FIGHT TO keep US. OUT
OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Knox Resolution Reserves to
America Right to Join the
Covenant.

Washington.-Form notice to the
Peace Conference and to the world
that the United States wants peace,
but desires no membership in the
League of Nations, is contained in
resolution which Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania introduced in the senate.
The resolution calls upon the Peace
Conference to submit a treaty of peace
without any provisions for the estab-
lishment of League of Nations. 1t
demands poStponement of any action
on the League of Nations question until
the people of the United States have
been given an opportunity to decide
for themselves whether they want it.
Adoption by the Peace Conference of
these recommendations will facilitate
ratification of the treaty of peace by
the senate, the resolution states.
With the presentation of this resou-
ton the fight in the senate against the
League of Nations covenant is brought
to definite issue. Republican sena-
tors, with the assistance of several
senators on the Democratic side, will
back the Knox resolution to a finish
1t will line up the advocates and the
opponents of the League of Nations on
the issue of separating the covenant
from the treaty and of declaring peace
without the League of Nations pro-
visions
Senator Knox drafted the resolution
with the consent and by the direction
of Republican senators who are op-
posing the league Differing from the
famous senatorial ground robin" only
in form, the resolution is intended to
bring about quick decision by the SEN
ate on the direct question whether the

whether it would not he better to de-

PITH OF T III E
VICTORY NE w S

The Big Four reached an agreement
on all the main points of the reply
to the German counter proposals on
the peace treaty.
The accord concerning the admission
of Germany to the League of Nations
is the same as drawn by Lord Robert
Cecil and Colonel House.
The allies reply to the German coun-
ter proposals were sent to the dele
gates by messenger, with notice CIV
ing them five days to ACCEPT or re-
ject the treaty.
German civilians in. the Rhine region
are becoming more and more in
soIent, and at least six American SOL
ders have been killed in clashes
with the natives since they occupied
the district.
The League of Nations does not SUBJ
vert the American Constitution, de-
clared Senator Walsh, defending the
covenant against "trumped up and
insupportabIe objections"
Premier cIemenceau of France who all
along has commended strongly against
any Iessening in the severity of the
terms of the treaty, apparently has
won his point, for advices from Par
is say that the document is to re-
main unchanged.
The Austrian chancellor, as head of
the Austrian peace delegation, is pro-
testing against the "hard conditions"
of the treaty and declaring that his
country is overwhelmed with despair
because of them. Particular stress
is being laid in the pleas of the
chancellor against the dismember-
ment of Austria.
