Pres ident Wilson has tossed another football into the gridiron ot treaty controversy. His request that con gress accept the mandate or trus teeship over the newly established republic of Armenia revives the pro and con of the League of Na tions debate, though in this in stance the president uses the ex pressed interest of the senate in the fate of Armenia as a vehicle for the introduction of concrete measures of assistance for the dis tressed Armenians. The action of tbe president was received with mingled surprise and doubt in tbe ranks of the Democrats, as well as Republicans. The president took no one in his confidence. He neith er consulted leaders of his own party in congress as to the proba ble sentiment there, nor did he broach the matter to certain mem bers of the cabinet who would be vitally concerned with the admin istration of a mandate should it be accepted. The feeling persists that Mr. Wil son Is merely following out a mor al commitment which he entered into at Paris in his informal con versations with the statesmen of Europe. At that time he felt abso lutely sure that America would do her part In preserving the peace of the world and particularly in help ing to their feet the people of the newly liberated countries like Ar menia. The president's task in acting as arbitrator of the Armen ian boundaries Is strictly within the executive's Jurisdiction and in volves no consent on the part of congress. Mr. Wilson has, however, kept his promise to submit to con gress any mandates, the acceptance of which he has said would always he ay legislative fuvctiotv; &1mmwm latereated. Congress isn't especially inter ested in Armenia, however, or any (Continued on page four). ODDS LAID FOR NEXT ELECTION (Br United Press.) New York, May 26.

Fol lowing; the receipt last night of the report rendered by the commission named by Gener als Obregon and Gonzales to conduct an Inquiry into the killing: of President Carranza, General Obregon decided upon the innovation and requested the managing; editors of the newspapers Universal, Excel sior, Heraldo and Democrats, to appoint one reporter each to conduct a fall and impartial investigation, i Mexico City, May 26. Formal in vestigation to clarify the part tak en in the death ot President Car ranza both by Colonel Rodolfo Herrero and members of the Car ranza party, is recommended by a commission ot four named by Gen erals Obregon and Gonzales to in quire into the tragedy at Tlaxca- lantongo. The commission's report which is the first authoritative story ot the death of Carranxa, may be sum' marised as follows: T "Colonel .Hmwrrt fined tfiear- ranza party at Putla, state of Pu ebla. on May 20, having promised to defend Carranza. Herrero' Leads Way. Tvhen Carranza reached Tlax calantongo, he was led by Her rero to the hut where he was to sleep. Herrero was with Carranza when bds in this shelter were as signed to the president his minis ters and aides. Other members of the party were taken to other: houses. Before retiring, Carranza ordered Captain Suarez, one of his aides, to assist in placing sentinels, all of whom were Herrero's men. "Herrero later told Carranza that a messenger had informed him his brother was injured and left the village, promising to return. At 3 o'clock on the morning of May 21, three of Herrero's men entered the president's hut, stating they had been ordered to report to him what the situation was. Carranza lis tened to them and then told them to leave. - Act Held As Rose. (The report says this move was probably for the purpose of ascer taining if all in the hut, were in bed and whether Carranza had changed his position.) "Half an hour later the hut was attacked from all sides. "iTeeident Carranza was heard to cry: "'I can't get up; my leg is brok en.' "He then begged for a carbine so that he could defend himself, but was answered by a volley which ended his life instantly. Sign Suicide Beport. 1 "The other occupants of the hut fled, as did those in the other shel ters. Herrero captured many of the party. Four or five of these nrisoners were forced to sign a statement that Carranza had com mitted suicide." These facts are alleged to "prove a conspiracy was prepared in ad vance by Herrero, which inspired confidence in him by Carranza and ended in tbe president's betrayal." - Two Yanks Held. Washington, May 26. Two Amer icans, Homer Carr, and a man nam ed MacDonald, have been - taken prisoners at Jiminez, Chihuahua, according to a report to the state department today from the Amer ican consul at Chihuahua. No de tails were given. Prisoners Reprimanded. Mexico City, May 26. (By the Associated Press.) Mexican offi cials and military officers who ac companied President Carranza in his flight into the mountains of Puebla were censured by General Alvaro Obregon yesterday.

House As BestPre-War Envoy Berlin, May 25. Colonel E. M. House was recommended to the German foreign office by Count von Bernstorff, then German ambassa dor to Washington, when House made his second trip to Europe early in 1916 as President Wilson's personal representative, according to letters from the ambassador to Gottlieb von Jagow, at that time foreign secretary. These letters have been publish ed here with other documents pre sented before the parliamentary in vestigating committee which re cently, inquired into President Wil son's peace proposals during the war. "Xeutral and Discreet." "Viewed from the local stand point," Count von Bernstorff wrote on Nov. 23, 1915, on the eve of the colonel's departure, "the mission of Colonel House appears to me desir able, especially as the United States is so poorly represented in Berlin. Colonel House is wholly neutral, very discreet and deserv ing." A letter from Dr. Solf, minister of colonies, to Dr. von Jagow quot ed Mr. House as describing Vis count Grey, then British secretary SIX SLAIN WHEN ROME STUDENTS DATTLE POLICE Rome, May 25. At least six per sons were killed and more than thirty wounded in the clash be tween royal guards and students which marked the close' of yester day's celebration of fifth anniver sary of Italy's entry into the world war, according to reports from re liable sources. Other reports place the number of dead at a still high er figure. As a consequence ot the disturb ance, the police today took into custody all residents of Dalmatia and Fiume, who were in Rome, with the view of repatriating them or sending them to places where it would be impossible to instigate disorders by using their claims. The government press attributes the clash to an anti-government campaign, while the opposition newspapers say the government was responsible for the tragedy. Rome, May 24. Excitement pre vailed after a clash this afternoon between royal guards and students in which four guardsmen and one student were killed and others wounded. Among the injured were two women. Students engaged in a demon stration celebrating the fifth anni versary of Italy's entrance into the war, attempted to reach the Quir inal to conduct a manifestation of loyalty to the king. It appears the trouble began when Socialists tried to break up a loyalty demonstration by stu dents. The street fighting oc curred later, but witnesses have asserted none of the students en gaged in the demonstration was armed. DANIELS FEARS STEAM ROLLER Washington, May 26.

It was said he declared Vis count Grey was "ready to negotiate and his imminent retirement from the British cabinet would not only be undesirable, but liable to prove fatal to Germany. Iil-Will Alleged. Colonel House was alleged to have told Dr. Solf there was a strong anti-American feeling in England at that time and that "Ger many was not aware of the extent to which unfriendly notes were be ing exchanged between Washington and London." A letter from Baron von Der Lancken, German governor of Brussels to Count Montgelas, brief ly reported a conversation the for mer had with Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, in January, 1916, after Mr. Whitlock's return from the United States. The American minister was report ed to have said President Wilson had assured him in a confidential talk he was "no sworn foe of Ger many," and that "on the contrary, the destruction or political weak ening of Germany would not be to the interest of the United States." METHODISTS IN DISPUTE OVER AMUSEMENTS Des Moines. Iowa, May 26. A distinct division of opinion regard ing the amusement paragraph in the discipline of tbe Methodist church is shown by the tiling with tfie general conference of a minor ity report which recommends that the paragraph be removed. . The majority report asks that the par agraph be retained. ..

It is the opinion ot members of the committee that this paragraph suf ficiently defines the attitude of the church as against such diversions. REDS ADVANCE ALONG DNIEPER London, May 26.
