PRESIDENT TO "GO AFTER"
 SENATOR LODGE

Washington. February 17.-(Special) Predictions that the Senate will defeat the constitution of the league of na- tions are based without appreciation of the Presidents determination 'to put it over' according to statements of those close to and constantly informed by the administration.
 The President returns with hir back to the wall prepared to go his full length in behalf of his "child."
 His first, move was to request a post ponement of debate until he could en- certain and confer with the members of foreign relations committee. His next was to announce his intended arrival at Boston rather than New York, and his plan to make an address there February 25 Republicans declare he is preparing either to "go after'' Senator Lodge in his home town, or checkmate his bitter est opponent by winning to the league of nations the senator's constituents As Massachusetts last fall elected for the first time in history a democratic senator, it is pointed out that the Presi- dent is playing a card' in beginning his campaign in Lodge territory. The Massachusetts senator declares that he has not yet determined whether to honor the Presidents request to postpone de- bate. He opines that if the President so requests, he also should keep quiet on the subject.
 President Wilson is determined to "put
 it over," it is said. Should the Senate
 prove obdurate, he will carry out en-
 bryonic plans to appeal to the people
 direct in series of addresses to be de-
 livered throughout the nation.

DELEGATION AGAINST
 GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Washington, February 17.-(SpeciaL) Engrossed copies of the resolution against government ownership passed by narrow margin by the legislature of Alabama, have reached members Of dressed.
 The delegation, from a standpoint of percentage, will record itself more strongly against government owner ship than did the legislature which called the delegation to task. No member of the delegation has de- clared himself in favor of any phase of government ownership. Many have spoken strongly against it Senator Bankhead said today:
 'I am opposed to government owner ship in all it's phases. I am anxious to vote against Postmaster General Burleson's bill to put the government permanently in charge of telegraph and telephone companies. I will vote against the administration bill which would open the way for government ownership of the railroads" He was then asked if he thought private directors could improve over government ownership of postoffices. He declared that he believed that busi- ness men could operate the postal sys- tenn with less friction and more ex- petition and with less expense than the government and that the service under changed conditions would be improved.
 So the memorial of the Alabama leg islation was received.

Little Stories of the
 DayFro1, Washington
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Engelken was involved. The Secretary of War reported that the status of the man, as far as his departmental records proved, was first rate. The Secretary of the Treasury, then W. G. McAdoo, made a similar report. It was later developed that MT. McAdoo, informing the President of von Engel- ken's plight, suggested that the ex- ecutive write a letter declaring that the administration was satisfied with his Americanism-his loyalty.
 And then the storm broke. Cover nor Manning of South Carolina and ex- Senator Benet of that state appeared before the judiciary committee. They urged the committee not to consider the statements of MT Baker or Mir McAdoo, but to look into the files of the secret service. They added that in those files were affidavits from prominent people, whom they knew and for whom they would vouch, that von Engleken was offensive to the women soliciting Red Cross contribu- tions. that he made a bet that the first Liberty Loan would not be sub scribed, that he justified the sinking of the Lusitania and the execution of Miss Cavel1 and that he explained his rejection of an offer of a commission in the German army because he could better serve Germany while a native of and resident in this country.
 The judiciary committee has not de- cided what it shall do. On one hand is the administration, apparently, and on the other men of such prominence as the governor of and ex-senator from a sovereign state who point in verification of what they charge to the files of the secret service of the adminiStra tion

ARMY APPROPRIATION
 BILL MAY FAIL

Washington, February 17.-(SpeciaL) ) The administrations effort to appropriate for an army of half a million men will fail should some member of the House raise the point of order that that sec ton is new legislation involved in an appropriation bill
 The Age-Herald has quoted Represent ative Bankhead as expressing belief that the section would go out on a point of order. It is probable that Mir Bankhead will make the point unless some other member does so. In that event the point would be sustained.
 Chairman Dent, leading the fight for the bill, stated this afternoon that if the point is made he will be compelled to concede that it is we'll taken. Should the section go out, the size of the per manent military establishment would be regulated by legislation prevailing prior to the recent emergency. It would be limited to 175,000

Washington, February 17.-(SpeciaL) The judiciary committed of the Senate, considering German propaganda in the United States, has most complex problem before it.
 J. H. F. von Engelken, now citi- zen of Palatka, Fla. was at one time an officer in the German army. He came to America and made good as a man of affairs. When the farm loan board was organized he rendered great service in perfecting the legislation necessary to rendering aid to the farmers, and when he applied for sec retary of the board, he was given great consideration.
 As an attache of the board, incident ally, he visited Birmingham, along with the members of the board, about two years ago.
 When the post of secretary was given to another, von Engelken was made director of the mint. Later he was made president of the farm loan bank located at Columbia, S. c. When the war involved the United States, he was either removed or resigned, which 1t is not made clear. At any rate, his connection was broken.
 When the Judiciary committee in- quired into German propaganda von
