BORAH APPLAuDED
BY DEMOCRATS ON
REPLY To TAT 7
Strong Arrangement of Pro-
posed League Of Nations Is
to Be Followed by Speeches
by Other Senators.


Washington, Feb. 21.-Criticising
the league of nations as 1.-The most
radical departure" from President
Washingtons policies and as spelling
the end of the Monroe doctrine, Sem
ator Borah of Idaho, republican mem
ber of the foreign relations commit
tee, declared today in the senate that
before the plan was adopted the
American people should be allowed to
give a verdict on it.
The Idaho senator, who recently
declined President Wilson's invitation
to a White House conference next
Wednesday to discuss the league con-
stitution. insisted that the United
States should steadfastly cling to
Americanism as established by the
fathers and as recently defined by
former President Roosevelt. He
charged former President Taft with
making misleading statements about
the effect OF the leagues plan on
American policies.
Borah Congratulated.
When Senator Borah concluded an
unusual demonstration occurred
While crowded galleries applauded,
senators and visiting representatives
crowded around the senator seeking
to congratulate him. Among the
senator's were several democrats, in
Guiding Thomas of Colorado, Gore of
Oklahoma, Smith of Georgia and Var
daman of Mississippi.
Before Mr.. BOrah spoke Senator
Sherman of Illinois, republican, in
troduced a resolution proposing that
the senate request President Wilson
not to discuss the league until after
he confers with the senate, the co-or-
dinate treaty making branch, and to
"preserve an impartial and unbiased
mind" on the subject
Tomorrow the attack on the league
in the senate is 10 be continued with

speaking. Senator Hitchcock, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee and Senator Lewis, of Illinois.
democratic whip, are reported plan
ming addresses in support of the
league early next week, when Sena-
tor Cummins, of Iowa, republican,
may speak against it.
Replies TO Taft.
Senator Borah said he made his
speech today especially, because of
what he termed misleading state
ments of former President Taft. He
disagreed with Mr.. Taft's assertions
that the league does not conflict
with the Monroe doctrine or Wash
ington's injunctioE against entang
ling alliances.
Declaring that America would be
out-voted five TO one by England
alone, because Of the recognition of
British colonies Senator Borah said
the league constitution was ."thc
greatest triumph Of English diplom-
acy of three centuries He added
that the English press and other for
eigr authorities concede that the
plan involves the end of the Monroe
doctrine.

Copenhagen. Feb. 21-Kurt Eisner,
the Bavarian premier, was shot and
killed today by Lieut.. Count Arco
Valley as Eisner was on his way from
the foreign ministry in Munich to the
diet, says Il Munich dispatch. The
shooting occurred in the Pranner-
strasse and death resulted from two
shots fired from behind into his head.
Munich, Feb. 81 (by the Associated
Press) Herr Auer. Bavarian min
lister of the interior. has been shot.
The shooting took place during a
session of the landtag, while Auer
was allpding to the assassination of
Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier.
Auer fell wounded in the left side
and Deputy Osel was killed and two
other officials were seriously wounded,

Kurt Eisner, who seized the reins
of government in Bavaria after the
deposition Of the royal family early
in November, was q socialist of the
more radical type and recent reports
heading Spartacan movement
against the moderate and conserva-
tive factions In Bavaria.
The Arco Valley family had been
prominent in Bavaria and Germany
for years, count of that name hav-
ing died at Rio Janeiro in 1909 while
German minister to Brazil.
Eisner, a Jew, was born in Galicia
and at one time was editor n-chief
of the Vorwaerts of Berlin. Eisner
always had been opposed to the Ger
man ajority socialists and since his
rise to power in Bavaria had repeat
edly attacked President Ebert and his
colleagues. Eisner was not delegate
to the German national assembly,
having been defeated by an over
whelming vote in the elections.
Herr Auer was a member Of the
majority socialist party. He first
came into prominence last November,
at the time of the revolt in Bavaria,
taking the portfolio of minister of the
interior in the new cabinet
The following month, when the
period of unrest in Munich became
grave, Auer was compelled. at the
points of revolvers of revdlutionists
who visited his home at night, to re-
sign.
A short time afterward the min
isterial council of the people of Ba-
varia expressed its anger over the
forcing of Auer to relinquish his posi-
tion and declared that his resignation
naturally is void and the minister
remains a member of the govern
ment." The document was signed by
Kurt Eisner, as minister president.
Last December seventeen prominent
men, including one non-Bavarian
duke, were arrested in Munich charg-

conference with the local soldiers

lutionary plot was on foot and that
Auer was connected with It. In a
speech in the Bavarian chamber of

posed to intervene with arms against

The steamship George Washington. on

to the United States is today pro-

The accompanying torpedo boat
destroyers shipped such heavy seas
and we're having such bad time
that they were ordered to fall behind.
The giant battleship New Mexico,
making her first long run. was un-
able to keep up, because of the stiff
ness of her machinery, and when 1t
became apparent that the George
Washington was being held back by
her guardships. President Wilson ex-
pressed the wish that his steamer
should proceed alone, If necessary.
Therefore the New Mexico also
dropped out of line, and when day
broke neither the battleship nor any
of the four destroyers was in sight.

would be idle to speculate upon the
position history will accord to him
because of the principles he has ennn-
ciated since the value of those prin-
ciples turns upon their application,
but it is quite possible to establish
through analysis the direct effect Of
the presidents influence in the sixty
days of the life of the conference.
That examination shows him to
have been the dominant figure in all
phases of the matters under consider
alton. He has dominated not because
of his personality but because of his
precepts; not because of his political
science but because of his human un-
derstanding.
He has east the conference in a new
dimension in which the quest has been
for the fruits of peace rather than the
spoils of war Justice and reason
have been his simple rules OF conduct,
and they have proved his strength
against opposition some OF it honest,
some of it mendacious. He has fought
against the forces of reaction. Of

and of selfishness, and he has tri-
