Special Correspondence
BOSTON, March 1S.-Final arrange.
ments for the Lodge Lowell debate on
the league of nations in Symphony
Hall tomorrow night were announced
this evening by the committee in
charge.
Governor Coolidge will preside and
will explain briefly the league of ma
tions plan. Senator Lodge will speak

the question. He will be allowed one
hour. The president of Harvard will
then talk for an hour and a half in
the affirmative, after which Senator
Lodge will be allowed half an hour for
rebuttal.
Tickets were mailed early this morn
ing to the 5000 applicants whose

Worn Out by Ouer,vork

Copyright 1919. New York Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, March 17.-The report
is circulated, probably cor
rcctly, that President Wilson is
worn out with overwork. He
works Sundays as we'll as other
days, never fully obeying DR..
Grayson's orders concerning out
door exercise. This is the case
with every statesman at the peace
conference, but the extra strain
upon Mr.. Wilson is owing to the
TACT that, despite the enormous
staff Of technicians and experts
maintained by the American dele
cation at the Palace de Crillon,
the President alone decides all
matters. Neither Mr.. White nor
Secretary Lansing enjoys plenary
powers. Colonel House is not in
vigorous health.
The President therefore under
takes not only to be the final ar
bitter of the peace conference. but
to be also the court of last resort
IN all domestic problems in all
parts of the world.

With Story of Brutalities;
United States Consul Is
Arrested but Released

PEKlNG, March 1s (By The Associ-
Ated Press An American missionary
who has just returned from Corea de-
scribes the independence movement
there as the most wonderful passive
resistance movement in history.
The missionaries were taken by sur
prise when the movement began, but,
after realizing that their churches had
been closed by order of the police and
that most of their pastors were in JAIL
concluded that the time had come to
break silence regarding the brutalities
witnessed in the last decade.
They had seen children beaten, old
men elected from their houses and
women struck with swords, and they
could not, for humanity's sake, keep
quiet, whatever the cost to their mis-
slonary work and to themselves.
They appointed committee to pro-
ceed to Seul and confer with the Ameri
can consul and present signed docu-
ments to the effect that two American
women missionaries had been beaten
by Japanese soldiers with guns and that
other American missionaries had been

The American consul is declared to
have said that if an apology is not
forthcoming within a weeks time,
something would happen.
The American consul himself, the
missionary said, had been arrested by
Japanese soldiers, but an interesting
development was spoiled by his COM
panion, also an American, who asked
the Japanese if they knew this man and

Reinhardt Defends
Soldiers; Paints
Kaiser as Patriot
Brutality Of Troops in
Berlin Rioting Denied;
Bolsheviki Are Accused
of Torturing Wounded

BERLIN, March II (By The Asso-
ciated Press >.-Colonel Reinhardt, the
Prussian War Minister, in a speech in
the Diet to-day defended the govern
ment troops against the charges of
brutality in the Berlin rioting. He de-
clared the summary execution order of
Gustave Noske, the Minister of De-
fence, directed at rebels with arms in
their hands, was REQUIRED by the situa-
ton.
Colonel Rcinhardt was interrupted
by howls and vitriolic remarks by the
Independent Socialists. Answering the
allegations of the Independents and
Communists that they intended the
general strike to be peaceable and did
not desire the use of force, Colonel
Reinhardt said:
How do such vast quantities of
weapons happen to come into the hands
of the criminal insurrectionists How
IS that those weapons are regularly
supplied with ammunition ?"
Colonel Renhardt recalled the re-
peated orders of the government for
surrender of weapons, and declared that
notwithstanding these orders the gov
ernment troops found in the single
small suburb of Adlershof twenty-seven
machine guns, $50 rifles, 1891 bayonets
and 475.000 cartridges. The War Min
lister said the government troops of
single division had lost twenty officers
and eighty men up to Thursday, and he
charged some of these had been tor
tured by the insurgents.
Herr Reinhardt assailed Adolf Hoff-
mann, the Minister of Education, for
terming former Emperor William a de-
serter.
"Any other decision which the Kaiser
could have made on that 9th of Novem-
ber," said the War Minister, "must have
led to further sacrifices, whether in
battle against the enemy or in civil
war. In order to prevent this, through
pure humanitarian and patriotic feel
ings, the Kaiser went to Holland"

by President Wilson in 1914. in which
the executive said, Eve should not
