2 LEAGUE IS FAILURE. MYS HARDING IN URGINGHEW PACT Republican Nominee De' dares Issue Is Clear-Cut Between Cox and Himself. Leaders Praise Speech MARION, Ohio, Aug. 29.—T0 the Cheers of a vast throng of Indiana and Minnesota Republicans, Senator Warren. G Harding Saturday dismiss ed, the League of Nations as a hope less wreck and proposed to erect in its stead an improved The Hague tri bunal combined with whatever good can be culled from the existing league covenant. His denunciations of Democratic •’wiggling and wobbling” brought shouts of approval and the yard in front of Senator Harding’s house re sounded with cheering when he de clared the present league dead be yond hope of restoration. Party leaders assembled for the occasion were enthusiastic, declaring that Senator Harding had swung into an offensive into the league issue. Senator Harding traversed almost the entire ground in his discussion of American foreign policy. Much significance was attached to his declaration that "what is in my mind is the wisdom of calling into real conference the ablest and most experienced minds of the coun try, from whatever walks of life they may come and without regard to party affiliation, to formulate a definite, practical plan along the lines already indicated for the con sideration of the controling foreign powers.” ”1 yield to no man in willingness, aye in eagerness, to render the greatest conceivable assistance to the stricken people of Europe,” Sen ator Harding said. "I include all of them and speak with a genuinely sympathetic heart, whether it is to mention devastated France, or sorely tried Italy, or nobly struggling Po land, or distracted and misguided Russia, or gallant little Belgium, 01 pitiably deceived Austria, or the ruthless mvader, Germany, which came to-' the supreme tragedy through a leadership which brought disaster to her misguided people.” Because of these sympathies, he voted for the league with reserva tions, and he added, would do so again confronted by the same con ditions and the same alternatives. I>eague is Dead "But the conditions have changed,’- he continued, "we know that the league constituted at Versailles is utterly impotent as a preventive of wars. It is so obviously impotent that it has not even been tried. It could not survive a single test. The original league, mistakenly conceiv ed and Unreasonably insisted upon, has undoubtedly passed beyond the possibility of restoration. The ma ture judgment of the w-orld will be that it deserved to pass for the very dimple reason thaX contrary to all of the tendencies developed by the civilizing process of the. world, it rested upon the power of might, not right.” Characterizing the League of Na tions as "utterly impotent” in the matter of preventing war, Senator Harding urged as a substitute The Hague tribunal with "teeth in it.’’ He said he was irrevocably opposed to the league plan while Governor Cox, he contended, was an advocate of the plan on the basis announced by President Wilson. This division of opinion, he said, was the whole difference between the governor and himself. "That is the whole difference be tween us, but is a vital one, be cause it involves tne disparity be tween a world court of justice, sup plemented by a world association for conference? on the one hand, and rSe! douncjl of the league on, the Harding said. 2 More Newspapers Swing in Favor of Senator Hoke Smith As indicative of the growing tide of sentiment in favor of Senator Smith, his headquarters point to the telegram received today from Hon. Volney Williams, of Waycross, as follows;. "The Alma Times and Jesup Senti nel, both anti-Smith papers, came out editorially this week for Senator Smith.” This is in line with the course of numbers of newspapers all over Georgia, who have formerly opposed Senator Smith. As it is bbing more and more wide ly recognized that the race is en tirely between Smith and Watson, numbers of papers over Georgia which have formerly opposed Sena tor Smith are lining up behind him as the logical and only candidate to heat Watson. The Smith headquar ters appreciate greatly the action of these two leading south Georgia pa pers. It has already been more than probable that every county but one in the Eleventh congressional district would line up back of Senator Smith, and the action of the Alma Times and the Jesup Sentinel renders the victory in this district all the more c e r ta i n. ’ Germany Apologizes For Silesian Riots PARIS, Aug. 27.—The German charge d’affaires here express ed to the foreign office the regrets of the German government over the pillage of the French consulate at Breslau, Silesia, during the recent disorders in the district. He prom ised to render all satisfaction pos sible. The charge was informed that the French government would make its decision with regard to reparations tvhen a report had been received con cerning the incident from the French ambassador at Berlin. Slump in Bituminous Coal Production Shown WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. A slump in the bituminous coal out put for the week ended August 21, of more than 800,000 tons of seven per cent from the 1920 record estab lished the preceding week was shown in a report today by the geo logical survey, placing the week’s total at 10,981,000 tons. -The decline was attributed in part to the new outbreak of the day men’s strike in Indiana, which by the end of the week had tied up four fifths of the mines in that state. Horse Shoers Fear Trade Is Lost Art NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 28. —John Leary, president of the Master Horse Shoers’ association here, to night announced that within two years all of the blacksmiths who shoe horses will be dead and the trade lost, since all men now en gaged are over 40 years of age and there are no apprentices. Because tirere arc only thirty-six left, the masters had to grant the men an increase in wages from $5 to $7 a day. Two Killed and One Hurt at Grade Crossing SPARTANBURG. S. C.. Aug. 28 J. T. Foster, a well-known farmer of White Stone, and Doc Wright, a negro bov. were instantly killed, and Mrs C. F. Murphy, seriously injured when a locomotive struck an auto mobile in which they were riding at Smoak’s Crossing, six miles from here yesterday afternoon. 1 fHK AT!? ’ n ' fi> Fair Hikers Adopt Trousers And Stir Up Squabble i f • \z' ~ k If W Vp . • v .... Kk // “Clothes and conduct irreproachable,” eay two fair hikers. MILL VALLEY, Cal. —Does cos tume influence deportment? Do girls when they don trousers, hailed as a step forward in woman’s emancipation, at the same time doff those feminine restraints for which skirts have been the symbol? These are the questions which suburban residents, summer vaca tionists and public officials are seri ously studying as a result of the con duct of thousands of young girl hikers who with boy companions in undate Marin county on week-ends. Their “parties” have roused Marin county communities to defensive ac tion, to enforcement of an old curfew law in San Francisco, near by, and to sharp controversy over the moral re action of clothes on conduct. Complaint is not directed to the wearing of trousers, which has be come common among outdoor women in California, but against the effect Candidates Are Active As Georgia Campaign Approaches Its Close CEDARTOWN, Ga„ Aug. 28. —In his speech here Saturday before an overflow audience in the Polk county courthouse Governor Dorsey declared that his recent collection of tobacco and other special taxes was -ab solutely necessary to sgve the state, from a desperate fjoanflal situation. He told a pathetic story of the various institutions of the state ana of their need of better facilities, of youthful inmates without proper clothing, and asserted that he col lected these taxes because there was no other way to provide for these un fortunates. “I had two alternatives, sand the governor. “It was a question of either raising valuations or collecting these taxes, and I chose the latter course., and have no apologies to make. Taxes on visible property in Georgia are too high now, and there is no reason why you and I should pay our just proportion of the taxes while others in the state are not bearing their just part of the burden.” The governor declared that he made an effort to have the legis lature decrease the tax rate on vis ible property, but failel. This meas ure’s death, he said, was ont his fault. While the governor’s audience was one of the largest he has yet ad dressed, there was an unmistakable absence of enthusiasm. His sallies, which he used in his references to Senator Hoke Smith, provoked laugh ter, but the rest of his remarks fell upon an audience, a large portion of which appeared to be anti-Dor sey. Defends Veto Attorney Homer Watkins intro duced the governor, who launched immediately into his usual review of his gubernatorial administration. Then the governor took up his veto of the measure exempting from inheritance taxation the Steiner be quest to the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children. “My political opponents have been fly-specking the great adminls • tration over which I had the honor of presiding and they now say that I should be defeated because I ve toed this bill. “Mr. Steiner .was a good fellow and a wealthy man, having become rich in the brewery business and left a part of his estate to this splendid institution. I vetoed the measure exempting this, bequest from inheritance ’taxation because the attorney general and the state tax commissioner said It wag uncon stitutional. I saw no reason why the Steiner estate should be exempt ed when other estates were being made to pay.” The governor called attention to a letter from Rev. Charles L. Bass, head of the Masonic order in Geor gia, in which he declared that he would support the' governor for the United States senate. HOLDER IS URGED TO STAY IN RACE The following statement was given out for publication Saturday afternoon by the campaign head quarters of John N. Holder, candi date for governor: “From Colquitt, Blakely, Bain bridge, Cairo, Dawson, Albany, in fact, all points in south Georgia at which John Holder has spoken the past week in the interest of his can didacy for governor, comes the re port to Holder headquarters that- in every instance have his hearers ex pressed their resentment over the effort of the Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph to read hirh out of the race. John Holder’s friends everywhere—and he has made thousands of new friends as the result of this attack upon him— have urged him to stick to the fight, promising to stand staunchly by him. “Mr. Holder has needed no urg ing. In every instance he has re plied he was squarely in the race to the finish 'and in the race to win. Mr. Holder, himself, has wired head-' quarters several times this week that he has found the newspaper at tempt to eliminate him has made him hundreds of new friends in everv section he has visited. ADDRESS BY HARDWICK DELIVERED AT PEMBROKE PEMBROKE. Ga., Aug. 28.—Thom as W. Hardwick, addressing a good sized audience of voters here today in the interests of his campaign for governor, predicted his sweeping vic tory on September 8, the day, he said, which would sound the “death ki'ell of boss rule in Georgia politics.’’ From one end of the state to the other, declared Mr. Hardwick, the people have turned out to hear him, and the “wool hat boys” have pledged of sudden change from skirts upon feminine psychology. The wholesale appearance of hik ing trousers has been accompanied, many charge, by an almost complete discard of old-fashioned modesty. The typical costume of the girl tramper here is tight trousers and leggings, shirt waists, and kerchiefs worn gypsy-fashion over the hair. Scores of official complaints assert that an alarmingly increasing num ber of these girls contrive shocking variations in costume, show disre gard for propriety, spoon openly and display utter contempt for the old standards of decorum. Others defend the fair hikers, say ing that conduct is a matter of in dividual training and sensibility, and has nothing to do with the adoption of trousers, and that the great ma jority comport themselves properly. themselves to put him in the gover nor's chair. “This year the honest men of Geor gia are going to write their own tickets,” he declared. “There are no bosses and no little subbosses going to control the state politics or the local politics. They can’t coerce the free men of Georgia. The day of au- U tocracy jn .Georgia politics is gone, l thank God!'’- Mr. Hardwick declared he is al j ready as good as elected. FIVE SPEECHES SATURDAY BY CONGRESSMAN UPSHAW STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga., Aug. 28. Congressman W. D. Upshaw spoke to a representative audience of voters ■ here this afternoon in the interest .at. his race for re-election.- This was one pf five speeches he made during the day.

McDaniel, an Atlanta travel ing salesman and A. G. Condra. Everyone in the lobby was invit ed to hold up his hand as the name of his favorite candidate was called. The poll resulted as fol lows: Hoke Smith—43. Hugh ‘M. Dorsey—36. ■ Thomas E. Watson —4. Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Condra con sider the poll especially complimen tary to Senator Smith in view of tne fact that both the Dorsey and Wat son campaign headquarters are in the Kimball House where their fol lowers naturally congregate. DOUGLAS, Ga., Aug. 28.—The po litical situation in Coffee county seems to be rapidly crystallizing for the approaching primary. In the race for United States penate, Sen ator Hoke Smith is now conceded by the Watson supporters to be win ner in Coffee county. Mr. Watson will run second in Coffee county. The Watson strength in the county is weakening and the Smith strength is gaining. The supporters of Sena tor Smith are becoming more active every day. Governor Dorsey will poll ‘only a light and complimentary vote in Coffee county. His friends are not active at all except in one small district. In the governor’s race indications are that it will be closq between Hardwick and Walker. ; The representative race in Coffee county between the incumbent. Judge J. W. Quincy, and Attorney E. L. Grantham is warming up and the indications are that it is going to be close. ■ Governor Asks Troops For West Virginia Mine Disturbances CHARLESTON, W. Va., Aug. 28. Governor John J- Cornwell an nounced here tonight that he had re quested the commander of the cen tral department. United States army, at to send a detachment of troops into Mingo county, W, Va., to take charge of the situation there. ; A score, of anonymous 1 letters, threatening life and property, ad dressed to many prominent residents : of the Mingo region, prompted him to ask for the troops, the governor said. The troops, he said, would take the place of state constabulary who ’ would be transferred to other parts of the state. 4 The governor said that he had been advised that a detachment of federal troops under command of ' Colonel Burkhardt had left Camp Sherxnan, at Chillicothe, 0., for Wil liamson, county seat of Mingo, at 10:30 o’clock tonight. 30 Injured, Eight Seriously, in Blast DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 28.—Thirty men were injured, eight seriously, and four buildings were wrecked in an explosion of acetyline gas tank today in the yards of the Detroit Pressed Steel company here. At the hospital it was said three of the injured probably would die. WOMEN ASK FOR PROVISION FOR VOTE IN PRIMARY The following letter has been sent to James J. Flynt, chairman of the state Democratic executive commit tee, by the Georgia Woman’s Suf frage association, -following a meet ing Friday afternoon, at which it was determined to ask the execu tive committee to call a meeting and make provisions that will enable the women of Georgia to vote in the approaching September primary, and, of course, in all subsequent pri maries and elections: Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29, 1920. “Hon. James J. Flynt, “Chairman State Democratic Executive Committee, Griffin, Ga. “Dear Sir: "The 19th federal amendment to the constitution of the United States which gives to the women of the United States the right, so long withheld, that enables them to vote in all elections, has been at last ratified by Tennessee, the glorious 36th state. The women of that state have voted in all municipal elec tions for the past two years, but the women of Georgia have not been so fortunate. We were not permitted by “the men who control” to. regis ter, although begged them, the legis lators, to pass an enabling act on the 23d day of June, 1920. Now, only ten days remain before the pri mary election on September 8, 1920, comes, and nothing has been done to assure the women of Georgia that they can vote in that election or in the November general election. “We beg to act upon Mr. Fermor Barrett’s request, viz.. to call a meeting of the state Democratic ex ecutive committee at once and make such provision as will accomplish that which right and justice to the women citizens of Georgia have now the right to demand. Section 1. "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridg ed by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” “Trusting that you will help the enfranchised women of today. “Very respectfully, (Signed) "Mrs. Mary L.

Wa 1 ker.” Many Georgia Papers Urge Re-election of Senator Hoke Smith A Campaign of Misrepresentations ATHENS BANNER: Georgia has its Hardwick; its Watson; its go pher; its reptiles, but of all the evils with which the state is infested, Senator Hoke Smith outpoints them in hypocrisy, demagogy and deceit. He owns a controlling interest in one of the largest dailies in the state and he has interest and mortgages on some of the lesser lights in the newspaper firmament in this state. These feebly edited papers during the campaign are being edited from Atlanta by paid employes of Hoke Smith. Read The Journal and you can count all the newspapers in this state supporting Hoke Smith on the Angers of one hand. You will find daily clippings from them published in the personal organ of Senator Smith. For the’.-'information of Editor Rowe, of- , the Athens Banner, the exchange editor of The Journal in- him to count “on the fingers of one hand” the following Georgia newspapers, which are actively sup porting Senator Smith for re-elec tion: , ; „ Dailies The Macon News. The Albany Herald. The Americus Times-Recorder. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun. The Augusta Herald. The Dublin Courier-Herald. The Moultrie Observer. The Athens Herald. The Atlanta Journal. Weeklies The Madison Madisonian. The Walton News. The Conyers Times. The Boyston Becord. The Alpharetta Free Press. The Nashville Herald. The Bockmart News. The Carnesville Herald. The Catoosa Becord. The Manchester Mercury. The Pike County Journal. The Coffee County Progress. The Ocilla Star. The Elberton Star. The Winder News. The Gainesville Eagle. The Boston Bostonian. And probably others. The editors of Georgia newspa pers, regardless of political align ments, will hardly agree with Ed itor Rowe that the above-named newspapers are either “feebly ed ited” or that they are owned or con trolled by Senator Smith. As for The Atlanta Journal, Editor Rowe could easily find out, if he does not already know, that Seridtor Smith sold his stock in The Journal many years ago,, and that fife has not a penny’s interest in the paper either in stock, bonds, mortgages or in any other way. Central May Spend $2,000, OOOin Columbus COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 28.—Mavor J. L. Couch is quoted as having said that if Eleventh street is closed its plans to elevate its tracks for several blocks, the Central of Geor gia railroad is willing to expend a sum estimated at $2,000,000. High officials of that railroad will be in the city next Wednesday and .will discuss at that time the proposition with the board of aider men. The city of Columbus together with the railroad company has plan ned to lower Eleventh street, mak ing an underpass for vehicles both entering and leaving the city. The elevated tracks would give two safe entrances and exits. The inability of the railroad company to start the work by March 1921, is the only pos sible hitch that can prevent carry ing out th’e plan, according t o th“ mayor. The official said that some thing would have to be done at an early date in regard to eliminating the Eleventh street crossing. Legion Post Buries Hero for Whom Named SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb., Aug 28 Wright-Prion post, of the American Legion, so far as known, is' the only one of the 9,500 units of the Legion to bury with full military honors the body of the war hero from which the post took its name. The remains of Sergeant Charles R. Wright, who died in France, October 11, 1918, now lie in the cemetery of the town from which he went to make the supreme sacrifice. Members of the local Le gion post and many former service men marched in uniform in the fu neral procession. Secretary Baker to Take Stump for Cox CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 28.—New ton D. Baker, secretary of war, will take the stump for Governor Cox in about three weeks, he announced here today. Mr. Baker arrived today for a conference with leading Ohio Dem ocrats. The national Democratic com mittee will arrange his speaking tour, Mr. Baker said. Family of 31 To Run Farm NEW YORK.—Carl Paulson, his wife, Christiana, and fifteen chil dren ranging from nineteen years to four months old, arrived here on the Frederick VII from Copen hagen today to start farming on 160 acres he has bought in Min nesota near Minneapolis. “The high wages are not going to bother me,” he said. “If I can’t get the work done with the wife and these youngsters I’ll send home for the reserves. “I have two daughters and three sons married on the other side. They’ll all come and help and bring the nine grandchildren along with them—and it’s only natural to believe there’ll be more in time; It seems to run in the family.” People Leave Hall As Dorsey Speaks To Carroll Voters CARROLLTON, Ga., Aug. 28. —A general exodus from the Carroll county courthouse during the course of his remarks, was the outstanding feature of Governor Dorsey’s ad dress here Saturday afternoon. The governor was in the midst of a, scathing denunciation of his oppon ents when he was forced to halt his speech while more than one hundred persons filed out of the courtroom. Prominent citizens in remarking upon the governor’s meeting, declar ed it was in striking contrast with a meeting held in the courthouse Saturday morning, when Edgar Wat kins, a prominent Atlanta attorney, held a large audience almost spell bound for more than an hour as he reviewed the senatorial record of Senator Smith, and unmistakably convinced his hearers that the state of Georgia would commit a griev ous error in displacing the senior senator during this critical era In the nation’s history. Governor Dorsey was more than one hour late in reaching Carroll ton, having stopped at Buchanan, Ga., en route from Cedartown, where he addressed a large, but rather un enthusiastic crowd in the Haralson county courthouse. Several miles out from Carrollton, the automobile of Judge James Bell, of the city court of Carrollton, in which the governor was being es corted to Carrollton, swerved from the road, and was thrown down a deep embankment. The governor narrowly escaped Injury, as did Judge Bell and his young daughter. Defends His Veto Governor Dorseys Carrollton audi ence was a representative one, con spicuous among his hearers being a number of supporters of Senator Smith and Thomas E. Watson. His scathing criticism of the senior sen ator drew loud applause from the Watson men, while his utterances against Mr. Watson provoked cheers from the Smith element. Otherwise his remarks fell upon an audience that apparently was disinterested. ■The governor attempted to defend his veto of the measure exempting from Inheritance taxation the Steiner bequest to the Scottish Rite Hos pital for Crippled Children; made an effort to justify his collection of illegel tobacco taxes from country merchants; lauded his own admin istration in his usual glowing terms; discussed the League of Nations at length; launched his usual bitter at tack upon Senator Smith and The Atlanta Journal, and criticized Thomas E. Watson for his antagonism to the government during the war. Walter R. Brown Has Issued Statement on Challenge to Walker Attorney Walter R. Brown, of At lanta, one of the candidates for gov ernor, has issued the following statement commenting off the fail ure of Clifford Walker, another gu bernatorial candidate, to accept his challenge for a joint debate:. s “I expected to have the opportunity to discuss the one and only issue that vitally concerns the people of Georgia in the present gubernatorial campaign, but for reasons best known to Mr. Walker, he keeps his lips sealed. “My challenge was issued to Mr. Walk er Thursday morning. He deliberately ig nored me, treating me and the platform upon which I stand with silent contempt. I intended to ask him before the At lanta public and other Georgians .if he was in favor of Mr. Gompers and his affiliated negroes dictating to the white people of Georgia. “I am sorry to find that there is a man in Georgia who asked to be elected our governor, who is either tied hand and foot by Samuel Gompers or for the sake of a few votes acknowledges his cowardice by failing to meet the volunteer candi date who is championing the cause of the white people against the domination and dictation of Mr. Gompers and bis asso ciated negro unions. “For two weeks these questions have been put to Mr. Hardwick, Mr. Holder and Mr. Walker and up to this present moment not one of them has had the nerve and bac.kbone to tell the voters of Geor gia where they stand on this tremen dous issue. They content themselves in discussing Hardwick’s fee. Walker’s hand shaking proclivities and the misfortune of Mr. Howell dropping Mr. Holder in the middle of the branch. “I state in all seriousness that neither one has presented a thought to the peo ple of Georgia which compares to tlrat of domestic, industrial and commercial peace of Georgia. “The effort is being made now by Gompers and his affiliated negro lodges to subvert the constitution and laws of our state. “I am in favor of protecting the fair womanhood of Georgia against the insidious effort made to unionize the farm labor negroes in our state.” Lamar County Fete Is Great Success BARNESVILLE, Ga„ Aug. 28. The big barbecue here yesterday, celebrating the passage of the bill creating Lamar county by the Geor gia legislature, was another great event connected with the new county. Between 4,000 and 5,000 people were present, many prominent men from other sections of the state, and many citizens from Monroe and Pike being among the number. More than fifty carcasses had been barbecued and the women furnished in addition scores of basket dinners. During the morning a number of fine addresses were made in Gordon auditorium, where John F. Redding acted as master of ceremonies. Among those making addresses were Senator James J. Flynt, of Griffin; Senator Herschel H. Elders, of Reids ville; Zack Arnold, of Fort Gaines; John H. Adams, of Social Circle, and Professor Joseph D. Smith, of this city, who was in charge of the new county campaign in Atlanta. Marine Recruiting Rapidly Increasing WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. —Re- cruiting for the marine corps is rapidly increasing and is expected to reach the highest peace-time point for midsummer recruiting this month. Before the war 500 men a month was considered a fair aver age for the smallest of the three branches of the service, and the present indications are that the Au gust figures will easily double that number. The marine corps is now recruit ed to about 60 per cent of its au thorized strength of 27,400, and at the present rate of progress will reach the maximum number within a few months. While the passing of the pay and bonus bills have had a stimulating effect on enlistments, recruiting- officers believe that the educational advantages now offered to marines are leading’ large num bers to enlist. castorla For Infants and Children IN USE FOR OVER 30 YEARS Always bears Signature I LODGE SCORES PEACE LEAGUE AT G.O.P. RALLY BOSTON, Aug. 28.—The League of Nations was..condemned .toy Senator Lodge in an address at a mass Meet ing of the Republican League Os Mas sachusetts at Braves’ field, today. “The league, which has got all mem bers in it but one,” he said, "has been an absolute and total failure; It hasn’.t accomplished anything.” "It may be impossible. s to-, with reservations,” Senator' Lodge added, “if may be undesirable to do so, it may be necessary to and strengthen the reservations, or it may be best to put aside this ill drawn. ill-conceived league and 'to take up under the auspices of the United States a new agreement, As sociation- or league composed of ail the nations of the earth under the leadership of the United -States. That’s a solution which commends itself, I believe, to Senator Harding,?’'- The other speakers included Helen Varick Boswell, who was a.delegate to the Republican national conven tion from New York state, arid Col onel Raymond Robins, of Chicago? Louis K. Liggett presided, and read a telegram .of greetings from Seria-'i tor Harding. Music was furnished by a Republican glee club of 100 voices, and after the speaking. 1,000 Amherst men who sat in a. special In cheering and'• sfriging in hioiior St' Governor Coolidge, who is a gradu ate of the college. Senator Lodge charged that the league had “never interfered with the invasion of Poland by Russia, had never interfered to hold back Turkey from Armenia, had never' done anything in the matter of Per sia, and had never done anything to reach a solution of the Fiume ques tion.” “It has done nothing,” he said “and yet it is full of menace. Europe, 1 think, is pretty well sick of it and would be glad to be rid of it. They don’t feel about our president as they did. I doubt whether it will evfer be possible to make the battered hulk of Mr. Wilson’s league seaworthy.” He explained that the European situation was "changing every day,”’ and that because of this realization he had taken “the ground at Chi cago that the senate deserved the ap proval of the Republican party, but above all things we should not bind our presidential candidate to any pledge of what he should do with the league question seven months hence.” Senator Lodge denied that the hopes of the world’s pfeace were ex clusively in the covenant of the League of Nations. “It is almost a sacrilege, he said, “to suggest that within the four cor ners of this document the hopes of the world’s good are tied up—in a document prepared oy General Smuts and Lord Cecil, with one article put in it by President Wilson, which we have from him is the heart Os the covenant.” . “The league as brought back by Mr. Wilson, is nothing out a political alliance,” he added, “all full of en forcement and very little peace in it. He was severe In his denunciation of Article Ten, which, he said? diuiered from every other article in the cov enant in that it constituted “an in dividual obligation.” “At this moment,” he continued, "one of the most gallant and brave people In the world is being Invaded bv Russia in an attempt to bring her back and partition her as she was partitioned in the days of the autoc racy. The sympathy of every Ameri can is with the Poles. “But if we were a member of the league, under Article Ten, if Poland summoned us, we’d have to go. No action of the Jeague would be neces- S£l Senator Lodge explained that when he spoke of Mr. Wilson and his atti- SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES OF THE SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH INSTITUTE WRITE STRONG TESTIMONIALS Mr. Jesse E.
