    GENERAL WOOD'S
■ NAME TO BE PUT
TO CONVENTION
Army Chief Will Be Proposed
at Party Gathering by New
'* Hampshire, Says Senator
Washington, May s.—ln the opin
ion of Senator Moses of New Hamp
shire, a Browing sentiment is spread
ing throughout tne Republican party
for the nomination of General Leon
ard Wood as the party's candidate for
President in 1920. Senator. Moses
says New Hampshire will offer Gen.
Wood's name at the Republican Con
vention as a favoraite son, and he be
lieves that the General, if nominated
would be elected.
Senator Moses says sentiment for
General Wood is developing in all
the New Kngland states, as well as
throughout the West. He finds "more
sentiment of the kind that elects
Wood than any other who has been
mentioned as a nominee in 1020." The
only question, he says, is whether the
demand among the party's voters can
he "transmuted into the kind of sen
timent that produces delegates and
nominates Presidents."
Senator Moses says New Hamp
shire has prior claim to General
Wood, as he was born in that State,
but that Massachusetts also backs
him, as he entered the army from
that State, while Kansas lias given
him her citizenship.
"He will go to the convention," de
clares the Senator, "like Grant from
Appomatox and its famous apple
tree, supported by a nation-wide cir
cle of friends and, if nominated will 1
be elected." i
The drift in the Republican Party
toward General Wood the Senator
says, "is readily explainable."
"The people." he said, "are turning
away from Wilson, who will return
home sadly diminished in spite of the
League of Nations and its initial ses
sion to be held in Washington."

FRENCH FROST
Bitter Teuton Expresses Dis
gust at Treatment Accorded
Huns by the Frenchmen
Berlin, May 5. Newspapermen
with the German peace delegation at
• Versailles are sending generally conser
vative accounts of their experiences, but
Schuermann. the correspondent of the
German Gazette who wielded a bitter
pen during the war, does not disguise
his disgust nt the treatment given the
Germans by the French.
He tells of a stenographer who sought
to purchase tooth powedr at a drug
i store and "nearly caused a diplomatic
! breach," the incident ending with her
explusion from the store. The writer
| says that American correspondents, "be
lieving they could move about as freely
I as they do in Berlin," tried to interview
I a member of the German delegation on
| Its arrival but were sharply denied the
privilege.
I Schuermann complains of the high
| prices, especially since the German mark
; must be transformed in francs, and says
" j the charge for making the exchange is
1 ; exorbitant. He closes by saying:
t j "Frenchmen are ueither to petty nor
, ' proud to to cheap business with enemy
, j delegates."

Pershing's Inspection
They were talking about General
Pershing's inspection of the 28th
Division at Company I barracks to
day and they told about a little in
terview between the commander of
'(the A. E. F. and Ralph Garrett, of
the company. General Pershing in

the sleeve indicated the fact and
when General Pershing passed Gar
rett he asked where he had been
wounded.
"I wasn't wounded sir," Garrett
. replied.
"But you are wearing a stripe,"
■ General Pershing remarked.
! "The overcoat isn't mine, sir,"
i Garrett explained.
Private Charles Ryan, 1536 Ver

I By CARTER. GLASS
Secretary of the Treasury
Washington, May s.—The Victory Liberty Loan campaign is two
thirds over, but subscriptions have been reported for little more than
i one-third of the loan.
Is it conceivable that the American people, who with heart and
' soul waged the tight for freedom, will permit this loan of victory and
I thanksgiving to fail?
Our sons gave of their health, of their strength and of their lives
i that freedom might not perish. There* are one and a half million
American boys in France and Germany. Now that the war is ended,
it would be as reasonable for them to dishonor the nation by desert
j ing the flag as for the nation to dishonor itself by deserting them. Is
it a large thing that we now are asked to lend our money to pay the
| cost of victory? Is American money less willing than American man
hood ?
Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty Bonds buy-
Victory notes and success is sure.
