WASHINGTON. Sept. 1G.-President
Wilson'S utterances during tho world
war and the peace negotiations and
those he is now making in support OF
the peace treaty are glaringly incon~
ssten., Senator Lodge, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee and
leader of the Republican opposition to
the peace treaty with Germany, de-
clared in tho Senate to-day.
Senator Lodge was replying to state
,nents made by the President in Port
land, Ore, last night, that the Senator's
opposition to the league Of nations
covenant now is inconsistent with
speeches delivered by Mr. Lodge in
1918. when he advocated n league Of
nations with the armed forces of the
world behind it to preserve the peace
Of the world.
"Whcn we are looking for inconsist-
oncies, we can find them even in the
greatest men," Senator Lodge said. He
declared that his attitude toward the
league OF nations had been identical
with that of Theodore Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt abandoned the idea
that the league would effect world
peace at the same time that Mr..
Lodge did. said the Senator He added
that Colonel Roosevelt's last public
utterances. in which the former Prcsi-
dent declared that the United States
should not be a party to any league in
which its sove reignty and independence
we're not protected. showed the same
Inconsistency" as Senator Lodges pub
lie utterances Of the same time.

Georges emphatic denial OF the Bull
1itt charges regarding Russia comes as
q great relief to his supporters, who
believe the controversy will now be
dropped and quickly forgotten beneath
a multitude Of local questions.
The British press, with the exception
of those newspapers which are openly
hostile to the Premier, have hes1tated
to comment at length on the statements
of Mr.. Bullitt before the Senate COM
mittee rs first cabled to this country.
With tho Premier's denial to-day to
offset the Bullitt assertions most OF
the newspapers carry editorial articles
on the subject.
''The Times" develops the suggestion
that the disclosures were political
move on the part Of the Presidents
critics. 1t says:
"Prcsident Wilson is gaining ap-
pIause in the West by his vigorous
denunciations of Bolshevism. and what
could be more opportune at the mo-
mcnt that the production Of witness
supplied with documents to assert
that he and Lloyd George had been
making approaches to the Russian Boil
shcvk government from Paris and
keeping secret their proceedings from
the other allied delegates
Demands Stronger Explanation
Regarding the trustworthiness of
the Premler's uttcrances on the matter,
"Thc Times" says:
"Lloyd George was speaking by the
card and on strictly technical lines.
He may have been justified in what he
said. But explanations much more pre-
else are required to meet the definite
allegations of the kind attributed to
Bulitt,"
"The Morning Posts" editorial arti-
Gle, which was headed "An Explosive
Bulitt," says that Pres ident Wilson
picked the wrong person when he took
this explosive journalist into the
peace mission. The newspaper adds
against "thc first laws Of the game,
and many perform of the same order
would send journalism into ex-com-
muncation."
The Post" says the Bulhtt story
may be a tissue of lies" "but, after
all, his journey to Russia is fact,
his reports are a fact, and it is GER
tain at one time Premier Lloyd George
showed him signs Of personal esteem
and confidence"
"Tne Evening News" asks details of
precisely how much of Bullitt's testi-
mony is untrue.
Question of Neracity
The Chronicle" says a charge like
Bulitt's against Lloyd George de
pends for the whole OF its value on
the veracity, honor and judgment OF
the person making it."
"With regard to Mr.. Bullitt," the
newspaper adds, tive need only say
that much rests on his evidence-tha
especially, directed against President
Wilson or Secretary Lansing. Colonel
House showed Bul]itt as a man with
no sense Of honor or sponsibility
Whatever.'
"Some American politicians are not
ovcrsc1upulous. said one Of the Pre-
mier's secretaries. commenting on the
incident. "Anything in the nature of
suggestion that the President is
under the Prime Minister'S thumb is
calculated to do Mr.. Wilson great po-
l.tical injury. Premier Lloyd George
can take care Of himself and Will easily
dispose of these revclations'

thought the Senate might as well per-
init the galleries to ENJOY themselves.
Mr.. Hitchcock asked Senator Lodge it
re might expect a vote on the Johnson
British Empire amendment next week,
but Mr.. Lodge repeated in answer to
every question-Mr Hitchcock repeated
he same question in different words
about four times-that he would give
10 assurances whatever.
Treaty up Again Friday
Senator Hitchcock then tried to pin
Mr.. Lodge down that the reason he
d'd not want vote at this time was
because of the absence Of the author
of the amendment-Sen Hiram W.
Johnson. The Nebraska Senator sought
by this to make the point that by trail
ng the President TO the Pacific Coast
Senator Johnson was delaying the
Senate's business
Senator Lodge replied that TWO Demo-
cratic Senator'S had obtained assurances
rom him that there would be no vote
his week, one because Of illness in his
amily and another who had 10 return

In the statement Senator Lodge de-
clared that Colonel Roosevelt In Au-
gust, 1914. suggested that the nations
form convention to prevent wars.
In his Union College speech the SEN
ator took up that idea and suggested
that league of nations, backed by
force, be formed to preserve peace.
"But l said nothing about sacrificing
our independence in order to secure
the League" he said.
The Republican leader quoted more
than score of public utterances made
by President Wilson during the first
two years Of the war, before the Uni
ted States entered it. and Immediately
after the United States became a bel

"When we entered the war, the
President changed his view" said
Senator Lodge. ~ do not criticisc him
because We entered the war, but be-
cause he was inconsistnt."
The President also was inconsistent,
the Senator continued, when he told
the Foreign Relations Committee, in
reply to questions asked by Senator
McCumber, OF North Dakota, that the
United States would have got into the
war anyway, if the Germans had not
inaugurated their submarine campa gn
and sunk the Lusitania.
Senator Lodge also quoted state
mcnt made by the President in 1915,
after the Germans had started their
submarine campaign, that "thc United
States stands for the same principles
as Germany; it also wants to preserve
the freedom Of the seas"
