SEN, WATSON
 SOUNDS KEYNOTE
Outlines Five Principles on Which Contest Should
 Be Waged.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 12-Sound- ing the keynote for the Republican campaign in Indiana, Senator Wat son, as temporary chairman of the party's state convention today out lined five of the principles on which he said the contest should be waged.
 The senator put foremost in his list the restoration of a Republican form of government to the coun- try.
 Tightening of the burden of feder- al taxation was the second task the Republican party should assume, Senator Watson said, specifying the repeal of the excess profits levy in this connection.
 We must either destroy Bolshev- ism or it will destroy us,'' he said in setting forth the third point. Extreme radicalisn1, he asserted, had stealth : fly inrenched itself in public places and these enemies of our government are today filling many of the most prominent positions in our govern mept-
 Touching the high cost of living Senator Watson favored a Republi. can statement that work is the one remedy, toll is the one panacea, the steadfast cooperation of capital ana i labor forging ahead to the fixed goa. of production" while for his fourtt point he urged the deflation of cur. rency.

HITCHCOCK ATTACKS
 PEACE RESOLUTION

Washington, May 17Pemocratic attack upon the Republican peace resolution was launched today by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ad minStratfon spokesman, who deelar- ed in addressing the senate that the measure was futile and inconsistent and inin1ica1 to the treaty of Yer saiHes.
 The mountain has labored and brought forth a mouse, he said 'sT'he peace resolution is before US. It is not exactly stiHiborn, but it's feeble character suggests a. disturbed gesta- ton and a dubious future
 Great expectations for an act of congress that would force a. peace settlement are to be disappointed. High hopes that a resolution by con greSs could be made to perform the functions of a peace treaty are aban- doned. Instead of a. peace settlement to be forced by a resolution of man datory requirements as the price of severing commercial relations, we are merely to repeal the war declaration, declare the war at an end and invite tine president to negotiate a separate peace"
 Mir Hitchcock cited three similar resolutions which he said had been sponsored since last November by
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, and Senator Knox ] of Pennsylvania, author of the pend ing resolution. The latter, Mir. Hitchcock said, is the fifth peace ] resolution offered by the Republican l leadership.

President Wilson's message to Sims follows:
 Prom the Beginning of the war I have been greatly surprised at the failure of the British Admiralty to use Great .BTittin's great naval su- periority in an effective way. In the presence of the present submarine emergency they are helpless to the point of panic.
 Every plan we suggest they reject
 for some reason of prudence In my view this is not time for prudence but for sboldness even at the cost Of great losses. Tn most of your despahches you have quite properly advised us of the sort of aid and cooperation desired from us by the Admiralty. The tTou- bIe is that their plans and methods do not seem to US effbcacioas.
