UPHOLDS TREATY
AS TT STANDS

The mandatory system for the for
mer German possessions was next
EXPLAINED and the President empha-
sized the fact that in all the treaty
no single act Of annexation is re-
corded. He explained what could be
expected under the mandatory sys-
tenn and he painted a picture Of
strong nations playing the part Of
fairy godmothers" almost to weaker
peoples under their tutelage. There
was something akin to a tremor in
his voice when, after rcciting the
good that would come 10 those
weaker peoples, he said:
"Why. those clauses, my fellow
citizens. draw the hearts Of world
into the league. draw the noble
impulses Of the world together and
make a Z. hem"
This up the Presidents s
first p, rhe treaty to the
people. .ction TO his con
clusion Va lslng.
Even the ST. &c, car strike failed TO
materially lessen the interest in see
ing that the President was given q
vociferous welcome here today. The
streets from the station 10 Memorial
Hall were lined with cheering thous-
ands and when the President COM
menced his speech the hall was
packed TO the roof with 400 people

He said he believes he knows the
real heart Of the American people
better than the. foes of ,the treaty
know 1t.
The treaty rectihed age-long
wrongs in Europe. Wilson stated,
which had been fertile sources of
wars for generations.
The President apparently made no
oratorical effort, but explained the
treaty with painstaking detail. like
lecturer.
The treaty. he said, "is shot
Though with the American prin-
ciple of letting the people pick the

| The treaty contains among other
things a Magma Charta of labor, a
thing unheard of until this inter-
esting year of grace" the President
declared. He added that an inter-
national labor conference would be
held in Washington next month un-
der provision contained in the
league covenant.
And let me tell you" he added
grimly. thrusting out his Jaw, that
conference will meet next month no
matter whether the treaty is ratified
by that time or not"
There is not a single act of an
nexation in this treaty" he said,
explaining tlat mandates under the
league were for protection, and ad-
vancement OF undeveloped peoples.
| Criminal traffic is ended by the
treaty, he asserted, enumerating the
traffic in opium. in arms, and in
women and children by unscrupulous
| employers
That's the treaty" he said, hold
ing out his hands, palms upward,
in a gesture Of revelation. That's
the treaty. Did you ever hear OF it
before? Were you ever told what
was in IT.

ing Lawrence Hudson.

MORMON BIBLE CITED
In FIGHT ON LEAGUE
BY SENATOR SMOOT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,


strong Democrats. The idea OF a
league OF nations to prevent wars
has been generally approved of
among Mormons.
Its advocatesA however, have been
thrown into some CONSERVATION by
Smoot's quoting, from the Book of
Mormon, certain passages set down by
Joseph Smith in. 1882, p"nphesying a
climaxing series of wa until the
Lords second coming on earth.
Predicts 1t Won't End War.
These passages, says Smoot, make IL
clear that the league of nations. as a
preventer of wars, will fail.
Strength is added to the claim, In
the minds of Morrnons, from the fact
that in the clearest of these passages,
Smith prophesied the outbreak OF the
civil war thirty years before II hap
pened, even mentioning South Caro-
lima as the State in which it would
start.
The Indian wars were prophesied at
the same time. These portions OF the
Mormon revelations. it Is said, have
been fully borne out.
A series Of meetings that will un-
dOubtedly arouse a high pitch OF ex-
citement has been arranged for the
Mormon tabernacle by Presiding
Bishop c. w. Nibfey.
Here Are the Prophec IS.
Following are some of the Mormon
prophecies cited by Senator Smoot to
show that the league OF nations is
not divinely inspired and cannot pre-
vent wars" They were published by
Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet,
in 1892:
And I. Nephi, beheId that the Cen

And thus. with the sword. by blood

Omitted Press staff Correspondent }
PARIS. April 11.--Confirmation Of
a bolsheviki plot to- seize Germany as
an initial step in a worldwide pro-
letarian revolution was received in
government circles here today. it is
announced. According TO available in
formation the bolshevik scheme Is
this: The Spartacans-with the pos
sibIe acquiescence of the present gov
ernment-will assume administrative
power in Germany during or imme-
diateIy after the Versailles congress
Once in control they will greet the
allied demands with folded arms and
general attitude of do what you
like but as far as we're concerned
We'll do nothing"-meaning they will
refuse to pay indemnlties or carry out
any of the other peace terms
The Spartacans thus hope to force
the allies to occupy central Europe
which they believe would embitter
the allied peoples against their gov
ernments. With allied arms in the
interior of Germany the Spartaeans
would conduct active propaganda TO
convert the troops to bolshevism.
Confident of success in this the SPAR
tacans believe the troops, retnrnins
to ,their own countrios woalds carry
the seeds of revolt into soil made fer,
tile by the miscarriage of allied peace
terms combined with the general So
cial unrest of the world.
