PRIMARIES SHOW OPPOSITION FOR PACT, IS CLAIM WASHINGTON, April 8. Presidential primaries to date are said to afford little comfort for the supporters of the peace treaty and President Wilson's scheme for a League of Nations.

Senator Johnson carried the Michigan primary election by a plurality which far exceeded all of his most hopeful expectations, and the issue upon which ho fought out the contest was the League of Nations. Major General Leonard Wood advocated acceptance of the treaty, with reservations, and Senator Johnson defeated him by a vote of almost two to one. Senators William Calder and James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Repulicans, elected in the New York primaries to sit in the Chicago convention, opposed the treaty's ratification without reservation. At one stage in the treaty

EL PASO, Tex., April 8. Five persons were under arrest today and the federal grand jury had evidence which might lead to other arrests in connection with what federal officials said was one of the most pretentious Mexican revolution plots ever conceived on the border.

MILITARIZE, AND GET

FULL POWER, THEME

OF TROTZKY SPEECH

MOSCOW, March 27. Militarization Is the only means fully to utilize Russia's manpower, said" Leon Trotzky, Bolshevik minister of war, addressing the ninth convention of the communist party today. The address was chiefly directed to defining the relation of the mobilization of Industry to the industrial rehabilitation of Russia. "Mobilization is more necessary now than it was formerly," he declared, "because we have to deal with the peasant population and masses of unskilled labor which cannot be utilized to the fullest extent by any other means than military discipline. Trades unions are capable of organizing great masses of qualified workers but 30 per cent of the people cannot be reached by this means." Working Army Productive. Trotzky declared the working army, which 13 built on the principle of compulsory work, Is no less productive than was the old system of competi

tion and came out In favor of personal rather than collective administration. He asserted that political administration of railroads was unsatisfactory and temporary, adding, however, that it was. necessary because railroad workers are moe conservative i tendency than men engaged in other branches of labor. . The general tenor bfr the speech was in support of centralization of power In the hands of a strong government. It was delivered in a forceful manner and aroused much enthusiasm.
