CHICAGO, May :• —Managers of the Republican national convention, to be held here the week of June 7. have a serious ’ sitnation confronting them in regard to the sale of tickets. The seats nave been placed on sale at SSO each nad the demand has far exceeded the available supplj and it has been sug gested that it will be necessary to raise ihe price to *IOO or possibly higher in order to stop the rush for reservations. The situation will be considered today by Frederick W. Upham. chairman of the Chicago committee for Hie conven tion. The committee has been allotted 2.300 tickets, which, at SSO a ticket, nould be more than enough to meet the *IOO.OOO guarantee made to secure the convention for Chicago. Seats for the Progressive party con vention have been placed on sale at prices ranging from *lO to *25. Owing to the holding here at one time fr. June of the Republican. Progressive and Woman’s party conventions, with their thousands of delegates and vis itors. Chicago’s housing facilities will be severely taxed. Most of the dele gates to the first two named conven tions have been provided for by the local committees, but the women, dele gates. their visitors and those who wilt lake part in the suffrage parade and demonstration are finding it difficult to ' obtain accommodations. Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the hospitality tor the suffrage parade, said today that plans had practically been completed for the housing ot all the women who may wish to come, but various kinds of sleeping places at widely scattered locations will be used. Mrs. Bass is now negotiating for track space where the special trains from various points, may stand, so that the women can sleep in the cars. There were practically no rooms available for the women in the downtown hotels, but all available space in the outlying hotels has been reserved. •We shall probably have, a camp in Grant park which will house 1.000 wom en.” Mrs. Bas? said. "and 2.500 more will be able to set rooms in Chicago hotels. The women from down state, from Indiana. Michigan and Wisconsin will be asked to return home the night of the parade It has been an almost unsurmountable task to hnd places for the hundreds of wonun who are com ing from farther east, south and west.” The special suffrage hat which will he worn in the parade will be placed on sale In 700 millinery stores on May 20. The hat was described as being made of white straw, partly covered with white moire ribbon and with a cockade of purple. white and gold. PROPOSES REGULATION OF COTTON FUTURE CONTRACT WASHINGTON, May 9.—Regulation of cotton future contracts was proposed today by Senator Smith, of South Caro lina. in an amendment to the agricul tural appropriation bill, framed to meet the decision of the New York federal courts that the law is unconstitutional because it is a revenue measure. The existing law taxes cotton future contracts unless they contain a provision giving the seller of a certain grade the option to tender to the buyer other grades at a difference in price based on " the market price. Senator Smith’s •amendment provides that in the event the buyer and’ seller cannot agree as to the grade to be substituted the buyer can demand the delivery of the grade actually sold.

WASHINGTON. May 9.—Hope that at the end of the present war the nation.’ of the world would undertake a joint effort to keep the peace, backed by a common police force, was expressed by President Wilson in an interview with a committee of the American Union Against Militarism, which called to pro test against his preparedness program and advise him that they had found a fear of militarism in the country west of the Alleghenies. The president told his callers that a helpless nation would be neglible in a conference to establish the founda tions for peace. He said there.was a difference between preparedness and militarism, that the country was in no danger of the latter, and in response to a question declared that compulsory military training was not contrary to American tradition. The committee insisted that on ac count of his office the president most frequently addressed audiences from the upper classes and that the re sponses he received upon the proposal to increase the military were mislead ing him as to the true sentiment of the country. CAN’T PROTECT BORDER. President Wilson told the committee that while America’s traditions were anti-militaristic they were not those of military helplessness; that the exist ing United States army was not large enough to safeguard the Mexican bor der, and it had been found necessary to prepare the navy to deal wtih tre mendously increased tasks quite inde pendent of war. The committee was headed by Miss Lillian D. Wald. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise anti Amos R. E. Pinchot, of New York City; A. A. Berle, of Cambridge, Mass., and John A. McSparran, legislative chairman of the National Grange, who presented a memorial setting forth that while the union did not stand against sane or reasonable preparedness nor for peace at any price, it was convinced that the big army and navy programs were a menace to democracy. The pres ident was informed that these views had been voiced in great meetings in ten cities of the middle west and had met with enthusiastic indorsement. When the spokesman of the delega tion had supplemented their memorial bv brief speeches the president replied PRESIDENT'S VIEWS. The president miM in part: “I bare never drenniol for a mniuent that America as a whole, its rank and file, had got anr military enthusiasm or militaristic spirit, and I think that it is very necessary, in order that we should work this thing out wisely, that we should carefully discriminate between rea sonable preparation and militarism; because if you use the two words interchangeably, then, of course, the reasonable things that we ought to do take on a wrong and sinister appearance and we seem to be working for the wrong things when we are in reality only working for the risht—that is. the necessary things that are un avoidable in the circumstances. I think it would be a disservice not to recognize that there is a point of reasonable preparation, and that you can go to that point without changing the spirit of the country or violating its traditions. For the traditions of the country have not b<*eu those of a military helplessness, though they have been those of an anti-militarism. "The currents of opinion, or, rather the bodies of opinion in this country, are very hard to assess. For example. Mayor Mitchel, of New < Vork city, and a group of gentlemen associated with him made a tour not unlike that which you made and had meetings, and they came back and reported in the most enthusiastic terms a unanimous opinion, not for universal military service, but very distinctly for universal military training, which, of course, is a very different thing. CAN SEE THE DANGER. “Now 1 quite see the danger that Mr. Pinchot p r. eives in the laws that he referred to. be- I cause they seem to associate military training ; with public authority and to draw that training I into some sort of connection with military or- I ganization. It is not inconsistent with American | tradition that everybody should know how to sho<<t and take care of himself; on the con . trary, that is distinctly Implied in our bills of I rights, where the right to carry arms is re served to all of us. There is no use carrying • arms if you do not know what to do with them. : I should’ say that it was not inconsistent with | the traditions of the country that the people I should know how to take care of themselves: ■ but it is inconsistent with the traditions of the country that their knowledge of arms should Im> used by a governmental organization which would make and organize a great army subject tto orders, to do what a particular group of men might at the time think it was best to I have It do. That is the militarism of Europe, where a few persons can determine what an arrnol nation <s to do. That is what I under ! stand militarism to he. But a nation acqualnt : ed with arms is not a militaristic nation, un less there is somebody who can by an order determine wbat they shall all do with that f< rce. I think we might to he very careful not to let these different things seem as if they were the same. M ATTER OF JI DGMENT. ••When yen come to ask how much prejsira tion y«u car. make that surely is a matter of jt dgment. and I do not see how von can fin! an absolute standard unon which to determine that question. Take Mr Eastman’s suggestion that we m’ght have some Arrangement by which tl.e Tiorder of Mexico can be patrolled: Then? ate not mtn enough In the existing American • •tny to’ patrol that border. When thing’ ara at si«e« and seven', in a neighboring conn- i try. as in Mexico, end evcrvbody apparently a Jaw unto himself, there are not men enough ; t<- safeguard that bonier! And yet it is the l right thing to do to keep the disorders of on<» , country from flowing ov< r to disturb the peace iof another country That is not militarism: | that 1* necessity. ■ do not need to tell you i that I am Jest as much opnosed to militarism |as any man living—l think It is a deadly , thing to get Into the spirit of a nation, and , I do not think there is the slightest danger of i its getting into the spirit of this nation—only I ; have to determine a very practical problem. ' I have to determine how large an army ia not I unreasonable for the United States. The largest army proposed, that of the Chamberlain bill, is (250.000 men. and as compared with any Euro pean standard, that is extremely small in a I nation of a hundred milllot-s. So thtt unless you regard It as a prophecy, there is nothing I extravagant in an artnv of 250.000 men. ! ’The traditions of the American people have jalwara been for a very powerful navy. We I have never bc« n j‘nl<-us of the navy <n < n in our I most sensitive move nenta.” INCREASE IN NAVY. One of the members of the committee asked ;If the navy had not been increas'd tremcn do.isl? j ’’Not tremendously," Mr. Wilson replied. I “Yon see our tasks l.ave lncre*s< i d tremendously; th* amount of s<« that we have found It neees- • sary to police, to take care of our distant pos ' s>*sslcn< and be ready for exigencies of the most ordinary kind, qnitc independently of war. 1 has increased tremendously. So that I earnestly j tope that we may not antagenixe reasonable pro tection in cur effort to avoid militarism. I do not think it Is going to need any «-ery great I effort t>> avoid militarism, becau'- I q iite ;sgr e with you that there w< have got the I sentiment of a groat body of people behind us, I jn<l tint, after all.

"YEAR OF MADNESS.” "But this is not the year 18»5." replied Mr. Wilson. "This is a year of madness. If u a year of excitement, more profound than the world has ever known before. All the world is seeing red. No standard we have ever had obtains auy longer.

WASHINGTON, May 10. —Work on the army reorganization bill was re sumed today by the conference com mittee of the house and senate with in dications of an agreement being near. Il was expected that virtually a new bill, the result of a compromise, would I be ready to be laid before President j Wilson next week. Prospects are that the senate con ferees will have to give up the volun i teer army provision for a reserve of 261,000 men. in view of its repudiation by the house. Senate conferees hope, however, to strengthen the house pro vision authorizing citizen instruction camps which would afford the nucleus of a volunteer army. It was expected that a regular army with a peace footing of approximate ly 175,000 men with the senate expan sive organization system for 220,000 men in time of need would be agreed to. The house provision for reorganization and federalization of the national I guard which would provide for a de i sense reserve of about 400,000 men also | probably will be approved. It was re garded as likely that the house amend , ment for a nitrate plant to cost *20,- I 000.000 would be accepted. Little delay is looked for in reach i ing an agreement on the minor features of the bill. Wood Alcohol Jag Kills Three PLAINVIEW, Tex., May 9.—As the result of drinking denatured alcohol Paul J. Warren, Joe Dingier and Mug Brock are dead and Tom Erneast is in a dying condition. Jim Carpenter, Noah Stallings and M. L. Helton are seri ously ill and may die. They, with several others, it is said, drank hair tonic which contained the alcohol. Doctors express the belief that all who drank of the poison will die or become blind. POWDER MILL EXPLOSION KILLS AT LEAST FOUR NEW YORK, May 9. —At least four I men are reported to have been killed and a hundred others to have sustained i more or less serious injuries today in ' a dynamite explosion in the works of the Atlas Powder company, at Lake Hopatcong. N. J. Owing to the isolated I position of the plant, only meagre de- I tails could be obtained. The explosion shook the surrounding country, rocking houses, bringing down ' ceilings, and breaking windows. Some ' reports placed the dead as high as 15. The explosion occurred in one of the i mixing houses, a wooden single-story i shack, a considerable distance from the main plants. world and to act on those facts of the world and to act on those facts with restraint, with reasonableness, without any kind of misleading excitement, and yet with energy, and all that I am maintaining Is this, that we must take such steps as arc necessary for our own safety as against the imposition’ of the standards of the rest of the world upon ourselves. "We have undertaken very much more than the safety of the United States: we have un dertaken to keep what we regard as demoral izing and hurtful European influences out of this hemisphere, and that means that If the world undertakes, as we nil hope it will under take. a joint effort to keep the peace, it will expect us to play our proportional part in mani festing the force which is going to rest back of that. In the last analysis the peace of society Is obtained by force and when action cotnes —it comes by opinion, but back of opinion is the ultimate application of force. The greater |>ody of opinion says to the lesser body of opinion. *we may be wrong, but you have to live under our direction for the time being, until you are more numerous than we are.’ That is what I understand it amounts to. "Now. let us suppose that we have formed a family of nations, and that family of na tions says, ‘the world Is not going to have any more wars of this sort without nt least first going through certain processes to show whether there is anything in its case or not. PROGRAM NOT ALTERED. "If you say. 'we shall not have any war,’ you have cot to have the force to make that •shall” bite. And the rest of the world, if America takes part in this thing, will have the right to expect from her that she contributes her elcni' nt of force to the general understand ing. Surely, that is not a militaristic ideal. That is a very practical ideal.” Miss Wald asked if this logically would not lead to a limitless expansion of America’s eon trihiitinn. The president replied: "Well, logically. Miss Wald, but I have not tile least regard for logic. What T mean to say is. I think in such affairs as we are now discussing the circumstances are the logic. . . . Now, quite opposite to anything you fear, 1 believe that if the world ever comes to com bine its force for the purpose of maintaining peace, the individual contributions of each na tion will be much less, necessarily, than they would be in other circumstances; and that all tl ev will have to do will be to contribute moder ately and not indefinitely.” Miss Wald remarked that. the navy seemed committed to a policy of huge Increase. "Just let me say there that there really has not been any material change," the presi dent said. "The only difference is this: We have been going on from year to year making certain additions determined upon that year, all along looking forward to a series of years. Nov, all that we have done is to evolve the rest of the program. It is not altered to any extent.” When Miss Wald sa'd there obviously was an attempt to stampede the country. Mr. Wilson repliml that It was not working. As the inter view neared a close one of tlie members of the committee asked whether the president believed in compulsory military service. “I did not say I believed in it. To use the phrase of a friend of mine, my mind is to let on the subject. I would say merely that that wu not contrary to American tradition.” "Mr. President.” continued the questioner, "we are potentially aggr< salve, because our economic organizations are more active, more piworful, in reaching out nnd grasping for the world trade. The organization of the inter national Corporation Is one of the great trade factor* of modern history; and it seems to me that if you hitch up this tremendous aggres sive grabbing for the trade of the world, with a tendency to back up that trade, there is going to be produced an aggressive nationalism in trade.” "It might very easily, unless some check wns placed upon it by some international arrange ment whirli w* hope for,” replied the presi dent.

He especially de sired that every comfort and considera tion should be shown to General Towns hend and expressed regret that his own supplies were not more plentiful. German Military Critic Gives Praise to His Guns BERLIN, May 10.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—“The German attack on Ver dun is based on the crushing effect of German heavy artillery,” writes Major Mosant, military critic of the Tageblatt. "The capture of the smaller fortresses in the west at the beginning of the war by the use of heavy artillery was only a prelude to the artillery operations now In progress. "The French have not been able to compete with German artillery and am munition. The enormous losses of the French are due partly to the effect of i the German artillery and partly to the tenacity of the French who will not abandon their trenches. "Although it is generally considered that attacking forces must be four times superior to those of the defense, in the Verdun campaign the number of German troops engaged is much less than half that of the French. The num ber of French troops may be calculated at not less than 800,000. This figure represents half of the entire forces which France still has at her disposa. for active fighting. “All the German successes on the east ern and western fronts were gained with numerically inferior forces. More over, the Austro-Hungarian troops for a year have been holding back twice their number of the enemy. The prin cipal elements in victory—quality of troops and courage—are steadily work ing to our advantage.” Torpedo Craft Battle Off Coast of Belgium BERLIN, May 10.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—ln an engagement off the Belgian coast on Monday between Ger man and British torpedo craft, a Brit ish destroyer was badly damaged by artillery fire, according to official an nouncement by the German admiralty under date of May 9. “Two German torpedo boats,” says the official statement, "while reconnoitering on the morning of May 8, had a brief engagement north of Ostend with five British torpedo boat destroyers.

KAISER WILLING TO EVACUATE BELGIUM FOR PEACE, REPORT Peace Rumors Persist in Euro pean Capitals and Now De tails of Berlin’s Attitude Are Put in Report (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 9. —Late today Secretary Lansing let it be known that the United States docs not consider that its response to the German note calls lor a reply from Germany unless Berlin specifies to the contrary, it was assumed that Germany accepts the American view as stated. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, May 9. —The Daily Tele graph’s Rotterdam correspondent sends a long statement concerning Germany’s attitude toward peace, which he says is based on information received from Berlin. He declares that Germany is now willing to give up absolutely any claim on France and Belgium, including even demands for militarj’ and economic guarantees of which Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg has spoken in the past. "In the east.” the correspondent adds, “Germany’s ambitions remain the same with the possible exception of autonomy for Poland. Germany will insist on retaining Courland." The London newspapers refuse to ac cept seriously the peace talk xvhich has followed publication of the German note to Washington. The Daily .Telegraph says: "The entente powers are out to win the war and overthrow Prussian mili tarism. No inconclusive peace will suit their demands and the very suggestion of a draw is abhorrent. They will con tinue to use their superiority in sea power to promote their common pur pose.” Peace Talk Boosts Coton Market to New High Figure NEW ORLEANS, May 9.—Peace ru more were numerous in the cotton mar ket after the noon hour today, causing one of the sharpest bulges of the sea son and putting prices 34 to 35 points —well over $1.50 a bale—above the lev el of yesterday’s close. Heavy buying continued until the end of the session and last prices were 23 to 34 points up. During the morning the market was apathetic and prices at their best were only 7 to 8 opints up. During the lunch hour the dullness was suddenly broken by all sorts of peace talk, contained in messages from New York and else where, and the ring suddenly became intensely exciting. Interior points join ed in the buying movement and the market took on decided strength. Kaiser Hopes Wilson May Be Mediator, Declares Paris PARIS, May 9. —In the opinion of the Temps one of the chief reasons why the German emperor is unwilling to break with President Wilson is that he hopes still to be able to invoke Mr. Wilson’s mediation and that it is to appeal tq "the most noble ambition” of the presi dent that the German note mentions Germany’s desire for peace, "twice made manifest before the world.” December Futures Sell at 13.36 on New York Market NEW YORK, May 9.—There was a sudden renewal of general and more or less excited buying in the afternoon ses sion of the cotton market here today and prices made new high ground for the movement. July contracts sold up to 13 cents and December 13.36, or about $1.50 a bale above the closing figures of last night. Trading had been comparatively quiet earlier in the day and May has been restricted by nervousness over the Mex ican situation, but there has been no sign of spot pressure, while trade inter ests were good buyers and a renewal of bull support accompanied by peace ru more sent prices rapidly upward. Covering by local and southern shorts was a feature on the advance.

On the contrary it is yearning for revenge for its American residents. The only two American families which re sided there permanently until the latest massacre by Mexican outlaws are those of W. K.

It was Compton’s son, Garnet, who was ruthlessly slain by the raiders xvha appeared to be satisfied to shed Ameri can blood no matter how defenseless their victims are. The disordered cot tage of Compton and the blood-stained bed clothing in the room where this little fellow was murdered is one of the sad dest reminders of the battle in which nine members of troops A Fourteenth cavalry held off for nearly three hours at least 100 Mexicans. MAIL ONCE A WEEK. Mai), which in ordinary times is de livered at Glen Springs only once a week is getting none at all now for the reason that there is no one there to receive it. Ellis and his wife escaped a few hours after the raid and have not returned since. Compton also had a nar row escape and he fled with the remain jing members of the family in Marathon. I Neither Ellis nor Compton will return jto the little place until the yhave some assurance that their lives are safe. It would appear that Glen Springs was unfortunate enough in its location without having further misfortune heap ed upon it. This village is located al most at the extreme end of what is known as the "Big Bend” country. This region is reputed as being the wildest in all the United States and extends northward 91 miles to the Southern Pa cific railroad, the nearts line of com munication. The settlement Is accessible only over a winding trail through mountains, cac tus and sage brush, punctuated here and there by sharp hills, yawning abyses and narrow canyons. The country is almost devoid of habitations, its prin 'cipal residents being of the wandering 'variety and classified as border raiders, i cowboys and rangers. It is for this reason that four troops of the United States cavalry found it necessary to employ guides to lead them to watering places in the desert coun try, on their march to the international border where it is understood a new ’’punitive expedition” will be taken up because of the second massacre of the kind by Mexicans on the American side In a few weeks. As in the first raid the Mexicans suffered considerable loss of life at least four of them are known to have been killed and perhaps several more. NINE POOLS OF BLOOD.

The two residences, one factory, one garage, one store, the ruins of In adobe building from where seven ot the nine American troopers made their gallant fight, and a dozen adobe Mexican huts, composing the village of Glen Springs, are bordered on three sides by mountains. The west approach to the village is open land, and the most accurate information is to the e^® ct that this was the direction from which the bandits attacked. SNEAKED UP FROM RIA ER. They are believed to have sneaked up from the Rio Grande, nine miles, to the village, by a circuitous route from the mountains to the south. Private Blrck was doing sentry duty about 1 o clock at night, when he noticed men moving along slowly at the base of the moun tains. He called on them to halt, and his answer was a volley of shots from the Mexicans. He ran for the shelter of the adobe house, and by this time his comrades were ready for action. From this time on until 2:30 o’clock in the morning the uneven batlte raged. It concluded only when the Mexicans set fire to the adobe shelter by throw ing balls of twine saturated with kero sene on the thatched roof. Even then Uncle Sam’s brave little band of war riors refused to cease fighting until their feet, legs, arms and heads had been lacerated by fire. The battle began with Sergeant Smyth, the commander of the small garrison, and Privates Birck and Cohen firing from within the adobe shelter. Privates Dempsey, Defrees, Tyree, Cohen, Rogers and Kroskem used as a fort a tent standing alongside the adobe*. A fire ball soon ignited the tent, and all but Dempsey and Kroskem sprang through a window into the stronger shelter. These two made use of anoth er tent in which feed was stored. Cdhen was the first to attempt flight from the burning building, according to the narrative of Dempsey, and as he crawled from the window a charge of buckshot tore away half his ’face and he fell to the ground dead. Rogers met a similar fate a moment later when he ran from a door on the west side of the shack. He was shot through the head. Cohen, although he was fatally wounded, succeeded in crawling several hundred feet toward the mountains to the north. His body was found that afternoon at 2 o’clock. N. Y.
