PRESENT REDRAET
Of LEAGUE PLANS
AROUSESI INTEREST
Exact Reason for Apparent
Change in Wilson's Attitude
Not Yet ReveaIed-WatCh
to See Real Cause.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
The News Sclmltsr's Special Corre-

WASHINGTON. March 2t.-The
covenant is being redrawn in Paris
with President Wilson sitting at the
head Of the table considering amend
ments. Those who got the impression
when the president was here that the
covenant was not subject to amend
ment are wondering whether Mr.. VIII
son was misunderstood in his talk with
senators at the capitol when lie is
supposed TO have taken an unCOmpro-
missing stand on the integrity of the
document or whether the Juror raised
In the United States over the vague
praseology Of the covenant has brought
about II change In purpose on the part
OF the president.
Certainly President Wilson received
while ne was here and also has since re-
CeiVed by cable several sets Of amend
ments drawn in treaty language. Until
it is known which of these have been
accepted by the president the names
OF the authors OF the suggested changes
will probably not be disclosed.
AS for other countries, they have In
tended from the very first to offer
amendments and President Wilson can
not have been speaking for them but
for the American delegation alone If
he did give the impression that no
amendments would be offered to the
document.
1t is unfortunate that the texts Of
the different speeches where the cove
nant was submitted 10 the planary con
ference in Paris were not cabled in full
10 America. They have Just arrived
in Washington and Illustrate very
clearly why they are talking about
amendments in Paris today. Lord
Robert Cecil, OF Great Britain, said in
part:
at seems to me n good omen for
the great project in which we are en-
gagged that before its final completion,
il should have been published to the
world and laid before all its people
for their advice and for their crlti-
cisms."

Held Incomplete.

Thus it will be seen that the chief
IrepTe sentative of the British empire
on the commission which drafted the
covenant regarded 1t as incomplete and
asked for the criticism and advice OF
people everywhere, Signor Orlando,
premier Of Italy who followed Lord
Robert, spoke Of the object Of the days

fore the public opinion of the world
Leon Bourgeois, the representative OF
France, speaking for NJ. ~Clemenceau-
and the French government said in
part:
Lord Robert Cecil has said we now
| present to the conference and the world
the result OF our work in the commit
tee but we do not present 1t as some
thing which Ia final, but only as the
result Of an honest effort to be dis

by this conference but by the public

resulted from our deliberations. We
must preserve the character OF unanim-

NJ. Bourgeois pointed out that the
covenant itself did not go far enough
because It did not limit the size OF
ornaments. For France he believed,
| this IL a practical question of security

HE BELONGS TO THE AGES

There was laid away in its final resting place today all that was
mortal of Theodore Roosevelt. The nation mourns and the whole CIV
iized world looks on in sympathy. As Stanton spoke of Lincoln when
that great soul had passed on, "Now he belongs to the ages"
And how characteristic it was of him that he should wish no U.s.
tentatious display at his funeral that he should want his body sur
rounded only by his immediate family and a few most intimate frends'
that his grave should be at his old home that he loved so well on a knoll
overlooking the cove where so many happy and joyous hours had been
spent.
We are inclined to think of the colonel only in connection with
his public career, and, indeed, there is plenty in that to cause S to
praise and admire him. But those who have read his autobiography
know that his greatest pleasure was in the family circle. What bully
sport it must have been to get into a boat with him and row down
tong Island sound for several miles for a family picnic. Every year,
no matter how busy the colonel was, it was his custom to having this
outing with his boys. Lucky boys! What typical American lad would
not have given his ~jack-knife to have been along.
"And now he belongs to the ages"
He is gone. His great voice that was constantly lifted for the
welfare of the masses and the glory and defense of his country is stlled.
His strenuous nature is quiet forever. 1t is as if a great personal loss
had occurred in thousands, yes, millions Of homes.
But while today is buried all that was mortal of Theodore Roose-
,dt, he is not dead. His spirit is living as it always will live in the
hearts of men everywhere.
