IN AGONIzEO SILENCE
German Assembly Listens to
Reading of New Terms.
Herr Erzberser Announces Conditions
and Members Realize Germany
Is Crushed.

Weimar, Feb. 20.-The party
speeches in the national assembly suf
fered rude interruption by the out
come of the new armistice negotia
tions. The general outlines of the new
terms were known early, and it was no
surprise when President Fehrenbach
announced that the speeches and argu
ments would be deferred, so that
Matthias Erzberger, head of the Ger
man armistice delegation, might give
a personal explanation of what hap
pened between his departure for
Treves and his Unexpectedly quick re.
turn.
Herr Erzberger, noticeable wrought
up and laboring under a strain, began
with the announcement that the dele
gates were entitled to know at the
earliest moment the full details OF
the negotiations. He then read the
terms and the house listened in almost
agonized silence. A slight stir or noise
brought angry Kisses. The assembly
had never been one tithe so still.
The members of the house stirred
uneasily as he finished and stopped
for breath. Before continuing his ex
planation Herr Erzberger interjected:
'It is my wish that you may never
have the fateful hours I have had
We on the armistice commission have
had to bear untold responsibility.

Senator Poindexter Holds That
U. S. Would Surrender Sow
ereignty by Joining.
WANTS POPULAR VOTE
Says Covenant Violates Constitution,
Means Abandonment of Monroe
Doctrine and Declares Ii Is
instrument of War.

: Washington, Feb 20.-In the first
Nations delivered in the senate since
the constitution of the proposed league
was made public, Senator Miles Poin-
dexter of Washington, republican, de-
clared the entrance of the United
States into the league would mean
surrender of American rights, privi-
leges and sovereignty, abandonment
of the Monroe Doctrine and violation
of the constitution.
The constitution of >the league, he
asserted, was conflicting, indefinite and
uncertain and the machinery which
it proposes to set up similar to the
soviet government of Russia"
Declares League War instrument.
mo such colossal burden or en-
tangling alliance was ever before con-
ceived in the world" the senator said
Instead of being an instrument of
peace it is the fertile seed of war, the
dragons teeth from which, when 50 wn
armed soldiers will spring"
Through participation in the draft
ing the leagues constitution, Senator
PoindeXter declared the United States
had been led to point where 1--WE now
are facing an abyss" If the senate
should ratify the proposed constitution
and sanction the entrance of the Unit
ed States into a League of Nations,
without submission of the question ito
the American people in political cam
paign where it shall have been made
the issue and upon which they will
have an opportunity to render judg-
ment in an election" he declared, "the
selfgovernment in America will have
disappeared.
Says League Violates Constitution.
BY the terms of abe constitution he
continued, "the decision as to the rela-
tive reduction of the army and navy
of the United States, in proportion to
that OF the great rival powers, would
be taken absolutely out of the juris-
diction of the people and government
OF the United States and vested in the
jurisdiction of the league, where the
United States has but one vote and a
large number of alien powers" This
in itself, he added, would be in conflict
with the constitution of the United
States.
Hold Plan Not Peace Guaranty.
The power of congress to declare
war, he said, would be taken away,
also in violation of the constitution.
and vested in tribunal, "the great
overwhelming majority of which is
composed of aliens to our interests
and institutions" The league prom
ises little guaranty for future peace,
he asserted, when those who drafted
its constitution have mot been able to
restore present peace or set up order
ly government in Central Europe and
Russia"
