By l.. c. MARTIN.

Washington, Feb. 21--A resolution
requesting President Wilson not to
discuss the league of nations at Bos-
ton was introduced in the senate to-
day by Senator Sherman, Republican,
Illinois.
The resolution sets forth that ut is
the belief of the senate that public
discussion by the president of the
draft of the league of nations consti-
tuition before consulting the foreign
relations committees of the house and
senate and communicating to them all
material facts in his possession. is un-
wise. undiplomatic and calculated to
promote discord and misunderstanding
between the treaty making powers"
n SENATE HAS ROLE.
The president "is requested not to
discuss the treaty until he has talked
to the committee and to congress"
The preamble of the measure
says tho senate is as much part
of tho treaty-making power as
the president and that it so far
has not been taken into his con-
fidence respecting the league.
Sherman intends to speak on his
resolution later. 1t was generally re-
garded in the senate as retalition fol-
the presidents request that congress
refrain from discussing the league un.

GERMAN MILITARY

New Armistice Terms Blast
Boches' Hopes Of Revived
War Powers; Frontier Forts
to Be Permanently Raced.
By ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Feb. 21.-Reduction of
Germany to nom military state Is
now in process of fulfillment under the
increasingly severe terms Of the arm
istice. 1t Is the realization Of this fact
which is causing despair among the
members of the German government
at Weimar and is inspiring offers from
Won Hindenburg and other army lead
ers to resign their posts. organized
military did not end in Germany with
the defeat of the Hohenzollern armies,
but it is at last fast approaching its
finish.
The disbanding of the German army,
now proceeding under the armistice
conditions, will be followed by the per-
manent dismanteling of the frontier
fortifications facing France and Bel
gium and by the limitation of output
by Germany's war munitions factories.
CURB ON WAR POWER.
For many years to come the present
indications are that Germany will be
unable to equip larger force for war
than a quarter of a million men.
This means that If the Germans
were to start another conflict, the war

ried into German territory and fought
| there to a finish. Refusal to permit
Germany to adopt conseription, as now
contemplated by the peace conference,
will be the final blow against the per-
petuation of the military spirit in the
new German republic. With all of
Germanys armaments thus under the
general supervision of the allies, and
longing for revenge which may be fos-
tered in Berlin, will be unable to
count upon the sword as an instru-
ment of accomplishment.
MAILED FIST UNcLENCHED.
The final act, therefore, in the over
throw of the Hohenzollern theory of
the mailed fist is now engaging the at
tention Of the allies at Paris. The
binding of the demon Of militarism is
in the hands of the allies most ac-
complished experts. The fact that the
Germans are becoming increasingly
helpless as the process continues is
making itself apparent. Great op-
timism concerning the future Is be-
ginning to disperse the black cloud
lately conjured upon by the pessimists
