for nearly year. Formal peace should
have been ratified at least eight months

important there should be formal rat

delayed the ratification of peace, or
even the formulation of peace terms,

Wilson Called
world Menace
BY oindexter
Senator Asserts President
Is Fomentor of Anarchy
in Speech Prepared for
Queens County Meeting

United States Senator Miles Poin-
dexter, of Washington, last night
charged President Wilson with being q
fomentar Of revolution and anarchy in
all countries, and world menace. His
attack was contained in typewriter
manuscript issued just before he made
his appearance as the principal speaker
at mass meeting and rally Of Re-
publicans Of Queens County, at Ivan
hoe Park, Ridgewood.
Senator PoindeXter departed from
the manuscript in the speech he made
to a thousand men and women, and
confened himself to an offensive
against the league Of nations along
familiar lines. Mention of the league
was greeted with prolonged Kisses.
In his prepared speech, Senator Poin-
dexter said, in part:
"The President is the worlds worst
menace. The Reds Of the world re-
gard him as their leader. His abuse
of power in coming to the rescue Of
the dynamiter Mooney in California,
the murderer Eilstrom in Utah, the
anarchist Robert Minor in France, and
in attempting, and succeeding to some
extent, to set aside the processes Of
civil and military justice in the

Tour a Greater Triumph
For Wilson Than His Cause
Women and Children Provided Most of Cheers
and Warmth of His Welcome, but Close Observ-
Doubt He Won Many Converts to League

sec the President. In nearly every IN
stance, the committee Of arrangement g
contained more Republicans than Dem
ocrats, lending support to the saying
that the greeting was to the President
as President and was non partisan.
In view of these facts, the tour may
be considered n personal triumph of
magnitude. The political effect is
rroblematical. Governor Shoup, of
Colorado, told The Tribune correspond
ent that the President had helped
along his cause, and that his address
was educational; that the people had
not understood until they heard him
what the league of nations really was.
This was made clear also at Salt
Lake, where the vast Mormon Taber-
nacle audience received q rcproof from
the President for applaudng the stand
of the opposition Senators before the
President had made it clear TO them
just what was involved in such OPP
position.
1t goes without saying that Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, Of California, has
an uphill fight on his hands in his ma
tive state in trying TO controvcrt the
Presidents position, because for months
the people of his state have been as
surcd by even the Republican press
that the league should DC adopted as it
stands. On the whole it probably is a
fact that while sentiment is not crys-
tallized either for or against the treaty
crystallized in California, Oregon and
Washington.
Soldiers Oppose Treaty
One thing more should be said in
summing up the situation, and it is
that the returned soldiers, generally
speaking, are almost to u man opposed
to the treaty as it stands, because the
government in it's Interpretation of the
nations obligations under Article X
might find it necessary to send an
American army to Europe. The Trib-
une correspondent talked to soldiers In
nearly every city, and in not a single
instance did he find one in favor of an
international agreement that might
cause him to shoulder his gun and take
ship for Europe. The unanimous YER
dict seemed to be, we have had enough
Of Europe"
1t probably is true that very much of
the sentiment in favor of the treaty
created by the President in the last
three weeks is susceptible of change or
modification by persistent educational
campaign. If. for instance, the Ameri-
can Legion in it's national convention
in Minneapolis, if the treaty should be
pending then, conveying the sentiment
of thousands of it's members, should
see ut to go on record against any pol
ICY involving the sending of an Ameri-
can army to foreign countries, the ef-
feet of such stand among the voters
would be farreaching, and might en-
tirely neutralze the effort put forth
by the President in the last three weeks
to convert the masses to his way of
thinking.

ON BOARD THE PRESIDENTS
SPECIAL TRAIN. Sept. 27.-President
Wilson's tour to the coast was un-
douhtedly a personal triumph, but the
question whether it was D. triumph for
the President Of the United States or
tor the league of nations is still an
open one. The evidence indicates it
was more triumph for the President
as President than for the cause he
advocated.
The assertion probably will go IN
controvertcd that the tour would not
have been triumph had it not been
tor the women and the children. In
many instances the men were I'M
demonstrative, but the women and
children never.
Young America was there with flag
and shout. He did not know anything
about the league of nations, nor did
he care & copper about the idea. But
he was out of school for the day on
account Of the presence Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States. He and
his little sister were a constant Joy
to the President and Mrs. Wilson. And
when the Presidents car had passed q
given point, thousands Of wrcgling
boys and girls sifted past the out
stretched clubs of the guardians of
zen Of the country with wild acclaim.
The tribute was a splendid one, and
brought tears to the eyes Of the Chief
Executive.
These boys and girls---these are
my clients. am speaking for them
said the President to his Denver
audience.
Not a Flat Failure
From the FIRST address at Columbus
until he wcarily obcyed the percmptory
order OF Admiral Grayson, his physi-
c'an to end his tour, there was not q
meeting which could truthfully be
called fiat failure. The lack Of en-.
thusiasm in Omaha and Bismarck was
marked and perhaps disappointing, but
the streets were lined with crowds lust
the same and the bad" spots were
forgotten in the memory Of the ire
mcndous enthusiasm at Seattle, Port
land. Tacoma, Los Angeles and San
Diego.
At Minneapolis, the only place where
as 100000 people stood through a light
drizzle awaiting the coming of the
President from St. Paul. The audi
forums invariably were filled as soon
as the doors were opened and, at times
when the address was set at III early
hour, as ct Wichita, the hall was full
at Z o'clock in the morning.
AT Oklahoma City, it was said TO-
day, there were 100000 on hand to
welcome the President At both
Wichita and Oklahoma City there was
great disappointment and sympathy
over the illness Of the President and
the failure to see him.
Non-partisan Welcome
The tour was at season Of year
when people generally had time to

with foreign powers arc pro- German
and Bolshevists, or that they are en-
couraging Bolshvism. The hypocrisy
OF such a charge is evidenced by the
tact that it required the constant press
ure of public opinion to keep the Presi-
dent himself from following the exam
pie of the Bolsheviki in betraying the
Allies and making peace with Germany
IN the midst Of the war. This is a mat
ter of official record. On January s,
l9lo, he Endorsed and eulogized the
conduct Of the Russian Bolsheviki in
their trai .orous peace and betrayal Of
the Allies at Brest- Litovsk. lie in
dorsed their terms of peace. He now
claims to be strongly anti-German, but
it was long time before, as the head
OF the American government, he came
to the assistance to civilization in it's
dire need against the German attack.
THE Presidents statements in the
various speeches he has recently made
about the league Of nations are full of
direct misstatements of facts. He said
at Salt Lake City that the league cove
nant did not give six votes to Great
Britain. In the same speech he said
that it did give SIX votes to Great
Britain, but that these six votes were
no more effective than the one given
to the United States. Both Of these
statements were contrary to the facts.
AssembIy's Power Understated
"Hc stated that the assembly of the
league would have no power TIE fact
IS that the assembly of the league ex-
ercises the most colossal powers in
the league government, it being pro-
vided by Article XIV that any contro-
versy of whatever nature between ma
tions may be carried to it by either
party to the controversy. The Pres-
dent says that the assembly merely
talks. This is wholly contrary to the
fact. Article XIV provides in express
terms that it shall decide. Those de-
cisions will be upon questions involv-
ing the life of nations and the well
fare of their people.
