AMERICAN PLAN /
VERY DIFFERENT
Original Draft of League Of
Nations Charter Submitted
to Senators by Wilson. II

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE original
American draft of the league of ma
tions covenant. sent to the foreign re-
lations committee today by President
Wilson, contains several provisions
widely differing from the league cove
nant as adopted at Paris.
The much debated provisions OF
Article X of the present covenant for
guaranteeing the territorial integrity
of league members Is almost fdenti-
cal with clause in the American
draft. The latter was as follows: y,
THE contracting powers undertake.
to respect and to protect as against
external aggression the political in-
dependence and territorial, integrity
of all states members of the league"
Many of the arbitration provisions
are virtually the same in the two
drafts. The American draft also
contained the plan finally adopted for
council and a larger assembly and
embodied a DISARMAMENT program
similar to that In ehe final covenant.
II also provided for an economic boy
colt of covenant breakers.
The American plan contained no
provision for withdrawal from mem
bership and made no reference to
the Monroe doctrine. 1t also corr
tained a provision not finally ac-
cepted under which the league would
Inquire into the feasibility of abol-
ishing compulsory military service"
There also was a provision in the
American plan, omitted from the
final draft, which would declare II a
fundamental covenant" that no
power should overstep international
agreements for rights on the high
seas.

will make little difference whether It
is by Wall street or by the methods
provided for in the proposed Plumb

WILSON CANNOT
SUPPLY PAPERS
Says Compliance With Re-
quest for Peace Documents
Is Impossible.

Washington, Aug. 11.--President
Wilson wrote Chairman Lodge, of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee today that 1t would not be pos
sible to comply with the committees
request for the documents used by
the American peace commissioners at
Paris in negotiating the peace treaty.
THE various data bearing upon
or used in connection with the treaty
of peace with Germany" said the
president, "are so miscellaneous and
enormous in mass that 1t would be
impossible for me to supply them
without bringing from Paris the
whole file of papers of the commits
sion itself and would include many
memoranda which. 1t was agreed on
grounds of public policy. 1t would be
unwise to make use Of outside the
conference"

If you don't understand yourself,
why expect others to do so?
"a fool and his money are soon
parted"-but so is everybody else,
from everything else.
If you worry too much about the
high cost of living, maybe you won't
have to worry about anything long.
If you can handle a "situation,"
probably you a handle yourself.
Better talk too seldom than too
much.
If you don't worry others, others
may do it for you.
