Senator Borah, rampant opponent OF
the league, broke out in new place
last week, with charges that the propa-
ganda of the league to enforce peace,
headed by ex-President Taft is
financed by Wall street, Mr.. Taft's or
ganization glories in the fact that most
of its financial support conaes from
men of big business and broad vision.
ut may be-" said Senator Borah,
that the occasion for the opposition
upon the part of small men lis not a
limitation of vision; it may possibly
be that their investments are not the
same and their interests are ROT the
same.
1T may be that they are continuing
themselves to the interests OF their
own country and believe in the tradi-
tons and policies of their country and
if may possibly be that those who
take a wider view of thet matter are
those who have large investments in
other countries, and who propose to
shave more investments theres which in
vestments will be worth veryflittle I'M
less they are UNDERWATER by The Unit-
ed States government"
1t is not easy to see why AIneEiesatssss
business men should be criticized be-
cause they wish to see peace lserma-
nently established in Europe SO that
they can resume trade, commerce and
industry with the Europeans, An in
stance of what they are getting rea dy
to do is supplied by the news thaa'
three great American construction con-
Germs have been awarded a contract
for the rebuilding of the Nancy district
of France at an estimated figure of
$250,000000, which sum may he dou-
bled.

ing that, in case the United States
b comes a member Of the League of
Nations, it will be called on soon to
begin assuming mternatio nal duties
and responsibilities. Dispatches from

mandate for Constantinople and for
Armenia.
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1919-07-12

His great task abroad completed so
far as might be, President Wilson has
returned to his domestic duties. On
the hOmeward trip he signed bills and
read documents and otherwise pre-
pared himself for the contest that con-
fronts him III the United States. The
goal he has set for himself is the rati-
tication by the senate of the peace
treaty, including the covenant of the
League of Nations. Victory will not
come easily, though it probably will
come, maybe after the covenant has
been amended to meet the objections
now made by a considerable number
of senator's. Those who are against
the league In any form are. very few,
but stubborn If Mr.. Wilson is equal
iy stubborn, the whole matter is likely
to become a partisan issue despite the
efforts of many party leaders to pre-
vent this. 1t is intimated that, If the
senate makes evident its intention to
refuse to ratify. the president will
withhold the treaty for the time being,
and that would at once make 1t an out
and-out party question. There Is pre-
cedent for such q course. --,--sse-

Dispatches from Weilnar declared
that the national assembly would at
once take up the peace treaty and that
majority for its ratification was as
sured. The Germans had been noti-
fed that the blockade would be lifted
as soon as the pact were ratified, and
they expressed the hope that German
prisoners of war would be released at
the same time AS an earnest of their
good intentions the Germans ceased all
warfare on the Poles simultaneously
for some time and not without pro-
sailles. Released flom danger In that
direction, the Poles turned all their
attention to the Galician- VoIhynian
front, starting a offensive in
which they claimed to have broken
the Ukrainian resistance and regained
control of important towns and rail-
ways. There is no assurance, how.
ever, that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has, since
the armistice, reorganized an army of
about 100000 men and gathered
equipment for three times that mum
Der, including as many airplanes as
she had when she surrendered. OF
course all this is contrary to the
terms Germany accepted and if the
stories are true the allies will have
to get busy again. The Germans can
be trusted in one respect, and one
only. They will evade the treaty if
it is possible for them to do So
The French foreign Office gave out
the texts of the proposed agreements
of France with the United States and
Great Britain designed to protect
France against unprovoked aggression
by Germany. The pacts differ in that
Great Britain consents to come" to
the rescue of France, while the United
States twill be bound to come imme-
diately."
Various plans are being devised by
the Germans to save the former kaiser
from trial and punishment, including
the formation of national league
for the protection of his freedom and
life" Won Bethmann-Holweg, for
mer imperial chancellor, formally
asked the allied and associated pow
ers to place him on trial instead OF
the former emperor assuming respon-
sibility for all the acts for which
William is blamed. 1.-THE German gen
eral staff, which resigned, agreed to

eminent would promise not TO give up
