CUMMINS GIVES
HIS ATTITUDE ON
TREATY CHANGES

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
Cummins, Iowa, in a speech in the
senate Friday on the peace treaty.
announced his stand on amendments
and reservations.
He advocated a reservation en-
tirely removing Article 10 from the
treaty SO far as the United States is
concerned. Were that adopted, he
said, he would see no need for the
Johnson amendment equalizing the
votes of the United States and
Great Britain, but he added: eft is
impossible for me to approve so
fragrant departure from the funda-
mental principles of fairness and
equality as the giving of Great
Britain six votes to. our one"
He announced he will vote against
the Shantung amendment, but that
he approves the Fall amendments
removing the United States from
membership on a score of commits
sions set up to carry out the terms
of the peace settlement.
Upon the quality of reserva-
tions," he said, "the newspapers
have at various times classified me
as a mild reservationist, a temperate
reservationist, and as an irreconcil-
able reservationist. To put all doubt
at rest. l say that if 1 had my way
about it, the reservation so far as
Article 10 is concerned, would be
easy to formulate. 1 would like to
write into the resolution Of ratifica-
ton the plain, simple statement
that the United States assumes no
obligations whatsoever under Ar
ticle 10. This is not to declare that
will not vote for the reservation
upon the subject reported by the
foreign relations committee, for 1
expect to do So"
Senator Cummins suggested that
the foreign relations committee
should provide in the ratification
resolution for the silence of the
United States in both council and as
sembly when those subjects are
being considered concerning which
the United States declines to accept
the treaty as it was signed. 1t would
be manifestly wrong for our repre-
Sentat1Ves to vote in matters relating
to other countries which we repudi-
ate in our amendments or resolution
of ratification, with respect to our
selves"

GERMAN LINERS
ARE TAKEN FROM
ENGLAND BY u. S.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Eight
German liners, including the former
Hamburg American steamer Impera-
tor, second largest ship in the
world, allocated to the United
States by the inter-allied shipping
commission after the signing of
the armistice and used to bring
home American troops, are to be
retained by the United States. Plans
to place them in passenger and
freight service are being proposed
by the shipping board.
The Imperator had been alloca-
ted by the allied naval commits
sion at Paris to Great Britain and
the British minister had expected
the ship would be delivered to him
today at Hobol1en for use by the
Cunard line in service between New
York and England. The shipping
board announced today, however,
that it had taken the liner over
from the war department and or
dered a survey to determine re-
pairs necessary for use as a liner.
In announcing that the shipping
board would retain the eight Ger
man lines, j. P. Rosseter, director of
the division of operations of the
shipping board, said their alloca-
ton to the United States was
permanent. When the ships were
delivered by the Germans in Eng
land, the shipping board, as was
explained, turned them over to the
war department for use as trans
ports and has now taken them
back for commercial employment.
Great Britain has contended the
ALLEGATION of the eight liners by the
inter-allied commission was only
temporary and that when the need
for the ships as troop transports
had passed, they were to revert 10
the allied pool for permanent allo-
cation among the allied and asso-
ciated nations.
Officials of the shipping board
would not. say upon what authority
they were acting. 1t was expected,
however, the whole question would
be brought to the attention of Pres
ident Wilson upon his return to
Washington, either by the board or
by Viscount Grey, the new British
ambassador who arrived today 10
take up his duties.

Kolchak Stages Big
Comeback; Able to
Hold the Red Arrnv

WASHINGTON. - Admiral KoL-
chak, anti-Bolshevik leader in
Siberia, apparently has staged one of
the greatest military comebacks
since the beginning of the war.
A few weeks ago Kolchaks de-
feat by Red armies and the fall of
Omsk, the capital of his government,
was conceded in diplomatic circles
here and abroad. Today, his army
reorganized and OmSk, according to
official reports, out of danger, Kol-
chalk is regarded as safe at least
until next spring, when help in the
form of much-needed munitions from
the United States will have reached
him.
Military experts here never con-
ceded Kolchak's defeat, despite Off
c1aI admissions by diplomatic Off
Gals that the Russian admiraPs
forces were doomed to defeat. They
argued that Kolchak had committed
a natural military error when he ex-
tended his line too far in chasing
Bolsheviks. 1t was said that by
the defeat that caused diplomatic
circles to give up hope, he would be
forced to retreat until his army
again was on a front sufficiently
small to permit unity of action but
large enough to protect Omsk. Re-
cent reports, both to the army and
to the state department, have con-
f1rmed this view.
Little, activity is expected on Kol-
chaks front-along a river west and
south of Omsk-until spring, because
Of the early winter in Siberia and
the impossibility of fighting in the
bitter Siberian cold. By next spring
Kolchak will have received thou
sands of rifles manufactured in this
country, now on their way to him.
officials are puzzled over reports
that Kolchak has resigned in favor
Of General Denikine, his ally in
southern Russia. No reason could be
assigned for such action, it was said
here, unless Kolchak was planning
absolute union with Denikine. and
was sacrificing himself. The report
of his resignation is not credited

Democrats Plan to
Divide Country Into
Equal Voting Zones

Decentralization of campaign work
which would give the north, west
anG south an equal voice with the
east, was one of the big questions
to come before the executive COM
nittee of the Democratic national
committee, which held a two-day
conference here last week.
The plan was said virtually to be
assured of adoption. 1t contemplates
the division of the country into
four zones as follows:
Eastern to include New England
and the middle Atlantic states with
headquarters in New York; south
ern, including the southeastern
states, with headquarters in Wash
ington; middle western, including
the central states with headquarters
probably in Butte, Mont. and the
western zone, comprising the Pa
cific coast and the southwest with
headquarters in Seattle or Port
land.
Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
the committee, was said to favor
the plan.
Other matters to be taken up will
include plans to organize the wom-
en- of the country by states and for
the financing of the Democratic
presidential campaign next year.
The committee will not consider
candidates nor will it indicate a
type of presidential possibility, Mr..
Cummings announced.
