Joint I)EbAI[.RSA AGREE
IN some RESPECTSO ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
DR.. Lowell Admitted Necessity OF Clarifcation And
Amendment And Senator Lodge Said He Favored
League, But Not In Its Present Form.---Terms OBJ
jectiOns In What He Calls Five Constructive Crit
icisms"

Boston, Mass, March 2o-Two Amer
lean gentlemen, United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and DIR. A. Law
renee Lowell, president Of Harvard Uni
versity, met here last night in a debate
on the most momentous question be-
fore the world the league of nations
The decision as to the merits of the
arguments today lies with the American
people. There was no official Judge, no
referee.
In some respects Senator Lodge and
Dr. Lowell were agreed. The latter
argued in favor OF the principles Ut tao
covenant, admitting the necessity Of
some Qualification and amendment. sen,
ator Lodge objected TO the draft in It's
present for m,but declared himself in
ravor Of league of nations.
Calls " Loosely Drawn.
Senator Lodge criticized the present
draft vs loosely drawn anu uluueiy
Morded instrument. Dir. Lowell admit
ted that there was much of 1t capable
CT misunderstanding and which had
been misinterprcted. Admitting this
and the need for several changes and
some amendments, DIR. Lowell strongly
urged the adoption of the underlying
principles Of the draft of the league
now before the world.
DR. Lowell declared the draft is the
first experimental in open diplomacy
and was submitted as such in the form
Of an experiment. He snid he was sure
that there wasno intention OF adopting
the covenant as 1t now stands; that in
their present state the clauses are tenta-
tive only and designed to allow the
people Of the world to consider the ques-
ton for themselves.
Gets Chorus of Nos"
Senator Lodge asked the mothers, tho
sisters and the sweethearts of America
if thcy are willing to guarantee the po-
litical independence and territorial in
tcgrity of every nation on earth to tho
extent of sending their loved ones to
far corners Of the world TO ma,nvaiu
those principles. For a few moments
there was silence; then some one shout
ed HYes,, which was followed by an
overwhelming "nol noln from men and
women alike. =
Senator Lodge summed up his opposi-
tion to the draft of the covenant in
what he termed "five constructive cri-
ticisms, which were in effect:
First--The instrument should be re-
drafted. 1t should mention what votc
is necessary to pass on every subject
contained in the covenant and worded
so that al NAV understand il.
Socond--Ambiguou phrases should
be eliminated.
Third should be made more nciinite
by q larger reservation Of the Monroe
doctrine.
Fourth--Internstional questions Of
immigration should Do excluded.
Fifth--Leagne should be definite as
to when and under what conditions il
can be ahrogated.

Many Soldiers We're
Disabled In Camps

Washington, March 2O.--Claims pre-
scntcd to the War Risk Insurance bu
rcap by disabled soldiers show that only
a small portion of them were disabled
in battle as compared with those re-
mining in camp.
Of the first 6396 claims sent into the
bureau only one and three-tenths per
cent-S3 men-received their disabili.
ties in battle, while $50 per cent were
disabled in camp, either in this country
III overseas.
This percentage will, Of course, be
greatly altered as the men, returning
from France, turn in their claims, yet
officials Of the bureau predict that the
ma iority of claims win come from men
disabled while in training As the sol
dier becomes more thoroughly trained
in the methods of warfare and camp life
the danger of being disabled is lessened,
it was pointed out.

WEALTHY SPORTSMAN
Goes AFTER BIG FIGHT
May Offer Quarter OF Million
To Get Bout Staged All
Pocatalo.

Pocatello, Idaho, March 20.-Robb
Brady, wealthy sportsman, returned
from Salt Lake today, announcing that
Tex Rickard has consented to personal
ly discuss with Brady the lattcr's cam
paign to have the Willard Dempsey
| fight staged here July 4 as 20-round
event.
Rickard telegrapher Brady that he
will see him in New York. Brady
leaves for the east within ten days.
The local man expects to take with him
personal assurances from the mayor of
Pocatello and the governor of Idaho
that they will not interfere with the
fight.
The last census rated Pocatello at
$4,000 population.
But Pocatello has opened the bidding
at $l60,000 and has posted $4,000 of
this sum with Charles Sumner Of the
Pocatello Tribune.
If the New York territory insists on
trying to compete with Pocatello for the
fight, this city may raise the ante to
quarter million, j. Robb Brady told
the United Press today.
Want 20 Rounds.
In fact, Pocatello-and Brady speaks
for this city-insists that the fight be
held here where 20 rounds are possible,
and has gone so far as to Tell Riekard
as much over long distance telephone.
Brady, who is a son of former United
States Senator Brady, is rated as q
near millionaire, back by 0. P. CARRIER,
another public spirited citizen, is now
engaged in obtaining waivers for tho
fight from adjoining states. Utah has
enthusiastically leaped into the Poca-
tcllo band wcgon. Brady is now aftor
Montana and Oregon. He is after Cali
fornia, too.
~If Rickard wants the money, as he
says, he can't refuse our guaian.ce, =
said Brady. "There are no strings to
it, We don't have anything 20 say
about motion picture rights. We are
banking on the fact that the American
sporting public will insist that Willard
and Dempsey go the long route. A ten
round fight would be a joke. We are
going to have this fight here July A."
Brady wired Rickard as follows:
"You can get larger crowd and
more money here than any place in the
world where you can stage a real

INVASION NOW FEARED
GREATLY BY GERMANS
Council OF War Has Been Call.
ed To Draw Up Plans For
Definite Campaign.

Copenhagen, March 20.-Germany il
bending every effort to res,st rne
threatened bolshevik invasion. Fl
Following weeks of military prepara
tion, council of war has been called
at Kolberg to draw up plans for the de.
fensiye campaign, q dispatch from Ber
lin reported today. War Minister Noske
and General Won Winterfeld have gone
to that city to confer with Field Mar.
shal Won Hindenburg, who is personally
directing defense preparations on the
eastern frontier.
The German government, according
to adyices received here, fears sM at.
tempted bolsheyik invasion will be the
signal for general uprising of the
radical elements in Germany, many of
whose leaders have openely boasted on
an alliance with the Russian soviets. Al
though the Spartacans are known to be
planning another uprising, President
Ebert is said to consider the Russian
menace more Imminent and dangerous
than the internal dangers.
In support of their announcement
that general offensive would begin ON
all fronts as soon as the weather per-
mitted, the bolshevik forces are ad.
yancing in practically every seetvr save
the archangel and Murmansk regions,
where winter conditions still prevail.
The latest bolshevik success has been
on the Black sea front, where anti
bolshevik forces are reported to have
evacuated Odessa in the face Of an I'D
vancing soviet force of overwhelming
proportions. A Berlin dispatch today
reported that another large bolshevik
army is moving on Vinnetza, an import.

CHAMBERLAIN CHARGES
BAKER WITH FENCING
Declares He Should Frankly
Admit Evils OF Court-Mar-
tial System.
L. 9. Martin.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent }
Washington, March 90 Senator
Chamberlain, chairman Of the senate
military affairs committee, today sent
Secretary of War Baker letter charg.
ing that Baker is fencing instead Of
frankly admitting the evils of the court,
martial system and cooperating with
congress to remedy these evils.
Chambcrlain's s letter was scnr III re.
ply to q telegram received yesterday
from Baker. Bakers telegram was an
answer to chamberlain request that
Baker make public a statement by Lieu
tenant Colonel Ansell, former acting
Judge advocate general. Ansell's state
ment was his reply TO a defense OF the
court-martial system issue, by General
Crowder and Secretary Baker nearly
two weeks ago.
Refused to Remedy Evil.
In his telegram Baker said:
More than year ago ! asked the
military committees Of both houses fol
legislation to correct the evils in the
present court-martial system. shall
renew the request when congress re-
assemblies. There would seem to be
therefore, no controversy on the merits
Of the subject. Have not yet seen Gen.
eral Ansell's letter and cannot imagine
any reason why my consideration Of II
on my return will not be time enough.
Chamberlain Replies.
In reply to this, Chamberlain said:
"It is painful to me to find you
fencing upon question which means
so much TO the tens Of thousands Of en-
listed men who have suffered injustics
under the present system Your present
recognition Of existing evils Of the
court-martial system is strangely IRE
concilable with your published state
mcnt, no more remote than March H.
In that statement Of warm approval Of
the existing system, You seemed blind
TO any deficiency.
Whether you see IL or not, the
American people sec and have the cvi
dcnce that this system is bad. You
have taken terrible sand upon q sub
ieet which lies close to good American
hcarthstones. The American people will
not be deceived by self lfserying, mis!ead
ing Representatives and statistics. Toe
many American families have made q
sacrifice Of their sons upon the altar Of
organized injustice.

says:
The conference of the steel manufac.

market for securities was relatively
quiet and hesitant until late, when there
YVES a considerable selling movement.
Prices held well until then, but there
was little initiative on either the buy.
