PLEADS FOR LEAGUE
Minority Report Of Senate Commit
tee Sent to Senate.

Washington, Sept. rI.-Rejection
of the peace treaty with its League
Of Nations covenant, or adoption of
amendments, would mean sacrifice
by the United States of all eonces-
sions, obtained from Germany under
a dictated peace, minority members
of the foreign relations committee
declared in a report presented today
to the Senate.
The report, prepared by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
Democratic member of the commit
tee, urged speedy ratification of the
treaty without amendments or reser-
vations. 1t Ndeplored "the long and
unnecessary delay to which the
treaty has been subjected while
locked in the committee whose rec
concentrations were from the start a

of mankind"
Fears that other nations may not
accept an amended covenant the re-
port dismissed with the statement:
THAT is one thing that certainly
will not happen. ** * The other
nations will take us on our own
terms, for without us their gains from
victorious peace are imperiled."
That the adoption of amendments
will necessitate reassembling of the
Peace Conference the report denies,
asserting that the conference prob
ably will be in session for six months
more in Paris and might as we'll be
at least as usefully employed" as

I think all of this happened in half a
minute. but il seemed like an age
sunk by Own Missil.
AS we leveled our craft at depth Of
sixty feet we turned in an effort to ram
the German. Then We discovered that
there were two C-boats IN our little party
besides the \ l. .. one was apparently
injured. for itn commander kept sending
calls for help. These We could detect on
cur sounding devices. We missed him
on the first thrust and then, balancing
our boat we waited For an hour We
heard the calls for help. but failed TO
locate him. We rose TO the surface and
circled about for an hour. but. finding
nothing to detan us, turned our nose
toward the base.
Two hours later the injured German
managed to come 10 the surface and for
two hours sent urgent calls 10 Berlin.
He was using his radio and continued
TO use il until his batteries were en-
hausted Then the calls became fainter
and fainter and finally ceased. That was
at o'clock i'm the morning and the
British Admiralty the next morning
credited MS with sinking.
"The British said tna' the German
fired at us, but missed. and that the
torpedo undoubtedly took freak course
and hit its own craft. The British said
that it had been mortally injured and
had sunk after its motors were ex-
hausted by the radio calls. Luckily when
that torepdo exploded We were on the
surface and that relieved the awGui
pressure. Had we been submerged, we.
too. would have gone down.

that we experienced during our hazardous
patrol work. Fighting a submarine at
its own game is the greatest sport In
