GREAT WORD War
Americans To Be BOmbarded
With League Arguments.
Country win Be Overrun by
Supporters and Opponents.

Washington. May 2s.-The Ameri-
can people are about to be bombarded
with argument for and against the
league of nations
The country will become a great
forensic battle-ground with arguments
and denial dinned into the public's
ear from three sources at once-the
senate. the stump and every sort of
publication.
The senate battle already has be-
gun. on the stump former President
Taft, Homer Cummings and others
favoring the league are to pave the
way for the Homecoming of President
Wilson. who is still being urged to go
directly TO the country In behalf of
the les que.
The leagues opponents also are
preparing their stump fight. Plans
are being discussed for so shaping the
senate's legislative program that a
number of senators may be released
to make tour. carrying them TO the
Pacific coast
Mea ntime. efforts are being con-
tinued to have the Republican party
take a definite stand on the league
Certain party leaders who have been
holding out against this are reported
to have become convinced that it will
be impossible to keep the league from
being a factor in the 1920 campaign
because Of the administration atti-
tude. They are therefore considering
the adviSa bility Of an open declaration
that will leave no doubt as TO how the
Republican party views the issue.

While they indicated that the great

ground and not because of the league
that the action will be taken Senator
Poindexter, Washington. leading mem

ton is in entire harmony with the
process of national disintegration be-

The league of nations is not an estab-

Is concerned, and will not be on any
such bass as this. II wifi be time

There is nothing to indicate that
Great Britain or Japan will stop much
naval construction and it will enable
them to maintain their present posi-
tons as great sea powers. Poindexter
said.
There is no reason" he added
why the United States should adopt
any secondary and helpless position
as to sea power. 1t is absurd to sup
pose that the United States will sur
render their right of decision in this
