Capper of Kansas will offer a reso

employment of non-forcible sanc

that the United States shall estab

such a nation and invests the Pres

covenant. No provision to resort
to force is contemplated.

of heroism in the daring rescue of
58 men from two helpless freight

the Alloway the day before.
Conflicting reports were told of
the rescue by both the Ulinios and
Nankoh Maru. which have been
standing by helplessly since Tues

The Illinois arrived yesterday.
Rough seas kept both of the res
