The League to Enforce Peace held a

of Nations and urge the ratification of

several speakers had been unanimously
cheered for their advocacy Of the league,

the league. {,
The crowd Immediately began kissing
and booing, and yelling throw him
out! |" Winslow tried to continue, but
could not until Judge William II. Wad-
hams IF the Court of General Sessions,
the pricipal speaker for the league, asked
the crowd to listen to him.
~ would like to speak for fifteen min
utes against the league" said Winslow
Homer Folks, chairman of the meet

is not. The cession Ia direct. He could
mot, by any declaration upon his own
part alter the terms Of the treaty, which
is passed on by the Senate. This is the
law Of the country, contained within tho
four corners of this document II 1t is
ratified.
IL think his idea OF trusteeship was
explained by an answer he made to mo
which called for an expression Of oplnlon
upon his part as to what portions OF
these overseas possessions tho United
States would likely retain, whether It was
not understood, at least tentatively. that
we were to get nothing out of It, and l
remember that he most enthusiastically
replied that he would certainly hope that
the United States would take that posi-
ton VITA which entirely agreed.
= 1T iH apparent TO any one who has
discussed the matter, considered II I'm
good faith, that there is no representa-
tive OF the United States who was In
Paris who knows anything about the
treaty, except one or two or three arti.
Giles which he might himself have had
something to do with.
THE President was absorbed In his
labors by the future of the world, Just
as Alexander !. was laboring under
the belief that he must prepare the
world for the millennium and he was
tn forerunner Of The Messiah. His
mind was wrapped Up. In the great vi
sions he had seen, just as that of Alex

Constitution charges the Senate with
the task and duty Of advising and con-
sentlng to all treaties, It hardly was
Intended that the Senate should re*rite
treaty but that we, as representing
the United states, should be principally
concerned with positively and emphati-
cally protecting the independence and
rights and sovereignty Of our own coun-
try.
ut appears to me that we are not
in position to rewrite the present
treaty even in part; we are not In pos
session of sufficient facts or knowledge
of international negotiations we have
only superficial and surface information.
Certain features Of the treaty appeal to
us as Offering opportunity II not demand
for improvement that Is self-evident.
IL do not doubt that many sections OF
the treaty could be greatly improved IL
we had the necessary Information at
hand and perhaps even though we have
not. But I repeat that feel our main
responsibility is to protect the destiny
OF our own country"

WILSON FACES BOTH
WAYS, SAYS REED
Missouri Senator Charges Pres
ident keyerses Himself on
League of Nations.
HE SPEAKS IN OKLAHOMA
Denies Right of Any Office
Holder to Sacrifice Amer
lean Lives.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept so.--ouoting
from pre-war and later speeches OF
President Wilson, Senator Reed, Demo-
crat (Mo). speaking here tonight In
opposition to the League of Nations, said
the President had reversed his own
opinions in order to support the league
proposal
1.-THE American people have been led
generally to believe that the league Is
formed for our benefit. and that Its
purpose is to keep America out or war;
said Senator Reed. AS a matter OF
fact, the league is formed for the beneht
Of other nations and is to be maintained
largely at dhe expense of the American
people"
The President has Convinced himself
thaty 1t is the business of American
statesmen 10 sacrifice America on the al
tar of humanity" he asserted. Refer
ring to Mr.. Wilson's remark at Reno,
during his recent tour, that he wanted
''to get into any kind of trouble that
will help liberate manki9d.' and did
my skin or my pocketbook or my friend
ships" the Senator said: -
1.-THE trouble is that il is not the
Presidents skin that il to be sacrificed.
1t is the skin of the backs Of the Amer
lean people. 1t is not the Presidents
pocketbook that il to be emptied. 1t Is
the pocketbooks of 110.o0e,0o0 Ameri-
cans.
II deny the right of any temporary
Nfff hold Nt- On To Low q
his office as to compel your sons to
sacrifice their lives in the contests of
other nations. ! deny the right of any
temporary office holder to lay burdens
upon American taxpayers TO control
alien peoples who spurn our authority
and hate us for interference in their
affairs. Bear in mind the men who pro-
pose to impose those great obligations
of sacrifice are not the ones who bear
the burdens.
LET me give you little sample OF
the kind of sacrifices that are made by
Office holders. The President went over
to Paris He took 1900 men over with
him. A glass pavilion was built on a
great ship beneath which he could prom
enade He asked Congress for 5000, 0ee
to pay the expenses of this trip. Con-
gress refused but the expenses pro-
ceeded. They rented an entire hotel for

a laundry bill of s31,5SS, and yet did
not wash all the dirty linen"
Citing programmes for an army or
SOS. 200, which he said the Administra-
ton had planned to meet>-sbligations
under the League of Nations, he said
1t showed the purpose of the league.
''The truth is we are making league
of war" he declared. I'VE propose to
unite with FIVE great nations to control
the affairs of the world. This requires
armies and navies of tremendous mag
ntude, for the. people of this country
will never submit to dictation. What
does the United States gain from thisP
She does not seek territories, she does
not seek lands.
"All of her principal associates in the
league are grabbing lands and people in
every quarter of the globe We propose
90 pour our dollars into their Golfers
and to pour the blood of our sons upon
the altar of their ambitions This Is
what the President is pleased to call
aacrifice."

LOWELL REPLIES TO BoRAH.
Denies Any Attack on Washing
tons Farewell Address.

BosroN, Sept. 3O.--A. Lawrence Low
ell. president of Harvard University,
to-day issued a statement in reply to re-
marks by Senator Borah (Idaho) in the
Senate yesterday Senator Borah, eriti-
cising the League of Nations, said the
views of President Lowell were not cal
culated to arouse enthusiasm for Ameri-
can traditions and American history,
and that the Harvard president held In
contempt Washingtons Farewell Ad-
dress.
President Lowell IN his statement
said: IT yield neither to Senator Borah
nor to any other man In admiration of
the Farewell Address and of the great
fathers OF the republic but I would not
use them as q cover for present party
politics. Never did 7 sneer ct the Fare
we'll Address but 1 believe that the
greatness of Washington was due to his
looking the facts of his day in the face
and determining his conduct thereby in
stead of by utterances, however wise,
of hundred and fifty years before,
win trust the American people not to
mistake shortsightedness for patriotism
or narrowmindedness for love Of coun-
try"

three months from ejeeting Mexico from
the disputed land, assuming that Mexico
has meantime taken possession and
raised her nag over the disputed terri
tory.
But under Article XVI. II the United
states, by any act which could possibly
be construed ms an act of war, had at
tempted TO maintain It's position or to
eject the Mexican claimants, we would
be automatically at war with all the
nation members of the league. They
would be bound to send their military
and naval forces to employ financial
and economic measures, to compel US to
acquiesce in the league decision.

lean, to succeed the late Representa-

suppose even that Mexico merely
sends her custom officers and raises
her flag. How long would the State
OF Texas and the people of the United
States permit that? Yet any effort to
prevent 1t would readily be construed
as an act Of war Our hands would be
completely tied,
"Lets me take up the matter of our
representations in the council and as
sembly. Article ~ provides for the
creation OF three kinds Of members of
the League Council. First. the five per-
manent members, representing the
United States, Great. Britain. France.
ltaiy and Japan. Then there is provis-
ION that other permanent members may
DC created BY the council and the as
semplG FINALLY there are the four TEN.
porary ones named in the instrument,
put to whom successors may be desig-
mated by the assembly at its discretion.
These are merely temporary members
Tor the purpose of organization and the
assembly may displace them at the end
OF a month, year or Ave years.
The Presidents letter in which he
joins with Clemenceau and Lloyd George
In assuring Canada that she would be
eligible to representation on the council
clearly shows that this was the judg-
ment of those men at that time. The
four temporary members of the council
can be displaced IL desired at the very
first meeting of the assembly, and
Canada could get one of the seats. The
letter was written for the very purpose
OF assuring Canada to this effect and
thus inducing her to ratify.
I'VE are told that If we amend the
treaty the Peace Conference must be
called together again and that this
would occasion so much delay that we
must not consider amendments. Yet this
very morning the Senator from Me-
braska, Mr.. Hitchcock, during the de-
bate has shown us that the Peace Con-
ference Is still In session and function
Ing at Paris, engaged in the business OF
distributing the world. We are told
that we must not suggest amendments
because they would have to be accepted
by Germany. and Germany would never
consent to them. We are assured that
Germany. having. once signed this in
strument, cannot possibly be compelled
to assent to any changes in it.

Mr.. Fairbank, sales manager of the
Firestone Tire 6 Rubber Company of
Akron, Ohio, is in Harrisburg to-day
visiting the local branch, of the organi-
zation. He has a very optimistic view
of the future and when interviewed to-
day stated that, while last year was a
record breaker for the Firestone COM
pany. plans have been laid to take care
of 1919, which is anticipated will be the
biggest year in the company's history
Mr.. Fairbank says. "The passenger
and commercial vehicle manufacturers
look forward to this being a banner year
with them-which of course will mean
greater volume of business to both the
dealers and makers of quality tires"
He outlined various of the many ways
in which Firestone are helping and in
tend to further help their dealers. Many
of the countrys largest and most eff
ficiently operated garages and tire
dealers have brought their problems and
troubles to Fire-;tone and received help
that enabled them to overcome their
difficulties and operate on paying
basis. "The brains of our organization
are at our dealers call and we are hap
piest when they are taken advantage
of"
Mr. Fairbanll states that he finds
dealers and car owners everywhere sin
cerely enthusiastic over the quality
tires Firestone is now building and the
splendid service which they are giving.
He regrets that his time in Harris
burg is so limited that he will not be
| able to meet and become acquainted
with all those he would like to. but
hopes that in the near future he may
have the pleasure of meeting each and
every Firestone( Customer in the Harris
burg territory.
He says. however, that the wonderful
| showing being made by the local Fire
stone branch has proven to the home
| office that Branch Manager ]. II. Dutch
! and his loyal force at Harrisburg are
| capable and anxious to help all dealers
along the road to success and prosper

ding will take place at st. Marys Epis-
copal Church on March 4. to be followed
by a large reception and honeymoon

Owing to the fact that a number of
the officers who would have served in
the bridal party are still overseas, or
have been discharged from the service,
the original plan of a large military
