tt0ntlnued from Page One.l .~-~~~-~--.o~->~----- -s-~-~~------~. "It is not league of nations at all. , but q league of representatives of cer- tain nations holding in their hands , the power of peace and war without any check by the masses who have [ to figh."
 Article 10, providing that each na- ton in the league should guarantee the territorial integrity Of all mem bers, he said, was the only clear pro- vision in the constitution and
 have no Goubt who wrote that. IL was not the American delegates Would Involve |. $. Operation of, this article he main 1 tained, would involve the United States .'in the auarrels of three con tinents''
 Asserting he had been asked what he would offer in place of the league, he declared he haG to offer the in- tense nationalism of Washington, of Monroe, of Lincoln. of Theodore Roosevelt" America should live her own life. , he continued ''I would be willing 10 take Woodrow Wilson's arm anc walk arm in arm with him as did William H. Taft. here the other night, if he would stand by this declaration which he made after America entered the war:
 "'When we go out from this pres ence We ought to take with us tha. I idea that we are devoted to the pur- pose of enabling America to live her own life, to be the most just, the most progressive, the most honorable na- , tion in the world.
 ''The scheme is revolutionary and dangerous to the last degree" said | Senator Reed. The powers granted i to the executive council, and which may be exercised by five men, are stupendous, dangerous and appalling. 1 Their misuse might result in destruc- tion of the liberty of the world-in the crushing of the American repub- l lis-in the creation of an internation- al despotism worse than has ever
 cursed the earth or any single na- tion thereof Senator Reed said any claim that the! league would not destroy the Monroe doctrine was either made in ignorance or is dishonesty made. ' He declared the world court as planned, would embroil America in all wars and political intrigues; de- stroy it's sovereignty and compel sery- ice of it's armed forces in all parts
 of the world.
 The acceptance by the United
 States of the proposed constitution of the league of nations may involve the

Erog's Appetite.

The common green frog has been discovered to possess an unsuitable greed for wssps. This extraordinary appetite does not seem to be in the least checked by an occasional sting. The protecting color of the frog, which sits motionless upon leaves, no doubt deludes the most wary of insects into . sense of security.

An Amicable. Agreement.

The people have been taught that the league, is merely ahn amicabla agreement that the world shall remain at peace. They have been told that unless the league is, ,,consummated, the world will be immediately involved in a chaos of war that will destroy the very foundations of society and civil ization. People are taught that they can receive the benefits of this league without involving our country in any serious obligations e
 T affirm that it, in fact, proposes to set up world government which tional matters as completely as the federal government now has jurisdic ton over questions affecting the states of the union.
 May Produce War.
 Moreover. it will have Jurisdiction of domestic matters which in the opinion of the majority of the league may tend to produce difficulties out of which war may spring.
 "The seat of this league will become in fact the capital of the world.
 ''The construction of the league is essentially autocratic The powers are so highly centralized and so ut terly without balances, checks, or safeguards, as to be repugnant to all forms of democracy"
 Cannot Favor League.
 Senator Thomas said he had studied the proposed league of nations plan pre-disposed to enroll himself in it's favor, but had found himself unable to do SO
 He was in favor, he said, of some plan which would make wars more infrequent, if not impossible" but he regarded the proposed league as filled with dangers to peace.
 "This is commitment to a new national policy, more easily made than abandoned" he asserted. "I believe in the sanctity of treaty obligarlolts
 Because America intended to live up to her treaties, he asserted, it was essential that it understand thorough ly what those obligations were.
 One of the most serious drawbacks in the proposed plan, he declared, was the fact that Japan, which he char acterized as virtual autOcracy, was a charter member Although the ques- tion of lifting immigration restric- tions had been dropped by Japan, Sen- ator Thomas predicted that this ques' tion would continually be revived ih the league with embarrassment to the United States.
 Can See Disaster.
 "Japan's ideals are not our ideals, he declared. With such mixed mem bership, I can see only disaster ahead"
 Another provision which Senator Thomas held forth as dangerous was that for International labor set dement's.
 Economic pressure, he declared would be an intellectual means of se- curing peace.
 Senator Thomas closed with the as- sertion that the league of nations would have the greatest promise of success would be one which had as a starting point "a better understand ing between the two great English speaking countries"
