 SPEAKS FUR LEAGUE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

VALPARAISO. Saturday, March b. A plea for the league of nations was made by Augustin Edwards, former premier and former minister Tn Lon don, at a banquet given in his honor last night. Senor Edwards, who mas just returned from London, said:
 There never was an epoch Tn the history of Chile, when it-was so neces- sary that every patriot should support the government and enable it to take it's place in the new organizations which yesterday were considered un- attainable ideals. only those who are heartless or who have never under stood the horrors of this war, can doubt the blessing of a league. It IS an ideal but it is an ideal for which millions have died.
 The day is coming when We will be asked to join and must join the league of nations, as now formed, or slightly amended. No Chilean patriot can view without satisfaction and pride the op- portunity given us 10 unite with the nations which have suffered, to pre- serve civilization. Two of the great nations on which rests the security Of the world have Pacific coasts, the ! United States and the British empire. We may have full confidence that the spirit which impels both countries, as well as the perfect understanding be- tween them, is another guarantee for ! the American continent.

LEAGUE 4 PLAI! TO
 MAINTAIN BRITISH
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

ROCHESTER,. \. r., March l6. - Branding the proposed league of na- tions as "a combination for the purpose of the maintenance of the British na- tion, Senator William E. Borah, re- publican, of Idaho. speaking here to- night. reiterated his determination not to vote for the adoption of the league as planned.
 "I do not propose 10 attach my sig nature to any document which would place small nations and governed peo- pie in a straight-jacket and rivet them there by military power" he said. The proposed plan would bring peace, however. he said, if the peace confer ence in Paris will write into the league of nations the full provisions of the self determination of peoples as given by President Wilson in his fourteen points"
 He agreed with President Wilson that America was the hope of the world, but said America could best serve the world by adhering to the doctrine of isolation taught by Wash ington and Monroe.
 Continuing his attack on Great Britain, Senator Borah said:
 When a nation sits down to the diplomatic table with Great Britain, it has no time to look after any one else's business but it's own. When you talk of humanity and ideals. she will write something into the document that will make you sit up and take notice. The English are the greatest diplomats in ! the world, and the league of nations | as now developed is the greatest tri- umph British diplomacy ever achieved
