CAUSE OF IRISH
NOT ENDANGERED
BY PACT--WALSH
Only Protection from ''Exter-
nal Aggression" Provided,
Declares Montana Sena-
tor.
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON. July %. - Denial
that Article x Of the league Of nations
covenant would handicap the cause Of
Irish freedom or fix externally the
boundaries of nations was made in
the senate today by Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Montana, who said no Ian
guage could be clearer than the arti-
cle's stipulation that members are to
protect one another from external
aggression"
Beyond cavil and beyond contro-
versy," he said, this limits our OBJ
legation to the case of war by one ma
ton against another. 1t is a perfect
ly gratitous assumption that the politi-
cal map Of the world could never un-
dergo any change, unless nations are
permitted to wage aggressive warfare
against one another.
"All South and Central America re-
volted and the Independent govern
ments thereof established themselves
within the domain belonging to Spain
and Portugal. Article X would have
offered no obstacle to the transforma-
ton. Florida passed by peaceful pur-
chases from Spain to United States.
Louisiana, out of which have been
carved ten great states of the union,
was not acquired by conquest, but by
purchase.

England to subjugate Scotland, the

Referring to the assertion that out.
side aid in revolution such as France
gave the American colonies would be
precluded under the article, Mr.. Walsh

"The twentieth century is not the

in the eighteenth century, there prob

SAYS POLE POCROMS
ARE EXAGGERATED
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Sunday, July 27.-Henry
Morgenthau, former American am
bassador to Turkey, appointed by
President Wilson as head of the Amer
lean commission to investigate report
ed pogroms in Poland, told newspaper
men here today that the short visit
which he had made to Poland had con-
vinced him that the reports Of the
pogroms were tremendously exag.
gerated.
Mr.. Morgenthau added his view that
the Polish Jews sometimes overlook
ed the fact that equal rights involved
equal duties. If the Polish Jews wish
ed sincerely to collaborate with the
state, he declared, they must follow
the example of their American core
ligionists who consider themselves
above all things patriotic Americans.

1917 OFFER OF
PEACE DENIED
BY FRENCHMAN
Story Distortion of Truth"
Declares Ribot-Proposals
Made by Vatican Declined.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, July 28.-~A distortion OF
the TRUTH" was the characterization
applied by Alexandra Ribot to the re-
cent statement of Matthias Erzberger,
the German finance minister, declaring
that Great Britain and France made
peace overtures to Germany through
the vatican in 1917, which Germany
rejected. M. Ribot, who was French
premier and foreign minister at the
time In question, made this declaration
In a statement to Marcel Hutin Of the
Echo de Paris. The former premier
explained the occurrence as follows:
Pope Benedict in August, 1917, sug-
gested proposals to serve as basis
for overtures to Germany. France and
Great Britain both decided to decline
the proposals. The politest acknowl-
nothing more. The British minister to
the Vatican in his own name, pointed
out that the proposals did not contain
sufficient guarantees for Belgium. Car
dinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of
state, M. Ribot continued, seized upon
this to telegraph Germany for explo-
nations on the subject of Belgium. 1t
was an attempt to start a conversa-
ton, M. Ribot declared, but the Brit
ish government cut it off short and
the British minister went no further.
Il simply said to the British govern
ment," added NJ. Ribot, DO not let
yourself be involved in an indirect con-
versation like that and that was the
end of the matter"
COPENHAGEN, July 2s.-A dis.
patch from Vienna says that Count

Emperor Charles under date of April
IL, 1917, was handed to Matthias Err
berger without his knowledge by Ger.
tain irresponsible persons
Herr ErZberger Count Czerrin says
acted in good faith, and declares the
handing over of the report was a link
in the chain of minor intrigues which
caused him to resign.
Count Czerin asserts he will shortly
publish a book clearing up these
matters.
A Copenhagen dispatch of Sunday
said Count Czernin's report had been
published at Weimer, the seat of the
German national assembly. The prin
| cipal point of the report was the
necessity of opening peace negotia
tions before our enemies are aware
of our expiring power"
The report warned Emperor Charles
Of the deceptiveness of hopes founded
on submarine warfare and emphasized
what Americas entry into the struggle
| would mean.
