SENATOR LODGE CALLS
PRESIDENT D|SCREPANT
Declares His Stand Regarding
Fiume Is Contrary to Policy
as to Danzig.

BOSTON, April 26.-United States
Senator Lodge declared tonight that
President Wilson's stand in regard to
Fiume was inconsistent with his atti-
tude concerning Danzig. He said the
Presidents attitude toward Danzig
was a betrayal of the Poles. while it
was incredible that an outlet to the
Adriatic could not have been found
for the Jugosiavs except through hume.
He spoke DIT a meeting of the Middlesex
Club.
1T seems utterly Incredible, said
Senator Lodge, that it would not
have been possible to give the JuSo-
siavs access to the Adriatic and also
protect the rights of Italy.
'Danzing is al the mouth of Fistula
and the building up of Poland is one of
the necessities Of the time. Poland must
have access to the sea. Poland is "A
barrier state and it must be built up.
The paragraph relating to Poland was
the only one of the fourteen command
not get Danzig it will be shut up and
will have to carry on it's commerce
through a German-managed port.
"It appears to me an absolute betrayal
of Poland not to return Danzig to her.
Our representatives attitude relative to
Danzig does not square with his atti-
tude in relation to Fiume. / cannot see
why the arguments pertaining to Fiume
do not apply to Danzig and Poland"
"Our representative has taken upon
himself to be the arbiter of every sim
gle question that has arisen in Eu-
rope. How do you think they feel
about our representative today-not
the American people, but the repre-
sentative Of the American people-for
meddling in trivial European ques-
tions? We must cease meddling in
European questions-we do not want
them to meddle in ours. Today there
is bitter feeling in Italy against US,
where months ago they were burning
candles before the picture of our
President. The best method of pre-
serving peace is to let people settle
their own affairs.
Another matter of more conse-
uuence than either Fiume or Danzig
oAus we have only just discovered
and that is that the Japanese insist
upon taking Shantung, a province of
forty million people. Fiume was
conquered territory and Danzig was
enemy territory. The people of
Shantung were among our allies in
the war. Shantung is the price Japan
demands for allowing China to join
the allies. 1t is not Europe but Asia
where our interest is as great as
theirs That is something that
should be looked into by the Senate
if it appears in the treaty Of peace"

CAD|LLACS STILL RAMbLE OVER
APACHE TRAIL WITHOUT TROUBLE

To describe, to put into simple, I'M
derstandable words, a performance of
something achieved, is often a diff
cult matter. 1t is SO often necessary
for the outsider to remind us of some
thing that is really unappreciated by
ourselves-things that become COM
monplace because of their monotonous
regularity.
A word from without is often val
liable, as the subject is viewed from a
different angle. For instance, the other
day, a stranger rode over the Apache
Trail with "Alabam,' the veteran
driver of Cadillac Fights. He tells
"Alabam," as they twist and turn
over the mountains that in his opinion
there are two classes of automobiles,
Cadillacs and all the others. "Alabam"
thinks so too. We grant that he
should at least possess some valuable
experience, as he has put in years at
| the game of driving people over the
Apache Trail. Should this fail to give
the desired thrill to the skeptic, let
him start out and make trip fo-
| himself in the present condition of
the road and he'll change his mind
inside of twenty miles.
Does 1t mean anything to the rider
Of the smooth pavements, to say that
one of the Cadillacs of the Union Stage
line has missed sixteen days in tive
solid years of daily travel? Think OF
it-a trip a each day of one hundred
and twenty miles for two long years
and then a vacation of sixteen days
and during the sixteen days to be
painted and seat covers put on. Car

CAR OWNERS HAVE
CURIOUS HANDICAP

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Slow a state
law is being used to bleed automo-
bile owners was disclosed at the di-
rectors meeting of the National Auto
mobile Dealers association in Denver
October IA, by George d. McCutcheon
of Atlnta, southeastern director for the
association. McCutcheon called atten-
ton to the fact that in both North
and South Carolina there is law pro-
viding that wherever an automobile in
jures a pedestrian or other person by
collision or otherwise, the person SO
injured may institute a suit for the
forfeiture of the vehicle.
This law has been taken advantage
of very curiously. The courts have
ruled that anyone driving an automo-
bile with the owners consent stands ir
the same relation before the law as
the owner. Under this Interpretation
chauffeurs take out expensive high
powered automobiles and having pre-
viously conspired with INSCRIPTIONS
persons have accidents in which ped
estrians are run over and injured,
though seldom seriously. Instead of
buying an automobile or stealing 1t,
| the prospect" in North and South
Carolina is now going out, spotting the
car he wants and permitting 1t to run
into him.
So serious has this situation become
and so dangerous to the automobile
owner that National Automobile Deal
ers association passed a resolution
denouncing the law and pledged 1T
support to the newly formed bi-stat,
trade association In the Carolinas tina
when the legislatures next meet tn
national association support would b.
given to the local dealers to obtain tn
repeal of these statutes.
