81 REPUBLICANS
OF NEW SENATE
OPPOSE LEAGUE
Names Secured by Lodge Suf-
ficient to Block Treaty
Ratification

Washington, March 4.-Names of
thirty-seven Republican members of
the new Senate, number suthcient
to block ratification of a treaty, were
read in the Senate last night by Sem
ator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who
said they had approved a resolution
setting forth that "the constitution
of the League of Nations in the
form now proposed to the Peace
Conference should not be accepted
by the United States"
The list was inserted in the rec
ord by the Republican leader after
Democratic Leader Martin and Sem
ator Swanson, of Virginia. had rails
ed simultaneous objection to con-
sideration of the resolution, which
he had introduced after long con-
ferences with minority members
and communication by telegraph and
telephone with Republican senators
and senator's elect who were not in
Washington.
Oppose Present Form
While opposing the constitution
as now drafted, the resolution set
forth that is was the desire of the
Senate that the nations of the world
should unite to promote peace and
general disarmament. 1t also said
it was the sense of the Senate that
the negotiations on the part of the
United States should Immediately
be directed to the utmost expedition
of the urgent business of neSouat-
ing peace terms with Germany and
that then the league proposal should
be taken up for careful and serious
consideration.

Lively Scrap in House
as Congress Nears End

Washington, March A bitter
political row livened the debate in
the House yesterday afternoon. For
a few moments a personal encounter
seemed imminent between Chair
man Flood, of the Committee on For
eign Affairs, and Representative
Martin Madden, one of the Repub-
lican leaders. 1t came about when
renewed charges were made by Rep
resentative Rogers lRepublican)
that Major f. j. n. Hale. Minister
to Costa Rica, has not been there in
two years, but has been at his home
in Fayetteville, n. c., drawing full
salary.
Mr.. Flood had read to the House
a letter from Acting Secretary of
State Polk explaining that Mr.. Hale
had been kept in this country be-
cause the President did not want to
recognize the existing government
in Costa Rica.
Mr.. Rogers deemed that the eX-
PLANTATION was satisfactory. "I chal-
lenge the gentleman from Virginia
and any member of the North Caro-
INA delegation to show what func-
tion Hale has performed in the last
two years. He is still on the payroll
and likely to continue for two years
longer, and if a Democratic Presi-
dent is elected he will probably
continue six years longer. Is there
no end to this practice of paying
ministers for doing absolutely moth
ing? The Assistant Secretary Of
state told me he had performed nj
work. If something is not done BY
Congress in this thing it is likely tC
persist forever"

SOUND
FINAL TAPS OF
WAR CONGRESS
Sixty Fifth Session Passes Into History With Stupen
dous Record Carried Nation Through the War

Washington, March 4.-The Sixty
fifth or great war Congress passed
into history to-day with final taps of
the gavel by Vice-President Mar
shall and Speaker Clark at noon.
Failure of scores of important bills
gave promise of early convening for
reconstruction legislation of the new
Congress in extraordinary session,
in which control passes from the
Democratic party to the Republican.
Unusual scenes of confusion in the
final rush to complete its work ac-
companied the closing hours of Con-
gress, in which President Wilson,
Just back from France in his room
off the Senate chamber, hastily sign
ed many last-moment measures.
Stupendous Record
Stupendous was the record of the
Congress. which carried the nation
into and through the war and which
had been in almost continuous ses-
sion since it was called by President
Wilson into extraordinary session
April ., 1917. to declare war against
Germany. 1t appropriated about
S6O,00O,000, 5000, authorized $685.
600, 100000 in bonds, and enacted
countless measures for prosecuting
the war and of domestic import. The
new Congress will take up the limit
less task of reconstruction problems,
ratification of the peace treaty and
other vital questions probably inn
mediately after tthe return of Presi-
dent Wilson from his second visit to
France.
Special features of the sixty fifth
Congress were many addresses by
President Wilson, including those
recommending war with Germany
and Austria, that of January s,
1917, enunciating his famous four
teen principles of peace, and those
endorsing woman suffrage, announc-
ing the armistice terms imposed
upon Germany last November and,
his recent address detailing accom-
plishments of his work at Paris.
Three Sessions
There were three sessions of the
Congress. The first, extra session
met April ., 1917, following shortly
after the turbulent and successful
Senate filibuster on the administra-
ton armed ship bill which marked
the close of the SiXty-fourth Con-
gress. The dramatic night address
of President Wilson to urge war
with GERMANY which was promptly
declared, marked the opening of the
extra session, called but few weeks
after the Presidents inauguration
for n second term. The session closed
October 6. 1917, lasting 1SS days.
The second session-lasting 354 days
and the longest in the history of
American government-began De-
cember 8. 1917. and adjourned No

FREED
WAVE OF SOVIET
WORLD EFFORT
Swiss Agitator Got Lenine to
Petrograd in Sealed Train
to Get Things Started

London, March 4.-True to the
traditions as the foundation head of
revolution, Zurich is to-day the
switchboard of Bolshevism in Eu-
rope. The man at the switchboard
connecting the various Bolshevist
wires is Fritz Platten, the foremost
labor leader in Switzerland, and with
the exception of Lenine, the most
FANATIC advocate in Europe of the
salvation of the world through the
dictatorship of the proletariat.
In these days of mass rule idols
come and go, but if L were an enter
prising photographer, 1 would take
a good picture of Fritz Platten. In
fact. 1 would take several. History
will want to have a look at such a
photograph, for Fritz Platten, willy
nilly, has become historical char
acter.
He is the man who unchaine! Boil
shevism in Europe. 1t was Platten
who arranged with Germany for
the passing of the sealed train''
which took Lenine from Switzerland
to Russia. Platten went to Petro-
grad in that sealed train, or rather
coach, with Lenine and his thirty
odo followers.
A few days after the train PASSED
through Germany Platten's associate,
Hans Vogel, the present editor or
the Berner Tagwacht, the leading
Socialistic paper in Switzerland, pl-
loted a second train with the. re-
mainder of the Bolshevist followers
of Lenine through Germany into
Russia. On the train, in charge OF
Herr Vogel, were Lunarharsky, Mar
toff and Martinoff, besides $50 other
Leninites who have since had much
to do with the making or unmak-
ing of Russia.
Other Tasks For BoIshevism
Nor was his taking Lenine to Rus
sia the only service of the Swiss Ia
Dor leader to the cause of Boil
skevism. Platten rendered another
and perhaps greater service to Len
inc and the. Leninites after they
reached Russia. Platten and Lenine
were in a carriage together one day
when as assassin attemted to shoot
Lenine, and it was quick maneu-
yer by Platten that DETECTED the
fatal bullet, saving Lenine's life.
Platten came out of the experience
with a slightly damaged arm.
In Switzerland about a month ago
Platten was found on the first page
every morning. He was and is the
most hated man in Switzerland. be-

general strike in November, and the
general strike is considered still as
an unsuccessful coup d'etat by the
Swiss Bolshevists. That strike lasted
three days, tying up nineteen of the
| principal cities and districts OF
Switzerland and involving more than
10000 workmen.
! If it was called to gain certain
concessions, it was lost, for the
workmen gained none. If, on the
| other hand, it was maneuver tc

test the strength of Bolshevism, then
it was won, for it succeeded in call
ing out the workers of the country
with remarkable speed and unani-
nifty.
Not alone the workers in factories
and shops answered the strike call.
Clerks in banks and office workers
all struck, and the police openly
sympathized with the strikers The
issue of the high cost of living, the
cry of profiteering and similar slo-
gans were successfully used by the
strike leaders.

Usher recently, "for about five minu-
tes. He is a man of 81 or 3S, clean
shaven, above the medium height
and athletic looking. sIis father
is said to be a Saxon, who emigrated
to Switzerland, where Platten was

"Platten, however, is every inch a

his blood. 1t is his creed. Only in

but toward proletarian power. He
seemed to me to be a Hindenburg of
labor, cold, calculating, ruthless. He
knows what he wants and goes the
shortest way to get it.
"I don't thing Platten would have
the slightest hesitation in ordering

thousand men if in his judgment the

well as to the chamberlains, equer-
ries, DANES of the palace, chas-
seurs, coachmen, cooks, and scul-
lions. More than once have seen
His Majesty abruptly start away
from a person with whom he hap
pened to be conversing at a recep-
ton or ball, leaving the unhappy
lady or gentleman speechless and
crushed, because of an innocent ad-
mission that a son or a daughter,
or perhaps an uncle, had the measles
or a cold. At the very mention of
the fact the warlord fed like lion
hearing a cock crow.
Once i found Madame Won Kotze
in tears behind some shrub in the
White Hall. while all around her
dancing was going on. What is
the matter with Your Ladyship?" l
inquired; "can l be of service to
you?"
mo, thank YOU" she sobbed:
"but to think that he said that to
mel"
"who is he, and what did he say?"
1.-THE Kaiser, of course. When he
heard that my boy was i'll, he re-
marked, turning on his heel: How
dare you come TO my house under
such circumstanceS?'"
That happened at time when
Madame Won Kotze prided herself
upon her particularly friendly rela-
tions with His Majesty.
But the most absurd instances of
the Kaiser's mania for precaution
is afforded by the case of little
Henry of ReusS, already mentioned.
AS soon as his death became known,
william requested Her Majesty to
have disinfected all the dresses that
she had taken to Gera when at
tending the baptism of the prince,
several months before. although he
knew at the time that His little
Highness did not die of an infec-
tious disease, as at first thought, but
of a sort of scurvy.

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO IN
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION
In this emergency we have tried
to do our part. We secured the
country for raw materials - our
Traffic Manager spent his days rid
ing freight cars in - we shipped
raw materials in carload lots by eX-
press and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their dellVerleS
to us.
But it was a slow process. Some
of our raw materials are produced
only in Japan - supplies in this
country were low and shipments re-
quired three months to come from
the Far East. Then we had to re-
cruit and train skilled labor. We
brought our statesmen into the fac
tory and trained them as foremen,
We invented new machinery, and
managed to install it on Christmas
Day, so as not to interfere with our
daily production.

THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE
THE DRUG TRADE DURING
THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

The thanks of the American pub
lie are certainly due the entire drug
trade - retail, wholesale and manu-
featuring - for what they accom-
plished' during the recent influenza
epidemic. The war caused a short
age of physicians - nurses were
almost impossible to obtain-the
demand on the drug trade was un-
expected and overwhelming, and to
this demand they responded nobly.
Retail druggists kept open day and
night and slept where they dropped
behind the prescription counter.
Wholesale druggists called their
statesmen off the road to help fill
orders - hundreds wired us to ship
