RELIEF MEASURE PASSES SENATE BY BIG MARGIN Soldier Bill Approved Following Heated Debate in Congress. r.y Associated Press: WASHINGTON, May 2?. The soldier relief hill was passed today by the house, to 02. and sent to tho senate. Under the program that brought the final showdown, a two-thirds vote in support of tho measure was necessary for Its passage and it was obtained after a fight, during which test votes had indicated defeat of the measure. Tli reo Test Votes. While only the dlrtct vote on the bill was possible under the suspension program, it was preceded by threo test votes which showed supporters of the measure gradually gaining strength. The first vote of 1S2 to 1S9, coming on a parliamentary question, indicated that advocates of trio bill were short by 6 4 votes of the twothirds majority .while the second by which the suspension program was adopted, 200 to 165, showed they lacked only 37 votes. The third test was on applying: the suspension program to the. bill itself, which v a-s carried, 173 to 91. or two less than the required number for passage. HcaUtl Debate. Between roll calls the debate was heated. The democrats, aided by a minority of the republicains, attacked the "gaff rule" of the majority. Advocates of the suspension program declared a vote against it was a vote against the bill itself and gradually they wore down the opposition, the final vote recording 40 republicans and Z2 democrats in opposition. Supporters of the measure declared that the bill was just to the exservice man for losses they suffered during tho war, but its opponents denounced it as a "political trick" to win tho soldier vote through an attempt to "commercialize patriotism." Attacks on the suspension program were made by Rep. Mann. Illinois, and Rep. Clark, of Missouri, the democratic leader, while Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee, and others defended it as the only plan for forcing action on the bill. Make Protest. Protesting against what he called a "gat; ruU-," Mr. Mann declared that if the republicans could not bring up the legislation so as to permit amendment, which was impossible under suspension, they then "acknowledge! impotency and incapacity." Mr. Clark announced the suspension ?s the "most outrageous maneuver ever made In the house," adding that "the statement that the democrats arc against the soldier legislation is a lie." All that was desired, he said, was opportunity to amend the bills taxing provisions, "The time has come to unmask." replied Mr. Campbell, declaring that votes against the suspension program were votes against the soldier bill. Interrupting him. some democrats protested that he was "misrepresenting their attitude." ESTABLISH 1XD1AXA G. O. P. HEADQUARTERS AT CONGRESS HALL lir Associated Pivsi: INDIANAPOLIS. Ind .

II y Associated Press: WASHINGTON, May 2 9. Memorial day messages were made public tonipht by Secretaries Baker and Daniels, following the custom of tho war and navy departments. "The tribute of flowers which today are placed on the graves of our soldiers are the outward emblem of a deep and solemn emotion which fills the entire nation," Mr. Raker said. "We shall have in our minds the virtues of those to whose memory Memorial day was originally set apart, and we will think with fresh pride and affection of tho American soldiers of the world war, who in their youth and strength, carried America overseas and showed the old world the frufts of institutions which our fathers established, and our soldiers In all generations have victoriously defended. The heart of the nation will, too, be filled with sympathy as it tries to spare the personal burden of those whose family ties were broken by the sacrifices of the war." PnnicLs Message. "The country that forgets its defenders does not deserve a citizenship courageous enough to place their lives in Jeopardy to defend it." Secretary Daniels said. "The valor of the youths of our day to the number of four million, who were ready in the world war to die for America, teaches us that tho breed of heroes has not played out. There are as many Nathan Hales in every hundred youths today as there were in the Revolution. This knowledge gives higher appreciation of the soldiers and sailors in whose honor we celebrate Memorial djiy. We think more of their sacrifice, even unto death, than before this generation had experienced what war means. As we honor the dead heroes today, let the people of the republic rededicate themselves to a love of freedom that knows no creed nor race nor clime nor ocean boundary."

The Carlisle family was away during the dinner hovr and the house was left in the care of several servants. Mrs. Carlisle discovered the robbery when she returned home shortly after 9 o'clock. She went to her dressing room and discovered that between 15 and 2 0 pieces of jewelry wero missing-. Police Kail. The South Rend police were notified but could find no clues that would throw any light on the affair. It is thought that the burglar or burglars entered through the regeular entrance, as no windows or doors were found to be oren in other parts cf the home. The servants were questioned but none of them had heard any disturbance. At a late hour last night, the second butler, whos name was not learned, was missing. It is said that he was employed by the Carlisles through the Tracey employment agency of Chicago. The Sutler Is a Frenchman, five feet five inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, smooth face and has dark brown hair and eyes. The South Rend police notified officials of all surrounding towns to look for the missing butier. "It would be rather impractical." said Mr. Carlisle last night, "to accuse tho butler of the theft. He may not really have run away, but may only be out for tho evening. If he doesn't show up In 24 hours I shall swear out a warrant for his arrest." Mocujyocir Exrnxsns.

G. 0. P. DELEGATES FLOCK TO GHICAGO Gov. Allen Will Make Nomination Speech for Wood According to Plans. Ily Associated Pre?9: CHICAGO, May 2D. Delegates to the republican national convention from all sections of the countrj flocked into Chicago today. A majority of the early arrivals n ere from southern states, and a large portion were negroes contesting for seats in the convention from states where the race question has been an issue in the party's organization. Tho national committees hearing on JLZZ contests will start on Monday, and the arrivals button-holed members of the party's governing body at every opportunity to present advance argununts for their claims that the campaign managers for the announced presidential aspiranLi were perfecting their plans for the actual work in the convention. To Make Speedies. Shortly after Wood headquarters announced that Gov. Henry- j. Allen of Kansas, had been selected to make the principal nominating speech for Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, it was announced that George H. Walker of Seattle had been chosen to perform a similar office for fcfen. Miles Poindexter of Washington. These announcements complcte-d the list of the presidential candidates, except Lowdon and Hoover. Clarence R. Miller, acting secretary of the national committee was busy throughout the day arranging the rooms and offices of the committee 'at the coliseum annex, in anticipation of their active use on Monday. Ho also was concerned in seeing that the business of tho committee was in shaxe for Will H. Hays, chairman of the committee, who will arrive from the east tomorrow. Mr. Hays' fist official act will be to entertain the newspaper correspondents at a luncheon. After this function he will discuss -with those members of the committee who may be here the selection of a permanent chairman for the convention. Several Proxies. Not all members of the committee will bo hero for the opening of the contest hearings. Several proxies have been arranged for, but the exact number probably will not be known until the committee formally assembles. One of the .absentees will be tfen. Frank B. Kellojg of Minnesota. He visited headquarters today and arranged for a proxy, announcing that an engagement in St. Paul on Monday and a promise, to make same speeches In Iowa next week for Sen. Cummins would keep him. away from Chicago until next Friday. One of the problems which confronts the committee is the reducing of over-iei delegations to ? sizo which will permit of their being seated in the space reserved for delegates. This has placed several of the deleg-ations in a quandary. RAPS AMERICAN MACHINE METHOD Pall Mall Gazette Comments on President Wilson's I Veto. eace By Associated Press: LONDON. May 2D. The only London nwpaper thus far to comment on Pres't Wilson's peace veto is the Pall Mall Gazette, which introduces the subject with reference to Ambassador Davis' speech yesterday at Portsmouth. The paper says: "Mr. Davis, the American ambassador, offered us some reassurance yesterday a? to his country's interest in international affairs and ita concern for the ideals embodied in the League of Nations. His official ties preclude him from mentioning the most solid reason why America's present attitude should not be taken too deeply to heart by these who expected her to set a more inspiring example. "When America I55 electioneering she is always handicapped by the necessity of politicians propitiating the baser sorts of particularism."

MAKES SENATE DEMOCRATS PLAN TO SOFTEN WILSON ARMENIANREQUEST Measure Draws Fire From Senators During Session Saturday. Hy Ajsoclkted Trpss: WASHINGTON. May 2 9. Pr.es t Wilson's request that congress authorize a mandate over Armenia came under fire from both democrats and republicans today when the resolution to deny such an authorization was brought up 'In the senate. From the democratic side, however, came a proposal to soften the resolution by adding a provision extending American aid in the economic upbuilding of tho new eastern rtpublic. The plan was taken under advisement by the republican leaders. In order that senators might have an opportunity to study it, an agreement was made to defer until Monday any attempt to set a date for a vote. Ilitclieock'M lToposal. Under the suggested provision which was presented by Sen. Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader in the treaty fight, a Joint commission of Americans and Armenians would be authorized to supervise the sale here of JSO.OQO.OOO in Armenian bonds. The proceeds w ould go to the purchase of railroad and agricultural materials and similar equipment and to the establishment of an Armenian banking system. In urging his proposal. Sen. Hitchcock said he felt that the resolution as reported by tho foreign relations committee would have the effect of "discouraging" the Armenian people. Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, replied that proposals to aid Armenia would be received with much sympathy on his side of the chamber, but added that there were many ways in which aid could be extended. Hold Brief Discussion. There was only a brief discussion of tho merits of the president's request, which Son. Hitchcock eaid he did not intend to supportSeveral other democratic senators also Indicated their disapproval, but Sen. Williams, democrat, Mississippi, declared the United States would be unfaithful to its responsibilities if it declined to take the mandate. Sens. Jones of New Mexico and Robinson of Arkansas, democrats, said the resolution involved an important question and a vote should not be taken without giving it serious consideration. The former called attention to the fact that the committee had presented no written rebort. Sen. Lodge reported that the matter had been considered for months and only lack of time and a belief that the reasons for refusing a mandate wero so plain a "child could understand them" were responsible for the absence c a formal, report.
