Da Should Mr. Pollock be a member of J the next state Democratic convention Ca he will ask the party to grant the ^ white women of the State the right j j, to participate in the primaries.

He asserted ? that unless this number was authorized, the navy would be unable to aid materially in bringing American 1 troops home from Europe and in addih tion would be "dangerously weak3 ened." 9 3 Mr. Daniels emphasized that the 5 navy department did not intend to ask j Congress at this time for a permanent _ navy of 250,000 men but only for a . temporary force large enough to take ! care of the work arising in the trani sition period between war and peace. 9 Between now and the end of the war, 3 the secretary said, the department j wolud have time to study carefully g the situation and arrive at a definite conclusion as to the country's needs. f LYNCH IS LYNCHED BY AN 1 ANGRY MOB AT LAMA, MO. f * Springfield, Mo.?Jay Lynch, slayer of Sheriff John Harlow and Harlow's j son March 3, was hanged by a mob at Lama, Mo.

BOLSHEVIK'S INTERNAL TROUBLES INCREASING London.?The bolshevikl are faced 1 by further internal troubles and the. ' official statement received here by ! wireless from Moscow refers to the "internal front" . where "an advance ' ' against Vinnista has been stopped." | According to a t Digram received ! 5 here from Kem, the bolshevik com' missioners in the Shunga district were ' killed and the red guards dispersed.

SENATOR OVERMAN REGRETS MAKING LEAGUE AN ISSUE Washington.?Washington and New xorit newspapers made a feature of a statement of Senator Overman to the efTect that the Democratic national committee made a mistake to declare that it will accept the league of nations as a party issue. Mr. Overman is quoted as follows: "In my opinion the league of nations should not be made a party issue, it should be entirely nonpartisan; those of every political party should join in and support it from purely patriotic inotivds. "It is a mistake to try and limit its support to those of one political faith. "I am somewhat surprised at the action of the democratic national committee. In any event it can have no influence or control over the senate." APART FROM GERMANY "AUSTRIA 18 DOOMED."

The tota elapsed flying time from New Found land to Lisbon was 26 hours and 4: minutes. At the first opportunity the bij plane will continue to Plymouth, 771 nautical miles to the north. To th< navy department, however, it makei little difference when he complete! the journey. The great object of al the effort lavished on the undertak ing, navigation of a seaplane acrosi the Atlantic through the air, hai been accomplished. Twentieth cen tury transportation has reached i new pinnacle and the United State* navy has led the way. Navy officials emphasized that th< long delay at the Azores was due t< the weather and to no weakness o: the machine or its daring crew. PEACE TERMS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR POINDEXTEF Washington.?Lack of severity ol the peace terms imposed on German) was criticised by Senator Poindexter Republican, of Washington, in a let ter written to a constituent and made public by the senator. "Foch was right," said Senatoi Poindexter in his letter. "The Frenct haOA Knon fnrt nnotn onnu rrK f/\ ne/v (hire several men in this war wht combined the geniu9 of great soldier? and great statesmen Foch is one I am very sorry that the ITn'ted State? was humiliated hy having a self ap pointed representative, who used thf control of finance and of food of thif great nation to ameliorate the terms to he imposed upon Germany. Ther? are times when softness is not in thf interest of humanity and civilizatior and this was one of those times." GERMANS WANT EQUAL VOTE IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Berlin.?The question whether Ger many will sign the peace treaty o' not, it was believed here tonight de pends altogether on whether the al lied and associated powers will agree to a plebiscite in all disputed terri tories and the reception of Germany into the league of nations as a mem her with an equal vote.

VILLA IS SECRETARY OF WAR Carranza Government Aska Permission to Move Troops Through Tsxas New Mexico and Arizona. Washington.?Villa forces have pro uiaimea uenerai ferpe Angeles provisional president of Mexico and Villa himself, secretary of war. The move, coming at the climax of military operations considered by the Carranza government so serious that it has asked the United States for permission to move troops through Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, is i regarded here as reflecting a situa1 tion more serious in Mexico than any 1 since the triumph of Carranza forces j over Villa three years ago. Viewed ! in connection with activities of the Felicista forces in southern Mexico 1 the situation is regarded as full of possibilities. Angeles' reported first proclamation I announcing that Americans in Mexico would be protected is particularly interesting to officials here, coming as it does on tbe heels of the refusal of 1 the state department to grant Carranza's request that he be allowed to move troon<* thrmich ? 1 ' VHOtm nui^l iuau IC1 I I" tor7 (or the- purpose of protecting Americans in Chihuahua.

PEOPLE SEEMINGLY ARE CAMOUFLAGED HUN NEWSBOY8 VENDING FULL TEXT OF THE TREATY ON 8TREET8. BI6 THREE MADE RIDICULOUS Th? Cry of "Beware, This Translation la German Made," Does Not Leason Humor of the Situation. London.?While President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau imagined that they were keening from th? wnrin ???? * _ ^ r. va.W VMW ICAW of the peace treaty, Germany stole a march, for they have put it out in a pamphlet form, selling it upon the streets oftheir cities. Those who have eeen parts of the original peace treaty in Paris say that the official press summary was rigge<l with special sharp teeth for political effect in Prance and England. The clauses upon reparations are as one instance, the clauses being lese severe in The Times forecast published the day before the Germans got the treaty than in the official digest arranged for the press at Paris. The pity is that the Big Three let the Germans come along first with the full text of the treaty. They are now crying "beware, this translation is German made." It does not leesen the rather ridiculous plight the Big Three may now find themselvea in, in coneeauence of trvin* to m?k? the people at home think that the terms are more severe than they really were. Nor does the attempt to cover the hiatus between the press summary and the first draft with the explanation that constant changes are necessary before the final draft will be reached emother the humor of the situation that the Germans have apparently created.
