Senator Beckham of Ken

Methods for Reducing
Wars Have Failed.
Especial United Press Wire.

Washington, July II. = Senator
Beckham of Kentucky, i'll a senate
speech, predicted the common sense
of the great mass of American people
will prevail against the prophets of
evil who are demanding a rejection
of the nations league
He said because all other methods
for. reducing wars had failed, the
people were willing to try the league.
Common sense citizens do not see
in the league the many snares
mares nests and evil demons that
have possessed and inflamed the
lurid imaginations of some orators.
Common sense quickly answers these
prophets of disaster with an unal-
terabIe conviction that if provision
like article 10 had existed in August,
1914, the war would have never oc-
cured He charged that a personal
dislike of the president and partisan
politics influenced the opposition
and said an ignominous defeat awaits
the republican party in 1920, if it
makes the league an issue.

Paris, July 21.-Advices from
European countries, especially from
the allied nations, indicate that the
international strike as planned by
the proletariat as protest against
intervention in Russia and Hungary,
had lost it's element of danger and
had met with complete failure in
many places. Apparently the strike
leaders had lost their control or had
needed the governments warning.
Only in Norway were there indi-
cations that the situation might
prove serious. A general strike
was called. The strike Saturday
forced Christiania to do without
light and water, tram cars and news
papers. The government issued an
order closing restaurants and order
ing three-day prohibition of alcohol
sales.
In France the strike was officially
called. kilograms from Italy, Aus
tria, Germany and Great Britain, in,
dicated the movement had been
abandoned, either wholly or practi,
cally on account of the pressure OF
public opinion. Dispatches from
Germany announced the idea OF
world revolution had been weakened
greatly, as the result of violent pro
tests from German agriculturists anC
