in the league, no action can be taken without the concurrence of a unani- nous vote of the representatives of the sta tes, which are members of the council, so that in all matters of ac- tiOn, the affirmative vote of the United States is necessary and equivalent to the united vote Of the representatives of the several parts of the British empire. The united votes of the sev- eral parts of the British empire can not offset or overcome the vote of the United States.
 2-Is it true that under the League of Nations foreign countries can or der the sending of American troops to foreign countries?
 Answer: It is not. The right of Congress to determine such matters is in no wise impaired.
 3-What effect will the League of Nations have in either forwarding or hindering the final restoration of Shantung to China? What effect will the League of Nations have in preventing further spoliation of China and the abrogation of all such special privileges now enjoyed in China by foreign countries2
 Answer: The League of Nations will have a very powerful effect in forwarding the final restoration of Shantung to China, and no other in strumentality or action can be sub stituted which could bring that re- suit about. The authority of the League will under Article 10 be con- stantly directed toward safeguarding the territorial integity and political independence of China. It will there fore, absolutely prevent the further spoiation of China, promote the re-

WILSON DEC CLARES GREAT BRITAIN CANNOT OUTVOTE UNIFIED STATES.
 ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON LEAGUE

San Francisco, Sept. 1s-Replying in a statement to & list of questions put to him by a San Francisco League of Nations organization, President Wilson declared Great Britain could not outvote the United States in the league; that foreign governments could not under the covenant order American troops abroad; that the league would have a powerful inf1u- ence toward restoration of Shantung to China; that the United States would not be obligated by Article Ten to aid Great Britain in suppressing a re- volt in Ireland; and that under Article II, there would be created a new forum for questions of self determ- ination.
 MT. Wilson's statement containing the questions and answers follows:
 Will you state the underlying consideration which dictated an awarding of six votes to the British Empire in the assembly, and is 1t true that Great Britain will outvote us in the League of Nations and thereby control the leagues action?
 Answer: The consideration which led to assigning six votes to self-gov- erning portions of the British empire was that they have in effect, in all but foreign policies, become autono- nous self-governing states, their pol icy in all but foreign affairs being in dependent of the control of the Brit ish government and in many respects dissimiIar from 1t. But it is not true that the British empire can outvote us in the League of Nations and therefore control the action of the league, because in every matter in which the admission of new members

storation in China of the several privileges now long enjoyed by for eign countries and assure China of the completion of the process by which Shantung will presently be re- turned to her in full sovereignty. In the past there has been no tribunal which could be resorted to for any of these purposes.
 4-Is there anything in the League of Nations covenant or the peace treaty which directly or indirectly in any manner imposes on the United States any obligations, moral or oth- erwise, of the slightest character to support England in any way in case of revolt in Ireland?
 Answer, There is not The only guarantee contained in the covenant ,s against external aggression and those who framed the covenant were scrupuIously careful in no way to interfere with what they regarded as the sacred rights of self determina- ton.
 5-What effect, if any, will the League of Nations covenant have in either hindering or furthering the cause of Irish freedom?
 Answer:-It was not possible for the peace conference to act with re- gard to the self-determinatio ton of any territories except those which had belonged to the defeated empires, but in the covenant of the League of Ma tions it has set up for the first time, in Article Eleven, a forum before which all claims of self determine ton which are likely to disturb the peace of the world or the good un- derstanding between nations upon which the peace of the world de- bends. can be brought.

Hitting Practice is
 Not Much Help to
 Big League Sluggers

There seems to be a discussion in some quarters as to the amount of hitting practice indulged in by ball players before game Some know ing ones contend the players are de- niel sufficient time in which to prac- uce and consequently they fall down in their stick work. This applies to tossers of all classes.
 T believe it is all bosh." writes Richard Guy in the Pittsburgh Leader "Once ball player is in his stride and is blessed with good eyes and genuine courage he is bound to hit, granting he gets a fair amount of breaks in luck in that some of his hard drives go safely. A player without the aforementioned qualities doesn't hit much and while practice tends to improve one, yet 1t takes more than a warming up process to acquire high efficiency, natural ability is needed
 T recall a conversation I had with Lee Fohl, former manager of the Cleveland team, a few years ago on this same subject. He agreed that the players thought much hitting practice helped them and for that reason he encouraged it. How often do you hear of a player being out of the game for while and with out practically any practice, resume his duties and begins to hit? Such cases are frequent
 We do not have to go back many years to bring to mind the star club of independent players that Pop An son brought from Chicago on a tour East to play games. The only feature of his teams play was his own hit ting. He was then almost 60 years of age, and his swatting was the talk of the country. And he had been out of the game for years previous to this trip.
 ''The place to learn hitting. that is to get the proper stride and such like, is in the early spring work, and in the games. The boys with the eyes. and the courage will hit, the others wont.

NO CONFLICT in
RELIEF FUNDS
Armenian and Syrian Relief Must
Be Provided By Voluntary
Subscrintion.

The appropriation Of 500, ZOO, 900
asked Of Congress by President Wilson
to help feed the destitute peoples Of
Europe is not intended in any way to
take the place of the fund Of $30,000,-
900 which the people of the United
States will be asked to subscribe dur
ing the week of January 1919, for re-
lief and rehabilitation work in the
Near East.
This fact was made clear in a cable
gram from President Wilson, Paris,
to Cleveland H. Dodge, of New York,
treasurer of the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief work,
copy Of which was forwarded to
Governor Burnquist, chairman of the
Minnesota branch of the committee.
this week.
President Wilson's statement which
was cabled to an appeal from Mr..
Dodge, explaining that some misunder.
standing had arisen in the minds of
the people as to the purpose of these
two relief funds, contained the follow
ing assurance:
"The appropriation asked of Con-
gress for handling food relief" Presi-
dent Wilson explained, lis not intend
ed In any way to take the place
of the subscription being asked
for relief and rehabilitation in the
Near East. I hope that this subscrip-
ton will not in any way be interrupt
ed or reduced. The need is immediate
and very great"
The fund of $4,000, 900 which it is
hoped the people of the United States
will subscribe to help relieve the
sufferings of 1000, 00O starving peoples
of the Near East, is to be spent in
supplying these peoples with food
clothing, fuel, medical assistance and
means of self support within the next
six months. 1t is expected, If sufficient
funds are made available at once
that all except 100000 little children
can be made self-supporting within
the year.
The fact that there are no estab-
lished governments in these lands to
whom the government of the United
States could make loans of money for
the relief Of the destitute war suffer
ers and the rehabilitation of their
homes and business, makes it impera-
tive that the people Of the United
States should, by voluntary subscrip-
ton, supply the money which is neces-
sary to save the lives OF these stafv-
ing peoples.
Every dollar subscribed goes to the
relief work, as the expenses of the
campaign are being met privately and
all administrative work in Asia is
under the direction of American con-
suls, missionaries and other RESPONSE
BILE agents who give themselves to
relief distributor without expense for
salaries or compensation from relief
funds.
All the work of the committee is
conducted in consultation with our
own State department and all remit
tances to the field being sent under
license from the War Trade board.
The Red Cross is not organized for
relief work In these devastated Sec
lions.
