in disorder unl one shoulder from
which her dress had been torn in the
struggle, cleaned white in the sun

"YOu-coward! 7" | heard his voice

Democrat Makes
Sharp Attack on
Nations League

Washington. Feb. 22.-Suppot for
the republican attacks in the senate
upon the proposed league Of nations
came from the democratic side today
when Senator Reed, of Missouri, demo-
crat, delivered a prepared address IN
denunciation of the plan.
Free American government. Senator
Reed asserted. would thru the league
be largely displaced by a government
controlled by European monarchs ana
Asiatic despots." He supported the
charge of Senator Borah of Idaho.
republican,. that the league would
abrogate the Monroe doctrine. involve
America in all world conflicts and
compel submission of vital American
questions to a foreign tribunal.
England. Senator Reed asserted,
would virtually dominate the league.
and on all questions he insisted the
United States would be overwhelming
ly outyoted.
The leagues character. Senator
Reed ALSO fhared. plainly canfiicted
with the American constitution. "Shall
we surrender with pen what Washing
ton gained by his sword?" asked the
senator. "A situation SO tragic demands
the attention Of every loyal citizen OF
the republic.
America entered this war COM
pfete sovereign. She acknowledged no
master. She was the arbiter Of her
own destinies. \ victor in the war,
shall she nevertheless emerge a mere
constituent state of the league domin-
ated by European monarchs and Ash
attic despots'
Shall our nationalism be stricken
down and for it substituted an inter-
nationalism? Shall our independent
democracy come under the control
either in whole or in part of foreign
monarchs or foreign bolsheviki?"
Former President Taft's support Of
the league was criticized by Senator
Sherman, Of Illinois, republican, in a
furry on the senate floor before Sen
.ator Reed spoke. Senator Sherman
presented a letter from a constituent
in which Mr.. Tafts position was as
sailed and his political record ridicul-
ed. to the manifest amusement Of SEN
ators and the overflowing galleries.
Senator Ashurst, Of Arizona, demo-
crat, sharply criticized the reading Of
the letter, declaring it made Mr.. Taft
an object OF ridicule. This is no way
to conduct debate on this league Of
nations" said Mr.. Ashurst. "Altho I
never agreed with Mr.. Taft politically,
for four years he was president Of the
United States, and an honest. patri-
otto gentleman. I believe that. when
the years so by and we see this league
in action. the senator from Illinois
will be as ashamed of his conduct, as
am"

Mr.. Hill said There are many ad-
mirable features in it, But in view
OF complications that believe are
certain to arise, ! wish to qualify our
participation in any compact by pre-
cisely the words that were employed
in accepting The Hague convention
in 1899 and again in 1907"
Treaty Restrictions.
Mr. Hill. who is a member OF the
permanent administrative council OF
The Hague and former ambassa dor
to Germany. quoted this restriction as
follows:
Nothing contained in this conven-
tion shall be SO construed as to re.
quire the United States of America to
depart from its traditional policy OF
not intruding upon. interfering with or
entangling itself in the political
Questions or policy or internal ad-
ministration of foreign state; nor
shall anything contained in the said
convention be construed to imply a
relinquishment by the United states
OF America of its traditional attitude
toward purely American questions"
Obligation Dangerous.
That we should faithfully perform
our part in the preservation of peace
among the nations and in defense q
the great principles Of international
law no patriotic American would. I
am sure, for a moment doubt" Mr.,
Hill continued. "Nor can 1t be as
sumed that occasions may not arise
for one already has arsen-when IL
may become our duty to send armies
to distant lands in order 20 suppress
o common enemy.
But this does not require our en-
tering into an unlimited obligation in
all circumstances to assume protec-
ton of distant peoples: to enter into
their disputes: to place our resources
at the disposal OF central authority
that may at some time be dominated
by combination Of interests adverse
to our own: to submit to foreign con-
troll our standards OF life, our condi-
tions and rewards Of labor and even
power over our fortunes and our lives.
There is no good reason why we
should commit our posterity to such
unnecessary hazards"
