Sovereignty Unjeopardised
BY Leugue. Saws Whitman,

Charles S. Whitman, former Gov
ernor Of New York, has written to The
Tribune:
Our support of league of nations
10 necessary and logical corollary Of
our participation in the great war and
the peace which has concluded it. We
entered the war to combat the menace
OF Germany and her defiance of civili
cation. We will join in the league Of
nations as means Of expressing to all
the world our ever~present willingness
TO take up the sword to combat the
menace offered by any nation which as
surnes position SO opposed to law,
precept and ethics recognized by civ
ilizcd nations.
There has been talk about the SOW
ereignty Of the United States being
placed in jeopardy. America always
can take care Of itself. The United
States has, in the face Of opposition,
successfully asserted the value OF the
Monroe Doctrine for the peace of the

covenant Of the league of nations
should be adopted In its entirety.
No Practical Information
SENATOR POINDEXTER-That part
of the address describing the breaking
up of the German, Austro- Hungarian
and Turkish empires recites facts with
which all are quite familiar. But none
OF these throw any light whatever on
the very practical business of the
nature, power and method of operation
Of the league of nations. 1t is disap-
pointing that no definite reference was
made to these subjects, since this was
supposed to be the purpose Of his ad-
dress.
SENATOR FRELINGHUYSEN-
President pleads for his league Of ma
tions plan as the most important part
Of the treaty. OF the treaty itself
he said very little. The treaty should
be considered without delay---the
league can wait until we have had an
opportunity to scrutinize more closely
the responsibility it fixes upon the
United States. Apparently ii we
adopted the Presidents plan 1t implies
the surrender of certain national rights
which / am unwilling to surrender
to any nation on the face Of the globe.
Senate Unmoved, Says New
SENATOR McCUMBER-The address
very clearly and concsely explains
the difficulties that had to be over
come by the peace delegates in ar
ceptable at all. We shall hope to
receive from the Secretary of State
the special reasons which actuated the
peace delegates in formulating the ar
ticles of q long and comprehensive
treaty.
SENATOR new have attended
national Republican conventions for
great many years. / have seen the
galleries participate in twenty-mnute
demonstrations Of applause while the
delegates sat calmly and unmoved on
the floor, waiting until the applause
had exhausted itself. Then the dele
gates had gone quietly about the bust
ness for which they were elected. The
Senate will act in the same way re-
garding the treaty.
SENATOR SMOOTH was another
Wilsonian essay, but not up to the
standard.
SENATOR WALSH-The Presidents
rather of why a league is necessary
than justification in detail of the
provision made in that regard, which
perhaps no one expected at this time.
SENATOR EDGE-The Presidents
address was erstic-beautiful
language, but devoid of any explana-
tion of disputed points. The Senate,
representing the American people,
must consider detail effects, not alone
"the heart of the world"
EX-SPEAKER CANNON-I listened
to the President, recognized his aspira-
tions for the spread of truth and
rightfulness throughout the world,
noted that he left the explanation Of
the treaty or alliance with France for
another occasion, and I am no wiser
now than l was an hour ago, when l
entered the Senate chamber.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-11

it required a two thirds vote to adopt
an amendment or reservation to the
treaty, Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, pointed tonight to the adoption
of reservations to the treaty with
Great Britain in 1912, when majority
votes, one of which was as close as
Al to 38, put reservations on the treaty.
The Massachusetts Senator also
quoted from the Senate Rules, No. 81,
as follows:
"On the final question to advise and
consent to the ratification in the form
agreed to the concurrence of two thirds
of the Senators present shall be neces-
sary to determine it in the affirmative,
but all other motions and questions
upon treaty shall be decided by ma
jority vote, except motion to postpone
indefinitely, which shall be decided by
a vote of two-t thirds"

of nations since the President first
went to Paris--Senator Hitchcock Mr..
Hitchcock was on the committee which
went to the White House to notify the
President that the Senate would hear
him to-day. Senator Williams also
was on this committee of notification,
and has been second only to Mr.. Hitch
cock in support of the league. Neither
was included in the conference after
the address.
Mr.. Hitchcock issued little state
ment praising the Presidents speech
and started for New England, where
he will spend the weekend with his
family, returning to the Senate when
it reconvenes next Monday. This
news came as a surprise to the Ad-
ministration Senators, who had
thought that in the next few days the
President would send for Mr.. Hitch
cock, as leader on the floor, confer
with him about the details of the fight
for the treaty and supply him with
information to aid in resisting Repub-
lican attacks.
Explanations Due Later
Democratic Senators $said tonight
that the President undoubtedly would,
in view OF the omission of details from
his address, appear before the Foreign
Relations Committee. With Senator
Hitchcock gone out of town without
seeing the President, there was some
discussion among the Democrats as
to who should advise the President of
the strength of the opposition to Arti-
Gle X, and the extent of the support
of some of the affirmative amendments,
such as that safeguarding immigration
control
So far as could be learned, none Of
the Democratic Senators who talked
with the President warned the Presi-
dent of the strength of this opposition.
Senators Phelan and Pittman, who were
among those in the conference. said
afterward the majority could not force
the Senate to vote for an amended
treaty with no alternative
81 should Think" Mr.. Phelan said, "the
Senate would be allowed to vote on the
treaty with or without amendments.
By no rule could the Senate be denied
the right to vote for the league in it's
entirity. In other words, the majority
could not force the Senate to vote for
an amended treaty and nothing else"
Poor Advice Charged
Parliamentarians in the Senate said
tonight that the President had been
given bad advice by Senators Phelan
and Pittman, though not quite as bad
as that which caused Mr.. Wilson to
think it was necessary to have two
thirds vote to adopt an amendment or
reservation.
The only way vote can be obtained
on the treaty as it now stands, without
any amendments or reservations, it is
declared, is for the Senate first to vote
down, one at a time, all amendments
and reservations that are offered

Regarding failure Of the American n
mission IN behalf Of Irish Independence
to secure a hearing before the Peace
Conference, the President. according to
his visitors, said the members of the
mission had so thoroughly identified
themselves with the revolutionary ele-
msnt in Ireland before going to Paris
that 1t became impossible for them TO
be received by the Peace Conference.
The President indicated that he was
extremely gratified that the treaty of
peace had been ratified so promptly
by the German National Assembly. II
was pointed out that there were sew
eral million veteran soldiers in Ger
many and munitions sufficient for them
to operate. The Germans have from
one to four months in which 70 deliver
all material except that sufficient for
the reduced German army provided for
in the peace treaty, and the President
believes American troops should stay
on the Rhine until the material Is de-
livered.
League in AU Treaties
Discussing the peace negotiations at
Paris, President Wilson let 1t be
known that the league of nations COW
enant will be in every treaty nego-
tiated at VERSAILLES, including that
with Bulgaria, with which country the
United States never was at war.
In response to questions regarding
the Fiume situation, the President
pointed out that the treaty Of London
provided that Fiume was to GO to
Croatia and sthat Italy did not lay
claim to the city when that treaty was
signed.
Mr., Wilson feels tnar the United
States must play a generous part in
the reconstruction Of Europe, but he
believes this should be accomplished
by establishing some sound basis of
credit rather than by direct govern
ment aid.

.PENOLET0N YOUNG MAN
KILLED IN AUTO WRECK

The East Oregonian reports the
death'o of Fed Neagle. 10 year-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Neagle. Of Pen
dleton, who met instant death Tuesday
morning about ! o'clock, when the car
he was driving turned turtle, catching
him undernesth it. With the young
man was young woman whose in
juries are MT serious. The accident
occurred about quarter of mile east
of the Eastern Oregon State Hospital
where there is slight curve in the
road, and cause is attributed primarily
to the icy pavement. According to
the young woman they were coming
toward town at rate of between 20
and 25 miles an hour. when young
Neagle reached with one hand to close
the wind shield and as he did so the
car swerved slightly toward the side
of the road and he gave the steering
gear quick turn to bring it back in
the road. The auto, slipping, turned
completely over, the occupants beneath
it. The boys neck was broken and
death was undoubtedly instantaneous.
The car was found in this position
about J 80 by olney Sailing, a Goedecke
taxi driver who was returning from a
trip to Rieth. Coroner J. T. Brown
was called and the body taken to the
Brown chapel. There was no inquest.

HIS SWELLED HEAD REDUCED
Why Recruit at Camp Upton No Long.
er Brags of His Prowess With
the "Padded Mltts."

A certain husky, raw-boned recruit
from an interior town reached Camp
Upton recently and brought forth two
sets Of boxing gloves. He conlded to
his comrades that he was q mighty fine
boxer, and "back home" he had thrash
ed everybody who had tried conclus-
ions with him. This declaration nat,
surally was an invitation, and all
promptly professed to know nothing of
the manly art and asked IL he would
give them, a little instruction.
Flattered, the youth stated his will
ingness to obllge, and the following
day was set for the lesson. The pupils
promptly hunted up Benny Leonard,
the lightweight champion, who was
and is the boxing instructor at Upton,
and arranged for him to meet the re-
cruit. The latter was informed that
he was to give the first lesson to
very fresh y0ungster, and he agreed
to put the unknown in his place. When
Leonard was brought before him he
wanted to back out, stating that he
couldn't think Of boxing with a man
so much smaller than himself.
Leonard, however, insisted that the
lesson 60 on, and each put on his
gloves. During the "lesson" Benny
never struck blow, but contented
himself with feinting, ducking, dodglng
and blocking until the volunteer teach
er was so exhausted with his own eff
forts that he could scarcely stand. He
stopped finally, congratulated the
champion on his showing, said that he
did very well "for an amateur" and
then made his way to the barracks to
bed. When, later, he was informed of
the identity Of his antagonist, he said
several things more or less compliment
tary to those who had put up the Job
on him ard sent the gloves to his
nome, - -, - ~

CORRESPONDENCE
COURSE PROVIDED

A correspondence course provided for
both the Athena highland grade schools
is being utilized by teachers and pu-
pills. as it is in other parts of the
courty and state, to hold the school
work together during the enforced
closing on account of the influenza ep-
idemic.
The correspondence program as
adopted. embraces the mailing of lists
of questions in each subject to indi-
vidual pupils. who in turn mail the
answers back to the teacher. Self ex-
planatory is the following statement
mailed to pupils by Superintendent
Hall:
'In taking up again the home study
work, we are adapting ourselves as
best we can to the condition which pre-
walls not only in Athena. but also in
almost every city in Oregon. Many
schools have used the correspondence
system with varying results. Our for
mer work was generally very satisfac-
tory. The plan of work we are using
has the sanction of both county and
state superintendent.
"Just how many OF you will be able
to get credits for this SEN ester's work
depends entirely upon yourselves. FL
nal semester examinations will be held
few weeks after school reconvenes in
regular session. Some of you need
have no fear for the results. others
need to review consistently if they
are to be able to secure credits this
first half year.
Those who are willing to work
faithfully can graduate with their
classes in the usual time; those who
fail this semester must expect to be
one year longer. The work of this
week is entirely a review of the SEM
ester's work to date. Follow the in
structions in each subject as indicated
on the typewriter slip.
IA good soldier never gives up. but
increases his, efforts as difficulties
arise. You can foretell your future
success Cor failures). by your efforts in
this hame study work."
The full corps of teachers. with the
exception of Miss Horton, is actively
engaged in the course. Miss Horton,
who was instructor in the 9th and 9Th
grades, has resigned her position in the
schools on account of i'll health. She
will be succeeded in her work here by
