 BOSTON, Mar. S.-ResOlutions in- dorsing the attitude of United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, toward the league of nations and opposing the acceptance of the constitution of the league in it's present form, were adopted at meeting at Fremont Tem- pie today A man in uniform, who demanded from the floor the right to speak on the resolution, failed to get a hearing.
 Attacks on the league by United States Senators William E. Borah and Charles s. Thomas, and former Sen ator Albert J. Beveridge drew frequent applause and repeatedly the audience rose to it's feet and cheerd.e A mi nority at times interrupted the speak CTS to dissent, but counter demon strations drowned their voices. When Senator Borah declared that no pro- vision for the freedom of Ireland had been made he started demonstration that was helped along by young wo- man in the gallery who unfurled the flag of the republic of Ireland"
 Cheers for President
 As the meeting was called to order a man in the audience called for three cheers for the president and got them, but after that those who sympathized with the speakers had the meeting well in hand.
 At the suggestion of Senator Bey- eridge, who presided, it was voted to send the following telegram to Senator Lodge:
 We. citizens of Massachusetts, re- gardless of party, in Fremont Temple assembled, send you their unqualified support in your efforts to secure the future of America and the peace of the world"
 Resolutions opposing the adoption of the constitution of the league in its present form to be sent to the peace conference and the United States senate were offered. The greS-. CT part of the audience arose in ap- proval and the band striking up the Star Spangled Banner" brought the others to their feet. The audience with its interjections was noisy but good natured and every sally of ap- proval or dissent evoked laughter along with the counter comment.
 Overflow Meetings
 The three speakers later addressed an overflow meeting of several thou sand persons in the street.
 As in earlier speeches, Senator William E. Borah, republican of Idaho, denounced the proposed league as a league of diplomats rather than of nations, with an executive council in which Asiatic and European members could outvote America on purely American issues.
 Senator Charles s. Thomas, demo crat of Colorado, reiterated his con- viction that the United States ought not be committed to a new and far reaching national policy in advance of A thorough knowledge of every detail involved in so momentous an under taking.
 Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, who was chairman of the progressive national convention m 1912. presided. In introducing the other speakers Mir. Beyeridge attack ed the proposed international const tuition as a partnership in which Flu rope and Asia would furnish the lia bilities and the United States supply the assets.
 We are told that we shall disap point. the world if we refuse" (to joiI a league of nations), he said. "If any business house made contracts or that principle. how long would it keel out of bankruptcy? It is said we ar' now a world power, and must take uI new burdens. We are. indeed. world power. and we do not intend to sur render that position and become thu tail of the international kite. We vel come new burdens if they are legiti mate; but we decline those whicl others are eager to unload.
 'It is said we went to war to creat' this league of nations. That is no the truth. The truth is we went t' war to whip Germany. That jOb il done: the next jOb-the immediati and imperative jOb-is to make peac and bring our soldiers home.
