That the Butte Wilmer, owned by
a man named Clark, who bribed his
way in the the United States senate,
is disloyal, seditious and anarchistlc
was the practically unanimous opin-
ion expressed last night at the meet

Before the close of the meeting a
committee was appointed to present
facts and figures and clippings from

them to the federal government in
an effort to show its lying, disloyal
utterances and tactics.
The files of the paper have been
secured and articles are being taken
from same to show that the paper
was pro-German previous to and
shortly after war was declared and

was compelled to.

ARMISTICE
THE ! | ONLY
TREATY
That Can Properly Be Con-
sidered at Peace Table, Is
the Opinion of Many War
Experts.
BY FRED s. FERG USON.

Copyright, 1919, by United Press.)
Paris, Jan. 30.-Secret treaties
effected by the allies before America
ally accepted as constituting the
most serious menace to a permanenE
and democratic peace, are invalid.
They are swept away by accep
tance of the armistice terms, include
ing President Wilson'S Ia principles,
as outlined in his speech of Jan. s,
and subsequent speeches and Were
doubly nullihed when the aillta
agreed to the principle of a league ut
nations.
The United Press is able to state
this on the authority of the highest
international law experts in Paris.
According to them the terms OF the
armstice are binding and supercede
every previous agreement.
The armistice, therefore, is the
only treaty that can properly be con-
aidered in peace conferences. The
formation Of a league of nations will
make certain that all understand
ings" will be cancelled.
Tire AInei,italt reople oonseGuantiq
need entertain no fear that secret
treaties will interfere with their
ideas of a proper peace settlement
This authoritative opinion is espe-
cially significant in view of the dis
cussion of territorial claims and
probably explains the confidence in
certain quarters that imperialistic
ambitions of some of the associated
powers will not be released.
Reports have been published OF
the secret treaty between Japan and
Great Britain in 1916, giving Japan
the right to retain the Caroline and
Marshall island groups. The pact
of London" also made certain con-
cessions to Italy, especially regard
ing Dalmatia. Italy is understood to
have already agreed to the readjust-
ment of her frontiers on lines of ma
tionality. thus practically repudiat-
/ ing negotiation, her contribution to
secret treaties.
Japan is still making fight for
realization of her colonial claims,
but it is believed certain that her
ambition will be overwhelmed by q
virtually unanimous determination
to make the league of nations re-
pository for all territorial disputes.

NEEDED
Republican Senator Johnson

Boys Settling Europe's
Back Yard Quarrels.
(Special United Press Wire.


Washington, Jan. 30. - Senator
Johnson today outlined the policy
the senate progressives will demand

1t is: That the government bring
home all American soldiers over

can business into normal channels;
let American life, social and eco
nomic, be American again.
johnson summed it up as follows:
Its time for an American policy.
The senator took issue with Sena-
tor Lodge, republican leader, on the
recently announced foreign policy,
which, by virtue of Lodges position,
has since been construed as the re-
publican party's policy, and said ::
Recently the republican leader
stated with clarity and precision his
views of our future policy. John
son stated that he deemed its essen
tial to create a number of small ma
tons, 10 in all, and to include indie
pendence of Russia's six Baltic prov
inces, and that, in addition, we must
take and hold ample security from
Germany and Austria.
He said that he had no quarrel
with the creation of new states, but
quoted Lodges statement that the
United States must do it's share in
the occupation of German territory
and helping to stabilize new gov
ernment, saying he couldn't Sub
scribe to this doctrine,' and said
that it would mean maintaining
those nations with American sol
diers

boys policing Europe and quelline
