Pershing, whose name will enter the pages of history as America's outstanding military figure in the greatest of all wars, was welcomed to the heart of Arizona yesterday, and probably 30,000 persons got a glimpse of the man to whom the United States entrusted the lives of her soldier legions.

During his twelve-hour visit the American commander made nine speeches, saluted welcoming throngs at every hand, lauded the industry which he saw during his whirlwind trip, sympathized with mothers who lost; sons in the war, preached the lesson of patriotism to school children, danced for an hour with Phoenix maids and matrons, and in an address to the men of Phoenix took occasion again to sponsor the work and spirit of the, American Legion.

Kfforts to break Hie peace treaty deadlock l.v unofficial bi-partisan negotiation, ended suddenly in failure today, and democratic senate leaders began preparations to bring; the treaty back into the open senate for consideration. It -was over the long debated article 10 that the bi-partisan movement, after bringing republicans and democrats together on many collateral issues, finally met disaster.

Tentative agreement. Senator Hitchcock said, had been reached by the committee on the preamble and 12 of the 14 proposed reservations, the onlj subjects remaining at issue being article ifl and the Monroe doctrine.

Senator Lodge maintained that there were in all six of the 14 on which no agreement, even of a tentative nature, had been made.

In rejecting the proposed substitute.

Senator Lodge reiterated his announcement that no change at all would be considered in the article 10 reservation drafted by the republicans at the last session of congress. -Agreeing to final-y disagree, the conference then broke up in less than an hour after it had w-gun.

The sec ond week of the trial of the five suspended socialist assemblymen, charge.1, with disloyalty, ended tonight with counsel for the assembly judiciary committee still -unable to state when they would be able to complete presentation of their case. This morning was consumed with a general exposition of socialism and iis history since 1SI4. but this afternoon the prosecution read into the record volumes of documentary evidence bearing on the anti-war program of the socialist party and the attitude of the socialist delegation in the assembly toward war legislation. Committee counsel also went into the socialist doctrine that political action should be backed with industrial action, and obtained from Algernon Lee of New York, treasurer of the socialist state committee, an admission that under certain conditions socialists considered a general strike a justifiable political weapon.

A speeding up of proceedings followed a report that a fifth effort might be.made in the lower house next Monday night to reseat the ousted members and discharge the judiciary committee.

30 Additional credits of $50,000,000 for food relief in certain European countries, to be named later, was decided on today bv the republican majority members of the house ways and means committee at an informal conference. Secretary Glass, supported by President Wilson, recently asked for $150,000,000. After the informal agreement had been reached. Chairman Fordney called a meeting foi tomorrow of the full committee to consider final action. Leading democratic committeemen, including Representatives Kitchin, North Carolina and Garner, Texas, who were anions the first to suggest the fiftv million dollars as a maximum authorization, are counted on by the republican members to support the proposal which also has approval of some members of the republican legislative steering committee.

The agreement among the republican committeemen came after an earlier conference with the steering committee, at which varied opinions on the treasury proposal of larger loan authorization was expressed, including opposition to any new loans. Some of the republicans favored a larger sum than $50,000,000 but the majority opinion seemed to support that amount. While no agreement was attempted at either of the conference to determine whether the legislation shall specify the countries to get the loans, some effort in this direction may be made at the ways and means committee meeting tomorrow. Proponents of the fund suggested that amount primarily to relieve starvation in Austria, to supplement private charity to the Armenians and alleviate distress in l.ludapest.

How the couriers of soviet Russia, carrying funds to finance its propaganda in America, ran the gauntlet of death and imprisonment in the surrounding states of Europe, was a story half told then abandoned today by Ludwig C. A. K. Marten, soviet agent in the United States, before the senate foreign relations sub-committee investigating Russian propaganda.

Claims Diplomatic Immunity Martens flatly declined to answer further questions put him by the'eom-mittee on the subject of couriers, and left it to consider whether or not his plea of "diplomatic immunity" from further examination should be. allowed, while he west on to recount his personal activities in endeavoring to get hts government recognized by the state department and in placing provisional contracts for $25,000,000 worth of food, clothing and machinery with American business houses. This latter effort, he said, had resulted in placing two or three letters before President Wilson, urging recognition though the state department has remained firm in its refusal to recognize him in any way. Out of 2ti of the mysterious messengers who started during the last year from Moscow with funds and letters to him. Martens said, seven had gotten through the barriers of armies and international frontiers.

Several had been shot, summarily in Finland "Three that I know about," Martens said casually, of ten who tried to get through Germany, nine were caught and jailed. The first man to reach him. however, carried $30,000 and his credentials as soviet ambassador to the United States. The couriers carried money in the form of Finnish marks, or Scandinavian currency. Martens said, and had various varieties of passports.

Altogether. finti.OOO had come to him through tlje underground route and also an instruction, so he said, not to spend any of the money "on politics or the support of internal fatcions or parties in the United States." A list of contracts for goods entered into by Martens was submitted to the committee with the explanation that the firms named had agreed to furnish tie goods only upon condition that they were given licenses by the state department to export the products to soviet Russia. Only $10,000 had been paid on the contracts.

Martens said, and none of the goods had been shipped. "You depended on the relations opened with American business concerns, to helii yon irt recognition Chairman asked.

Ellis, attorney employed to conduct the investigation, has recovered from his illness. At the outset of the hearing today, former Senator Hardwick of Georgia, counsel for Martens, told the committee that Martens would present true copies of all communications between himself and the soviet government, but that it was desired that of the letters be considered in executive session, as it might involve the safety of persons who have kept open the li tes of communication between Martens and his government.

Many of the replies, said one official who had looked them over, probably as many as fifty per cent, indicate that the writers contemplate either leaving their farms or curtailing acreage under cultivation, because of one or more of the three major grievances and because of the growing feeling against non-producing city dwellers.
