Authorizing President to Ap-
point Representatives Of
League of Nations.

Washington, July 81. Senator
Norris. Of Nebraska, chief senate an
tagonist to the Shantung provision Of
the peace treaty, was today undecided
whether he will accept President Will
sons invitation to meet him at the
White House. The Nebraska sena-
tor was included in the White House
appointments announced for today but
postponed because of the presidents
illness. and 1t Is understood that he
was to have asked that he be excused
for the present.
With the president desirous of con-
tinuing his conferences with republic
can sepators at the White House,
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
ranking democrat of the senate for
eign relations committee, was sched-
uled to introduce In the senate early
this week the enabling act or resolu-
ton for the appointment by the pres
ident "by and with the advice and
consent of the senate" of the repre-
sentatives of the United States in
the league Of nations counsel and as
sembly and official documents 1t
was agreed between the president
and Senator Hitchcock, it was stated,
that the measure should emphasize
the explanations or interpretations
Of certain smooted provisions or as
poets of the peace treaty against
which opposition in the senate, ad-
ministration senators said, ''would
probably dwindle, once they were
clearly defined and understood"
Some senators who are out-and- out
advocates OF amendments or reserva-
tions declared today that mere ex-
planatory interpretations would not
satisfy them.
While Senator Norris name was on |
the list of engagements for today there |
were published reports that he had de- !

senator, however, refused to discuss |
these reports further than to say that |

GOVERNMENT INTENDS
TO use FIRM HAND
MURDERERS MUST BE PUN
ISHED FOR CRIMES.
State and Navy Departments
Waiting Details of Temesi
River Incident.

Washington, July 21.-The United
States government intends to handle
the new outrages against American
citizens with a firnI> and vigorous
hand despite assurances from Car
ranza that he would make earnest
attempt to prosecute the murderers
of John W. Correll, victim of Mexi-
can bandits.
This was plainly reflected today in
the attitude of the state and navy
departments which were await
ing additional details of the Temesi
river incident and officials made no
effort to minimize the seriousness OF
the situation caused by the attack on
ana robbery of American sailors OF
the U. s. S. Cheyenne by an armed
force along the stream. They re-
fused to divulge what procedure
would be followed, but made 1t very
plain that they had no intention of
letting the matter drop.
It was believed IN some circles that
the Carranza government would be
called upon to disavow the attack
and to furnish sufficient guarantees
that there would be no recurrence of
such Incidents. Thus 1t was pointed
out. the way would be opened for
drastic action by this government in
the event that Mexican outrages did
not cease forthwith.
The navy department was without
any additional information of the
Temesi river incident today. Secre-
tary Daniels said, and it was indi-
Gated that II none was received dur
ing the course of the day Commander
e. p. Finney. of the cruiser Topeka,
which is stationed at Tampico would
be asked to expedite a report.
Nothing in the Mexican situation
could arise to interfere with the itin-
erary of the Pacific fleet, now on its
way to the coast Secretary Daniels

INSCRIPTION ON
MONUMENT STOLEN
BOYS SWIPE NAMES OF
WILSON AND M'ADOO.
Purport of Peace Monument
Changed, but Builder
Still Loyal.

When Mr.. Wilson was first elected to
the presidency, w. I. Alexander, of
this city, erected a granite monu-
ment, bearing the inscription: will
SON -McAdoo Peace Monument. Peace
on earth, good wills to men," The
monument created some stir in the
newspaper world, and pictures of it
appeared in the leading newspapers
of the country. Recently, citizens
and Baldwin were startled to OBJ
serve that the inscription now read
merely: peace on earth, good will
to men," Speculation was rife as to
whether Mr. Alexander had changed
his political views.
When interviewed on Monday, Mr..
Alexander stated most emphatically
that he was still loyal admirer of
Wilson and McAdoo. IL have known
McAdoo personally. having roomed
with him when he first started out
in business" said Mr.. Alexander,
"and / consider him as straight a
man as l have ever seen, both NOR
ally and intellectually. While not
acquainted with President
Wilson, | have the highest respect
and admiration for him.,
Mr. Alexander said that the "Wil-
SON -McAdoo" part of the inscription
had been stolen. He is of the opin-
ION that some boys scaled the monu-
ment and carried off the bronze tab
ct, together with a cannon and
sword, which ornamented the space
lust below the dome. He is very
lnxious for the apprehension of the
.hieves, and has replaced the sword
md cannon by two 100-lb. snot.

"A younger member Of the kaiseps

admit that the Hohenzollerns have

Beautiful MESSAGE.

John Ruskin wrote, after the Cri-
mean war, beautiful passage, which
may be a profoundly comforting mes
sage to the bereaved:
Il ask their witness to whom the
war has changed the aspect Of the
earth, and imagery of heaven, whose
hopes it has cast off like a spiders
web, whose treasure it has placed, in
a moment, under the seals Of clay.
Those who can never more see sunrise,
nor watch the climbing light gid the
eastern clouds without thinking what
graves it has gilded, first, far down be-
hind the dark earthline-who never
more shall see the crocus bloom in
spring, without thinking what dust 1t is
that feeds the wild flowers. Ask their
witness, and see if they will not reply
that it is well with them and with
theirs; that they would have it no 9TH
erwise; would not, If they might, re-
ceive back their gifts of love and life,
not take again the purple of their blood
out of the cross on the breastplate Of
England"
