said he was making a report to the
country. The American people have
waited in vain for any report of Mr..
Wilson's proceedings at Paris. In
stead of facts they have had plati-
tudes and glittering generalities.
They have been given no explana-
ton for the surrender of the prin-
ciples so often eloquently announced
by Mr.. Wilson, no reason for the
abandonment of Americanism and
the easy triumph of European and
Asatic diplomacy.
Significant Remarks.
"In this city of Sioux Falls Mr..
Wilson INDUCED in one or two sig
nificant remarks, pregnant with
warning to our people. Your
choice he said, is between the
league of nations and Germanism,'
and he endeavored by yelled threat
to convey that his opponents were
tainted with pro-Germanism. 1t is
a bad and lost cause which in its ex-
tremity resorts to epithets and vitu-
peration.
And the choice is not between
the league of nations and German
ism. The choice is between the
league of nations and Americanism.
The choice is between Mr.. Wilson's
internationalism, which subordinates
and subjects American to European
and Asiatic power, and American
ism.
Mr.. Wilson asserted to you that
the terms of the peace laid down
forever the principle that no terri
tory ever should be governed ex-
cept as the people who lived there
wanted it governed. The millions OF
subject peoples OF the earth make
the issue with Mr. Wilson and his
own words to DR.. Williams, the
American expert, that the treaty Of
peace was founded upon the secret
treaties, some of which. he said. were
unconscionable, make his statement
grotesque.

means to delay consideration, but
that there would be due considera-

There was no objection in the end,
and the amendment was temporal
lily passed over.
After the clerk had started into
the next article Senator Lodge
stopped the reading with motion
to adjourn until Friday. Senator
Reed, democrat. Missouri, gave no.
tice today that he would discuss the
treaty then, and while formal read
ing may continue this week, Senator
Lodge said he had promised men,
bers, including two democratic SEN
ators, that there would be no vote
until next week.
Full Days Run.
All things considered, the treaty
had virtually full days run, start
ing off with a three hour address by
Senator Sherman. republican, Hi
nois. 1t was evident that the SEN
ate was in fighting frame of mind,
as Senator Sherman was interrupt
ed today by Senator Hitchcock and
Senator>Walsh, democrat, Colorado,
and answered by Senator Mcclellan,
democrat, Tennessee.
After Senator Mcclellan had de-
iivered a spirited defense of the
treaty, Senator Lodge called atten
ton to the presidents statement in
an address last night at Portland,
Ore, that the senator in 1915. ia
vored the league OF nations, and
quoted from more than score of
speeches by the president to show,
he said. inconsistencies on the lat
ter's part Change of mind had

would remain so. provided it did not
become involved in foreign entan-
clements, was vigorously applauded

advices at Galveston said six men
were drowned at Port Arkansas and
that all the women and children
there had been saved Telegraphic
advices received by The Associated
Press direct from Port Lavaca, which
place had been isolated since Sunday,
reported no loss of life there or at
Seadrift and Port 'O'Connor, but
said the property damage at Port
Lavaca would be about 100000,
mainly on the bay front and to ship

Relief for Sufferers.
State machinery for relief of
storm sufferers was completed late
Tuesday by Governor Hobby, who
ordered units of the Texas National
Guard to relieve federal troops at
Corpus Christi as quickly as trans
portation could be arranged. The
governor issued a proclamation urg-
ing prompt contributions of money
and supplies to the relief fund.
Three relief trains reached Corpus
Christi Tuesday with food, bedding,
clothing and medical supplies and
other trains were enroute. Two re-
lief trains were reported stalled by
washouts at Alice, Tex.
Airplanes to Assist.
Seven scout airplaDes were or
dered from Kelly field, San Antonio,
to go to Corpus Christi and find
suitable landing fields for larger
planes which may be used to trans
port supplies from stalled trains into
the city. The scouting planes also
were under instructions to endeavor
to get news from Port Arkansas and
Rockport.
Latest estimates placed the prop
erty loss in Corpus Christi at $l0,-
100000 and meager advices indicated
the damage at Port Arkansas would
be very heavy. Destruction in the
lower part of the business section
and along the north beach at Corpus
Christi was reported "indescrib-
able" Rescue workers faced ire
mendous task of clearing the debris
blocked streets and a steady rain
which set in at noon Tuesday turned
the rapidly drying streets into a
slush of mud.
The rain also added much to the

Expected Something Startling.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES
RE- NSTATEMENT
ISASKEDBY
Activities in Labor Circles
Blamed for Dismissal
of Omahan.

Efforts are being made BY the
Omaha PostoMce Clerks union No.
1874, of the National Federation of
Postal Employees, to have A. c.
Smead. who was removed from the
Omaha postoffice. reinstated. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Smeads removal
was caused by his recent activities
in Omaha labor controversies.
During the recent teamsters strike
Mr.. Smead is said to have been a
member of the committee which
presented the transfers troubles to
Mayor Smith. The union now de-
clares that these actions led to the
dismissal of Mr.. Smead.
w. M. Coble, inspector of the
Postotfice department, refused to
discuss the case. Postmaster Fan
ming says that reports concerning
Mr.. Smead were investigated. The
report of the case was sent to the
postmaster general with the recon-
mendation that Mr. Smead be re-
moved from service.
The case of Mr.. Smead has been
taken up by Secretary Morrison of
the American Federation 81 Labor
with the first assistant postmaster
general The Omaha postofice
union passed a resolution Sunday
afternoon condemning the Postof-
fee department for the removal of
Mr. Smead.
