NATIONALISTS OPPOSE PLAN.

BERLIN, June 10 [R.-The COM
ment in the Berlin morning papers on
the security pact notes indicates that
the German government will have the
greatest difficulty in persuading its
own friends. the German Nationalists,
of the advisability of continuing the
negotiations.
The Nationalist organs are unan-
imous in describing Frances sugges-
tionS as impossible.
The Deutsche Zeitung demands the
retirement of Foreign Minister Strese-
mann.
The organs of the former so-called
Weimer coalition. CentriSts, Demo-
cratic and Socialist groups, while in
sisting that many points must be
cleared up and that the French sug-
gestions are open to numerous objec-
tions, nevertheless say the note con-
stitutes a forward step.
The Democratic Tageblatt, however,
expresses pessimism.

Senator La Follette's sons, probably
Robert La Toilette. jr.
If Gov. Blaine calls a special election
for next Fall, with the primaries for
nominations a few weeks in advance, a
real battle is promised. The regular
Republican organization, headed by the
national committee, has been insistent
that control of the Wisconsin Repub-
lican organization be wrested from the
La Toilette machine. II may be ex-
pected that in the senatorial fight des-
perate efforts will be made by both
sides. the one seeking to overthrow
and the other seeking to retain its
seat. Senator La Follettes term will
not expire until March 3. 1929. and
whoever is chosen will serve until that
date.
The situation in Wisconsin is fur
ther complicated by the fact that an
other United States Senator comes up
for reelection next year-Senator Len
root. who belongs to the regular"
camp in that State. The La Toilette
people have been bent on defeating
him for nomination, and if not success

posed TO Mr.. Dawes.
BOrah a Possibility.
Who will become the leader of the
progressive bloc in the Senate? Upon
whose shoulders will the mantle of La
Toilette fall? Among the so-called
progressives of the Senate are strong
personalities, and the assumption of
leadership among them may be diff
ficult. The group acts together in the
main, however, and the names of
Borah of Idaho. who so often has play
ed a lone hand successfully in that
body. and of Norris of Nebraska. are
particularly mentioned as probable
leaders of this group. Senator Borah is
an outstanding figure in the Senate
today. He has been an ardent sup
porter of the administration in it's cam
paign of economy. But he has differed
with il on the Russian policy, the
World Court, the so-called Mellon
plan of tax reduction and he was one
of the most active opponents OF the
confirmation of Mr.. Warren to be At
torney General. Senator Hiram John
son of California a few years ago
might nave stepped INTO the leadership
of the progressives. But for various
reasons Senator Johnson may lack
support of some of them today.
Law Bars Appointment.
Much Importance attaches to the
selection of a successor to Senator
La Follette'S seat in the Senate.
Under the Wisconsin laws as described
here today. the governor has no
authority to appoint a successor until
the next general election, but must
call a special election. The Legislature
of the State is now sitting, but the
time for the introduction of new bills
has passed, and it would require a
two-thirds vote to suspend the rules
to make possible the introduction of
bill to grant the governor this
authority. 1t is doubtful that the
Legislature now will agree to this.

Foreign Powers Would Have L. s
Italy and France Mediate.

PEkING, June 19 LP).-The foreign
powers today suggested to the
Chinese government the undertaking
OF negotiations to settle both the
questions arising from recent dis
turbances in Shanghai and also to
discuss the broad aspect of condi
tions in China generally.
The Italian minister, representing
also the ministries of other foreign
powers interested in the Chinese situa-
tion. made this suggestion personally
TO the Chinese foreign Office today.
His expressed desire was that the
negotiations deal with all aspects of
conditions contributing TO the unrest
at Shanghai. an consequently in
fiuencing conditions throughout China
1t was understood the diplomatic
representing the United States, France
and Italy discuss questions of the
administration of their foreign con
cessions in Shanghai with view of
meeting the Chinese desires.
Demands Too Great.
Ferdinand l.. Mayer, American
charge d'affaires, today gave an
explanation of the interruption yes
terday of the conference at Shanghai
between Chinese delegates and repre-
sentatives of the Peking diplomatic
corps. He said
The delegation of interested diplo
matte representatives was sent to
Shanghai solely on a mission of in
Vestigation. Later il had it's powers
enlarged and was brought into nego
tiations with Chinese delegates. The
latter having presented demands
which exceeded the powers of the
diplomatic delegation, the latter is re
turning to Peking to make a report
The diplomatic representatives have
already made known to the Chinese
foreign office their desire to begin ne
gotiationS without delay. In their
opinion, immediate settlement of the
Shanghai incidents on a basis of jus
tice and equity must be the subject of
the first agreement. Furthermore. IL
the Chinese government expresses
such a desire, the diplomats are dis
posed to request authorization from
their respective governments to dis.

ternational settlement and the admin
istration of justice there"
The Chinese capital is quiet. No
important demonstrations have been
held here since Monday. while at
tempts to institute a boycott of for.
eigners have thus far met with little
success.
Street collections for the benefit of
the strikers in other cities have vir-
tual1y ceased. owing to the fear of

WAS WORSE THAN BARK
FLAGSTAFF LOSING 80

Tempe was just a shade too strong
for Flagstaff in Saturdays classic
and in one of the best, hardest fought
and most evenly contested games
ever seen here, copped, 80.
A kick from field did it. Tempe
missed another drop kick by very
marrow margin. The ball was kept in

the time.
The better team won. But not
much the better team. Perhaps it
would be more fair to say the best
generalship won. Here is the way
Howard Denman, assistant coach for
Flagstaff, saw it:

decisive, being only three points. So
Ear this year the Lumberjacks have
kept their goal inviolable but they
we're unable to deny Tempe the mar
gin of victory, a field goal by Riggs

The outstanding feature of the
game was the exceptional defensive
ability of the Lumberjack line, espe-

ing of Rushing, who time and again
ripped Tempe's line to shreds. On
defense Jack Wilson's work stood out
