GOVERNORS MEET At CAPITOL
Optimism Prevails at Nationwide
Gathering Of Executives.

Washington.-Govern of states
and mayors of municipalities meeting
March 3 in the White House to discuss
alienation Of unemployment heard
President Wilson in brief address
emphasize the principle that govern
ments should serve in the interests of
the common people. In this spirit he
urged that the federal state and local
governments work together, "steadying
and easing and facilitating the whole
labor processes Of the United States"
After listening to addresses by
Secretaries Wilson, Baker and Daniels,
the governors undertook to report in
turn on unemployment within their
respective states. A majority declared
that there were not enough men out Of
work In their communities to justify
serious apprehension, although oil adj
vocated immediate action by state,
county and city governments to pro-
mote road building and other public
works, thus furnishing buffer reser-

LEAGUE PLAN FACES
DEFEAT IN SENATE
CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION 10
oouoHT ~ THE LEAGUE or
NATIONS oPPoNENTo.
Thlrty-ssvsn Republican Members Of
Senate Approve Resolution Which
Means Measure May Not b
Approved in Present Form.

Neutrality-suspicious. Of thirty-seven
Republican members of the new SEN
ate. u number sufficient TO block rati-
fication OF treaty, were read in the
senate Monday by Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts. who said they had APP
proved a resolution setting forth that
"the constitution OF the league of nr
lions in the form now proposed to the
peace conference should not be accept
ed by the United States"
The list was inserted in the record
by the Republican leaders after Dem
ocrat Leader Martin and Senator
Swanson of Virginia had raised sim
ultaneous objection to consideration
of the resolution, which he had intro
duced after long conferences with
minority members and communicated
by telegraph and telephone with Re.
publican senators and senators-elect
who are not In Washington.
While opposing the constitution as
now drafted, the resolution set forth
that 1t was the desire of the senate
that the nations of the world should
unite to promote peace and general
disarmament.
1t also said 1t was the sense of the
senate that the negotiations on the
part of the United States should i'm
mediately be directed to the utmost
expedition of the urgent business OF
negotiating peace terms with Ger
many" and that then the league pro
posal should be taken up for careful
and serious consideration.

barkation and rest camps outside of
the town.
They worked wonders In doing SO.
and despite the manifest dlscomforts
of daily rains and perpetual mud
they have in POuntanezen provided
halfway station between the battle
front and home which is second to
none In the world. Pountanezen Is
about seven or eight miles outside of
the town itself. Its present capacity
Is about 10000 Within three months
1t will have been expanded to take
care of 10000.
The embarkation hospital Mt Ker-
huon, separated only few hundred
yards from Pountanezen, will ult,-
mately have a capacity for caring for
$4,000 cases. 1t can now care for
between six and seven thousand. Both
plants are near completion. The plans
when finally worked out will provide
accommodations for three-fifths of the
military establishment maintained by
the United States on European soil.
1t Is gigantic task, this making a
new city for the care Of both the sick
and well, but 1t Is one that the men
Entrusted with the work believe they
can accomplish under the most un-
favorable circumstances.

To Keep the Well Diverted.
The big thing, as the responsible
officials view 1t, is to provide the
healthy men with diversion to keeT
them not only out of mischief but In
good spirits while waiting for trans
portation. Men who have been living
next door to death and constantly un
der the thunder of great guns are
finding life ut detention and intern
ment camps rather uninteresting. II
is the purpose of the officials respon
sible for their welfare to keep then
occupied SO that they will not miss
the tumult Of war or brood too much
upon the delay Of getting home.
Up to date the chief occupation Of
the 10000 men who are conferred here
has been confined to speculation as t
dates Of departure and taking close
up view OF the few attractions O
Brest.
Some idea of the native entertain

The military police keep pretty

the penalties for infractions Of army
law are pretty severe.

The men are well fed and comfort

them would probably raise their

Of their daily life, but the health re-

proof that the precautions taken by
the government are working out much
more satisfactorily than the regimen

PIGS AS MACHINE GUNNERS
Shrewd Trick Played by Germans
When They Fled Before the Con-
querina American Troops.

The crafty Germans resorted to all
sorts of tricks to check the advance of
the Yankees in the fighting just before
the armistice was signed, according to
a letter from Sergt. Sidney s. Foy, for
merly of Detroit, Mich, now attached
to headquarters company in classi-
fieation camp in France, TO friend In
the Michigan city.
Foy writes that pigs were numerous
during the advance and that the Ger
mans used them to help in putting
Yankees out of action. When the
Huns were forced to retreat they
would tie pig by the leg to the trig-
ger of a machine gun. When the Yanks
would charge, the pig, becoming fright
ened, would squeal and tug to free it.

was fired at the waves, of oncoming
American troops, and, of course, some
Of them were hit.
This was only one of the ruses
adopted by the Germans, says Foy,
and the Yankees had to use the ut
most caution in going over the ground
evacuated by the Germans.
