Special Despatch 10 TaH suN.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The conclu-
sion of Congress has brought no termi-
nation to the influx OF letters to Senators
regarding the League of Nations Even
Senator's who have not yet spoken and
those who probably will not speak on
the league covenant are receiving daily
patches OF mail on the subject.
More than a week ago THE Sun pub
lished excerpts from the correspondence
OF Senator Borah Access was accorded
to-day to the correspondence OF Senator
Reed (Dem.) opponent OF the league.
Mr.. Reeds correspondents for the most
part are ostis own political faith. Some
are Republicans, but largely the writer's
announce themselves as Democrats in
national and state politics.
The first letter is from a citizen OF
Charlottesville, Ind. 1t save: Il am

Gratis in Congress who are willing to
bind our country TO the cowardly policy
OF such a League OF Nations as Is pro-
posed rather than that policy OF ihde-
pendence and It's resultant spirit Oh
bravery which our ancestors acquired ~
the Revolution and subsequent wars.
THE only possible reason or excuse
that l can see for this hig hearted ma
ton becoming entangled In such com
bination is TO insure the repayment OF
the immense sums furnished the other
efYete members of the league to sustain
them during the war. No one can doubt
that by far the greatest burden of sus-
talning that league must fall on this
country. AND fOr what purpose? Far
better would 1t be in the long run for
this Government to lose the advance
ments made than to spend ten times
that amount In sustaining a League OF

effects of his recent hard work. except
traces OF the fatigue which were apparent
when he sailed eastward from New York.
Tonight the President was much re-

on the statement he made at the time
Congress adjourned, these comments
having been sent to the steamship by
wireless. The President himself made no
comment upon the expressions of the
Senators.
The number thirteen. which is regarded
as President Wilson's lucky number. is
again figuring in connection with the
Presidents doings. The present Is the

expects to arrive in France on Thursday.
