early in the session after Represen- tative Knight, Republican of Ohio, had attacked the bill. The Ohio mem Der announced he voted against the bill because of the contemplated ex- penditure of ssO 100000 for new bat tleships, the general need of econ omy and the alleged questionable de- mands of capital ships in modern warfare.
 Two amendments. calculated to bring the disarmament question squarely before the house were ruled out on points of order, and then Con- molly again stepped to the front with a revival of the Brooks proposal. It stood up and held its own against point of order. as happened last session. and Kelly was pressing for a vote and final passage of the bill when he was persuaded to permit de- bate to continue without drastic re- striction as to limiting time, along with arguments.

GERMANY SUBMITS PROPOSALS 10 HARDING
EARTH WILL STAGE LONG RACE WITH COMET AND ATTEMPT TO
 TRIP UP RIVAL DURING MATCH

lation, was in the constellation Hercules, Vas approximately ST. million miles from the earth, is due to make a flying visit to the constellations Lyra, Cyngus and Pisces before approaching the earth. It's nearest approach will be 132 of an astronomical unit, or 12,oO0,O00 miles, on June '. and shortly thereafter the race will begin.
 At the greatest brilliancy ob- servable from the earth the com ct will be of the eighth or ninth magnitude. Nothing greater than the sixth magnitude can be ob- served by the naked eye so the world at large will see nothing of the visitor until the tail-flipping episode, on June 27. However, the earth's attraction for the com ct may be so great that new cal culations may be necessary when the race gets under way.
 Any potential prophecies that the comet will do great damage to the earth are out of order, the' observatory states. On the other hand. the meteoric shower. if it develops as anticipated. will prove to be harmless, inspiring spectacle.

 Trial Of Mexicans NACO MAN TESTIFIES Is Defendants Claim They Were Forced By Villa
 To Join His Army

DENYING, \. M., April 26.--"M Maten los Gringoes," Viva Villa, ("Kill the Gringoes"D (''Long live villa") were the shouts of the Mexican soldiers who raided the American town of Columbus, N M., in March, 1916, ac- cording to testimony of three witness es in the district court here this aft ernoon at the trial of the 16 alleged members of Villas band. charged with murder in connection with the raid.
 Selection of the jury ended sud denly at 2:30 this morning at time when it appeared improbable that a jury could be obtained in this county Counsel for the defense and state reached an agreement after more than 50 men had been. examined and rejected and subsequent examinations were less strenuous. Tn all 5S were examined before the jury box was fill ed. Presentation of testimony began immediately.
 Evidence showing that the raid on Columbus was by Villista soldiers, that American civilians were shot down, stores .robbed and burned, women brutally treated and rings stripped from the hands of young girls was given at the afternoon ses- sion, There was no cross examina- tion of the state witnesses except by the defense attorney. R. F. Hamilton, of Deming, to point out the fact that none of the Is men on trial had been seen shooting during the raid.
 T. A. Hulzy, of Naco, Ariz., town marshal at Columbus at the time of the raid. was the first witness, and de- scribed the raid as he saw it from a hole he had dug in his yard in which to plant a tree but which served to protect him from flying bullets during the raid. He saw one American shot down and after the Mexicans had withdrawn, found the body of w. T. Ritchie, proprietor of Columbus ho- tel, Tor whose murder the 16Nprison- CTS are being tried.
 Mrs. w. T. Ritchie, widow of the murdered man, described how the in- vaders had battered down the doors of their hotel and entered every room. Her husband was torn from her side

BERKELEY. calif.. April %

BERKELEY. Calif., April 26.- For month this summer the earth will engage in q race with the periodic comet Pons-Win- necke and because it will havee no chance to win, it will endeav- or, through its astral influences, to "trip up" its gaseous rival, ac- cording to report made public today by the observatory of the University of California. The earth will not get into the race until the comet has a lead of be- tween 12,OO0,000 and 10000, 900 miles, but then it will put every thing it has" into it's test with the comet
 The tripping up. process or perturbations caused by the earth influence will pull the comet away from it's course somewhat, but it will continue to plunge along the cosmic. speedway at an undiminished pace. It will cap its supremacy finally when, on June 27,.it Hips its tail so hard against its terrestrial rival that the i'm pact will send out sparks. These will go down in the record as meteoric shower.

New Proposals, ,Received In Washington, Talked
 Over With Diplomats HUGHES Us SILENT Secretary Confers During Day With All Represen-
 tatives Of Entente

WASHINGTON. April 26 (By the Associated Press)-Events here to- day indicated clearly that the United States. in replying to Germany's counter proposals on reparat,ons, would be guided almost. if not wholly by the decisions of the allied gov ernments as to whether the new prop ositions put forward by Berlin were of such nature as to form the basis for further negotiations.
 Secretary Hughes. conferred late today with each of the allied diplo- matic representatives, discussing with them briefly the German com munication, which was received ear ly in the day from American Com missioner Dresel at Berlin. The for eien envoys immediately reported to their governments by cable and it was understood that the fraging of a reply to Germany would await the
 
 As the allied governments were be- lieved 10 be 'n possession of the text of the German proposals. which was made nublic today at Berlin, it was not thought that a reply would be long delayed It was suggested, how ever, that exchanges between Paris fnd Losdon might be necessary be- fore a final decision was reached.
 If Secretary Hughes received from the foreign diplomats any indication of the views of their, governments with regard to the counter proposi- tions the fact was not disclosed. nor YVES there any intimation as to how American government officials view ed them. There was some evidence, however. that the statement contain ed in press dispatches from Paris that the German offer was believed to be unacceptable to France, caused little. it any surprise.
 Discussion of the German memor- andum is understood to have occu- pied much of a two hours session today of President Hardine's cabinet.
 
 What happened in the cabinet room, however remained carefully guard ed secret.
 After returning to the state depart nent, Secretary Hughes sent invita- tions to the allied diplomats to visit him for a discussion of the German proposals. These invitations went out to the representatives not only of Great Britain and France. but also of Beleium. Italy and Japan
 Baron de Marchlenne. the Belgian arrhessador was amonT the. first to call on the secretary. Each envoy was received separately and each conferred briefly, the series of visits being concluded within a. little more than m hour.

dren from Japanese boy" and
Mr.. Hyuga gave the correspond
ent the following letter:
Il am glad to hear from papa
you now have a very good and
kind president. Papa says your
new president can really do lots
of good things for the world.
"'Before / saw the Polish or
phans / liked to see big guns and
battleships. But when hundreds
of Polish children came to Japan
from Siberia, l went to see them,
as they stayed in the Red Cross
hospital near my house. They
looked very unhappy, very thin
and dirty and had no boots and
proper clothes. OF course our peo-
pie gave them all things. they
wanted and they are all right
now.
Papa told me t-.eir fathers
were killed by guns and battle
ships and that their mothers died
of sickness because they had no
doctors and medicine.
Since then, l do not like guns
and battleships any more and /
chucked all my toy guns ana tin
gunboats away. l think you will
do the same if you only saw these
Polish children yourself.
Papa told me our people are
building very big battleships, I
asked him why they make them
now that the kaiser is no more.
But here papa cannot make me
understand. Only he says Amer
lea started building them and ia
pan must do the same. | think this
is very foolish, as the guns some
time goes off by mistake and
hurts lots of people. Is it not bet
ter not to have them built?
IL you think just as do, will
you ask all the boys of your class
If they think the same way and
If they do, will you tell your
mama that you do not want new
battleships? Then your mama will
talk to your president and he will
stop it all, and Japan will help,
too, and the whole world will be
lovely and peaceful"
