DEMOCRATIC LEADEI, SCORED
FOR HIS PRE-wAR VIEWS AND
NEUTRAL ATTITUDE
HITCHCOCK DENIES CHARGES
Accused Of Remaining Passive Until
After Conflict Is Over, Then
Occupying Spotlight

Washington, Oct. g. Senator
Hitchcock. OF Nebraska, the admin
lstration leader In the senate, stirred
up hornets nest by linking the op-
position to the peace treaty with Dol
sheylsm and anarchIsm.
Senator .Poindexter. OF Washing
ton, republican, promptly retaliated
by reviewing Senator Hitchcoek's re-
cord before and during the war, and
charged that the administration
leader did everything in his power
to retard the allies up TO the point
where the United States entered the
war. He declared that the Nebraska
senator became prominent in his
anti-Germanism only after the war
was won.
The senator talked great deal
about the bolsheviki and II is not
very long since he was talking about
the pro-Germans being opponents of
the league" said Senator Poindexter.
1T seems to be quite bold atti-
tude for one 10 take, who. while the
lighting was going on between the
allies and Germany. was doing what
he could TO retard IL. at least up 10
the point where the United States
declared war, who on various occa-
sions introduced bills and resolu-
tions for the purpose of thwarting
the efforts OF our allies in their war
with Germany and to cut of the sup
plies OF munitions that we're neces-
sary for them to carry on the war:
who declared on various occasions
in congress that he sympathlzed
with the Germans; on other occa-
sions that he was neutral in this
war; who was not conspicuous at
any time, even when we entered the
war. In waging 1t to a victorious con-
clusion.
He only became prominent in his
anti-Germansm and his denuncia-
tlon or pro-Germanism after the
fight was over, There is always a
certain type>of men who safely place
themselves on the outskirts of
fight while the fight is going on
and after it is over they Immediately
take the center of the stage and be-
come exceedingly belligerent."
The senator has charged me with
being pro-German," shouted Senator
hitchcock. THE senator has no
ground for saying that during the
war | did not support that war to the
uttermost of my strength, doing
everything j could to add to the
efficiency of our departments fight
ing the war"

NORTH-SOUTH CHINA
CANNOT GET TOGETHER


Shanghai, Aug. 15.-C CCorrespon-
dence of the Associated Press. "A
definite move to bring about peace
between the Northern and Southern
factions in China was made this
month when the Picking government
appointed Wang Yi-tang, former
minister of finance. to head North
ern peace delegation to take up
again with the Southern representa-
tives the negotiations that were
broken off last spring. At that time
the North rejected eight demands
made by the South and so brought
to an end the Shanghai peace con-
ference.
A Peking dispatch of September
2s stated that the Southern dele
gates had refused to meet Wang vi
tang and that attempts to resume the
conference between Northern and
Southern delegations we're likely to
prove abortive. "A resumption of
aostilities were therefore feared.

Following Is an extract from SEN

Wednesday:
why ls there a demand TO rush
ratification? why the haste TO have
tho treaty ratified? We waited for
seven months while things were go
Ing on In secrecy and stealth in Par
is. and now there Is complaint about
the treaty and league being discussed
openly before the public for three
months. The reason for rush Is that
the advocates do not want the people
to know what the league means to
America.
''It Is popular to be pro-BrltIsh,
pro-French. pro-Italian and pro-
Japanese. want to make II pos
sibie 10 be pro-American. And I
object TO having anyone who rises a
voice against the league being called
pro-German. II you will scratch the
back OF the individuals who call out
'pro-Gcrman' YOU will find a man
who is British or who has received
favors from that source venture
to say this Is true In every newspa-
per Office where the paper uses such
words. There are thousands. hun
dreds of thousands OF good people in
this country who honestly believe In
the league hut they do not designate
as proGerman those other citizens
who fail to agree with them on this,
the most important matter In the
history OF the United States.
