FRENCH DEBATE
 TREATY BEFORE
 EMPTY BENCHES
Deputies Remain in the LObbies Discussing the Coming
 Election.

Paris, Aug. 30.-While debate on the ratification of the peace treaty with Germany is going on the the Chamber of Deputies before vir- tually empty benches, most of the members gather in the Hobbies dis cussing the coming election.
 President Poincare, it is declared, will not be a candidate for a sec ond term and it seems improbable that Premier Clemenceau will stand for the office. Some days ago when asked if he would be a candidate he is quoted as having replied:
 'No. Just think if-I should be elected and then run afoul of an- other Clemenceau as premier"
 Prominent among the candidates is Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber of deputies. It is expected that nearly 300 members of the chamber will be returned, and he is reported to be certain of four fifths of their votes.
 Antonin Dubost, president of the senate, also has followers.
 Alexandre Ribot, former premier, seems to be expected to present the most formidable opposition to M. Deschanel. The name of former For eign Minister Louis Barthou is also mentioned, but many of the deputies appear to think he is too young.

IRISH BITTERLY ATTACK LEAGUE AS BRITISH-MADE Declare it Pronounces Death Sentence on Aspirations of
 Their People. CLAIM IDEALS OF
 WILSON PUT ASIDE Steam Roller Busy at Versailles, They Say-Cheers and Laugher Greet
 Testimony of Hibernian
 Delegation.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Impassion- ed protests against the league of na- tions were presented on behalf of ing before the senate foreign rela- tions committee.
 In a series of dramatic appeals which repeatedly drew cheers from the crowd tanning the committee room, the spokesman decried the covenana and sought 70 pronounce a death sentence on the aspirations of the Irish people and to fasten upon Ireland, what they characterized a yoke of British oppression.
 Among the speakers, who said they voiced the sentiments of more than 20,000,000 Americans of Irish origin, were Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City, Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia and Edward F. Dunne. former gov ernor of Illinois, members of the to get hearing for Ireland at Ver- sailles.
 Representative of various Greel, societies also appeared before the committee during the day and made statement of the claims of the Greek peoiple regarding the peace settlement.
 Outright rejection of the peace treaty was aksed by the Irish speak CTS, who charged that under the covenant Great Britain would receive Ia guarantee that no outside nation ever would heln Ireland gain her independence. The domination ot the British fleet over the seas, they also declared, would be made so com- plete by the treaty as to be direct menace to the United States
 Steam Roller.
 In the Versailles negotiations Walsh, Ryan and Dunne declared President Wilson's ideals all had been brushed aside by the other powers At the open session when the league covenant was approved. thew said delegates in all parts of the hall tried to make protest, but were silenced bv the "steam roller methods" o1 the controlling figures of the con- ference.
 Great Britain, the speaker said had drawn the United States into the league to help guarantee such "outrages" as she was committing in Ireland. At the same time, theo asserted, England had been careful to preserve sea power which gave her "a grip on every quart of salt water in the world" and which. unde, present circumstances, could be in. tended for use only against the United States.
 Although the committee originally had allotted only two hours to the hearing, when presentation of the Irish cause had been fairly launched 1 it was voted to extend the time fol as long as the sneakers desired. A brief opposing the views express ed by the witnesses was filed witt the committee bv Albert Kelly, o, New York. and five others.

BIC FIVE SAID 10 HAVE PACKED WITNESS LISTS Livestock Association Says Some Who Testified Were
 COerced. LICENSING SYSTEM
 GIVEN ENDORSEMENT Would Divorce Packers from Control of Stock Yards--For Refrigera~ tor Cars as Common
 Carriers.
 

Washington, Aug. 3O.-While west ern and southern stock raisers ap- bearing before4he senate agriculture committee, aoAtinued today to at tack the Ktnyon and Kendrick bills to license the packing industry, Chairman Gronna put into the record telegram from the American Live stock association charging that in some cases, the witnesses were "coerced" and in other cases had their expenses paid by the five big packers.
 "The association has long realized the impossibility of proper conduct of the livestock business when sub ject to the entrenched monopoly of the great packer combination" said the message, which was signed by H. A. Jastro, as s chairman of the association market committee. "We recognize and indorse the general plan for thorough-going and federal control of the packing business which shall in the future prevent the abuses growing out of worldwide concen- trated power, preying alike on pro- ducer and consumer, and wastefui in many of it's methods.
 "We believe the licensing system properly places power and respon- sibility for just and rational treat ment in an impartial agency of the government. We indorse as essen- tial, the policy of divorcing the pack CTS from control cf the stock yards. We believe that refrigerator cars should be rated as common carriers. We are aware of the desperate eff forts being made by the packers to maintain their unconscionable posi- tion. We have noted the lavish ex- penditure in advertising that has dealt in evasion, misrepresentation and half truths. We deplore the re- cent action of those livestock pro- ducers who have passed resolutions condemning certain features of the proposed bill"
 The message was approved by Senator Kendrick, democrat of Wyoming. author of one of the regu- lative bills, who also is president of the American Livestock association.
 A group of Tennessee and Ken lucky stockmen were represented by spokesmen who assailed both meas ures as dangerous to the attempts of the southern states to establish diver sified farming E. Richard Shipp, for number of Wyoming sheep men likewise thought the bills unneces- sary and that the regulation they in- volved was "kaiserism"
 "Men with brains and vision" he said, "should not be controlled by license"
 The committee adjourned until Tuesday and announced s+he hearings would close September 15.
