clares New Draft .s More objec.
tionable in Some Mays Than
the Original Document.

Washington. J. May 17--Senator p. c.
Knox, Of Pennsylvania, sprung a sur.
prise on administration senators who
believed amendments made to the
league of Nations covenant had allayed
objections to that document.
In formal statement, brief, but
bristling in character, Senator Knox
said the new covenant was more OBJ
lcctionable than the original document.
He said it would be suicidal for the

such an arrangement as proposed, and
that the government of the United
States had no right to delegate to the
representatives of foreign powers such
functions as are proposed in the new
treaty.
AT the same time an informal poll
taken of the Senate showed that 55
senators are opposed to the document
as 1t now stands, and will compel its
amendment This is six more than the
necessary majority.
Seven on Doubtful List.
In the poll of senator's in addition
to the 55 favoring amendment, Z are
in the doubtful list and may eventual
ly decide to vote for amendments

Paris, May 17.-Grave dangers are
lurking beneath the surface of the

persons in close touch with the gen.
eral situation. This rests in the fact
that everybody is too ready to fight.
Against the theory that the European
nations are too exhausted to fight

shows all countries in the past have
been more warlike at the end of a
struggle than after an era of peace.

Considering the fact the Italian
army is not demobilized and that the
Italians now occupy all the territory

Through American influence IL is be.

the numerous minor wars that are be-

of peace between the Poles and Ukran-
ians would mean that General Haller's
army, recently transported from
France to Poland through Germany,
would be available In helping keep
back the bolsheviki. This would
merely be stopping one war to assist
