WASHINGTON, 'Mar. ' 12. Presi dent Coolldge threw down the gaunt let to his opponents 'in the senate to day by again submitting the nomina tion of Charles H. Warren to be attor ney general. Without a word of comment, the president sent the nomination back Just in time to have it waiting on the senate doorstep when the day's ses sion began at noon. The decision of the chief executive astonished most of the "senators, in cluding the ranking republican lead ers who had advised the White House that If returned the nomination of Wairen would fare no better than when the senate rejected it on Tues day by a lie vote. u Some old timers in the senate could recall no precedent for the re turn of a cabinet nomination that al ready had failed to command a ma jority. Such a failure itself has not occurred since the days of Andrew Johnson and all told there have been but five previous occasions on which the senate withheld its approval of any man chosen by the president to sit In his officlul family. Butler Advises Action It was Senator Butler of Massachu setts the president's close friend, ele vated by him to the chairmanship of the republican national' committee and recently appointed to the seat formerly held by Henry Ctibqt Lodge, who told Mr. Coolldge that the senate leaders had glvn up too easily. At a .breakfast conference with the execu tive and Mr. Warren and himself M. Butler insisted that the votes for con firmation could be obtained and should be obtained. Mr. Coolldge and the nominee lis tened attentively to the new presenta tion of the case. Then the president turned to Mr. Warren and left it to him to decide whether the Issue should bo fought out to a finish or considered closed. Mr. Warren decided in favor of a fight. No sooner had news of the decision reached the cupltol than the enemies of the Warren appointment began preparations to open a battle they thought they already had won. Senutors Walsh of Montuna and Heed of Missouri declared they would make a resistance even more stubborn than that which mustered forty votes on Tuesday's roll call to offset and nulli fy the forty commanded by the ad ministration leaders. . for their part most of the republi can organization leaders declined to comment. They said they would again go through the motions of re ferring the nomination to committee and then bring it to the senate floor. The outcome, they said, could only be determined by the roll call Itself. . WASHINGTON, March 12. The nomination of Charles needier War ren, to be attorney general will ho re-submitted to the senate today by president Coolldge. I opposition Organizes. Meantime, the opposition, which Includes almost the whole democratic tTnemnershlp of the senate, and a group of republican insurgents, also set out to re-orgnnize in such a way as to again block' senate ap proval. dent's decision might result In tne lengthening of tne special session m the senate, which the leaders had hoped to end on Saturday. Upon Its re-submission, the War- ren: nomination will have to travel the regular course through the Ju diciary , committee, which Includes among Its members some of the leading opponents of confirmation.

(By the As sociated Press) No political oration since the founding of the League of Nations has stirred opinion in Jongue circles as the address deliver ed today by Austen Chamberlain, the BritUm foreign secretary, utterly rejecting the Geneva peace proto col. He not only flayed the protocol, which he described ns asking for war rather than peace, but discard ed the Idea of compulsory arbitra tion. Mr. Chamberlain affirmed, In ef fect, that the only "Way of obtain ing security for nations was conclu sion of special defensive arrange ments framed in the spirit of the covenant and operating under league guidance. The comment most often heard after the speech was that it sets back the movement for Interna tional co-operation, and will be liable, to influence Europe to re turn to 'the . old. system o dangerous alliances. ' GENEVA, March 12. (By the As sociated Press.) Speaking to a cham ber so closely packed that there was scarcely breathing space. Austen Chamberlain, British secretary for for eign affairs, delivered his long-heralded discourse on the Geneva protocol for security and disarmament before the council of the League of Nations today. The most Important feature of Mr. Chamberlain's address which out lined the British objections to the protocol, was added by him at the last minute. It was that telegraphic com munication with the British dominions and India showed that Canada, Aus tralia. New Zealand, the Union of South Africa and Indian were also un nble to accept tho protocol. He said that he was not yet In possession of the views of the Irish free state, Mr. Chamberlain said that successive ad ministrations in Great Britain, with tho full approval of the self govern ing dominions not only had In theory favored arbitration wlthrh was one of the features of the protocol, but had practiced it. They had oot only preached disarmament, but had ac tually disarmed to the limit of na tional -safety. They hnd taken a full share In creating and supporting the League of Nations nnd the permanent court of international Justice. If, therefore, continued Mr. Cham berlain, England sny insuperable ob jections to signing and ratifying the protocnl In its present shape, this was not because sho felt herself out of harmony with the purposes the pro tocol was Intended to serve. "Amendment and Interpretation may I nthemselves be destrnble," he udded, "but his majesty's government cannot believe that the protocnl as It stands provides a suitable method of attempt ing that task.'

Chamber lain Presents , Brief to Su preme Court On Compul sory' School Bill Leopold Case Used As Plea. WASHINGTON, Mar. 1 2. Tho states have supreme control over tho education of children residing within iholr borders, the state of Oregon said today in a supplemental reply brief field In tho United States supremo court in Its action to sustain Its com pulsory public school law, by ex Senator Chamberlain. The brief said that tho lower court should have dismissed the action filed against tho law by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jcrus and Mary and the Hill Military Academy. "The question of the wisdom of the Oregon school law is not before this court," the brief said. It asserted also that the opposition was devoted 'to arguments which related to the wisdom of and not the constitutional ity of the law." Not a decision of the supreme court has been cited by the opposition to sustain its contention that the law Is unconstitutional, the brief .said. The brief pays particular attention to the contention of prlvntte and charters that they have a property parochial schools operating under right which cannot be taken away. It said in this particular: "The supreme court has laid down the doctrine, which it has not aban doned that the obligation of the char ter of a corporation was not impaired by any loss, however serious, which a corporation might suffer as the Indi rect result of the exercise of a proper governmental function by the state which chartered it. "No person can claim protection of the federal constitution on the plea thnt he is being deprived of his pro J perty without due process of law be cause of uny loss which may be suf fered as an indirect result -of the exer cise of a proper governmental func tion by a state, regardless of how cer tain op how serious this loss may be." The cry of bolshevism that has been raised, according to the brief, was held to be "absurd und unjustifiable." The killing of Robert Frank, a Chicago schoolboy by two youths, Na than Leopold and Richard Loeb, which was ' brought into the school controversy by the sisters as illustrat ing the need of religious and moral training, brought from the state the reply that the two culprits had been educated in private schools. The supreme court today granted permission to the North Pacific Union conference of Seventh Day Adventutts to file a brief as a friend of the court in the Oregon school case with the consent of both sides. The Advent is ts are conducting thirty-three church schools within the state, and huve Jaoined the Episcopal church, also ap pearing as a friend of the court In at tacking tho 'law. 1 The churches contend that tho new statute would deprive private schools of their natural rights, holding that parents have a common law right to direct the education of their children. The Adventists asserted that Oregon hnd no right to abrogate the vested rights of private schools nnd could not dismiss the' contractural rights of Kchools incorporated under the laws of the state. Tho . schdol law was de nounced as "tho encroachment of misguided powers upon natural and innllnenable rights." WASHINGTON, Mar. 12. "An alarming increase In the criminality of the young,' was attributed today In a brief filed In the supreme court by the Episcopal church domestic and foreign missionary society, to the "ex clusion" of religious influencve in the public schools of the nation. The society appeared as a friend of the court in the suit brought by pri vate and purocial schools to test the validity of the compulsory education laws of Oregon. Should they be sus tained the brief asserted, there was danger other states would adopt sim ilar legislation. FAMOUS WAR SPY CAN'T BE FOUND NEW YORK, March 12. The New York American says today that it has learned that Dr. Armgaard Karl Graves, whose exploits as an Interna tional spy hadwon him world wide fame, has been missing since last Aug ust, when he took a trip to St. Louis to gather lnfmatlon concerning an aileged plot to restore the Hohenzol Ieru to the throne of Germany.
