WILSON BETTER BUT MUST STAY
 ABED FOR TIME

PASSED X GOOD NIGHT BUT PHYSICIANS SAY THAT HE REMAIN IN HIS BED FOR AN FIX TENDED PERIOD FOR SAFETY'S SAKE.
The daily Alaska citizen., 1919-10-12

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. t1.-(Ry The announcement of Rear Admiral Grayson and three other physicians that President Wilson will not be able to leave his bed for an extended pe- riod has revived a discussion of the effects of his iInness on public af- fairs. Connected with this phase of the matter is whether or not it will be deemed to be expedent to have his office filled by another and if SO who is to be the judge of such expe- diency. If the President s unable to give executive business the atten- ton it requires, the constitution pro- vdes that the vice president shall act during the chief executives disa- bility, but there is no precedent for such a transfer of authority. The legal advisers of the government are puzzled over who should declare that disability exists, whether it rests with the cabinet, with congress or the supreme court.

BACK IN BED.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11.-(P) A statement issued this afternoon by physicians in attendance on Presi- dent Wilson declares that he must re- main in bed for an eXtened period in order to insure complete recovery.
 This statement has stirred afresh the anxiety over President Wilson's condition despite the repeated assur- ances that he is showing steady i'm provement Rear Admiral Grayson an nounced, however, that there had been no unfavorable developments in the case, and that keeping the President in bed was simply a pre- cautionary measure for safety's sake.

LEASING BILL IS ABANDONED WHEN
 VOTE IS DEVISED
,LaFollette Prevented Vote On Conference Report
 In Senate.

Washington, March 1.-The oil and coal land leasing bill virtually was killed late today when obstruction led by Senator Lafollette, of Wisconsin, republican, prevented vote on the conference report which had been adopted by the house. Managers and opponents of the bill agreed that there now is practically no chance of securing action on the bill before con- gress adjourns.
 Senator Pittman, of Nevada, chair man of the senate managers, amour ced tonight that no further effort would be made to bring up the bill for consideration at this session unless opponents indicated desire to aban- don their fight. That, he added, ap- peared improbable.
 He declared oil and coal and other minerals should be held for the benefit of the people and that instead of pass i ing general leasing law at this time congress should work out genera
 program for developing these lands
 and frame proper legislation to car ry it into effect.
 The oil leasing bill has been pend
 ing in congress for four years, bu this was the first time that the meas lure had been passed by both houses

 nitions Restricted.
(By The Associated Press.)

Paris, March 1.-Marshal Foch pre- sented today to the council of the great powers the military terms to be incorporated in the peace treaty. These will be considered Monday with the naval terms already submitted to the council.
 The military terms provide for the disarmament of Germany down to twenty divisions of ten thousand men each, including fifteen division of in- fgantry and five of cavalry. Severe re- strictions are placed on the manufac- ture of all classes of war materials, and the military and commercial use of the airplane is limited to the minimum.
 Beyond Marshal Foch's presentation of the terms today they were not dis cussed.
 The naval terms now before the council provide not only for the com- plete suppression of Germany's sub marine equipment, but also for the termination of all submarine warfare by all nations throughout the world, thus ending the use of the submarine in naval warfare.
 The provision for dismantling the Qualifications of Helgoland and Kiel ,canal has been made the subject of reservation by Admiral Benson, rep resenting the United States, whereby this shall not be precedent applicable to American harbor and canal defense such as Hell Gate and others. | The proposal for the destruction ot large German warships is approved in the report by the British and Ameri. can authorities, but the French still make reservations against the de. struction of these ships.
 The supreme council is expected te pass on this and other naval and oth. CT military subjects Monday

BISHOP MOuzON
 uPHOLDS LEAGUE
 OF NATION PLANS
Scores Congressmen Who Oppose Covenant for
 Partisan Reasons.

In speech at the banquet last night at the Y. M. c. A. which was given complimentary to him, by the official boards of the four churches, Bishop E. D. Mouzon, head of the Methodist church, South, diocese of Texar, Oklahoma and Arkansas, ad- vocated the League of Nations, and scored those members of Congress who for personal and partisans reasons. were attempting to deprive the world of the peace which it asked. He stated that the League of Nations means a brotherhood of man. It means peace, and lasting peace for the world, he stated, and those members of Con- gress who for personal animostity towards the president, and for purely partisan reasons, were attempting to block it, were to be thoroughly censur- ed
 Results of War.
 Bishop Mouzon dwelt slightly on the after effects of the world war, speaking more particularly on the part the churches would play in the reconstruction. "The church has re- sponsibility," he said, land there must be no religious groups. There must be no religious cliques, and no church must withdraw within itself, segregate itself from other churches, but all must work together" The banquet is said to have been one of the most delightful affairs of recent date. There were many ladies' present, and Rev. w. c. Watson, as toast master enlivened the occasion with many pertinent and appropriate witticisms. About a hundred people were in attendance. l Besides Bishop Mouzon, speeches were made by Attorney Nick Can't ID. V. Niven. w. B. Nicks, ". w. Fay. Tor, Judge w. B. Sorrells, with Rev NV. c. Watson toast master.
 ! Bishop Mouzon will preach at the First Methodist church this morning at II o'clock and tonight at the Lake. jside Methodist church.

FRESHMEN WIN IN FIGHT FOR
 RECOGNITION
Rules Committee Give Right
 of Way to Resolution.
WANT AMERICANS
 TO PRESENT CAUSE
Resolutions oi the Philadelphia Con- Ncnti0n Are Presented
 To President.

Washington. March l.--The delega- tion of prominent American citizens of Irish descent appointed at the re- Iccnt Irish race convention in Phila delphia won it's fight today for action by the house rules committee to give right of way in congress to a resolu tion instructing the American delega tes at Paris to urge lrcland's cause before the peace conference.
 After hearing the delegation, which was headed by Justice John w. Golf and Daniel F. Cohalan, of New York, the rules committee agreed to report out a rule making the resolution in order in the house before adjomna- ment.
 Later, the delegation, which arrived in Washington Tuesday, called at the White House to see President Wilson and personally present to him resolu- tons and memorials adopted at the the Philadelphia convention. They failed to see the president, but were told he would received them in New York next Tuesday night after he speaks at the Metropolitan Opera House on the league of nations. Give Statement.
 Tonight John F. Grace, former may or of Charleston, s. C., and member of the delegation gave out statement saying:
 "All during the war it was pre- sumed that among the small nations America was fighting to establish in security was surely Ireland, to which, as Washington and the patriots of America acknowledged they owed 1 in the Hateful hours of the revolu- tion than all other foreign powers combined; but when the committee from the Philadelphia convention got to Washington, it met with strong series of forbidding difficulties.
 "Twenty one men from as far west as the Pacific Coast and from New England and the South, solemnly left their important affairs and arrived in Washington Tuesday night, accord ing, as they supposed, to an appoint ment at the White House of Wednes- day to receive them. Wednesday pass. ed, Thursday passed, Friday passed and practically the whole of Saturday and they have not seen the president yet. They had great difficulty even in seeing his secretary.
 ShadOwirg Required.
 Word has come to them through many supposedly authentic channels that they would be seen at this hour or that hour, or on this day or on that day. At last the committee, in indigna- tion, made up it mind that dignity, if nothing else, required showdown; Either the president, through his buf. fers, was trifling with the time and the rights of American citizens ol some one was failing properly to put the matter before him. Whatever was happening, days were passing and ht was about to sail for Europe, with the case of Ireland absolutely untouched

KNOX SUGGESTS A SUBSTITUTE
 FOR COVENANT
Would Establish Interna- tional Court of Justice.
HARDWICK JOINS IN
 ASSAULT ON PLANS
Beth Declare Present League Will Promote War and Ei-
 feet Doctrine.

Washington, Mar. IA bipartisan assault on the proposed constitution of the league of nations was made to- day in the senate, the speakers being Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. a re- publican member of the foreign rela tions committee, and former secre- tary of state. and Senator Hardwick of Georgia, democrat, who retires March l..
 The constitution of the league as tpresentad to the peace conference was sharply criticised by both sena- tors. They declared that it would pro- mote war and that it contravened the Monroe doctrine, reduced American sovereignty, conflicted with the con- stitution, and would force submission of fundamental American domestic and national questions to a world tribunal
 Suggests Court.
 After attacking the proposed con- stitution, article by article, Senator Knox suggested as constructive measure substitute world organiZa- tion-an international court of jus tice administering an international code of law, supplemented by trea- ties between the separate nations for arbitration and other agreements for the maintenance of world peace.
 Both floor and galleries were croWd- ed when the senators spoke. but as result of warnings from Vice Presl- dent Marshallf there were no demon- strations by spectators. Senator Knox, however, was congratulated by sena- tors who grouped about him when he had concluded his address of little more than an hour
 No reply was made from the demo- cratic side and the only other pre- pared address on the league of na- tions before adjournment Tuesday probably will be that of Senator Sher- man of Illinois, republican, who eX- poets to speak Monday.
 Knox Takes Floor. Senator Knox, who attended the mer secretary of state, speaking today in the senate, assailed the league of nations as striking down American constitutional principles and proposed a new world organization which, he said would preserve the Monroe doc- Urine and save America from the re- suits of European intrigue and ag- i gression." Senator Knox( who attended the white hous dinner conference last "Wednesday, with other members of the senate foreign relations commit tee, said the constitution of the league as presented to the peace conference "sanctions, breeds and commands war;, and after criticising various clauses of the document, asked:
 "Why this feverish anxiety for the adoption of this plan Why this rac- ing up and down the land by rropa gandists urging it's adoption? What benefit is to come from such sale of the country as is urged upon us Who are the beneficiearies of this betrayal of our people?
