WILSON FAILS TO
MEET REAL ISSUE"
Penrose Says Phrases Sup.
plant Common Sense.

PHILADELPHIA, July ia declaration
BY the United States Government that It
stands ready to Join other civilized ma
lions in suppressing any future attempt
70 dominate the world by military force
would be as effective peace safeguard
as this country Joining the proposed
League OF Nations.
This opinion was expressed to-day by
Senator Penrose IN commenting on the
address made by President Wilson yes
terday. He declared the reading OK II
impressed him that Mr.. Wilson did not
meet the real issues involved.
Senator Penrose conferred on party af-
fairs to-day with VIII II. Hays, chair
man OF the Republican National Commit
tee. Mr.. Hays came here from New
York and returned after short stay.
"It would be, OF course" said Senator
Penrose, impossible TO discuss all the
phases OF the many great questions In
yolved in the brief space OF a passing
comment. can only say that the
speech does not. in my opinion. meet the
real issues involved
eve all admit what the President says
about the past and present political prob
lens in Europe. There Is nothing new
about them, because they are as old as
civilization. This situation does not pre-
sant an argument as to why the United
states OF America should become In
VOWED In them hereafter, or should sur
render national Independence or permit
any infringement CT the Monroe Doctrine
or our right to pass immigration laws.
.The trouble Is nowadays that high
sounding phrases seems to have COM
pletely supplsnted terms of common
sense."

GERMANS POSTPONE
TOBACCO MONOPOLY
Assembly Rejects Proposal to
Elect Judiciary.

WEIMAR, July flowing to the strong
opposition shown toward the projected
tobacco monopoly, the tax commission
has finally voted to postpone action
pending further Government investiga-
ton.
The National Assembly has rejected
the proposal of the Independents to es-
tablish popular courts with judges
elected by the people. The Majority So
cialists and the bourgeois parties charged
the Independents with attempting to un-
dermine the independence OF the courts
in the same manner as discipline in the
army and public administration has been
undermined.
The Assembly also voted abolition OF
the military courts OF honor but only
after desperate efforts by the Conserva-
tives and National Liberals to retain
them. They will be replaced by a central
chamber to adjudioate army disputes.

Prince, received yesterday, could not be
taken as indicative OF the Dutch atti-

larry that the Dutch reply was Just

The Northcliffe papers have taken nc
