PRESIDENT WILSON
ATTACKED BY REED
m SENATE SPEECH
MisSourian Says His State
ment on EngIand's and
U, S, Strength in League
Erroneous to Last Degree

WASHINGTON, Sept. pa bitter
attack upon President Wilson by
Senator Reed, Missouri, marked the
opening of the senate fight over the
Johnson peace treaty amendment to-
day.
The amendment would equalize the
vote of the United States and Great
britain in the League Of Nations
assembly.
Senator Reed, in a speech to the
senate, declared that the presidents
statement at San Francisco that this
country, with it's one vote in the
league assembly to Great Britain
six, cannot be outvoted is erroneous
to the last degree"
"Th( president disregards the fact
that when the United States is a
party in interest. it is denied the
right to vote at all. In a dispute
between the United States and Great
Britain. where neither are permitted
to sit in judgment, the five British
colonies and donl1nions are, as in
SC11 SONC11 OOo4SSS POI
mitted to cast their votes"
Senator Reed said the president
was mistaken when he said that the
assembly of the league is largely
"an international debating society"
with no real power.
He declared that the assembly not
only controls election of members of
the assembly, but of the league
council; that it controls withdrawal
from the league; that by the exercise
of the power of exclusion it may
force formation of a rival league,
leading to another world war; that
it controls the selection of secre-
tariat, the executive agent of the
league; that it is the court of last
resort in disputes and has general
jurisdiction over "a1l matters with
in the sphere Of the league or affect
ing the peace of the world"
While Senator Reed occupied the
attention of the senate, leaders on
both sides plan to complete the
practical preparations necessary to
their campaigns. Expecting the vote
on the amendment to be close, it's
supporters and opponents were
equally alert today for indications
CT a break in the opposition.
Democratic leaders hoped to as
sure themselves that only two Dem
ocrats-Senators Reed and Gore
will vote for the amendment while
tile amendments friend once again
sought the pledges of several other
Dem ocrats that they will vote for
the proposal.
The question of formally calling
- up the amendment was also to be
discussed. The impression is that
, no objection viii be made to bring
ing it before the senate. 1t was
= temporarily passed over when it
was reached last week in the read
ing of the treaty and can now be
called up on motion by a majority
vote -s
Senator Hiram Johnson, it's au-
thor, arrived back in Washington to-
day from his curtailed western tour
in opposition to the league and was
expected to sit in at the final council
of war

LANSING URGES
RATIFICATION Of
THE PEACE TREATY
Secretary of State Says
Objections to Treaty Are
Trivial Compared to Need
of Peace

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Sept. 90
Secretary Lansing, making his first
public utterance since William C.
Bullitt's testimony before the sem
ate foreign relations committee, de-
clared this afternoc that the treaty
should be ratified without delay and
without change"
The secretary's speech was made
at the dedication of Lansingdorf, a
suburb built for munitions workers
by the government and named after
Secretary Lansing's family home in
Holland. He made no reference to
Bullitt, who testified that Secretary
Lansing had told him in Paris that
eff the American senate and the
American people understand this
treaty, they will defeat it,"
eve are approaching a new era,
an era of peace and, L am confident,
an era of national prosperity unsur-
passed in our history" Secretary
Lansing said.
'"The people Of the earth long to
enter this era, so they may again
begin to rebuild what has been de-
stroyed. This cannot be done until
normal commercial and Industrial
conditions are restored, and they
can only be restored by ratify-
ing the treaty of peace which now
lies on the table in the senate. The
economic life Of the world will con-
tinue in it's stagnant and wretched
state of uncertainty until the SEN
ate consents to ratify.
"There is nothing in the treaty
of peace which invades the sover-
eighty of this republic, or which
limits in any way the full exercise of
such sovereignty. There may be in
the treaty features which do not
meet with universal approval. 1t
would be strange if it were other
wise. But the objections which have
been made are trivial as compared
with the imperative need of peace
eve ought to have peace at once.
The treaty should be ratified with
out delay and without change. It r.
narrowminded craftsmanship which
would endanger the treaty becoming
effective by changing it's provisions
and postponing the return of peace.
1 cannot comprehend how any man
with a true appreciation of the sit
uation can permit any objection less
than impairment of the national SOW
ereignty of the United States, to
weigh against the universal prayer
of the nation for restoration OF
peace. Let the treaty be inmedi-
ateIy ratified. The world demands
it, patriotism demands it, and COM
nonsense demands it,

Wants United States
To Leave Europe Alone

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 22.-Right
Rev. Benjamin J. Kelley, Catholic
bishop of Savannah, in an interview
In The Savannah Press today, says
1t should be the business of the
United States to get out of Europe
as soon as possible. While the
bishop says he is not concerned over
the League of Nations, he thinks
Uncle Sam should follow Andrew
Jackson's advice and give attention
strictly to the business of minding
his own business.
He predicts that in twenty-five
years a representative of the house
of Hohenzollern will be again on the
throne n Germany. He seriously
doubts the sincerity of the European
nations in their dealings with each
other and with the United States.
He declares there was but one thing
for the United States to have done
when it licked Germany. That was
to get out of Europe.

new carburetor which cuts down gaso-
line consumption of any motor including the
Ford, and reduces gasoline bills from one
third to one-half is the proud achievement of
the Air Friction Carburetor Co., 213 Madison
ST., Dayton. Ohio. This remarkable inven-
ton not only increases the power of all mo-
tors from 80 to 80 per cent but enables
everyone to run slow on high gear. 1t also
makes it easy to start Ford any other
car in the coolest weather without previous
ly warming the motor. With it you can use
the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half
gasoline and half kerosene and still get
more power and more mileage than you now
get from the highest test gasoline. Many
Ford owners say they now get as high as
40 to 80 miles to a gallon of gasoline So
sure are the manufacturers of the immense
saving their new carburetor will make that
they offer to send it on 30 days trial to
every car owner. AS it can be put on or
taken off in few minutes by anyone, all
readers who want to try it should send
their name address and make of car to

CHURCH WOMEN OF
LINCOLNCOUNTYIN
BIG WHISKY RAID

A raid on Lincoln county moon
shine stills, led by TWO women church
workers of Lincolnton, last week re-
suited in the capture of two COM
plete outfits and $500 gallons of beer,
according to a report received at the
office of Revenue Agent J. D. CAN'T
Monday morning.
The two church women, whose
names have been withheld by the
revenue agent for fear they would
suffer at the hands of the moonshine
element of the county, were begin
ming raid Oh the stills without out
side help when two deputies stalking
the same game arrived and the four
went in together.
In spite of some fifty signal shots
fired during the raid, the women re-
manned steady and assisted in the
destruction, of the liquor and appa-
ratus, according to the report. The
operators of the stills had fled and
were not captured. The stills were
about ten miles northwest of Lin
colntGn, it is said.
Deputies Scott, Jackson and NJ. F.
Kimsey were stalking the moonshine
plant from the south side when they
discovered two women doing appar-
emily the same thing from the west
side. Thinking they were taking food
to the operators, the deputies cap
tured the two women, only to dis
cover that they were church workers
intent upon the enforcement Of pro
hlbition in Lincoln county. When
Identification was mutually estab-
lished the four rushed the still and
destroyed it.
Completing this, the two women
led the deputies to a second still,
which met the same fate. In both
cases the liquor makers had fed,
warned by the efficient system of
rifle shot communication, which the
deputies say has been developed by
the moonshiners to a battling degree.

'BLUEBEARD'O OF
PARIS LAUGHS AT
HIS QUESTIONERS

Correspondence of the

has been made in the case of Land

French papers term him, who is
charged by the police with being
responsible for the disappearance of
thirteen women to whom he had
promised marriage.
The police have been Investigate

week Landru is taken from the
prison of La Sante to the office of

elicit from Landru evasive and at
times very witty responses. They
have got as far rs sweetheart num-
Der three, and Landru's hippant re-
plies have nearly driven the Judge
to nervous prostration. ---'7
Yesterday the judge announced
that he was going for holiday.
Landru Immediately Clipped in with
the request that he, too, be per-
mitted to take a vacation, as the
regime of La Sante did not agree
with him. Might he not be allowed
to go to his villa at Gambais and
hold himself at the disposition of
the court? 1t was from Gambais
villa that Landrus future spouses
disappeared, never to be heard of
since.
Judge BONN was asking Landru
this week how it was that his sor

furniture Of three of his f1ancees
did not make queries when moving

moval of furniture in six months

the judge.

do not discuss Them responded
Landru, 81 have my misgivings as
to the way you bring UP your Chill

Landru contended that he had an
order from Mrs. Guillin, drawn up
in legal form, giving him full power
of attorney to administer her prop
erty. This document was not found
among your. papers, therefore,
must conclude that il never existed, ~
said the judge.
'And as you and your police, with
all the means at your command, are
unable TO find Mrs. Guillin. must
therefore conclude that she never
existed" countered Landru.

growing weaker. There is no corpus

been, ransa cked by the police and

Steel Strike Not
Reflected in Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The steel
strike exerted little adverse inf1u-
ence over the stock market at the
opening of today's trading. Steel
shares were least disturbed of any
important issues, opening mostly at
gains, which extended from IL a
point in United States Steel to 1
point in Bethlehem and for Crucib1e.
Reactions in the first half-hour can
celled most of these gains, however.
Stocks dependent upon the stability
of the steel industry, such as equip
ments, were steady to firm, although
the motor group was inclined to
yield.
Trading was comparatively small
with no indications of urgent liqui-
dation. Commission houses reported
vehy small offerings for out-of-town
accounts.
