LANSING OPPOSED
Witness Declares He Said America
Would Not Ratify Treaty If It
Was Understood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-William
C. Buflitt of Philadelphia, formerly at
tached to the American peace mission,
testified before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee today that Secretary
Lansing told him in Paris last May that
if "the senate and the American people
knew what .the treaty meant it would
be defeated
''Mr. Lansing told me the day I re-
signed" the witness said, "that he was
opposed to that part of the league
covenant relating to mandate for Ar
menia. He said he considered the Shan
tung award and the league of nations
bad-that the league would be entirely
useless. that the nations had arranged
the world to suit themselves and that
England and France got what they
wanted. -
"After saving he believed the senate
would defeat the treaty if they realized
its meaning Mr.. Lansing expressed the
opinion that Senator Knox really would
understand the treaty, that Mr.. Lodge
would, but that Mr. Lodge S position
would become purely political.
1t was near the close of an extended
| examination during which Bullitt ex.
planned that he had been sent to Russia
to investigate conditions and had latei
! resigned from the commission because
| he was out of sympathy with the treaty
and the league covenant, that he was
! asked by Senator Lodge how the Ameri-
can delegates stood. Secretary Lansing
/ Henry White and General Bliss all eX-
pressed vigorous opinions regarding the
/ treaty, he said.
Senator Lodge asked if the opinions
were enthusiastic. 4" i regret to say they
were not, - said Bullitt. 1t was no Sc
cret in Paris, he declared that Lansing
White and Bliss objected vigorously t,
numerous provisions of the treaty.
When Senator Lodge said he though
the Seeretary's opinion on Shantuns
was known, Bullitt added, ~ think See
retary Lansing was not at all enthu
siastic about the league of nations -

BOSTON, Sept 12-With the threat
of a sympathetic general strike held off
bv the action of the Central Labor
union last night in ordering all local
unions to act on the proposal at once,
thus giving fuller expression of opinien,
the situation resulting from the strike
of policemen assumed a calmer aspect
today. The scarcity during the night Of
the disturbances which marked the first
two nights of the strike was re as
suring feature.
Soldiers of the state guard continued
in charge of the streets, aided by the
force of volunteer policemen and such
members of the regular post as had re-
fused to desert their posts and little diff
fcultv was experienced in breaking up
the crowds except in one or two sec
| tions.
Further confidence in the ability of
| the authorities to maintain an upper
hand was inspired by reports from the
harbor forts, Camp Devens and army
posts in New York and New Jersey OF
active preparations to send regular
army troops here if an emergency call
should be made.
Governor Coolidge. who is in charge
of the police situation, as commander
in-chief of the armed forces of the

both the navy and war departments
that any call which he might make up
on the President for federal assistanc,
would be answered promptly. Mlitar,
leaders estimated that $4,000 regular
| could reach the city within y hours.
: The death list as result of tn
| strike, now in its third day, stood toda
at seven. Among the dead was a strik
? ing policeman, shot down by a store
keeper who feared his place of busines

clerks and walters have opened a cafe
at which an order of roast beef, po-

fair place for union sympathizers to
eat and to provide employment for the
strikers.
