SENATOR LEWIS ADVOCATES
DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE
WITH SOUTH AMERICA
(By Associated Press.)

Ashyille, n. G., Aug. 4.--The pre-
diction that Russia, Germany, Japan
and China would sometime be array
ed in arms against the United States
and that this country could not look
for aid from England or, under con
ditions like those at present, from
South American powers, was made in
an address by Senator James Hamil
ton Lewis, Of Illinois, before the State
Bar Association of North Carolina
His subject was America as the In.
ternational Law'giver of the World
Tomorrow
In preparation for such an eyentu-
ality, Senator Lewis proposed call
ing a council Of all the governments
OF South America and then by al
lance make common cause for the
protection Of republican form of gov
ernment in the western hemisphere. "
Declaring that Russia had griev-
ance against this country in connec-
tion with the disruption of the com
mercial treaty with Russia growing
out of treatment of the Jews, and
that Russia and Germany, who "have
no quarrel upon governmental prin-
ciples among themselves" would adj
just their differences, Senator Lewis
said:
Then both Gernany and Russia
will be bound together in a treaty
with an object of dominating Asia
from Siberia eastward, and then, as
joint enemies Of the United States
they will be found in conjunction
with Japan, who, now an ally with
Russia. will present to us the attitude
of one who has earned the friend
ships Of England and Russia in turn
for the aid Japan is giving these coun-
tries by driving Germany out of Chi
ma. Germany with little love FOR Jap
an. but with her grievances against
us, will be as cooperative with jap
an as Russia is today Then with
this situation the concentrated alliSs
will sieze the Philippines in retalia-
ton for refusing equality OF citizen
ship to the Japanese. Russia, as the
ally of Japan, would seize her form

Fifty is Death Toll in N. Y.

Erie, Pa, Aug. 4.4After a survey
of the debris left from last nights
storm and flood, it is estimated that
there are fifty dead and many in
iured. Twenty-nine bodies have been
recovered. The property loss is es-
timated at three million dollars.
The flood was caused by the burst
ing of dam and a flooded creek
which swept through the business
section a city block wide and mile
long
The entire police and fire forces OF
the city worked throughout the night
but were unable to save many, as the
wall of water was five feet high, that
swept over the doomed district.
A severe rain storm caused the
flood to extend over all of Northern
Pennsylvania and Western New
York.

NECESSARY TO WIN
OVER BALKAN STATES
IN FAR EAST,
INVOLVING u. S. INTER
ESTS, ALSO MEANS MUCH

London, Aug A new turn has
been given to the Balkan Kaleidoscope
and Constantinople is seen more
clearly than ever to be the key to the
whole jumbled situation in southeast
Europe. Reports, which doubtless are
receiving Americas special eonsidera-
tion as her interests are directly con
cerned, are also current that events
in the neighborhood of the Darda-
nelles may have an important influ-
.ence upon the future history not only
of countries contiguous to the narrow
seas of the Near East but of contin-
ents Tapped by the oceans of the ex-
treme Orient.
On this latter aspect of the question,
which is concerned with alleged nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan,
nothing has yet been published in
England, though the French consor-
ship permitted free discussion in
the press of Paris, whence summary
of it presumably reached the United
States by French cable.
