Washington, Feb. 27-President
Wilson told members Of the congress:
sional foreign relations committees that
unless. the. United States entered the
league Of nations the league would
fall and chaos and turmoil beyond de-
-scription would result in Europe. sz=..5
Views of the Republican members
opposing the league constitution as re.
ported to the Peace conference appar-
emily were not changed by the confer.
ence
The President was said to have. held
that the manufactures in the constitu-
ton were not compulsory, but required
the consent of the nations to which
the mandatory was assigned. Senators
said he expressed the opinion that the
United States would desire to become
mandatory for Armenia.
On the question of American SOW.
ereienty the President was said to
have taken the position that recession
of American sovereignty was not new,
being an incident Of every treaty.
J. Wilson Closely Questioned.
Discussion Of the constitution, as
presented to the Peace conference, was
said to have been quite general and
the president was questioned closely,
especially by Senator Brandegee of
Connecticut. REPUBLICAN, Leader Lodge
and Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, for
mer secretary of state, took very little
part. t-f:1 ,"f =
One question on which much time
was spent was whether q nation once
in the league could withdraw, raised
by Senator Brandegee. The President
was said to have held that any country
could withdraw, but Senator Brande.
gee commended this would be impos-
sible under the constitution as now
drafted.
The President, after making an
opening explanatory statement,
answered ali questions freely and
specifically emphasized that his guests
were free to discuss the conference
and all it's information with news:
paper men or others. j.: 80
President Wilson denied that the
league plan would interfere with the
Monroe doctrine, declaring that the
doctrine would be guaranteed by all
the member powers in the world So
ciety.
Denying that the league meant usur-
patton Of the powers Of congress to
declare war, the President said the
league merely was a promise by the
treaty making power that its congress
would do all in its power to carry out
the agreement, a situation which pre-
vailed in many present treaties.

Attemps to Throw Cold Water
On Utterances Of Amerl-
II can Executives. ~ 49, s.

London, Feb. 27.-Comment on Pres
ident Wilson's Boston speech takes
first place on the editorial pages of
London Newspapers. They unite.in
expressing the hope that the Presi-
dents appeal for support OF theleague
of nations Will meet with favorable re-
sponsez IN the United States. ~,
"WeEcan be as confident as Presi-
dent Wilson u.s." says the Daily Mail,
that their generous impulse, disinter-
ested aid and guidance will not fail
his people now but rather gain strength
and permanence as the need for it was
never greater. The alternative is:that
the United States should return to her
traditional isolation and regard. the
welter OF Europe from afar. i Such q
decision is unthinkable.> The United
States is in the war, she must be in
the peace"
The Daily Chronicle says:
HE appeals to America for tho first
time to play her part in policing the
unsettled territories of the Old World
and protecting the young nations. II
he succeeds in carrying his people
with him in this new crusade, he will
have succeeded in rendering a second
service to mankind as great as that in
bringing in the United States to finish
the war" . -
The newspapers generally were un-
stinting in their praise of President
Wilson's speech. The majority of
them mentioned his statement that
america is the hope Of the world"
agreeing that the United States can
not now. disappoint the world regard
ing the league Of nations and pointing
out that the days of American isola-
ton are passed.
The Post was the only newspaper
which attempted to throw cold water
on the address:
I'VE tried, not with complete sue
cess, to blow the foam off the divine
beaker of eloquence with which Presi-
dent Wilson refreshed the dry city OF
Boston, said the Post. What
pleased us most was his praise of the
American soldier We also rejoiced to
see that he is Poland's friend, because
It was rumored-probably by the
enemy-that he was a little backward
in that cause"

A speaker at the state editorial meet
ing-a returned otficer-said that the
returning soldier would come back
wanting the old things. The gentleman
is very much mistaken. He has taken
his own views as those Of the soldiers
and sailors. Of course they want the
old things if by that is meant loyalty
to country and devotion to the prin-
ciples for which the flag stands. That
they want return to the old condi-
tions, however, industrially, economic
ally, socially, is not true. They want
better conditions, squarer deal all
around, a release from exploitation,
more of the Golden Rule and less Of
Mammon, an America which will re-
alize more than it ever has the ideals
if its founders-or else the sacrifices
have been in vain. The old order ia

chy, no blind bolshevikism, .so-called, in
this country, because the American peo-
pie are too wise, have too much sober

and they have means for remedying
grievances. There is, however, just as
much danger to American ideals and
American institutions in the extreme
reactionary and extreme conservative
as there is in the extreme radical. Both

Bo>shevikism so-called is a danger
Gus thing, but every progressive idea
is by no means bolshevikism. There are
political crooks and political reaction
aries in this state who are welcoming
the opportunity to discredit reforms

who do not know these fellows. Those
who do can have nothing but contemp t

Governor Burnquist has appointed a
commission of FIVE, of which G. E. Vasa.
~ Of the board of control is member
TO study the question Of the aged and
inhrm of Minnesota, and to report to
the next legislature, with suggestions
for legislation. This is very import.
ant matter. There is little provision
outside of few UNCONVENTIONAL homes
for the aged who for various reasons
have no home, even though in many
cases they have more or less funds. The
county poorhouses are intended for the
destitute, but it is coming to be recog'
nized that even for them, the poorhouse
is not proper solution Of the problem
They are far from being homes in any
sense of the word. The old folks in
them generally feel that it has been
adjudgcd crime to be old, that they
ere nuisances, and that the community
puts them in poorhouses as the cheapest
way to get over difficulty. District
homes, built by groups Of counties, and
subject to state regulation and inspec-
ton, would be far preferable, although
along with them must go development
of proper interest in the community
The church homes, such as the one so
well conducted in Little Falls by the
Franciscan Sisters, have very limited
accomm odations, and touch but small
part Of the need. The senile aged in
volve still other considerations. What
is needed is a survey Of the needs, and
this the commission will secure, as we'll
as study old age insurance, ETC., propo-
sitions naturally growing out of the
subject. $780,.

rectors, combating their action in

raion The plaintiff asserted that if
they had obtained competent legal
advice, they would have known" that
the words beverage purposes in the
Federal prohibition amendment did
not mean total prohibition"
Majors counsel explained that by
legal. economic and physiological def
milton, beverage purposes" as used
in said amendment means drinking be-
tween meals. for tipping purposes and
for pleasure only, at the bars and in
saloons, and that restaurants will in
