The habits and customs of the
North Russian peasant are sources
OF unceaSing wonder to the Ameri-

huts hundred, OF Yankee infantry

America "fettered" by the League Of
Nations Sen. Lodge. Massachusetts,
republican leader of the senate. as
serted today in senate speech on
the League
by meddling in all the differences
which may arise among mankind,
we simply fritter away our influence

pose said Lodge.
We shall be of far more value
TO the world and its peace by oc-
cupying so far as possible the sit
uation we have occupied for the last
year. and by adhering TO the policy
of Washington and Monroe"
Lodge denied this means policy
of American isolation. That. he
said, is no longer possible, because
the United States became a world
power at the time of the war with
Spain.

isolate the United States or TO make

whose votes will be controlled by

the most marked characteristic Of
