WASHINGTON. July ao-1n an ad-
dress at a mass meeting of government

Lane, Secretary of the Interior, said
it is up to the people TO come to q

patriotism was not to be challenged be-
cause they hold one view or another
upon this matter so long as they think
above the plane Of partisanship."
The general attitude Of the American
public, he thought, was that we wish
as many obstacles a. possible put in
the pathway Of all other nations wish
ing to make war, but to be left as
free as possible to follow our own de-
signs. knowing that these do not en-

After reviewing those who had in

IF this body Of judgment and opin-

safely said that never before have so
many OF the so-calied wise men OF
many nations and so many of the
people behind them united in favor of
any one. thlng-never in the worlds

Taking up the question of the time

every one would have preferred that
the league should have been born in
different way and at different time.
But then, he asked. WAS that possible E?
And were not the nations committed

went on, that Theodore Roosevelt,

GERMAN INTRIGUE
MAY DELAY SAILING
OF j. S. ENJOYS
France Said to Have Asserted
That Departure of-Delegation
Would Be Embarrassing.

PARIS, Dec. France has pro-
tested against withdrawal Of the
American peace dele CATION. headed by
Frank Polk. from the peace confer
ence.
The French pointed out that tho
apparent determination of Germany
to refuse to accede TO the Allied de-
mands contained in the protocol 20
the Peace Treaty has placed the
Allies in an embarrassing position. .
The decision OF the American dele
gates TO leave as soon as possible
after Dec. was made long in ad-
vance of any sign that the Germans
would hang back when the time came
to make the Versailles treaty effective,
and long before it could be toresseu
that the United States senate would
adjourn without ratifying the treaty.
Hence their departure now is en-
tirely unconnected with either of
those developments.
Iptimations have been made to the
German representatives here that II
would be a mistake on their part to
count upon the departure of the
American delegation as at all weak
ening Americas support of her asso-
ciates. The Americans are leaving
because the conference has reached
the stage where 1t can be finished
without the maintenance of a large
mission here, with the Bulgarian
treaty out OF the way and the Hun
garian treaty all ready for submission
to the Hungarian delegates as soon as
they arrive.
A serious phase of the situation,
as viewed here, is the evident prog
ress OF reactionary sentiment in Ger
many, which the French fear will en-
. courage resistance to execution OF the
terms of the treaty. particularly II the
American and British delegations
leave Paris following the failure OF
/ the United States Senate to ratify the
treaty, creating the impression that
the peace conference is a thing of the
past and that the Allied and asso-
ciated powers are no longer In close
cohesion.
