81 take It for granted that you will
admit that under the constitution,
the United States can not bind itself
in advance to make war without the
Fexpress authorization of congress at
the time. The present form of the
covenant specifically provides other
wise, as stated In a cablegram from
President Wilson at Paris, on May
10, 1919 addressed to his secretary
for publication, as follows:
Happily there is no mystery or
privacy about what have promised
the government here. ! have prom
ised to propose to the senate a sup
plement in which we shall agree, sub
ject to the approval Of the council
Of the league of nations, to come i'm
mediately to the assistance of France
in case of unprovoked attack by Ger
many, thus merely fastening the
action to which we should be bound
by the covenant of the league of
nations
Il take it for granted that you will
admit that the United States should
have the right to withdraw from the
league and determine for itself
whether it has fulfilled it's obligations
as provided in the covenant or not.
The present form of the
covenant gives this right to foreign
ers to decide.
THE Shantung settlement, as pro-
vided in the peace treaty, is indie
feasible and never would have been
included in the treaty if President
Wilson had not decided that it was
necessary to include it, in order to
secure Japan's signature to the treaty
Of peace. Shantung was given to
Japan as bride so admitted upon
the floor Of the senate by no less
authority than Senator Williams,
member of the foreign relations
committee and spokesman for the
president.
With these reservations made to
the treaty shall vote for it, but even
then will do so with great deal of
apprehension"
The fact is that people of the
United States want a permanent
guarantee of peace by international
covenant, but as Senator Smoot
points out in another part of his let
ter, the present proposed league of
nations covenant is "a British draft
from beginning to end"
There is but little willingness here
to go into any such arrangement
when it appears that undue advant-
age might in the future be taken of

A CHOICE ARMY
SERVICE OFFERED
Chance to Learn a Trade
and Become
Educated
OPPORTUNE TIME

Word has just recently been re-
ceived at the Pocatello army recruit
ing station that for limited time re.
cruits will be accepted for service in
France and Germany,
| Previous service men with excel
lent discharge will be given prefer
ence. They will be allowed to en-
list for one year. All other appli-
cants must enlist for three years
This is just a temporary opening,
and men wishing to see all Europe
should decide to take advantage OF
this opportunity Immediately.
In addition to choice of service
in France and Germany, applicants
may choose to serve in Siberia. In
describing army life in Siberia, it is
one of interest and activity, with
hunting privileges and sports too
numerous to mention.
The part of Siberia in which Amer
lean troops are stationed is not as
some people thing, snow bound and
frozen, the summers are mild and the
winters are no more severe than in
northern portions of the United
Stases. The duties of soldiers in Or
binary cases are light, their clothing,
food and quarters are the. best that
can be obtained, and the travel one
gets while going and returning is ex-
ceptional. Honolulu and part of
Japan may be seen enroute to
Valadivostock, while opportunity
may be obtained to visit other
countries in the far east during en-
listment.
r This is the choice service that the
army has to offer. The school sys-
tenn in the A. E. F. is much better
organized than it is in the states. A
man may 60 to any kind of school
he desires, from Kindergarten to
some of the finest universities in
Europe. Or he may learn any one
of $50 trades.
In addition to learning a trade or
completing his education, he will
have an opportunity to travel and
see the most interesting countries in
the world. Leaves of absence are
made especially generous to members
of the A. e. F., each soldier is sent
on ten days leave once every month
at government expense. The govern
ment pays railroad fare and all
travelling expenses and puts the sol
dier up at civilian hotels. The only
money needed is for Injuries and in
cidental expenses.
Leave areas include the Riviera
tthe playground of Europe) Nice and
Monte Carlo. Certain famous water
ing places in Germany, Belgium,
England and Scotland. A soldier
who serves one year in the A. E. F..
will have seen practically all of
Europe including the historic battle
fields. The same trip will cost a
civilian $4,000. Train fare and
expenses from any town in
the United States are paid by the
government. First class trains for
France, Germany and other parts of
Europe are now leaving Pocatello,
Idaho. twice daily (shortly after din
ner and supper.) The opportunity
for these trips will not last long,
therefore it is advisable to apply
early and avoid a possible rush and
confusion.
