Two Strings to Americas Accept
ance of World League
Adopted by SoIons.
VETO POWER REJECTED
U. s. to Be Cole Judge Whether It's
Doctrines Have Been Fulfilled In
Case Of Withdrawal From League
Three Allies Must Approve.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The peace
treaty opponents in the senate have
scored another victory in their fight
By a vote of so to SO the senate
adopted reservation No. 2, after re
jecting every effort Of the administra
ton forces to kill 1t or weaken it with
amendments.
The reservation accomplishes two
highly important purposes:
First-It gives to the United States
the clear, absolute and unqualified
right to withdrawal from the League
of Nations upon two years notice.
Second-It empowers congress, by
majority vote, to withdraw the United
States from the league and shears the
president of all power to prevent with
drawal.
For the first time since the voting
on the treaty began, the republicans
stood absolutely solid, and all cast
their votes in favor of the reservation
All of the 35 votes against the reserva
ton were democratic, but five demo
Gratis Joined with the republicans ia
support of the reservation.
Text of Reservation.
The text of the reservation follows:
THE United States so understands
and CONSTITUTES Article that in case
of notice of withdrawal from the
League of Nations, as provided IN said
article. the United States shall be the
sole judge as to whether al, its inter
national obligations and its obligations
under the said covenant have heen full
filled, and notice of withdrawal by the
United States may be given by. con
current resolution of the congress OF
the United States"
No Veto Power.
se ahsss enres;tina - ska reserya
ton centered upon the provision CIV
ing congress the right to withdraw the
United States from the league by con
current resolution. A concurrent reso
luton requires merely majority vote
in both houses and the president has
no power to veto it. Numerous efforts
were made to amend this provision
and restore the presidents veto pow
err. but all were voted down.
Nelson's Amendment Debated.
Sharp debate ensued when Senator
Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, mild
reservationist, offered an amendment
to strike out the word concurrent
and substitute Joint" The effect OF
his amendment, simple though it ap
peared, would have been to give the
president the power to veto notice OF
withdrawal by congress.
Senator Nelson appealed to the sen
ate to accept his amendment on the
ground that its rejection would be 9
rebuke to the president.
The Nelson amendment was rejected
S. to 80. Only two republicans, Mel
son and McCumber, voted for it.
TWO Reservations Adopted.
Two strong strings to Americas &C
ceptance of the League of Nations and
the treaty now have been approved by
a majority of the senate. One requires
written assent of at least three leading
Allies to American reservations. The
other makes the United States the sole
judge of whether it's international du
ties have been fulfilled in case it wants
to quit the league.

VICTORY DUE TO

NATIONS ACTED JUSTLY
Victory Brings New Possibilities of
Political Freedom and Economic
cOncert-.aays Tribute
to Dead.

Washington, Nov. IL. President
WILSON'S message to the country on
armistice day is as follows:
To My Fellow-Countrymen:
"A year ago today our enemies laid
down their arms in accordance with
an armistice which rendered them i'm
potent to renew hostilities, and gave
! to the world an assured opportunity
to reconstruct its shattered order and
to work out in peace new and juster
set of international relations. . The
soldiers and people of the European
allies had fought and endured for
more than four years to uphold the
barrier of civilization against the ag-
gressions of armed force We our
selves had been in the conflict some
: thing more than year and a half.
With splendid forgetfulness of
mere personal concerns we remodeled
our industries, concentrated our fnan-
cial resources, increased our agricul-
tural output, and assembled a great
army, so that at the last our power
was a decisive factor in the victory.
We were able to bring the vast re-
sources, material and moral, of great
and free people to the assistance of
our associates in Europe who had
suffered and sacrificed without limit
in the cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory, there arose
new possibilities of political freedom
and economic concert. The war
showed us the strength of great ma
lions acting together for high pur-
poses, and the victory of arms fore
tells the enduring conquests which
can be made in peace when nations
act justly and in furtherance of the
common interests of men. To us in
America the reflections of Armistic
day will be filled with solemn pride in
the heroism of those who died in the
country's service. and with gratitude
for the victory, both because of the
thing from which it has freed us, and
because of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils of
nations"
"ooDhoW w lLOOIN.
Pershing Praises Patriotism.
In statement issued by General
Pershing, he says:
"As we pay tribute to our fighting
men, we remember that solidly be-
hind them stood the American people
with all our resources and our deter
mination. This common service has
welded together our people. These
experiences safeguard the future of
America, and enable us to look for
ward confidently to the development
of stronger nationality and deeper
sense of the obligations that rest upon
US. The exercise by the American
people of practical patriotism during
the war was an avowal of our firm
adherence to the principles of free
government that will continue to have
great influence upon the progressive
thought throughout the world. These
are = things which make this day
significant"

While no was at Bern attending the

questions. two dealing with Bavarian
domestic affairs. two with the rcspon-
sibility for the war. and ono with the
league Of nations. Through his secre-
tary. Felix Fechenbach. Eisner sent
me the written answers. The three
which are important now follow:
Question: Did the search Of the Sc
cret' archives at Munich shed new light
on the circumstance preceding and
surrounding the outbreak OF the war?
Answer: THE search is not yet An
iahed. However. already an enormous
mass OF highly interesting material
has been found in the diplomatic cor
respondence. The disclosures give
fresh weight to Germany's response
bility for the war.

sation between ex-King Ludwig. OF
Bavaria, and the former German am
bassador In Paris. Won Schoen. This
conversation is recorded in notes OF
the former imperial chancellor, Count
Won Hertling and officially fled in the
archives.
King Ludwig told the Ambassador
Won Schoen things must not be allowed
to go in this war as they did in 1870.
Belgium. he said. must be permanently
incorporated in Germany and Germany
must get the mouth OF the Rhine.
Furthermore King Ludwig Insisted
Bavaria must get portions of Aisace-
Lorraine. This conversation took place
August l., 1914.
But Ludwig wanted more than that;
he wanted to see German territory an
nexed to Bavaria, He wrote to DR..
Erxberger. now chairman Of the Ger
varia got Aisace-Lorraine he would
ronounce Bavaria's claims to portions
OF Boden and Hesse."
The next question dealt with the
war guilt Eisner's answer was:
Eek Emperor William Is partly re-
sponsible for the war, but the chief
blame falls upon the war Industries
and the military caste. We have no
objection against the culprits being
brought to trial. but they must be
tried by = German tribunal. not by for
eigners. All culprits must be brought
to Justice. including those who looted
and invaded enemy lands. The stolen
goods must be returned to their right
ful owners and the criminals pun
ished."
Question: What do you think OF
the league Of nations. the peace nego-
tfations at Paris. and the Bern con-
gress?'
Answer: "1t IN to be hoped that the
Bern congress brings q regeneration
of the international. for II Ia the first
time that delegates from the belliger-
emit countries sit at q common council
table.
The league OF nations must not be
consequence OF peace. but the con-
clusion Of peace must be sequel TO
the formation OF such a league

gfess win not fail to make It's effect
felt In the peace negotiations at Paris"
