Lodge of Massachusetts Says
League of Nations Will Not
Be Ratified.
81 MEMBERS PLEDGED
Names of Those Who Will Oppose
Covenant in Next Congress Are
Eead Into the Record Of
Retiring Senate.

Washington, March s. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, read in the
senate names of 81 Republican mem
bers of the new senate. number suf
ficient to block ratification of a treaty,
saying they had approved a resolution
setting forth that 'the constitution OF
the league Of nations in the form now
proposed to the peace conference
should not be accepted by the United
States"
The list was inserted in the record
by the Republican leader after Demo
cratic Leader Martin and Senator
Swanson of Virginia had raised stimuli
taneous objection to consideration of
the resolution which he had introduced
after long conferences with minority
members and had communicated by
telegraph and telephone with Republi-
can senators and senators-elect who
were not in Washington. The resolu.
ton went over by the rules.
Oppose Constitution.
While opposing the constitution as
now drafted, the resolution sets forth
that it was the desire of the Senate
that the nations of the world should
unite to promote peace and general
sense .of the Senate that The nego-
tiations on the part of the United
States should Immediately be directed
to the utmost expedition of the urgent
business of negotiating peace terms
with Germany" and that then the
league proposal should be taken up for
careful and serious consideration.
Unable to secure consideration of his
measure, Senator Lodge read the
names of the 81 members of the next
Senate, which will consider the peace
treaty, who, the minority leader said
favor his resolution.
Democrats Plan Move. r.
Democratic leaders considered some
action in the nature of a reply to the
Republicans move Chairman Hitch
cock of the Foreign Relations commit
tee, it was stated, was considering ad.
dressing the Senate on the subject.
He pointed out privately that the reso,
luton recited that the present league
charter should not" be accepted by
the United States. Senator Hitchcock
said that while the Republicans effort
was to present a flat" declaration
of opposition to the present league
constitution, the term used did not
necessarily imply that they would vote
against the present draft.
Pointing out that the constitution
opposed merely is committee report,
Senator Swanson said: The resolu-
ton and the Republicans endorsing it
do not say that they would defeat a
final peace treaty containing the pres
ent league constitution"

Aporoves French Claims.

London, March Recommending up
on the terms which Marshal Foch will
present to the Germans, the Times
says: They will be severe and such
as will effectively disarm the Central
powers on the side nearest France.
France has a just right to extra mill
tary guarantees on her frontier toward
Germany, and these guarantees may
well have to take the form Of special
territorial establishments. In any case,
France may count on our assistance
in obtaining all these necessary guar
antees.

Use Time to Adxantane

Time, which never stands still itself,
will not allow any one of us to stand
still. 1t delivers into our hands sixty
minutes every hour and compels us to
dispose of them in some way. Whether
We will or not, constant accounting
has to be rendered. One who falls into
the habit of dissipating time dissipates
not only opportunity but happiness. for
the spendthrift Of time becomes q
spendthrift of the other things which
make life worth while.-Forbes Maya

Just before adjournment President
Wilson, in his capitol office, authorized
final notice to the republicans that
their effort to force an immediate ex.
ira session had failed; that he was
mistaken in his determination not to
call congress until his work at the
peace conference was done.
Return of Roads Urged.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, and Senator Overman Of
North Carolina were among those who
went to the presidents Office and
urged that since the republicans had
defeated the essential appropriation
bill the railroads be returned to their
owners forthwith. ...
After Democratic Leader T. S. Mar

not pass, the president authorized Mr..
Martin to announce that under no cir
cumstances would he change his plan
to postpone the calling of the new con-
gress until his return from France.
The president gave none of his call

Victory Liberty Loan and the $1,000

Those who mention the death of Ly-
man Stearns, long an agent for the
Union, recall always his championship
among New Hampshire checker play
ers. 1t seems q minor matter now,
but there was time when checkers
were important, observes Manchester

was deep, the papers not what they
are now, and the telephone not known,

habits votarieS everywhere. A board

tavern, shrewd, usually rather thought.

Here and there notable authorities
were developed. Men walked miles
to play with each other. The merits
OF center and side attack, of conserva-
ton or sacrifice, were widely debated
Now, the dominating thought of the
people has become better expressed
in baseball. Only few of the elect
still make the, game a passion.
There is yet to be written philoso.

baseball? How does it happen that be.

Scotland devoted to golf instead of

only one or two pugilists of reputa-

voted most attention to ball playing
and pugilism been the dominating ones
in commerce and government?
Recreation is product of character
expressing itself freely. What does
the game of checkers mean? Evidently

The secret of true wisdom is tn

New-York tribune., 1919-01-19
Chaplain Sxthy returns from round of pastoral calls
An Oberammergau in West Hoboken

ing held for the 1919 season, and the man
agement is especially dcsirous of spcn-
did performance in celebration of the COM
ing Of peace. There viii be no changes in or
insertions into the text of the play itself,
though the young men in the cast who have
been to war and have come back may sue
ceed in introducing modern martial effects
into the Roman sodiery scenes.
"Veronicas Veil" is based upon the life
OF the Saviour at the time of His crucfxion,
but does not end with the scene that pict-
ures His death. The main theme Of the
play has to do with the tradition Of Veron
ica, Roman matron, who in her compass
sion handed her veil to Christ on His wav
to Calvary that he might wipe the sweat
and blood from His face The cloth re-
tanned thereafter an indelible impression
OF his features and was possessed of mirac-
ulous powers. The play depicts the mar
tyrdom of early Christians in Rome and
ends with scene of their glorifcation. It
was written by Father Bernardine busch.
