusing to recognize
Huerta, he based his action on the
untimely deaths of Nadero and
SuareZ, and announced n broad gen.
ernl policy to tho effect that no gov
ernment would be recognized which
did not rest on constitutional cleo
lions. and which was based on force
OF arms alone. AS It generally Is
recognized by the United States, tho
death of CarranEa and what respon.
bility the present revolutionists may
share in 1t Is regarded by officials
and diplomats here as certain to be-
come q large element In this gov
ernment's action.
Up to this point the Mexican revo-
luton has been marked by an alb
sence of fighting, and the question OF
whether the revolutionary forces
might be recognized has been left for
later development.
The legal procedure for the estab-
lishment OF government in Mexico
has not been altered by the death OF
the constitutional President. The
Constitution of 1917 provides that In
the event Of tho death or inability
OF the President to govern affairs
after tho first two years of his rule
Congress shall name an inter ad in
terim President. No provision Is
made for direct succession. Such
steps already have been taken in the
calling of Congress in special SEES
sion for May "a when a successor
will be named.

 ISSS4l western corner of Walton County, S~@S Florida. It is about eight miles south east of Valparaiso (formerly Niceville) and twelve miles northeast of Camp Walton.
 Villa Tasso is reached from Pensacola by the Steamer Capt Fritz and other boats ply ing between that port and Choctawhatchee Bay points. This fifty miles trip is one of the finest to be found on any inland waterway. peFuniak Springs and Crestview, both on the L. X N. Railroad, nights run from Birming ham, are each about twenty-five miles distant
 From Crestview regular jitney service is operated to Valparaiso, eighteen miles, over wonderful roads which lead through pie turesque hill country. From Valparaiso the trip can be completed by boat or automobile at your option. Cars always be secured at DeFuniak Springs for the direct trip to Villa Tasso. Regular jitney service several times daily is also maintained between De- Funiak Springs and Florala, Ala, distance of twenty-eight miles. Many prefer that route from Alabama points. The direct auto route from Birmingham is via Montgomery, Andalusia, Florala and either DeFuniak Springs or Crestyiew.

 The beach is unexcelled. Golden sands stretch away so gently that one may wade hundred yards or so before reaching deep water. Children can play there in safety. For those who prefer heavy surf bathing, short run by boat across the bay, a, little walk across the sands of the peninsula, and you have a splendid beach on the open sea at your disposal.
 Quantities of fish are caught in Choctawhatchee Bay Pippins Lake, the most celebrated fishing place in this section, is less than mile from Villa Tasso, and is easily accessible by both land and water. Just outside of East Pass, in the Gulf of Mexico, are wonderful fish ing grounds for such varieties as sea bass, trout, red snapper, pom pano, Spanish mackerel and the in comparable silver tarpon. Choc- tawhatchee River, swarming with fresh water fish, is only few miles to the east
 Villa Tasso is surrounded on three sides by the great Florida Ma
