With the Americans in France, Sun-

Washington, April 14. — Senator
William J. Stone of Missouri, chair
i ’ 11 v ?•■ . . : m gn Relation
Committee and for many years prom-
inent among Democratic leaders, died
here today, after a stroke of paralysis
suffered lust Wednesday.
Senator Slone was in public life
forty-five years und during that long
period probably engaged in bk many
political contests as any man of his
time, ranking all the way from con-
troversies over county offices to the
broadest national issues.
At the entry cif the United States
inb> the war Senator Stone performed
the trying feat of untagonixing his
own party administration and then
realigning himself with it in n gen-
erally satisfactory manner It was in
connection with the hill proposing the
arming of American merchant ships
that he took sharp issue with Presi-
dent Wilson. He stood with the doz-
en senators whose opposition caused
the failure of that measure at the
close of the sixty-fourth congress and
brought down the denunciation of the
President upon “the willful twelve."
