La Toilette Sounds
Election Battle Cry
Against ForeignP Policy
Coils On lsoIotionists
To Mobilize for 1912
Congressional Races
By ]. A. OIEARY.

Latest sign that the administra-
tons foreign policy will be major
issue in the 1912 Congressional
elections came today in an appeal
from Senator La Toilette, Progress

to mobilize for the political bat
ties which lie just ahead"
Coming less than a week after
the disclosure that Wendell L. Will
kie. the 1910 Republican standard
bearer, plans to throw his support
next year to those Republican men,
bers of Congress who favor the ad-
ministrations foreign policy. the
Progressive's challenge was viewed
by some observers as being, in part
az least, an answer to the Willkie
program.
The Wisconsin Senator did not go
so far as to suggest whether isola-
tionists should attempt to unite un-
der one political banner, or seek
to elect their sympathizers in each
of the two existing major parties.
He hinted, however, at possible
changes in party lines, by declar-

"A political realignment has been
in the making for many years.
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Will

country they would keep out of war
Without these pledges neither would
have had chance to be elected"
The Wisconsin Senator charged
that there appears to be a COL
laboration to purge the Democratic
and Republican parties of all those
who do not agree with the admin

Malaga First Publicized.
Only twice before had the Navy
broken it's silence-and relaxed it's
policy of so-called voluntary CEN
sorship"-regarding the precence of
British men-o-war in United States
ports. In the first instance, several
months ago Immediately after the
policy was instituted, it was acknow-
lodged that the battleship Malaga
had put into New York. Within the
last few weeks it was also disclosed
that the Illustrious was at Norfolk
and it was there recently that her
new captain, Lord Louis Mountbat-
ten, tremendously took command
Along with it's modification of
policy. the Navy listed half dozen
restrictions regarding British ship
information. Among these it was
specified that information as to
methods employed in any operation

This was said, however, not to

bombers, she was badly battered and
80 of her crew were reported killed.
Warspite a Veteran.
Less was known about the par

 Being Hard Pressed
(By Associated Press)

Balkan diplomatic quarters report Hitler has brought pressure on Greece to make c;iick peace with Italy on Mussolini's terms under threat that Nazi troops will invade Greece and it is also officially re- ported that Bulgaria and Turkey have signed nonaggression pact.
 Dispatches from Sofia said the German Minister at Athens has in- formed the Greek leaders Turkey and Bulgaria have signed the non aggression pact and Greece is now open to attack through Bulgaria If Greece refuses to make quick peace.

 An authoritative Sofia newspaper, the Fora, declares Russia has agreed with Germany. that the Bulgarian Turkish pact means preventing spread of the war to southeast Eur ope.
 Greeks Advance
 Germany's reported squeeze" on Greece to sue for peace on Italy's own terms. came as the Greeks chronicled fresh advances north of Klisura, in central Albania.
 It is officially reported from the Albanian front that Mussolini's Fascist legions are blowing up muni- tion stores as they retreat from the front lines.
 Italian Losses Heavy
 Greek dispatches said the Italian losses. dead and wounded, are the heaviest since Italy invaded Greece on October 28.
 The Italian Command acknow- lodges considerable losses" but as- serted the Greeks have failed in bitter fighting" to break the Fascist lines.
