WARRINGTON, April e.--Senator Pom

letter he has received from an unnam
Captain in the American forces In

the League OF Nations:
1T seems 10 me there should be pyp-
vision made so that the members OF tho
A. E. F. should have an opportunity Of
expressing their sentiments in this con-
nection.
II believe the first and most imper-
tant feature We have before US - che
establishment OF peace, the League of
Nations proposition to be taken up later,
but full and free opportunity should
be given TO all Americans to express
themselves In the premises.
I'VE believe, and can safely say
90 per cent. OF the A. q. r. believe
the same. that this League of Natious
may work out satisfactorily, but at he
same time we believe that every inter
est Of America should be considered ana
we should not allow ourselves TO b.
come party OF the league through
purely ideslistic theories.
I'VE believe our interests lie In eur
own hemisphere for the present and that
we must stand ready to protect ito IN
terests and keep a watchful eye on the
Pacific side.
Our work here Is done We don't
want to become a police power Of
Europe. The boys want to go homA 1t

Verbal Fireworks Mark Trial
Of Former Senator Accused
Of Disloyalty.
PRESIDENT TO TESTIFY
Accused Mans Attorney Says
Client Is Victim Of POliti-
cal Enemies.

PARIS, April s.--The situation created
at the trial Of Senator Charles Hurnbert
by the reading OF President Poincare's
testimony. accusations by NJ. Moro-oiaf-
feri, Humbert's lawyer, that the French
President made voluntary errors" and
subsequent threats by Capt Mornet, the
public prosecutor. to have Moro-dianeri
disbarred from practice. Is one without
precedent in Frances spectacular law
courts. Senator Humbert II on trial on
the charge Of having had commerce with
the enemy.
President Poincare. in View OF the bit
ter attacks TO which he was subjected
by Humbert's lawyer. asked to-day to be
heard anew. and Col Massclin. after
reading the Presidents letter. acquiesced,
as the President wished to explain fur
Their regarding his relations and inter-
views with Senator Humbert.
President Poincare's testimony re-
lated TO the conversations he and Hum
bert had had regarding Pierre Lenoir,
a defendant and Bolo Pasha. He said
he had advised Humbert to make
charge before the military tribunals
which Humbert had refrained from do
ing, asserting that he had Informed the
first magistrate Of the republic and
that the latter had promised him that
action would be taken.
Perhaps one politician found It to
his advantage to have another promi-
nent politician disappear from the pub
lie eye" shouted Moro Giafferi. There
upon Capt. Mornet asked the counsel
to withdraw his remark, threatening
him with disbarment.
1t will be to the glory OF my career
to be dlsbarred under such circum.
stances" shouted Moro-GiafrerL
In summing UP the long discussion
the whole trend of Moro 0iafferis argu-
ment was TO show that President Pom
care was anxious TO have Humbert de-
posed from the prominent position he
occupied In the French political world.
Tho question Of hearing President
Poincare puzzles the legal men, the
French law providing that during cases
under investigation the President, being
the first magistrate Of the republic, must
be heard at Elysee Palace, but no pro-
vision Is made for the hearing Of such
testimony while the case 10 actually un-
der trial.
Humbert's lawyer declared this after
noon that he intended to demand to be
present when President Poincare was
heard as witness While he would not
insist upon bringing the President to
the court house. the iatters testimony
must be handled the same as that Of
any ordinary witness.
