NEW MANEUVER l MADE IN G. 0. P. WOMENMATTLE Mrs. Wheatcraft’s Enemies Advance a Point in ‘Ouster/ There will be anew head to the women's bureau In 1 the Republican State organization. SJie will be selected by the State district chairwomen, who have been summoned to meet here'Wednesday for that purpose. When Mrs. was named to the position less than two weeks ago after a protracted fight made against her which had the support of Chairman Clyde Walb,' the Intimation was made that her selection was the result of a compromise by which Mrs. Wheatcraft would be taken to the national congressional committee, assigned to duty outside the State and someone else selected. Mrs. Wheatcraft at that time declared that she would not resign the position and that any effort to depose her would be met witty -a fight by her friends. The call for a meeting of the State committee to paeet at once to name a head of the women’s bureau, diplomatically suggests that Mrs. Wheatcraft and Chairman Walb desired their advice. Political rumor has it> that the enemies of Mrs. Wheatcraft have triumphed and that in the finish Senator Watson, who steadily and persistently stood back of Wheatcraft in her claims to preferment for services to the party and ability as a politia! organizer, Anally has yielded to the weight of opposition. The women who will meet to select their own leader are said to be ready to name Miss Mary Sleeth of Rushville, the home of Senator Watson. Miss Sleeth has been one of the consistent friends of Mrs. Wheatcraft during the months ij which she has been compelled to wage a dramatic political battle to retain her leadership. That stye has now yielded to some extent for the sake of harmony in the ranks Is Interpreted as meaning thot Senator Watson has become alarmed at the strength of opposition and Is calling upon his faithful friends to sacrifice themselves for the sake 'of harmony lil- the party itself. The disaffection in many sources is said to be so wide spread that others who have been named to political organization and official honors may be'compelled to efface themselves before the campaign i** well under way. All efforts, from now on, will be designed to unload tho Watson ship of all causes of quarrels and Internal dissensions, for the Senator, it is reported, has sighted stormy seas ahead.

TOLERANCE, PLEA OF CLEMENCEAU (Continued From Page 1) exist In identical form, and I see that solutions tried out or preparations for solution have not created the proper state of mind in the Interested countries. “We are debtors; you are creditors. It would seem that lt is purely a question of the cash register. “Are there not other considerations to take Into acount? “The European policy of England has consisted so far In holding in check peoples of the continent and lining them up one against the other for the proper moment of intervention. “I am confident that the eyes of the man in the street are opening, that he is seeing more clearly today. “It is to .America that the anxiety of France is principally turned. Coffers Are Empty “Tou press us for payment. The debt is not a debt of commerce, but a debt of war, and you kiLow, .is do we, that our coffers are -empty. “Under such circumstances a debtor signs notes. Also, tha; is what you ask of us. Yet again must we believe In a cash settlement on the day fixed. But the secret of the comedy Is that the question here is only of fictitious maturties to arrange a loan with safe mortgages on our territory, like Turkey. “If that, Mr. President, is necessary, I frankly tell you that we can never accept. France is not for sale, even to her friends. We Inherited her independent, and- independent we will leave her. Ask yourself, after President Monroe, If you seek any other fate for| the American continent.” “If France must disappear under the blows of her enemies and ‘friends combined,Clemenceau wrote, “there would remain her proud name. What have we done that was not strictly out of duty? Must xve cede our citadels to Germany when she asks them under penalty of a declaration of war? Will anyone arise to say that we could have done other than submit to the inevitable?” “Does Verdun say we fought poorly? “Yes, we cast all in a maelstrom of blood and money as did England and the United States, but it was French territory which was scientifically razed for three mortal years while we awaited word from America, ‘that France is the frontier of liberty.’ v Blood and Money “For three years blood and money ran from all our pores. Come read in our villages the list without end of our dead, and compare if you wish. Is it a bank account which constitutes the living force of this lost youth? “Like Russia at Brest-Lltovsk, America made a separate peace with Germany even arranging an adjustment with her companions in arms—a peace of blood with the common enemy. Tqday we are thinking of a money peace between the allied and associated powers. How" was it that we did not N see what was coming? Why was it that we did not stop beneath flying shells to convoke a conference of profiteers which would have decided if they would allow us to continue fighting for the most beautiful conquest of a beautiful history? Humanity's Ideal “I have spoken freely to the honored chief of a great nation for whom for fifty years I have kept Iffy greatest respect and friendship because I believe this people to be destined to receive from the old world and to carry on higher and higher the flame of the great ideal of humanity. It Is for this people now to judge itself. I can only offer the supreme homage of my silence if I am mistaken. “pray you, Mr. President, accept the homage of my profound respect. (Signed) ’’GEORGES CLEMENCEAU.” COOLIDGE ADAMANT Appeal Can in No Way Influence U. S. Attitude. PLYMOUTH, Vt„ Aug. 9.—George* Clemenceau’s appeal to President Coolidge not to allow tKe French debt to be treated only as a monetary transaction, can in no way lnfluende the attitude of the United States Government toward the French financial obligation to us, it was indicated by a spokesman for the President.^ Although the President has not as yet had official cognizance of Clemenceau's letter, nor studied the document in detail, he is said to take the position that the debt settlement is a closed issue so far as the United States is concerned. That position is In line with Mr. Coolldge'a policy of regarding the debt funding commission as practically extinct and possessing no power to reopen negotiations that have been closed.
