SENATORS ON
LEAGUE MATTER

Some time ago the Foftnightly Lit
erary club passed resolutions in fav-
or of the League of Nations, copies
being sent to Senator La Toilette ana
Senator Lenroot. They have replied
as follows:
United States Senate.
Washington, ID. c.,
Dec. 8, 1912.
Miss Ethel S. Horton,
Baraboo, Wisconsin.
My dear Madam:
Your resolution of recent dates
adopted by the Fortnightly club Of
Baraboo, has just been received.
| shall bring this matter to the Son
ator's attention at the earliest pos.
sible moment.
Respectfully yours,
r. NJ La Toilette Jr.,,
Secretary.
United States Senate.
Washington, D. c.,
Dec. Is, 1919
Miss Ethel S. Horton,
Baraboo, Wisconsin.
My dear Madam:
I have yours conveying the senti-
ments of the Fortnightly club, with
reference to the peace treaty and the
league Of nations. In reply will say
that it is utterly impossible to Sc
cure ratification of the treaty with,
out reservations, and my own position
is very we'll known-it ought not to
be ratified without reservations.
/ have given this matter months OF
study, and am wholly convinced thai
reservations are necessary for the pro
lection of the interests of the United
States. We have at all times been
ready to listen to compromise propo
sition from President Wilson, but bis
leader in the Senate, Senator Hitch
cock, positively refused to make any
proposition whatever.
/ am very sorry that this has been
made matter of partisanship by the
Democratic side, for if it had not been
the treaty would have been ratified BE
fore Congress adjourned. / trust, how,
ever, before long our Democratic
friends will think of the country frs;
and make proposition for the dispo
sition of this matter.
Very Sincerely,
J. L. Lenroot.

JAUREZ FALLS INTO
THE REBELS HANDS
General Callas Says Every Effort
Made to Avoid American Compli-
cations.

Aqua Prieta, May 3.-(By the Asso.
ciated Press. .)-The revolt of Juare2
| against the Carranza government OF
Mexico today gave the revolutionists
control of the largest State in the Re.
public of Mexico.
Only one small Carranza garrison in
Chihuahua, that of Casas Grandes near
the Sonora boundary, remains loyal to
the central government, according to
a statement issued tonia III by Gen
P. Elias Gales, commander-in- chief OF
the revolutionary armies in the North
west.
The movement of revolutonists
against Casas Grandes already had be-
gun, Gen. Gales said.
The fall Of Juarez had been expect
ed for days at military headquarters
here. Emissares from Sonora had
been sent to Ell Paso to confer with
Mexican officials for turning, the town
and soldiers over to the revdlutionists
the commanders in-chief stated.
According to Gen. Gales the delay
was caused by the desire to have the
revolt of Carranza troops complete
and take the city without fighting.
To Avoid Complications.
eve did this to avoid any complica-
tions with the United States authori-
ties" he said. eve feared that in
battle bullets might fal Into Ameri-
can territory"
More than half the length of the in
ternational boundary between the
United States and Mexico now is held
by the revolutionists, he added, and
conferences are being held through
which they hope to soon have the en-
tire international boundary in their
hands. Thus, Carranza's only com
munication with the outside world
would be by ocean routes.
Gen. Gales announced late. today
that his troops here would move into
Chihuahua Immediately, Casas Grande
will be the first objective. At Casas
Grandes there are between 800 to 500
Carranza troops, it was said, and
among these have been reported evil
dences of pro-revolutionary tendencies
From Casas Grandes the troops of
Callels will be entrained for Juarez.
oSnora troops and those at Juarez
will Immediately move south, Gen.
Gales said, to join other revolution
lists on campaign through the heart
Of Mexico, toward the capital.
Federal Troops Driven Out
Federal troops under Gen. Manuel
w. Gonzales, numbering about 1000
men, stationed at Texcoco, four miles
from the outskirts of Mexico CITY
have been driven out by advance forces
of Gen. Alvaro oregon, candidate for
the Presidency Mexico who fled
rom Mexico City and joined the rev.
olutionary f""ces in the south accord
ing to reports received here today
at military headquarters.
Gen. Obregon himself is reported as
being at Cuautla, Morelos, with the
main body of his troops, preparing for
a concerted drive upon the Mexican
capital from the states of Moreos
and Guerrero.
Governor Adolfo de la Huerta, OF
Sonora, commandcr-in-c of the
liberal constitutionalist army, is en-
route to Aqua Prieta for a conference
with Gen. Gales concerning the mill
tary campaign to be wagcd in Cen
tral Mexico, it was announced. He is
due to arrive here tomorrow.
