ATTACKS LEAGUE
New Mexico Senator Believes
Britain Will Dominate.
Declares if Such a Society Had Existed
in 1774 There Would Be No United
States.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, March 15.-
United States Senator Fall of New
Mexico, in addressing the Chamber of
Commerce here, said: eff the present
league Of nations plan is adopted,
Great Britain will rule the league,
and I object to Americas becoming a
subsidiary country of the British
isles"
If the league of nations had ex-
listed in 1774 there would be no United
States now" continued the senator.
"Other nations would have jumped in
and nipped in the bud the revolution
that gave us our independence.
LAS a league l do not oppose it.
There are many provisions which I
would gladly adopt for the benefit OF
the United States and the world at
large. But even if these were adopted
alone, this country would give up I'M
told rights of sovereignty which we
have possessed and defended since In
dependence day.
1.-THE charter of the league provides
for every self-governing nation or
province to have a voice in the league.
This brings in Canada, Australia, India,
Ireland and the other English prov
inces. Through their vote England
will run the world and use us to keep
these provinces forever subjected to
their mother country"

A meeting Of the workmen's soviets

machine guns. They protested to the
government but Noske refused to
withdraw the troops.

as yet undetermined group of experts,

Bernstorff Left Out.
The selection of the Peace confer
ence delegates was reached after a
long cabinet meeting. True to Presi-
dent Ebert's announcement at the
time of his election, Count Won Bern
storff will not be a delegate, although
there has been great pressure brought
to bear to have him named. His ap-
pointment was partly frustrated by in
formation received from abroad
through Americans here that the
choice of Count Won Bernstorff prob
ably would be rejected by the Allied
powers.

Brussels, March 1.-THE GEL.

here regarding the taking over by
the Allies of the German mercan.
tile fleet and the provisioning Of
Germany have definitely accepted
the conditions imposed by the
Allies.
/ The food ration for Germany
was fixed by the Allied commits
sion at 10000 tons a month.
At the conference the Germans
observed that this ration was
smaller than they had requested
and were p~essimistic as to the
arrangement of satisfactory finan-
cial terms.
Paris, March 1.-THE British pro-
gram is understood to contemplate the
signing of the separate preliminary
as possible after Germany is disposed
of. Next would come the considera-
tion Of amendments to the present con
%stitution of the League of Nations and
then the league would be whipped
into permanent shape. The final peace
treaty would follow and would include
the League of Nations plan.

To Talk Boundary Line.
One of the first questions to be con-
sidered by the council of ten, with
President Wilson participating in the
discussion, will be the boundary be-
tween Poland and Germany. The pol
ish boundary commission as we'll as
the general territorial commissions,
has virtually agreed unanimously on
this boundary. While no official an
nouncement has been made, it is
known that Danzig is included in Po-
land and that the commissions have
agreed upon a boundary which would
give Poland strategic points which
should make her an effective barrier
between anarchism and western Eu-
rope.
