The Louisville Herald and
other republican papers claim to
see a great national victory in
the election of King Swope to
congress. They say that at
Washington it is regarded as
reputation OF the peace. treaty
and League of Nations. Moth
ing is farther from the real
facts. Not once in his speeches
or otherwise did Capt. King
Swope refer to the League of
Nations either pro or con,
throughout his campaign. Nor
did he talk about the peace
treaty any. His only reference
to national issues was along
tariff lines and bonuses for the
soldiers. He steered entirely
clear of the League Of Nations
and other issues which are en-
crossing national attention, and
won his victory on his argu-
ments about Stanley and state
politics, and the general over
confidence of the democrats who
thought Judge Hardin's election
was certainty. This talk
about Swope's victory being a
reputation of the President and
League of Nations by the demo-
Gratis of the Eighth congressional
district is the merest piffle.

WOULD EDUCATE PEOPLE
BONE-DRY BENEFITS
Anti-Saloon League May Inaugu-
rate Campaign of Four
\ Minute Speeches.

Inauguration of a four minute cam
paign of education is one of the means
the Anti Saloon League may employ
to bring certain classes of persons re-
siding in this city to a realization of
the benefits to be derived from a bone
dry law. The question of inaugural
ing such drive was discussed at a
meeting Of the board of trustees of
the league held last night at the Y.
M. G. A., at which Albert e. Shoe
maker. counsel for the league, pre-
sided.
During the discussion of matters re-
lattng to enactment and enforcement
of prohibition laws it was brought out
that many persons, some high officials,
have been outspoken in opposition to
the bone-dry and other laws abolish
ing the liquor traffic, and members of
the league suggested that distribution
or literature and speech making
campaign might enlighten them and
bring about change OF opinion.
Definite action was not taken on the
questions presented last night. 1t was
suggested, however, that early action
VIII be taken and that meetings may
be held in the departments. theaters
and other public places. and that
literature will be mailed to persons
known to hold views in opposition to
prohibition and suspected of being op-
posed to enforcement of dry laws.
1t was declared by members of the
board of trustees that imposition of
severe sentences by judges of the
Police Court has greatly improved
bootlegging conditions. Further i'm
provement is expected when the bone
dry measure becomes law. which, it Is
expected. will be accomplished soon
after President Wilson reaches the

Treaties for New States.

Answering French objections that a
long time may be consumed IN ar
ranging the boundaries of new states
carved out of enemy countries, adyo-
Gates of imme date peace declare that
such readjustments as are necessary
can proceed after the signing of the
peace treaty They say that Ger
many, Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria
should simply be required to sign
treaties relinquishing such parts of
their former territories as are re-
Quired to form new states and rectify
old boundaries. 1t is held that 1t is
no concern of those nations what dis
position the entente, through peace
conference commissions or the su-
preme council, makes of such terri
tories.
The same powers bold there should
be no delay because of indemnities.
1t is impossible to ascertain the ex-
act detail of the damage inflicted dur
ing the war and they argue that lump
sums should be agreed upon and
placed in the peace treaty OH the basis
of the fairly comprehensive examina-
tions already made by agents of the
entente powers. Figures in posses
sion of experts of the peace confer
ence are believed to give a close ap-
Proclamation of the total sum Ger
many is able, to pay. 1t Is believed
the armistiee just concluded is not
bread enough to be developed, safely
into dehnite treaty of peace.
No feasible plan for settling the
Russian question has developed DUR
ing the two days of hearings given
the subject By She supreme war coun-
Gil. The effort will be resumed to-
day. but the weight of opinion in the
council seems opposed to any plan in
yolving the use of force or an extern
sion of present military activities,
even ii the Prinkipo conference fails.

TREATY Of PEACE

TREATIES FOR NEW STATE

PARIS, February is (by the Asso-

powers are planning. as soon as the
Russian problems now before the su-
preme council of the peace conference
is disposed of and 4 few more hear
ings are accorded representatives OF
small nations, to take UP the larger
problem of a treaty OF peace. The
state of public sentiment in America,
England Australia and Canada has
impressed their representatives here
with the necessity of taking steps TO
return the soldiers home, which can =
not be accomplished entirely in ad-
vance OF the conclusion of the peace
treaty.
The French government is fully
aware of this feeling and expresses
its sympathy with the motives that
underlis ii, but there are fears of dan
gerous complications and failure to
realize the necessary fruits of victory
if there is undue haste in the conclu-
sion of a treaty of peace. France is
insisting upon compliance with ar
mistice demands for the return OF
much property taken by the Ger
mans, principally industrial machin-
cry. This will take a long time and
some of the entente countries believe
Ii should not be permitted to delay

Senator Borahs Let+or.

Senator Borah'S letter follows:
Il greatly appreciate your note
honoring me with an invitation to
meet the President February 26 to
discuss the league of nations-a
matter of most vital concern to
the whole country. Meetings at the
White House, according to long
standing custom, are always re-
garded as strictly confidential upon
the mart of the guests. This meet
ing, / take it, would be regarded
as especiaIly confidential, otherwise
the President would have spoken.
according to his custom, 10 the open
Senate. The differences Soetween
the President and myself"on this
question are fundamental l am
sure no suggestion of mine would
modify in the slightest the view of
the President and nothing could in
duce me to support this league as
outlined in this proposed conStitu-
tion or anything like it.
Il feel, therefore. that it would
not fair to the President to ac1s
cept his confidence or receive from u
him confidential information con-
cernins this subject. Neither, in
nv view of the subject, could /
accept information which l would
not feel perfectly free to transmit
to my colleagues or use in public
debate. After much reflection l
beg, therefore. to be excused from
attending the meeting.
"In writing this note and in TAX
ing this course l mean no personal
disrespect to or disregard OF the
President. l simply find myself in
such disa greement with him ans
feel so intensely concerning the
matter, that / cannot do other than
candidly advise him of the fact" =
