president Wilson is expected to reveal soon his views on the failure of the senate to ratify the German peace treaty, for which hfe and the Republican irreconcilable* were responsible, and also his attitude toward further measures to re-estab-lish peace. . ■, The president probably will do this in response to ap appeal presented to him today by many distinguished Americans to re-submit the treaty M the senate, accept the league of nations covenant, as modified by the Lodge reservations, and refer the questions remaining m dispute to further negotiation or to the people in the presidential was presented at the White House by Samuel Colcord of New York, author of the proposal; Prof. Woodbridge of Boston, and Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent. „. .. The delegation did not see the president, but Mr. Tumulty promised that their memorial would be submitted to Mr. Wilson at once. The proposal will be laid before Republican and Democratic senators Wednesday. 4 T Mr. Colcord said that the names of the several hundred signers of the appeal to the president to accept the- Lodge reservations Would be made public in instalment*. It has been signed by William J. Bryan adn Herbert Hoover and by a number of well known Chicagoans. Among the signers whose names were made public today are Cardinal Gibbons, President Lowell of Harvard university: Cleveland H. Dodge, George W. Wickersbam, Jacob H. Schiff, George Haven Put--nam, Dr. W. W. Keen, Augustus Thomas, the Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, Frederick R. Coudert, andthe Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster, bishop of Connecticut. * Mr. Colcord thus described the plan presented in the memorial: “That by understanding between the president and a sufficient number of the majority and minority senators we at once accept the inevitable and Join the league of nations upon tne basis of what are known as the Lodge reservations as adopted by a majority vote of the senate prior to March 19, with such favorable modifications as nave since been accepted by the majority, ot as may be immediately obtained, and leave the remaining ! questions in dispute to he settied later—-by referendum, if a referendum must be taken, or by continued negotiation. “Or, in other words, they may take their referendum if they wiu, but not while the world waits in suspense and agony for the pledge of aid we are willing to give. The letter to the president said: “With as simple formality as, may be consistent with propriety and the high respect we owe you, we de--aire to present what is probably as spontaneous an appeal as was ever presented to the president of the r6 “our memorial respectfully proposes a plan hjr which you might take the question of adoption of your highest ideals respecting the league of nations before the electorate, and the opposing vitrtr be presented on the other hand, wrtnout keeping the world waiting for our aid, and'without subjecting the vital question of our becoming s part of tim league of nations to the uncertainties and perils of * ,P*f~ tisan political campaign m which, by entirely unforseen influences, au may he lost.

WOULD YOU RELISH A DISH OF FRIED GRASSHOPPERS?

Corvallis, Ore., March 29. —Ever eat fried grasshoppers? You’re missing a real delicacy if you don't according to Frank L. Snow, professor of industrial journalism at the Oregno agricultural college here. . Snow spent six years in South -Central Africa, and it was there that he learned something about what is good to eat. “After all, what one eats is largely a matter of custom,” said Professor Snow. Many fastidious epicures in this country are willing to pay high prices for frog le®»But down in Africa the blacks turn up their noses at the idea of eating frog meat ! “ ‘lkona muschli,” they say. (No Rood.) “But natives are particularly fond of grasshoppers. I first indulged -in their delicacy when I had been without food for many hours, and they really tasted like more.” /

STRONGLY INDORSE WOOD

New York, March 29.—Among the letters received during the last week from v prominent men an- j nouncing their support of the cam- | paign of Leonard Wood for the Re-, publican presidential nomination, was one from John Grier Hibben,. president of Princeton University, j who wrote: “I have given by very hearty indorsement to the candidacy of General Wood. He is the embodiment of the spirit of American patriotism. His administrative ability has been proved in many emergencies. We, as a people, are greatly indebted to him for his for-sighted sagacity in preaching the gospel of preparedness and in actually pre- j paring a body of young men as officers who later formed the nuc-| leus of our army overseas and made possible the splendid showing of our untried and inexperienced troops.” •David Jayne Hill, former ambassador to Germany, sent a letter in which he said: “I have for many years, had a sincere admiration for General Wood’s fine personal qualities and am well convinced of his fitness for the great office of President. I can, therefore, say without the slightest disparagement of some greatly esteemed personal friends who have also been mentioned for the nomination, that if in selecting a candidate the Republican party should in its wisdom choose him as its most eligible, standard bearer, I would be happy to do everything in my power to secure his election.”
