present for the congress of councils,

this seems only mildly to characterize
the real conditions.
Much curiosity has been aroused
through the contradictory statements
that have been made by the treasurer

fact the soldiers and workmen's coun-

only 100000 was reported.
The German finance miniStery is
considering a proposition to compel
all corporations in Germany to in

assert that the scheme will result in
the wholesale watering of stock.

King of Utah, who proposes that they
be distributed between the allied
countries. The resolution was re-
ferred to the foreign relations COM
mittee.
Destruction of the vessels is "un-
necessary and would serve no good or
useful purpose" and would be an ''un-
warranted act of waste and IMPROVE

provides that they should be disposed
of euuitably between the United States
and the allied powers and adapted to

Cites Many Precedents.

Occasionally Senator Lodge digress-
ed from his prepared remarks. which
received the close attention Of a large
majority of republicans and many
democrats. In discussing the Senate's
jurisdiction over treaties he cited
many precedents in which former
Presidents asked, in advance. the ad-
vice of the Senate on questions Of
treaties and foreign policies.

necessary for its own safety. I can
not ma$dne that England would for a
moment think of abandoning the bel
ligerent right of blockade"
senator said this point of President
wilson's need not be incorporated IN
the peace treaty, because secret
treaties never have and cannot exist
in this country, and. he added:
secret diplomacy is loose term
and l think that the question
is OF no vital. Importance at this mo-
ment, and. whatever our views may
be about the methods of diplomacy,
we can make peace with germany
without undertaking to settle what
snail constitute secret diplomacy IN
the future and what shall not.
Economic Barriers Wide Issue.
Urging postponement of action on
the matter of economic barriers. he
said it "opens a wide field of discus
sion." and Its settlement is not in
the least essential to ending the war
by a peace with Germany. We can
make that peace without determining
at this moment what we shall do
with our tariffs, in the making OF
which every nation ought to have
entire freedom
Russia, Senator Lodge declared,
presents an important problem in
connection with world peace and re-
construction which cannot be shirk-
ed. All civilized nations. he urged,
must aid in restoration of Russia.
1--WE have no present government in
Russia" he said, with which any one
can deal intelligently. The thing that
calls itself a government is no more
fit to be dealt with in negotiation
than band of anthropoid apes. There
is nothing that seems to indicate that
the Russian people have the power to
eXtricate themselves. We have troops
in Russia. Unfortunately they are SO
few that it is greatly to be feared

OPPOSES SUGGESTION
Of SINKING HUN SHIPS
Representative Sanders Believes
Vessels Could Help Pay U. S.
War Debt.

Opposition to the suggested sinking
of the surrendered German ships was
voiced by Representative Everett San.
ders of Indiana last night, addressing
the Sons of Veterans at Pythian Hail.
Mr.. Sanders said the idea was inter-
esting, especially if taken in connec-
ton with the recent recommendation
of Secretary Daniels that Navy
building program be launched. which
will give to this country a billion
dollar Navy.
I'm other words, if the report of the
proposed sinking of the ships is true
Mr.. Sanders went on, cit presumes
there is such a disaffection and dan
ger of disagreement among the allied
nations, whose united sacrifices have
brought about this great victory, that
hfty-seven capital ships and other
useful smaller craft, all of immense
naval value. shall be sent 10 the bot
tom of the sea, while the United
States. supposed to have the good will
of the allied nations. is to launch
upon a building program to eonstrucl
the same sort of vessels. The very
statement of this monstrous proposal
is an answer to the question of the
Likelihood of it's adoption
Idea Called Absurd.
1T is absurd to state that tho mere
fear of quarrel among the allied ma
tions would cause US to sink tho Ger
man warships. The allied confer
ence, which shall be called upon to
determine our position with reference
to Russia; which shall settle the con-
troversy over Alsace-Lorraine; which
shall settle the disputed questions be-
tween Italy and Austria; and the
complicated questions arising out of
the surrender of Turkey; which shall
determine upon the disposition of the
territory of Germany, and attempt to
initiate and perpetuate great and en-
during principles of international
law, will also agree upon the DISPOSE
ton of these warShips.
THE American people need have no
fear of the sinking of these German
WarshipS. They are portable prop
erty,' and the allies. having taken the
advice given by one of Dickens char
acters. to be sure to get hold of all
portable property will keep and use
the German ships. They will be di-
vided among the victorious nations
as part payment to these nations of
the indemnity that shall be due them
from Germany.
Ships as Payment to q. S.
This country is the creditor of
many of these nations, and the title
of some of these ships might well be
passed by the allies to the United
States as payment on account"

Must Make Germany Pay.

I'm addition to these guarantees
there must be heavy indemnities paid
by Germany for the ruin she has
wrought in Belgium and northern
France and in Italy, and for her de-
struction of vessels, both neutral and
belligerent, through the use of sub
marines. In those indemnities the
United States must have it's proper
and proportional share, not only direct
indemnity for it's ships destroyed by
submarine and its people murdered
on the Lusitania and other vessels,
but suitable restitution, in part at
least, of the vast expenses forced upon
US by Germany.
at will be for the peace conference
to determine what disposition should
be made of the German colonies, but
one thing is essential, and that is that
they should not be returned to the
tyrannical disagreement of Ger
many and that she should be deprived
of those means for extending her
commerce and building up military
outposts in all parts of the world
1t is the duty'of the allies and the
United States to meet and determine
what terms they will impose upon
Germany, and then. and not until then,
call in the representatives of Ger
many and impose the terms upon
them"

League of Nations Not Definite.

OF the league of nations proposal
Senator Lodge said no definite plan
has yet been put forth that would
not cause indefinite controversy.
The attempt to form now a league
OF nations-and I mean an effective
league, with power to enforce its de-
crees," he said, "can tend only to en-
barrass the peace that we ought to
make at once with Germany. If it
were successful and were to
come before the Senate, it might en-
danger the peace treaty and force
amendments. ="
