DENIES BULLITT TALE
u. S. Peace Delegation in Favor Of
Covenant And Treaty

Covenant And Treaty
Washington, Sept. 17.-Members
of the American Peace delegation
in Paris yesterday issued a state
ment endorsing without qualification
the treaty of peace with Germany
and the league Of nations covenant.
This, they explained, was in repudi-
alton of the testimony of William
C. Bulitt before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee:
"My testimony as it appears in
the official Record is correct in ev-
cry detail" said Mr. Bullitt yester-
day, adding that the only denials
of his testimony he had seen as
coming from Philip Kerr, secretary
to Lloyd George, were of reports
printed in Paris newspapers ard
not of the official testimony.
Long reproductions from this tcs-
timony are being printed in the
London papers opposed to Lloyd
George. Bullitt's statement that the
premier sidcstepped the Prussian
crisis because he feared Lord North
cliffe and Winston Churchill had
been seized upon as showing Lloyd
George is a political opportunist.

A DOUGHBOY'S VIEW

We were chatting with an ex-dough- boy the other day and incidentally mentioned the failure of the Senate to ratify the peace treaty and have the United States take her place as one of he members of the League of Nations.
 ''Well' he said, T am not up on. that high brow diplomatic stuff, but do know one thing. When we went across to fight the Huns we felt pret- ty certain that this would be the last great war. For this reason we-and when I say we, I mean just that, for I talked with most of the boys in my company and they all had about the same idea of the thing-eXpected that when our job was done we would come back home-those of us who came through-and go back to work with some assurance that this was to be the end of this war stuff.
 Now I am not grouching about things. I got home and got job and am satisfied with things generally but I am not satisfied with the idea that because a bunch of soreheads in the Senate don't like the President. that they should gum up the peace parade. I believe that most of the boys who went across feel the same way about it and unless I miss my guess that bunch of soreheads are go- ing to hear from the ex-doughboys. We got fed I'D on war. That bunch down there in Washington don't know any thing about it If they had to get out and stop Hun bullets and breathe Hun gas instead of making gas in Washington. it's my opinion that they would be glad to ratify any kind of treaty that would promise a relief from war Exchange.
