OBJECTIONS THAT BRITAIN
 HOLDS PREPONDERANCE OF
 POWER ANSWERED BY WILSON
President Speaks in Seattle After Invading Borah's Home State-League Is Largely Debating Body, He Tells People
By Associated Pres,

by hssociateo Fress Spokane, Wash, September 12.-Replying here today te
 objections that Great Britain 1 would have a preponderance
 of voting power in t4.~ -e
 of nations assembly, Presiden, 1 Wilson said any possible dan
 ger on that score was removed
 by the fact that decisions must )@ unanimous.
 The speech here was the second the President made during the day. He spoke this morning at Caeur d'Alene Idaho making an invasion of the State repre- sented by United States Senator Borah ir in which he spoke was not entirely filled. Here in the armory every seat was taken. The league of nations assembly. the President declared. was largely a de- batting body" and seldom would act on important questions and when it did the
 
 have an absolute veto" under the rule requiring unanimous vote
 There was only one case in which tn. assembly could decide on important questions, he said, and that was wher such question was unanimously re- ferred to it hy the council. The assembly also must act unanimously, he added, SC that in either council or assembly the one vote of the United States would con- stitute veto power.
 ONLY WEAKNESS The unanimous rule, added the Presi dent, seemed to him the only weaknes of the league. but it was weakness Tn the direction of throwing a safeguard around national sovereignty Mir. Wilson also discussed at length proposed reservations to the treaty and asked for it's unqualified acceptance. He asked the Republicans present no; ito think of 1920 when thinking of the redemption of the world" adding that he himself did not for moment do so. MT Wilson said he saw no moral ob- jections to interpretations which would not change the meaning of s,e document, but added that such a step would be merely to say that the United States understands the treaty to mean what fl says.
 Repeating many of his previous deelara- tons regarding the treaty's provisions, the President asked the crowd at the armory whether they did not think some insurance against war was better than none and there were cries of ''yes, yes. followed by cheers.
 QUALIFICATIONS UNNECESSARY Not one of the qualifications suggested to the league of nations was warranted. declared the President
 Under the withdrawal clause, he as serted, the nation itself would judge whether it had performed it's interna- tional obligations.
 That was a matter. he added. which never could or would be left to the judgment of any other nation. In effect. MT. Wilson declared, the language of the covenant made the right of withdrawal unconditional He was cheered when he asserted that as an American he was sure the United

High Courage Of Women Made Complete Victory
 Possible, Says Pershing
Washington Rings With Shouts of Crowd damned Close Along His Path as Com mander in Chief Reaches
 National Capital

sabers at present Beckon to the of ficer in command, General Pershing sig nified his wish to inspect the men before he went to his rooms. and through the opened ranks he walked with eyes talk ing in each detail of equipment.
 Later General Pershing expressed keen pleasure at being back in Washington, but could throw little light on his fu- ture plans beyond the ceremonies of next week when he heads the parade of the First division and later when he re- ceives the unusual tribute of a reception by a joint session of Congress. Tomor- row he will re-establish in the war de- partment headquarters of the American expeditionary forces, of which he still is the commander.
 WANTS TO BE FREE
 The general was asked what he wished to do when he got to Laclede, Mo, his old home He hesitated a moment, then said:
 T would like," he said ito have everybody forget that l was ever any thing but a Missouri boy. I would like to be as free as l was them
 The general was reminded that today was the anniversary of the smashing of St. Mihiel salient. His eyes lighted up and an odd smile touched his lips.
 Tt is a great contrast, today and a year ago." he remarked.
 Did you know then that the war would end as soon as it did?" some enc asked
 T hoped it would General Pershing replied, smiling.
 The remnant of General Pershing's staff that remains with him will continue on duty until the affairs of the A. E. F. have been closed up and war depart ment orders formally announce the dis bandment of that force General Per shing himself will be the last man to leave it, as he was the first to be as- signed to it. The question of what his next assignment is to be has not been discussed, so far as known. at least no public statement has been issued. He has not had day off duty since SIX months before he led American troops into Mexico in chase of Villa.
 So long leave of absence and chance to get out of uniform and be plain American citizen for while seems like ly, should he desire. But to quote his own words for it, he is ready for any duty my country has for me. whatever it is."

Extensive Military Cam paign Is Begun Against Sim Fein Throughout Ireland = Many Arrests and Seizures of Arms and Literature
By Associated Press


 Dublin, September 12.-Fol- lowing closely upon a speech delivered by Viscount French, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland, at Belfast Thursday, in which it was de- clared that the British govern ment would not hesitate to re- sort to drastic steps to maintain law and order in Ireland, the authorities today proclaimed the suppression of the Sim Fein organizations throughout Ireland.
 A series of raids and searches for arms and documents were made at the local Sim Fein headquarters in numerous towns in addition to Dublin. among them Cork, Belfast, Galway and Londonderry. Two prominent Sim Fein members of the House of Commons were arrested here and the residences of many Sim Feinners living in Dublin and other places were searched There were Sngnt disorders in few places but no reports of serious resistance to the raiders have been received up to the present. A de- tective was shot and killed in Dublin
 ARMS ARE LOCATED
 In tho raids some arms and explosives were found.
 Large Quantities of documents and Sim Fein literature were seized, notably III Dublin, where every copy of the report by Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunne. who investigated conditions in Ireland on behalf of American Irish SO cieties. and correspondence relating to arranging trade relations between Ire land and the United States and other for eign countries fell into the hands or the authorities. The belief was expressed in Sim Fein quarters here tonight thar nothing of an discriminating nature was found. SIS
 The Gazette tonight prints the procla nation signed by Lord Lieutenant of Ire land prohibiting and suppressing the : Sim Fein Parliament known as the Dat Eireann" It refers to the proclamation of July 3, suppressing the Sim Fem or ganizations, as unlawful associations II describes the Dali Eireaun as danger ous association and says that since July it has been employed for all the purposes of the then suppressed organizations. The proclamation applies to the S2 countries and six county boroughs of Ireland
 The two members of parliament arrest ed in Dublin were Ernest Blythe, mem Der of Monaghan. North and Patrick O'Keefe, representative from the north ern division of Cork They were re- moved to Dublin Castle, pending the ar rival of an escort to take them to Cork, where the warrants for their arrest are supposed to have been issued. Military lorries bringing prisoners from the out skirts of Dublin came into the city dur ing the day.
 The main purpose of the raids is be- 1ieved to have been to obtain clues as to the whereabouts of arms and explo- eives which from time to time the Sim Feiners are reported to have confiscated. Under tonights proclamation the 'Dan Ereann'' is under the crimes act" and it's meetings are prohibited. Any mem Der of parliament belonging to the Sim Fein who disobeys the proclamation of

ILLEGAL PROFITS
 ARE CHARGED ID
 COMMISSION MEN
One Firm on Chicago Stock Yards Who Overcharged Customers $20,OOO Is
 Forced to Refund
H Am.siat.a r,...

! Washington, September r. --Nnnbers of live stock commission men, acting as
 agents for cattle producers at stock lyards have been found by department or agriculture agents to be taking illegal
 profits in furnishing hay and feed for cattle belonging to their clients. William { F. Williams. solicitor for the depart
 nent, today told the Senate agriculture committee.

Burke of Omaha. or the market committee of the Amer ican Live Stock association. THE REAL ISSUE The issue Is whether or not the fed eral government shall maintain it's mower [ to control the supply of essential food stuffs, Burke said. "or whether the five lar ge packers with their eyer-proving wealth and power, shall go on perfecting their monopoly. until they bandle all the necessities between the producer and consumer and dictate the terms on which they shall live"
 The packers. he charged. had embarked upon tremendous campaign "of dust throwing and camounage," to disguise the true situation.
 They have built an unholy alliance of stockyards, newspapers. live stock commission men and individual pnoduc- CTS who represent only their selfish in- terest," he continued, land have poured into this hearing an avalanche of stuff to discredit these bills. Their methods have been vicious and oppressive. Stock producers who have appeared before this committee to oppose regulation of the packers do not represent any large groups or associations of producers and do not speak the real sentiment of the growers"
 The American National Live Stock as- sociation,'' he added, represented cat tie associations of almost every state west of the Mississippi is standing for the Kenyon and Kendrick bills.
 COMMON SENSE NEEDED
 What the big packers need,' MT Burke declared, "is common sense enough to accept fair federal regulation. The trouble in the industry is that they think themselves bigger than the government, and the end of the course will be to send them straight to destruction"

THOMAS ID PUT WINTER IN WITH
 DOGS ON TRAIL

Rev. W. A. Thomas, who arrived
 in Nenana several days ago from
 the Arctic. where he was stationed
 last winter, is now enroute to Fort
 Yukon to take up the winter work
 of Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, visit
 ing the scattered Episcopal missions throughout the Interior. The arch
 deacon will spend the winter in the
 States.
 MT. Thomas will remain at Fort
 Yukon until after the freezeup. when he will start for Circle, by dog-sleigh. From Circle he will cross over to the Chandlar, and from there to the Koyukuk, return ing to Fort Yukon by way of Gib-
 bon, a trip that will consume a considerable part Of the winter. MT. Thomas left Nenana over a year ago to take charge of the work at Point Hope, in which locality he was during the flu" epidemic,
 which proved fatal to many of the natives. He acted as a health of ficer while the disease was ram pant, his district extending to the northward along the coast to Point Barrow. The establishment of a strict quarantine and educational work among the natives prevented a spread of the epidemic and doubt less saved many lives.
 Mir Thomas was formerly sta
 toned at St. Marks mission, in the early days of Nenana.
