WASHINGTON, May 26.—Hxcoria
tion of the league of pations by one
Democratic Bensmrj followed by a
prepared speech by another Demo
cratic Senator in favor of the United
States becoming a party to the pro
posed “peace pact,” was promised In
the Senate today. &
Senator Reed, of Missouri, one of
the most uncompromising .opponents
of the American people being com
mitted to the league, announced that
he intended to devote himse!f to dis
cussing the probable outcome of the
white race becoming closely afflliated
with the black, brown and yellow
races which, he maintained, was hard
ly to be avoided if certain basic pro
visions of the league covenant were
to be carried into effect,
Robinson to Reply.
Semator Robinson, of Arkansas, a
Deamocrat, gave notice that he pro
posed to reply to the Missouri Sena
tor with a carefully prepared ad
dress, in which he would not only ad
vance arguments in behalf of various
principles of the league plan, but
would again challenge the Republi
can Senators opposed to the league to
prove they were not making their op
position a party issue,
Despite the declaration of Senator
Borah, Progressive Republican, of
Idaho, that the leaguwe “is already a
party matter” and a “political party
which would fail to take a stand on
a gumestion which involves the honor
and Independence of our republic
would be fit only for th'e derision and
contempt of all patriotic men.” Sena
tor Lodge chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee, and Re
publican majority leader, as well as
some of his closest senatorial ad
visers, were known to be unalter
ably opposed to the opposition to the
league being transformed into Re
publican doctrine along strictly party
lines.
Oppose Partisanship.
Other Republican Senators like
Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Brande
gee, of Conencticut; Curtis, of Iowa;
Harding, of Ohio, and Knox, of Penn
sylvania, who are as much anti
league as Lodge, were in absolute ac
cord with the Massachusetts Senator
on two propositions: First, that no
definite public policy or action be
finally determined upon, or announced
either with regard to the peace treaty
itself or the proposed separation from
it of the league covenant, until the
full official text of the whole docu
ment has been submiited to the Sen
ate.
Seconrd. That whatever course was
m?ped out evemtually by the Re
publican majority in the Senate with
respect to the entire treaty, or that
part of it involving the league, an
effort should be made to confine it to
non-partisan lines,
Senator Johnson, of California,
Progressive Republican, one of the
new members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Comumittee who are out
and-out league opponents, planned
to call wp again today his resolu
tion providing for the immediate
submission of the peace treaty,

On League in House
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 26.—“ Amer
ica-should stand aloof from entan
gling alliances abroad. It can not be
possible for our people to mingle with
the people there on equal terms—they
do not think like we do. It seems
a pity that the peace terms have not
been agreed upon earlier. The failure
to agree upon the terms of peace
leaves a measure of doubt in the
minds of all the people abroad,” de

“With the Entente forces marching
into Germany it would be 2 continu
ation of the ‘whole war murder pol
fey.’ "™
Herr Noske sald he was pinning
his hepes to the American people,
adding:
“I am convinced the United States
did not enter the war imbued with
the egotism of conquest, but to bring
about peace which would lead to a
growing understanding of nations
and the fraternity of peoples; a peace
which would avoid the existing dif
ferences and hatreds, giving human
ity hope that war will be done away
with in the future as barbarism, en
abling all peoples to pursue their cul
tural pursuits.”
Wishes for Big Army.
Asked about developments on the
eastern frontier, the Minister of De
fense readily answered: 2
“The Government is not supporting
the agitation to arm all able-bodied
men against the Poles, but the popu
lation will doubtless fight against the
uncultured Polish yoke to the last
breath.
“The Government, moreover, is
hardly able to help, lacking the nec
essary materials., Still one never
knows what we shall do in the next
four weeks. It is not true that Von
Hindenburg is urging a resumption
of war. He never mixed in politics.
“The report that we have 900,000
armed men is most absurd; but I
wish we had.”

LONDON, May 26.—Germany’s

lowing the French to occupy the Saar
basin and work the Saar coal mines,
said an HKxchange dispatch from Ber
lin today. |
and concluded with a reference to the
peace terms. “Invisible tarder lines
make it necessary for the peoples
abroad to be watchful of each other.
They are suspicious one nation of an
other. You can not make them oth
arwise. Their internal political
hatreds are unchangeable,” he com
mented.
“The league of nations, which pro
vides, if it should be approved here,
for the defense of the political in
tegrity and geographical boundaries
of foreign nations, is likely to lead
us into trouble. The nations that are
being created are now at war with
each other. They. are likely to con
tinue at war. They are fighting every
day. It seems impossible to reconcile
the conditions between them. The
Balkan states must be recognized as
the cradle of wars. Nobody could
maintain their political integrity or
geographical boundaries. My judg
ment is that America should not send
her boys to foreign territory for the
purpose of maintaining foreign po
litical integrity.”

Sen. Smith’
en. Smith’s
Sister i
Registrants
Senator Hoke Smith might have
been impressed had ne been present
at the Courthouse Monday when At
lanta women registered as voters.
Once upon a time, it has been said,
the senior Senator from Georgia
vouchsafed the opinion in the Senate
chamber that the better class of wom
en of Georgia did not want the bal
lot.
The second woman to register was
Mrs. Frances Smith Whiteside, a sis
ter of Senator Smith. Soon after
ward Mrs. Maude B, Cobb, State Li
brarian, and her assistant, Miss
Thornton, appeared for registration.
Mrs. Cobb was the first woman in
(Georgia to hold political office, her
appointment having been made dur
ing Senator Smith's term of office as
Governor of Georgia, and upon his
recommendation.
Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, one of At
lanta’s most active women, who was
chairman of the Women's Liberty
Loan Committee, was among the ear
ly registrants. Mrs. Lumpkin will
throw her every energy into the task
of effecting a full registration of all
women eligible to vote and will aid
in the formulating of principles and
lines of procedure for the women
voters’ league. She will be one of the
principal speakers at the great mass
meeting of women voters at the
Chamber of Commerce Thursday
night.
. " .
A surprising number of women were
escorted to the registration booths by
their husbands and fathers. Chair
man Ernest Buchanan, of the City Ex
ecutive Committee, started the ball
rolling when he brought Mrs. Buchan
an in and explained to her the in
tricacies-—simple enough, though—of
registration, Walker T. Lee, execu
tive secretary to the Mavor, followed
wit hMrs. Lee. Then came Dr. Frank
Peck with Mrs. Peck, and Dr. J. C.
White, former candidate for Congress
man fro mthe Fifth District, with Mrs.
White. One Southern man brought in
his wife and two daughters and in
creagsed the voting stremgth of his
family by 300 per cent.
Probably the greatest factor in com
pleting the registration of women will
be the desire of husbands to augment
their voting strength. Some of them
realize that they are aiding and abet
ting “the opposition,” but they are
good encugh sports to take their med-;
icine. |
A homelike appearance was given
the registration booth by the pres
ence of a big table bearing a big bas
ket of roses and daisies, behind which
sat Mrs. Charles Goodman and Mrs.
Amelia Woodall. The registration
was carried out with the quiet and
ease of a social function. Some of
the women even brought their chil
dren with them and the atmosphere
was such that none was ‘“‘contami
nated.”
Those who felt that the “home will
be broken up and women will lose
their womanliness” found no verifi
cation of their fears. Not only will
the home NOT be broken up, but it
will be strengthened and brought
closer together. A lot of men may
find it necessary to pay closer court
to their wives and daughters, now
that the dear ladies are in a position
to help father in his political ambi
tions!
e
One of the hardest workers at the
booth was Miss Blizabeth Sawtell,
the pretty voung teacher of a French
class held weekly in the M=Clure
Building. Miss Sawtell was busy
evervy moment, meeting the women
at the door of the Courthouse and
directing them to the proper booths
for registration, |

A number of really wise politicians
arrived early to see if their prediction |

for the extension of the franchise to

Among the other prominent women
whe appeared first for registration
were Mrs, George K, Horne, Mrs. W,
’l. Baker, Mrs. Beatrice Eaglin, Mrs,
Benjamin F. Bolton and Mrs, John
Corrigan.
After the fce was broken by the
firet score, the women begnn drifting
into the registration offices in pairs
and singly until the registration be
gan taking on A& “bargain counter’”
appéarance. Dozens of curious at
taches of the Courthouse stood at tho‘
doors and in the corridors watchlnz‘
with mingled feelings the beginning
of the new day in Georgia politics.
Most of them expressed Wwarm ap
proval of the innovation,
New Day for Women.
It was a new day, not only for the
women of Atlanta but for the munici
pality as well. The vote of the wom
en, a 8 indicated by the preliminary
registration rush, will be the balance
of power in the coming elections.
There was no one wise enough Mon
day morning to guess with any degree
of certainty in what direction the bal.
ance would be swung, but all were
agreed that the large registration
meant better schools, better health
measures, progressive social legisia
tion, less children killed by automobile
speed flends and a higher standard of
statesmanship required from candi
dates for public office in the city.
The registration booths opened at
8:30 o’'clock, but a number of women
were on hand much earlier to assist
in advising registrants how to go
about registration and post them on
the requirements. The registrants
came from all parts of the city and
from all walks of life
Simple Requirements.
The requirements for registration
were of the simplest nature. The
women are merely required to state
that they are over 21 years of age,
have been residents of the county for
over Bix months, have paid any taxes
that may have been due by them, that
they will support he nominees of the
white primaries and then pay $1 reg
istration fee,
A city-wide campaign for a 100 per
cent registration of all women entitled
to vote has been started by the wom
en's organizations, and this will be
carried on through the registration
period during June and until July 5,
when the books close, 30 days before‘
the primary. The women will be
asked to register and vote, not for the
mere exercise of suffrage on principle
but to save the city’s schools and the
