MONROE DOCTRINE INCLUDED.
Revised Covenant Changed in Four
Essential Points.

Washington April 2S.--In the re-
vfsed covenant of the league of nations
the four chief objections urged against
the covenant by American opponents
of the league are met.
I. The validity of the Monroe doc
trne is specially recognized.
9 II is provided that member of
the league, after two years notice OF
it's intention, may withdraw from the
league. provided that all of it's inter
national obligations and all of its OBJ
legations under the covenant shall have
been fulfilled at the time OF it's with
drawal
g. To meet the criticism that there
would nc an inequality OF voting pow =
er. Great Britain with her toninons
have eight votes to one for the United
states. II is provided in tho new COW
cnart tHat decisions at any meeting Of
the assembly or tn" e" '."''l shall re-
uuilc the agreement of Hll the member
Of the league represented at the meet =
ing"
4. No member OF the league can be
made n mandatory for the government
and administration of any colony or
territory unless it be willing to accept
such trust. This puts it squarely UP to
congress as to whether or not the Unit =
cd States shall undertake the trust of
governing any foreign people. ....
TO the new covenant there is a So
called annex which names thirty one
states as original members Of the lea =
que OF nations and names also the
states that have been invited to accede
to the covenant. The original mem
bers of the league. as named in the

cued another. Four men were reported
saved by other crews. 1t was learned
the launch was from the destroyer
Bell.

| statement as soon as an inquiry had
been completed. Unofficially it was
declared that eight men were missing.
| Michael Marshall, a railroad brake
man, who put out in small boat from
shore hoping to effect rescues, said he
was told by a navy officer that from
! twenty-five to fifty sailors were in the
launch and that all except two had
| been saved.
