HAYS SAYS WILL
BRING HARMONY
INTO G.O. P. RANKS
Chairman Will Visit Leaders of
All Factions for Confer
ences to Pave Way to
Understanding.
(Br Anoetetod Preu.)
Washington, Feb. 27. Chairman
Hays of the republican national
committee, here tonight for the first
of a series of meetings with party
leaders, laid plans for what he de
clared will be harmonious co-operation
between the national committee,
and the congressional campaign com
mittee and announced his intention
while here of seeing republicans re
gardless of their former affiliations
in the party.
Mr. Hays said all factions have been
or will be eliminated during his ad
ministration of party affairs. He
told of calling on Charles E. Hughes,
and Colonel Roosevelt in New York,
and of receiving a message from
former President Taft congratulating
him on his election to the chairman
ship. ."It does not make a bit of difference
how a man voted in 1912 or in 1914
or in 1916," Mr. Hays said. "We are
all together now and while in Wash
ington I shall see all republicans who
desire to see me."
Plans for harmonizing the party
and bringing about co-operation
between the two committees were
discussed at a reception given by the
congressional campaign committee.
Representative Woods of Iowa,
chairman of the congressional com
mittee, had met Mr. Hays at the
railroad station,
War Paramount Issue.
In an address at the reception, Mr.
Hays declared the winning of the
war to be the paramount considera
tion of everybody at this time.
"I know that we all agree that the
winning of the war and preparations
for tbe reconstruction which is to
follow, is our only real business and
that everything else is chores," he
he said. " On the question of the
war there is but one side. On that
side, supporting the country's cause,
shall stand every political party and
every member of every political party
entitled to any consideration whatso
ever. I believe that the mission of
America is about to be accomplished."
New York, Feb. 26. William H.
Havs. chairman of the republican
committee, had a half-hour conference
with Colonel lheodore Kooseveit
today at the hospital where the for
mer president is convalescing from
two operations which he underwent
several weeks ago.
Mr. Hays said his talk with the
colonel was in the nature of con
gratulations over the former presi
dent's recovery.
,, To Visit Leaders.
"It was neither the time nor place
to talk politics," he said, "but I felt
it my duty as the chief executive
officer or the republican organization,
to pay my respects to the colonel.
For the most part our conservation
was devoted to the war."
"It is my intention to see everyone
Penrose, Smoot and Johnson and
endeavor to bring about an under-
standing among the leaders of the
republican party. I expect to return
to New York Friday and at that
time I will use my best efforts to
have the leaders in the party consult
with me."

BONAR LAW SAYS
ALLIES' SUCCESS
IS NOW ASSURED
Lord Northcliffe Declares Has
Studied War 20 Years and
Does Not Fear Teuton
Bluff.
(By Associated Press.)
London, Feb. 27. Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer,
spoke confidently of the progress of
the war at a luncheon held in the Aid
wich club today, which was presided
over by Lord Northcliffe.
Lord Northcliffe said he had studied
the coming of the war for 20 years
and was not afraid of the German
bluff. The Germans had not succeeded
in driving the people of the British
race, or the race coming from across
the Atlantic out of anywhere.
Not to End Soon.
Mr. Bonar Law said it was obvious
the war was not going to end soon.
Germany's conduct in the Russian
negotiations," the chancellor added,
"shows that it still is determined to
carry out the policy with which it
entered, the war he conquest of
neighboring territories and peoples."
Pacfiists Few.
The chancellor declared that the
pacfists of England were very small
in number. "If it were possible to
have an election on the plain issue,
'shall we go on with the war until we
have secured the results for which we
entered it?'" he added, "the result
would astonish us and our enemies."
Negro Soldiers Cause
Near Riot in Mess Hall
Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 27. Twenty-six
negro soldie.rs of the 5 12th en
gineer service battalion are in the
guard house at Camp Pike awaiting
court martial as a result of a riot in
a mess hall at the camp this morning.
A white noncommissioned officer
suffered a painful but not serious
scalp wound. - ' -
According to division headquarters
the trouble stafted when a negro re
fused to obey the order of a white
sergeant to return to his place in line
while breakfast was being issued.
The negro, flourishing a razor,
climbed over the counter after the ser
geant. White corporals arid sergeants
came to the rescue and a free-for-all
fight followed with, the air filled with
dishes.
A flying wedge of noncommissioned
officers dragged the negro leaders out
of the building and ended an affair
that was fast assuming serious pro
portions. Shumway Urges U. S.
Commandeer Packing Plants
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Feb. 27. (Special.) Com
mandeering of the packing houses is
urged by Land Commissioner Grant
Shumway, who today sent a tele
gram to Food Administrator Hoover
at Washington as follows:
"Responding to your urgent re
quest and replying upon the govern
ment through you, farmers have fed
high priced feed to stock purchased
at high prices. Result is that some
have lost even their household furni
ture. Others will lose much and still
others be entirely stripped unless the
government takes immediate action.
An error of policy now will make
shortage of food next year. The gov
ernment must not break faith with,
and bankrupt food producers. Sug
gest commandeering the packing
houses and authorize purchase of fat
stock at prices that will let feeders
break even."
LIQUOR DEBATE
HOT AFFAIR IN
NEW YORK HOUSE

Country Argue for and Against
Ratification of Federal
Amendment.
(By Associate Frcss.)
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 27. For more
than five hours yesterday a crowded
audience in the room and galleries of
the assembly chamber of the state
capitol heard men of international
reputation argue for and against the
ratification by the New York legisla
ture of the federal prohibition amend
ment. William Jennings Bryan led
the prohibition forces. His principal
opponent was Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, who was seconded by former
United States Senator Bailey of
Texas.
The hearing wis held before joint
legislative committees, to which the
ratification resolution bad been re
ferred. At the close of the hearing
no indication was given as to what
the committeemen would decide to
report.
Relation to War Argued. .
Prohibition and its relation to the
war was one of the principal argu
ments. Mr. Bryan declared that it
was vital to the success of the United
States and its allies that this country
send men clean in mind and body to
the battle front.
Mr. Gompers asserted that in the
present crisis the people of the coun
try had enough to do in the fighting
line by opposing the central powers,
and that their attention from this
most important subject should not be
diverted by any measure less vital.
Opponents of the ratification as
serted that the federal amendment
was unconstitutional in that it would
give both. federal and states concur
rent jurisdiction in enforcing the pro
hibitory clause.

Crucial Test Is Drawing
Near, Says Army Officer
Boston. Feb. 27. "The day of the
big effort on the western front is
rapidly drawing near, and we who
are at home must prepare to meet
the calamity howlers and the pacifist
with a stern countenance," declared
Brigadier General John A. Johnston,
commander of the department of the
northeast, in a statement today.
"With the arrival of our wounded.
after the first great encounter with
the enemv we must anticipate the
excited outcry of those who are paid
to spread sedition and hysteria, lie
public must be ready to challenge
them with the contempt tney de
serve.
Bishop Says German People
As Bad as Kaiser William
Sorinsrfield. 111.. Feb. 27. Denounc
ing Germang as the mad dog of the
world, Bishop William A. Quayle of
St Louis, speaking before a patri
otic meeting here tonight, declared
that the people should awake to the
fact that there could be no discrimin
ation between the kaiser and the
German people. '
"One is as bad as the other," he
asserted, "and the only treatment
that can be accorded is impartial pun
ishment. It is not a question of re
form. Germany cannot be reformed,
but must be brought to her knees
and punished. There has been no
iniquity m the history of the world
so sinful as the infamy of the Prus
sian regime.

TREASON CHARGED
BY GOTHAM COUNCIL
Hot Session Held by Aldermen
When Socialists Object to
War Stamps Resolution
as Unnecessary.
New York, Feb. 27. Accusations of
treason and disloyalty were made
against socialist members of the New
York board of aldermen, during a
meeting of that body today.
The presentation of a resolution to
organize the board into a society for
the sale of war thrift saving stamps
called forth objections from the
socialists, and immediately the meet
ing was in an excited turmoil. Va
rious members denounced the social
ists. Algernon Lee, socialist leader,
was called traitor and threats were
made to expel him.
The resolution was finally adopted
over the negative votes of the seven
socialist alderman.
Not All Patriotic.
In objecting to the measure, pro
posed by a speaker in behalf of the
local war savings thrift stamp com
mittee, Lee said:
"Everything that glitters is not gold,
and everything that is done in the
name of patriotism is not patriotic."
This occasioned the outbreak of con
demnation. Albert Squires declared that the
socialist party had betrayed Russia
and would betray the United States
if it dared.
"What is wanted in the nation and
in the city of New York, is a commit
tee that will use the rope on such
citizens," shouted Alderman Ken
neally. With other members, he sug
gested tbe removal from office of the
seven socialists whom he styled
"traitors and cowards." When Lee at
tempted to proceed, Kenneally, point
ing to a large American flag, turned
upon the socialist leader, shouting,
"I'll take that flag into the side room
and he'll kiss it or he'll go out the
window."
Will Exercise Rights.
This precipitated a demonstration,
but order was restored and Lee con
tinued: "We were elected to speak the
minds of our constituents and we in
tend to do so. I hurl back the epithet
of 'traitor' to those who mouthed it.
.There is no man who stands for the
traditions of Lincoln more than I,
nor of President Wilson's American
ism of the right of every mtn to kick
and kick hard."
