Washington, May 12. Republican senators continued today to discuss plans for organization of the new senate preparatory to the meeting of the party caucus Wednesday. The conferences centered about the op position of the progressive group of senators to the selection of sena tors Penrose of Pennsylvania and Warren of Wyoming as chairmen of the : finance and appropriation committes, respectively. ' Only Few Radicals. Leaders of both the regular and progressive groups tonight said the' situation apparently was unchanged except as to the number of the latter group willing to carry their opposition to Senators Penrose and Warren to the floor of the senate. Several- senators considered as belonging to the regular group as serted that but two or.three pro gressives would carry their attack to the floor, while the progressives said they did not know how many of them "would go the limit." Senator Borah of Idaho, leader of the forces opposing Senators Pen rose and Warren, said he would "never vote for Penrose," but added that he was unable to speak for the others, who declined to say whether they would go beyond the party Conference. The progressives were said to have, admitted their willingness to support Senator Smoot of Utah for the appropriations committee but refused to favor him as president pro tern. The Utah senator was understood among both groups as willing not to seek election as "president pro tern; Senators Johnson of Califor niaand Lenroot of Wisconsin were mentioned by the progressives as ac ceptable to them tor president pro tem, but neither has signihed a will ingness to seek the office. Notice Given Lodge. Formal notice of the attitude of the progressive group was given to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re publican leader, by Senators Borah and Johnson, and it was understood that thev were told by the party leader that their fight was solely one for consideration at Wednesday s conference.

General Plank has been in the field with his command of 300 cavalry and is reported to be scour-. ing the Sierra Azul district, where the bandits were believed to have sought refuge, with great thorough ness. - . As a precautionary measure, two troops of the First United Mates cavalry, under command of Maj.

Hickok, command ing the Arizona military district. Other border patrols to the, west of here are understood to have been strengthened also. The Sonora government is report ed to be taking similar precautionary measures by sending small bo lies of soldiers to the mining camps and border towns of northern Sonora with orders to co-operate with the civil officials, should it be ' found necessary to repel bandit attacks.

Paris. May 12. The German del egation has handed the council of four the German plan tor a league of nations. The plan was drawn up by Professor Schueckin, and the principal feature is an international parliament composed or ten rep resentatives from each nation.' The first exchange between Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau and the al lies was considered a preliminary skirmish to the main battle and as disclosing the allied position as, in effect: Accept the treaty as. it stands, or reject, one or the other, as there is no middle ground. . This was the prevailing view in conference circles generally after the four notes had been anal, zed The head of the German deleg tion also was thought to accept this construction, as reports were that he was giving his chief attention to the formulation of a complete treaty ot peace which he would pre sent as a counter project in about five days, . instead of seeking to amend or modify tl. i terms of the allied treaty. ,v - (Since the foregoing was written however, the two additional notes by Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau were dispatched.) This counter-treaty woGld be treated the same as the German plans for a league of nations, neither of which will be considered,- the only question being the acceptance or rejection of the allied treaty. The German project for a league of nations, which the reply to Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau said had been referred to a committee, had not reached the 'committee 'on' the league of nations today, but mem bers of the committee said it was generally known to have been drawn bv Professor bchuecking ot the Ger man delegation, and that it was in the form of a general thesis on the merits of a world parliament which would seek to bring about the pro. portionate limitation of armaments of aH nations alike, on sea as well as on land, and an equality tf economic conditions bringing about a sort of economic brotherhood. t "The project," a member of the committee said, "has only academic interest, as the committee will nt examine or consider it, for it has no purpose to let the Germans confuse the allied project, which has unani mous support.
