Article Ten Scored.

Senator Borah. leading Senate op-
ponent, said today that letters he and
other Senators are receiving show the
country is strongly opposed to Ar
ticIe Ten, on the ground that it Will
mean sending American soldiers to
Europe, Asia. or Africa to defend the
territorial integrity of foreign ma
tons Thousands Of letters are De
ing received, Borah said. PracticaIlS
ali insist that Article Ten must come
out of the covenant.
Influence of returning soldiers also
is being shown in letters to Senators.
Soldiers relatives write that the
boys" say England and France are
not really friendly to the United
States, and that, therefore TINS
country should not entangle itseH
with European affairs.
Opposing Senators have received
information from Paris, they claim
that the real depth OF the dissatisfac-
ton of American peacemakers with
the form Of the treaty has only been
limited at in press dispatches.
This has given impetus to a pro-
posaI that the Senate communicate
to the American delegates the chief
points of opposition here. with the
suggestion that further amendments
be made before the treaty is sub
mitted to the Senate.
Two methods of doing this have
been suggested, one a resolution
passed by the Senate, another. round
robin.
Such a communication would advise
that the treaty and league covenant
be separated. and that Article Ten be
either amended or stricken out of the
covenant.
This action, Senators said. would
warn the American delegates that
the Senate intends to separate the
treaty and covenant, and to amend
the covenant.

try's ear. Vigorous efforts are to be
made between now and the time Pres

why the league is necessary as a sup
plement to the treaty.

MUMMlFIED SNAKE IN LOG
Reptile Dramatically Sealed in Heart
of Walnut Timber Discovered
at SaWmill.

Trapped in chamber in the heart
of n walnut tree, which had eveident-
~ been its winter home, blacksnake
was found mummlfied in the hermet-
ically sealed tomb after lapse Of 20
or more years. The layers of new
timber formation indicated the period
of the reptiles Imprisonment.
A handsome walnut log two and one
half feet in diameter, shipped TO
mill at Johnson City, Tenn, from
Wawnesville ~ c., held the impriS-
oned coil of the dead snake. To the
eye the log was perfect. After the
carriage had passed back and forth
time or two the saw uncapped a
beautifully polished vacuum, with a
dark coil lying within. Lifted out, the
coil proved TO be the preserved form
OF Il snake. Exposure TO mir caused a
sudden shrinkage.
"The snake had undoubtedly crawl
ed into the tree through hole
made by broken limb that had
decayed at the base" said NJ. l..
Settlers, member of the company
operating the mill. "Thc new layers
of timber, which had enveloped the
opening, were Of thickness 10 indi-
cate II growth of probably 20 years
since the snake entered the cav
ity to find the exit suddenly closed
against its escape, probably due 10
the dropping Of a small piece of bark
which covered the opening"
