MOVE TO HONOR
"T.R." POPULAR
Leaders of Both Parties
Favor Remaining Of
Panama Canal.

Early passage of the bill by Sena-
tor Calder of New York which pro-
vides that the Panama Canal will
be known as the Roosevelt Canal.
was predicted here yesterday since
the suggestion met with approval
from leaders of both parties.
1t developed that the original
proposal to honor the achievements
OF the former President through
this memorial came from Capt.
Thomas Butler, who conceived the
plan after reading The Boys Life
of Theodore Roosevelt" written by
Herman Hagedorn.
This book describes .in terse and
authentic fashion, the difficulties
which confronted the lamented T.
r. in his ambition to complete the
canal with American brains and
genius and how he overcame them.
Captain Butler believed q hat his
work should be perpetuated through
the rededication of the canal and
suggested the necessary action by
Congress to Senator Calder. The
proposition found such favor that
it has now become a nationwide
non-partisan movement.

SUICIDE" !" SAYS
KNOX OF PACT
Revised League Covenant
Worse Than Original.
Declares Senator.

The new draft of the league of
nations constitution has found a
powerful opponent in Senator Knox.
OF pennsylvania. a recognized au-
thority on international law. He
declares acceptance of the pact
would be equivalent to national
suicide.
The Senator was vigorously op-
posed to the first draft, but ad-
nocates OF the league have contended
tnat the changes made - the sug-
sestion of President Wilson would
remove all objections which Senator
Hnox might have to the league and
mat he would support il.
Ihls was emphaticalIy denied by
senator Knox yesterday. He de-
clared the new draft Is worse than
tne nrst one and announced his in
tentlon Of fighting it. Here is the
statement which the Senator made:
u Is my intention at a convenient
ume to discuss the revision at some
!ehgth with the view of showing, as
l CANNED in an address delivered in
futsourgh on May .. that the revised
oraIt Is more Objectionable than the
original one: that the changes do not
meet the objections so generally made
10 the original, and that 1t would be
equivalent to national suicide to enter
INTO such compact; and furtehr. that
without authority from the people the
Ireaty-making power, nor indeed the
congress, cannot delegate to any five,
nlhe or other number OF representa-
uNes OF foreign governments powers
mat the people have delegated to them
OF reserved to themselves"
when Senator Borah read the state
ment. he exclaimed: "well, God bless
his brave soulr'
The plan which the league opponents
are studying is that wherever the
words league of nations occur in
the treaty they should be stricken
out and the following words inserted
as a substitute: Commission COM
posed of representatives of all the
nations allied in the war againt the
central Powers" At another place
In the treaty a clause would be in
serted providing for the creation of
an International commission to take
the place of the league of nations.
The amendments contemplated by
the Republican Senators would not
provide for any surrender by the
United States of any sovereignty or
rights now exercised Instead of this.
the International commission would
be authorized to carry out the terms
of peace and stop there.

YANkS IN RUSSIA
BEG TO RETURN
Live on Hope and Vodka, :
Says Appeal Sent BY
Messenger.

American soldiers In Siberia have
sent to Senator Medili McCormick Of
Illinois a stirring appeal for aid in
their effort to be brought back from
exile" Their appeal was sent by
messenger all the way from the
American camp in order that 1t might
escape the military censors.
Senator Mccormick made public the
soldiers protest yesterday without
comment. The message was written
by a private soldier whose home was
In Chicago; he speaks of the message
as the incessant appeal Of 1900 home
sick Americans here" 1t gives a
graphic account Of the conditions un-
der which the American soldiers are
compelled to exist in Russia and
speaks the united desire of them all
to be returned to the United States.
I'VE have been living here, most
of us. on hope and vodka" the appeal
reads. but some have lived on hope
only. One young fellow in A COM
pany, who didn't booze, had lived on
hope only.
'well. his hope died a couple of
days ago. So did he. He spattered
his brains all over the floor. Another
soldier In Siberia had committed sui
eide"
The letter states that the French
troops are going home from Siberia,
and the English and Canadian forces
are also leaving. It says that the
number of prisoners is extremely
large. that many of them are so de-
spondent they are drinking heavily of
vodka and that from eight to eleven
men in a company are being tried a
day or placed in the guardhouse.
Drunkenness and disease are preva-
lent among the Americans, the writer
asserts, many of them having given
up all hope of being brought back to
their homes in the United States.
