From the returns so far received
Couzens of Michigan has won the
nomination to succeed himself as
Senator at the primaries held in
that State yesterday. Senator
Couzens' nomination is by no means
distasteful to the Republican lead

during recent months.
Backs National Ticket.
Not long ago Mr.. Couzens publicly
stated that he would support the
Coolidge-Dawes ticket during ~-t the
campaign. There had been some un-
certainty as to whether Mr.. Couzens
might not declare himself for the
La Toilette ticket-and some hone
that he would do so on the part of
the Independent Progressives
But Mr.. Couzens has elected to fol-
low the Republican standard again.
And it is believed that, as a. matter of
fact, his nomination. will tend to
strengthen the Republican national
| ticket in Michigan, particularly in
Wayne County, where Mr.. Couzens
has great strength.
The administration kept it's hands
| off the senatorial race in Michigan
although it is known that Republican
powers here made it clear some time
| ago they would look with favor on
( the nomination Of Mr.. Couzens. The
! large vote polled by Judge Tuttle,
| his closest opponent in the race yes
| terday, is believed, however, to be
due in part to the protest OF some of
| the voters against Mr.. Couzens' for
mer stand against some of the admin

other issues were involved. Mr..

PLAN ARMS FARLEY.
League Delegates Propose World
Wide Conference.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. September 10.-Foliow-
ing out the idea that the League OF
Nations is mechanism Tor noldlhs
successful international conferences
officials already are directing their
thoughts to plans for a great inter-
national gathering for the reduction
of armaments, which, it is expected,
will be held at Geneva within one
year. The officials point out that the
league council has nothing whatever
TO do with the deliberations or the
conclusions of the disarmament con-
ference. once it is started
When the assembly gives the word,
the council will appoint a subcommit-
tee to make necessary arrangements
and issue invitations. The question
of Anne rican participation is causing
increasing interest and comment. The
most general opinion is that the
United States naturally would want
to take part in the naval armament
phase of the conference, although 1t
might be desinclined to participate in
the discussion on reduction of land
armaments This is regarded here as a
peculiarly European question and eS-
pecially so if the limitation of land arm
aments is linked up with pact OF mu-
tual assistance.
L. >. TO be invited.
Although the United States is not
a member of the league, no objection
is seen by the league people to IN
viting the Americans. They point TO
the active American cooperation in
framing the draft conception of in
ternational control of the traffic in
arms as an example, and how the
United States Joined in past league
endeavors to solve the problems con-
nected with the reduction of arma-
ments, and they remark that in this
case the United States is even off,
cially represented in the league COM
missions preparatory work.
The arms traffic convention has
not reached the stage Of an interna-
tional conference, but the disarma-
ment commission is expected soon to
convoke it. Once the arms control
conference is called, it passes out Of
the domain of the league, although
league experts continue to offer their
services. A similar system, it is ex
pected, will be applied to the general
conference on disarmament.

FRANCE TO0FFER
PEACE PLAN TODAY
Opposition Is Expected, But
Majority Backing in
League Is Seen.
by PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News.
GENEVA, September 1O.-The first
concrete step in the effort of the
League of Nations to elaborate q new
charter of world peace will be taken
late today, when Paul Boncourt pre-
sents, in commission, Frances pre-
tentious peace plan, which henceforth
will inevitably form the basis Of dis
cussion.
1t is believed that the support of
the little entente, Belgium and Po-
land to this plan already is assured,
and as the French delegation is by
far the most powerful and most brill
liant France has sent abroad since
the war, Il considerable number of
other delegations may be persuaded
to the French viewpoint. The chief
opposition is expected from Great
Britain, supported by Holland. Italy
and the Scandinavian countries, but
the personnel of the British delega-
tion is as weak as the French Is
strong. and the French have every
advantage.
Frances Supreme Effort.
This indeed is Frances supreme
effort to take the leadership of peace,
and no pains are being spared to in
sure success. The French delegation
is the only one at Geneva which re-
ceived the press daily. Every ac-
credited press writer OF whatever
nationality is welcome. and light re-
freshmeutS are served frequently. The
French views are presented by Sena-
tor Henry de Jouvenel. whose tact,
sympathy. wit, intelligence and
journalistic utility are unique in the
history of postwar press conferences.
General debate in the assembly has
closed, and henceforth all attention
will be fixed on the triple problem or
arbitration, security and dlSarma-
ment
Delegates who are still not cog
infant of the French plan are looking
forward with intense interest to to-
days meeting Of the commission, tor
it is realized that nothing less than
the future of Europe is at stake.

Rapidly AdoDting
II. S. Methods

Hamburg. - Mexico is becoming
rapidly "Americanized," in the opin-
ion of DR.. Karl Sapper, geographer
of the University of Wuerzburg, who
has recently returned from a tour of
Central America, Colombia and Vene-
zuela. The tour was undertaken at
the request of the Geographical soci-
ETY. of Hamburg.
Prof. Sapper had not been in Mexico
since 1902. The outstanding impress
sion gained vas that of the afltra-
tion of United States ideas and meth
DDS into Mexico. While the German,
Spanish, and English contingents in
Mexico seemed to him to be about the
same as in 1902, and the increase in
the French colony was only slight, the
North Americans are playing a much
greater role than formerly.
Despite the hatred of Yankees,
which DR.. Sapper says he found among
a part of the native population, "the
process of Americanization is in full
swing" he declared.
Another change which struck the
German scientist was the spread of
bolshevist ideas throughout Mexico.
