NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1878 HICKMAN PLEADS . oe U.S.Asks France to Help Unite All Nations in Peace Pact)JUD: HARDY THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE G== _ BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS NOT GUILTY. CLAIMS INSANI _—_——— SUGGESTION OF BRIAND IS PLAN'S BASIS Secretary Kellogg Says Pro- posal Offers ‘Signal Contri- bution to Peace’ AWAIT FRENCH ANSWER If Agreeable, U.S. Would En- gage in Conversations With Over Nations Washington, Jan. 4.—(AP)— France has been asked by the state | department to share with the United States a mission to unite all prin- cipal nations in “renouncing war as an instrament of national policy. The proposal for joint leadership, springing from the suggestion of Foreign Minister Briand for a Franco-American treaty outlawing war, is put forward by Secretary Kellogg as offering opportunity for a “more signal contribution to world peace by joining in an effort to ob- tain the adherence of all of the prin- cipal powers of the world,” in a re- nunciation of war. With the offer to France went a draft treaty to replace the Root ar- bitration treaty which expires next February 27. Its preamble includes a@ proposed declaration against re- sort to war, and copies of it have been sent to the British and Japan-] | ese governments. It will be sent to all ‘other powers with which this country has Root treaties and will serve as a model on which the state department hopes to base multi- lateral pacts of perpetual friendship. A Counter Suggestion Mr. Kellogg’s offer is in the na- ture of a counter suggestion to the Briand draft treaty which proposes that France and America condemn recourse to war and agree to settle- ment by pacific means of all dis- putes between them. Offering the substitute proposal in a note to the French governments, instead of con- tenting. thomselves with a bi-lateral declaration against war, might bet- ter serve world peace by uniting all other powers in the same cause with similar treaties. “If the government of France is willing to join the government of the United States in this endeavor,” Mr. Kellogg wrote, “and to enter|_ with the United States and other principal powers of the world into an appropriate multi-lateral treaty, I shall happy to engage at once in conversations looking to the prep- aration of a draft treaty following the lines suggested by M. Briand for submission by France and the United States jointly to the other nations of the world.” Ambassador Claudel has discussed the peace treaty suggestions with Secretary Kellogg and at future con- ferences doubtless will be able to clear up quickly questions raised in Paris concerning phases of the sub- stitute offered for the Root arbitra- tion pact. These questions are un- derstood to concern the future status of the treaty in the event the Amer- ican senate should refuse to ratify an arbitration award, and the exact consequences of the American reser- vation which would exclude from arbitration disputes involving a third party.

MANY MARINES [Democrats to View White House Hopes at Jackson ARE KILLED IN REBEL ATTACKS Nicaraguan Liberal Says American Authorities With- hold Exact Figures SANDINO HAS 1,500 MEN Rebel Leader Plans to Continue Fighting Until Marines Leave Nicaragua Washington, Jan. 4.—(AP)— Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, introduced a resolution today in connection with the ‘Slee bone situation declaring the policy of the United States to be opposed to forced inter- vention in protection of Ameri- can interests in foreign lands. Mexico City, Jan. 4.—()—Pedro Zepeda, Nicaraguan liberal, today gave out a statement regarding casualties of American marines _in Nicaragua. Zepeda represented Dr. Jus Sacasa, Nicaraguan liberal r, in Mex! peda said several hundred United States marines had been killed in the past six months in fighting between them and followers of the rebel General Augustino Sandino. He asserted American au- thorities were withholding the exact figures on casualties, although Nica- raguan mire frequently printed stories of the clashes and listed the marine dead and wounded. Zepeda said he received a report from Sandino of a battle at Tel- paneca, where 250 of Sandino’s men, commanded by Noel Francisco Men- doza, exterminated a garrison of 80 marines .and native constabulary. This was done, Zepeda asserted, in a bloody encounter which lasted The marines, heradd- ed, font bravely until the last one was killed. Has Dynamite Planted Zepeda quoted Sandino as declar- ing that he knew he was waging a losing fight but that he had buried several tons of dynamite at various points in the country to blow him- self up when everything was lost, in order that all traces of where Sandino was should be lost to the marines, Zepeda said Sandino started fight- ing for Sacasa at Puert- Cabezas with 150 badly armed men and at the present time his forces consist of 1,500 men with the cream of the intellectual youth of Nicaragua en- rolled among them. The anti-aircraft guns used by Sandino are Sandino’s own inven- tion, Zepeda asserted. The result of residential elections next August will be mean- ingless as far as Sandino is con- cerned, Zepeda said. The rebel leader will continue to fight until the marines abandon Nicaragua, he declared. : Zepeda believes that the elections themselves will be fair.

Twelve hundred invitations have gone out to prominent Democrats in the nation, and the fact that the national committee goes into ses: sion on the same day to decide time .and place for the national con: vention is expected to draw a host of acceptances... . ‘ The present get-together will of- fer a decided contrast to. the situa- tion eight years ago. Then the Democratic party had been in power for eight years, Woodrow Wilson still was in the White House and the Democratic donkey was surfeited with political favor. It was at that last Jackson day dinner that Wilson and Bryan part- ed company on whether League of Nations should. be. made an issue at the coming election, and it was there that Gov. James. M. Cox of Ohio entered the 1920 campaign. Now, after eight years in whict the Republican pachyderm has held the favored spot, the Democratic donkey has heard the call to arms of the presidential. campaign in President Coolidge’s “I do not choose to run” statement, and it is gauging its possibilities for leader- ship.
