OFFICIALS ISSUE
MEMORIAL MESSAGE
Secretaries Baker and Daniels
Comply with Annual
Customs.
By Associated Press:

By Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Memo-
rial day messages were made public
tonight by Secretaries Baker and
Daniels, following the custom Of the
war and navy departments.
The tribute Of flowers which to-
day are placed on the graves Of our
soldiers are the outward emblem of
deep and solemn emotion which
fills the entire nation" Mr.. Baker
said. I'VE shall have in our minds
the virtues Of those TO whose mem
DRY Memorial day was originally set
apart, and we will think with fresh
pride and affection Of the American
soldiers of the world war. who in
their youth and strength, carried
America overseas and showed the old
world the fruits of institutions which
our fathers established, and our SOL
diers in all generations have victori-
ously defended. The heart of the
nation will, too. be filed with sym
pathy as it tries to spare the per-
sonal burden Of those whose family
ties were broken by the sacrifices of
the war"
Daniels Message.
THE country that forgets its de-
tenders does not deserve a citizen
ship courageous enough to place
their lives in jeopardy TO defend it.
Secretary Daniels said. The valOr
Of the youths of our day to the num-
Der of four million, who were ready
in the world war to die for Amer
lea, teaches us that the breed Of
heroes has not played out. There
are as many Nathan Hales in every
he fn6ax n rhnrn
in the Revolution. This knowledge
gives higher appreciation of the sol
diers and sailors in whose honor we
celebrate Memorial day. We think
more of their sacrifice, even unto
death. than before this generation
had experienced what war means.
AS we honor the dead heroes today,
let the people OF the republic re
dedicate themselves TO a love Of
freedom that knows no creed nor
race nor cline nor ocean boundary.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Pres't
wilson's request that congress au-
thorize mandate over Armenia
came under fire from both demo-
Gratis and republicans today when
the resolution to deny such an au-
thorization was brought up in the
senate.
From the democratic side. how
ever, came a proposal 10 soften the
resolution by adding a provision eX-
tending American aid in the eco
nomic upbuilding Of the new eastern
republic. The plan was taken under
Amusement by the republican lead
ers. In order that senators might
have an opportunity TO study ii, an
agreement was made TO defer until
Monday any attempt 10 set date for
a vote.
Hitchcock's Proposal.
Under the suggested provision
which was presented by Sen. Hitch
cock Of Nebraska, the administra
ton leader in the treaty fight Joint
commission OF Americans and Ar
menians would be authorized TO su-
pervise the sale here of S5O,OOO,OOO
in Armenian bonds. The proceeds
would go to the purchase of railroad
and agricultural materials and sim
liar equipment and to the establish
ment of an Armenian banking sys-
TEN.
In urging his proposal. Sen. Hitch
cock said he felt that the resolution
as reported by the foreign relations
committee would have the effect Of
"discouraging'' the Armenian people.
Sen. Lodge of Massa chusetts. the re-
publican leader, replied that pro
posals to aid Armenia would be re-
ceived with much sympathy on his
side of the chamber, but added that
there were many ways in which aid
could be extended.
Hold Brief Discussion.
There was only a brief discussion
Of the merits OF the president re-
quest, which Sen. Hitchcock said he
did not intend TO support
Several other democratic senators
also indicated their disapproval. but
Sen. Williams, democrat, Mississippi.
declared the United States would be
unfaithful TO it's responsibilities If II
declined to take the mandate.
Sens. Jones of New Mexico and
Robinson of Arkansas, democrats,
said the resolution involved an i'm
portant question and a vote should
not be taken without giving IL seri-
Gus consideration. The former
called attention to the fact that the
committee had presented no written
report.
Sen. Lodge reported that the mat

Gov. Allen Will Make Nomi

According to Plans.

By Associated Press:
CHICAGO, May 20.-Delegates 10
the republican national convention
from all sections of the country
hocked into Chicago today. A ma
jority Of the early arrivals we're from
southern states, and a large por-
ton were negroes contesting for
seats in the convention from states
where the race question has been
an issue in the party's organization.
The national committees hearing on
LIZ contests will start on Monday,
and the arrivals buttOn-holed mem
bers of the party's governing body
at every opportunity to present al
| vance arguments for their claims
/ that the campaign managers for the
announced presidential aspirant5
were perfecting their plans for the
actual work in the convention.
TO Make Speeches.
Shortly after Wood headquarters
announced that Gov. Henry j. Allen
| of Kansas, had been selected to
make the principal nominating
speech for Mai. Cen. Leonard Wood,
it was announced that George IL.
Walker Of Seattle had been chosen
TO perform q similar office for sen.
Miles POindeXter of Washington.
These announcements completed the
list Of the presidential candidates,
except LoWden and Hoover.
Clarence y. Miller, acting secre-
tary Of the national committee was
busy throughout the day arranging
the rooms and offices of the com
mittee at the coliseum annex, in
anticipation OF their active use on
Monday. He also was concerned in
seeing that the business of the COM
mittee was in shape for VIII H.
Hays, chairman OF the committee,
who will arrive from the east to-
morrow. Mr.. Hays fist official act
will be to entertain the newspaper
correspondents at a luncheon. Aft
er this function he will discuss with
those members OF the committee
who may be here the selection of a
permanent chairman for the con-
Vention.
Several Proxies.
Not all members of the committed
will be here for the opening Of the
contest hearings. Several proxies
have been arranged for, but the ex-
act number probably will not be
/ known until the committee formally
| assemblies. One of the absentees will
