Writes Four Amendments to
Covenant Which President
Has Placed Before Confer

REVISIONS CONCERNING
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Washington Democrats Regard
League Opposition on Wane;
Confident Changes Will Sub
due Senate Republicans.
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.

Washington, March 27-EX-Presi
dent Taft is working by cable Will
President Wilson in an effort to sc
amend the league of nations covenant
so as to make it acceptable to opposi
tion of the Republicans. This was Of
ficially disclosed today when the
White House let it be known that the
peace conference in Paris is now
working on four amendments to the
covenant, written by Taft at President
Wilson's request.
The amendments have to do
largely, it is said, with safeguard
ing the Monroe doctrine, one of the
foremost points of contention be-
tween the president and Rspub-
lican senators.
WILSON RESPONSIVE.
Taft drafted his proposed amend
ments shortly after President Wilson s
return to France. Before dispatching
them, however, he asked Secretary Tu-
multy to inquire of the president
whether suggestions were in order.
The president responded that he would
be very glad to hear Taft's proposals.
The amendments were then cabled
the president through official chan
nels and the president personally ac-
knowledged receipt of them in a later
message for Taft.
He did not indicate, however, what
was being done about the amendments.
A further message today to the White
House disclosed that the president has
all four of the Taft amendments be-
fore the league of nations carpenters.
WELCOMES CRITICISM.
simultaneously with this develop
ment it was stated by those in intimate
touch with the president today that he
at no time had been unwilling to re-
ceive constructive criticism of the
original league covenant.
When definite suggestions had been
offered 1t was said that President Will
son had utilized this in attempting to
modify the document so as to make it
satisfactory.
Admiral Grayson, in a private cable
today, said the president is working
night and day, but is bearing up we'll
under the strain
President Wilson is understood to
regard the ten days between March 23
and about April 3, as the most crucial
in the whole peace conference This
may have accounted for the fact that
in cabling Taft regarding league sug-
gestions he urged haste in their dis
patch.
HIGH TIDE PASSED.
In administration quarters today the
view was expressed that the high tide
n tn ha %
has been passed and that both in con-
gress and throughout the country there
is marked upturn in favor OF a
league. Complete confidence Is voiced
that the league covenant. as re-
drafted in accordance with Republican
suggestion, will meet the demands of
opponents of the original draft Al
ready some opposition senators have
shown a tendency to be far more re-
ceptive toward the plan than at first.

TRACK CAMP WILL
 MOVE ID SIDING
 NEAR COAL FIELD

When the work of filling in the gap between stations No. 17641 and 17644 has been completed and track laying operations are again resumed, permanent siding is to be put in a short distance ahead of the gap, and the camp of the steel gang will be located there for the time being.
 The store at the Crossing (43- mile) will then probably be closed, and the building, which is sub- stantial log building, will be used as bunkhouse by the men of the new section to be formed, and which will be known as section No. six.
 The stock remaining in this store will probably be brought into town in a few days, as there is no fur ther need for a store at the Cross ing, and such supplies as will be needed for the grading contractors and camps of the A. E. C. that may be stationed beyond the end of steel next summer will be sent out on trains from town.
 According to the present plans of the Alaskan Engineering com mission, there will be hardly any work done on the main line south of town next summer; the entire force of men available are to be put to work on the line between Nenana and Fairbanks.
 But should the full amount asked for by Secretary Lane, $13,S00,000, be given by Congress, and this di- vision of the road given a fair share of this money, it will un- doubtedly alter the plans of the engineer in charge, and it is more than likely then that he will ar range to work on large scale, both south of town, as well as on the Fairbanks line.
 In this event it might become necessary to establish store as near the end of steel as possible on the main line south of town.

FISHERS LIVE LIKE MEN

PAPEETE, Island of Tahti-The Paumotu Islands-sometimes called "gold mine" of the eastern Pacific present a weird and picturesque scene during the season of pearl fishing.

It is the diver who will spend his earnings riding in the wheezy motor car which the owner operates along a half mile of hard beach. It is his earnings which attract host of others.
 In his habits of spending his earnings the Paumoto diver is much like the American prospector and miner of the days of gold strikes and boom mining camps. In the days of his prosperity nothing is too good for him. He buys the choicest of foods and timed goods. He is proud of the appearance of his women folk and lavishes on them silks, satins, laces, Chinese shawls, high heeled shoes, picture hats, and corsets, the last recent discovery. All of these things the trader thoughtfully has provided

No Extended Session.

The reply sent by MIR. Flood. as
quoted HI special dispatch from
Washington, is dignitcd bu. direct.
1t resents the imputation that the rev.
enue bill is "iil-considered, after
having been fully considered over a
period of several months by both
houses Of congress. 1t points out
that the time has long since passed
when those who consider .ne bill ill
considered and oppressive" should
have made known their views. Mr..
Flood generously assuming that they
had views on the subject at that time
AS a chncher. Mr., Flood shows that
the bill must be adopted as II comes
from conference or defeated as a
whole. Though the letter does not
say so, the governor is left free TO un-
-terstand that no high-haFa-a treat
ment OF an extended session" OF con-
gress will be in order. whatever may
be done 10 the Virginia legislature by
an arbitrary executive.
Moreover. the governor is reminded
that the defeat OF the bill would be
at once Reputation of the coun
try's financial obligations and a dis
tinct favor To those proiiteers who are
the main objects of taxation in the
schedule changes included in the
measure as it went 10 conference.
Mr.. Floods reply to the governor says
our telegram in reference to the
pending tax bill has been received.
note you say that the bill Is 'iil-con-
sidered and oppressive The bill as
1t passed the house provided for
raising eight billion dollars. This
amount was fixed by the house at tho
urgent request OF the president and
secretary of the treasury. After the
armistice was signed the administra-
ton informed members of the senate
would be possible to meet the obliga-
tons of the government if six billions
of dollars were raised. The war was
as much over then as II is now, and
the president did not consider a
measure raising six billion dollars OPP
pressive, and fixed this as the mini
mum amount necessary to meet the
obligations of the government,
II do not think the statement that
the bill was iIl-eonsidered can ha sus-
tanned II was considered in the
house and by It's committee for four
months; by the senate and its COM
mitiee for three months, and has been
in conference for three weeks. To
say that il is an ill-considered meas
ure is TO impugn the intelligence OF
those who proposed the measure, and
members of the senate and house
who prepared and supported it,
1T passed the senate some time
after the armistice was signed, and
the time when the bill was pending
in the senate after the signing of the
armistice was the proper time for
those who considered the bill i'll con-
sidered and oppressive to have made
their views known.
