WILSON HOST AT
LEAGUE FEAST
President Tells Peace Plans to
congressman and Senators
at White House.
MONROE DOCTRINE IS SAFE
Declares That Unless U. S. Ratifies
League of Nations Grave Inter-
national Complications
Will Develop.

Washington, Feb. 81. - President
Wilson expressed the conviction to
members of the foreign affairs commit
tees of congress that unless the United
States ratifies the proposed league of
nations to enforce peace the world
will be filed with despair and grave
international complications will devel-
op at an early date.
Following large dinner party given
at the White House for the committee
members, both senate and house, the
president submitted himself to a two
hour cross examination of the provi-
stone of the leagues constitution.
In the course of answering hun
dreds of questions put to him in that
time the president told the senators
and representatives
That it is contemplated the United
States shall be the mandatory guardian
Of the new nation of Armenia.
That the league plan preserves the
Monroe doctrine and extends it to the
whole world as a result of which the
principle will be defended not by the
United States alone but by the league
of nations.
That internal affairs such as the
regulation of immigration and exclu-
sion of foreigners will not be subject
to arbitration or other action by the
league.
That amendment Of the league con-
stitution as drafted at Paris would be
so difficult as to be out of the ques-
ton.
That the United States would be at
liberty to withdraw from the league
at any time.
That any limitation of the size Of
the American army and navy decree1
by the league would not be binding
upon the United States.
Germany, the president stated,
would not be given admission to the
league until she had performed sat
ton, the duration of which would be
decided by the executive council of
the league.
Although there were numbered
among the presidents guests many op'
ponents of the league plan in the pre-
else shape it has been submitted by
Mr.. Wilson, the utmost good humor
prevailed throughout the conference,
The president was the life of the
party at the dinner, regaling his
guests with anecdotes of his sojour1
abroad.
Washington, Feb. 27.-President
Wilson signed the s6,Oo0,OoO.O0O wal
revenue bill on Monday. This measure

25 years to pay off the war debt, &C

WILSON WINS
PASSAGE OF The
VICTORY LOAN
Republican Filibuster Fails, Sem
ate Voting Bill at Six in
the Morning.
Big VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT
Senators La Toilette and Sherman
Led the Opposition, but Talked
Themselves Out-SoIons Rout-
ed Out of Bed to Vote.

Washington, March 3.-In the early
hours Sunday morning the Republican
f.ibuster in the senate against the
Victory loan bill collapsed like bub-
BILE blown by the wind, and the bill
was passed without roll call. The
bill authorized the secretary of the
treasury to issue $T,0CO,000,O00 in
bonds and. certificates and to fix the
rate of interest on the same.
The passage of the bill by the SEN
ate and the defeat of the filibuster is
a distinct victory for President VIII
son in that he will not be forced to call
the Sixty-sixth congress III extra ses-
sion until after his return from Eu-
rope. Secretary Glass had informed
administration senators that he would
be unable to float the Victory loan if
the bill were not passed before April 1.
G. o. p. Fears Political Results.
Republicans who undertook fill
buster against the bill realized that
if they could bring about the defeat
of the measure they might compel
the president to call congress in ses-
sion this month. The president does
not appear to desire that the Repub-
lican congress be in session to talk
about what he is doing while he is
in Europe.
So tie president has had his way,
not % much on account of the sup
port of his own party as by the creepy
fear which came over the Republicans
as they began to realize what defeat
of the Victory loan bill would mean
to their party. The leaders among the
Republican senators, those with vi
sion broad enough to see what enormi-
ties would be charged to them if the
bond bill failed, counseled the little
filibustering group to 'lay off" and al
low the bill to pass.
La Toilette and Sherman Fail.
In the minds of such senators as
Knox of Pennsylvania, Johnson OF
| California, Lodge of Massachusetts,
Wadsworth of New York and Freling-
huysen of New Jersey the success OF
the party in the next year or so is OF
fax greater Importance than the pleas
ure that might be derived from forcing
| the president into an immediate cal
| for the extra session. The refusal Of
such senators to support the recall
| citrants in their desire for an organ
lied filibuster caused the filibuster tt
blow up.
Senators La Toilette of Wisconsin
and Sherman of Illinois tried to carr!
on filibuster all by themselves, bu
after talking themselves out and find
ing no one willing to assist them the!
gave up and allowed the bill to pass.
Senators Routed From Bed.
1t was at 6:1S that the final vote OF
the bill was taken. At the time tn,
vote was ordered there were only nin'
senators in the chamber, seven Repub
licans and two Democrats.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania de
manded the presence of a quorum
Soon deputies of the sergeant-at-arm
office were scurrying about the cit.
in taXis routing tired senators out o

they succeeded in rounding up enougl
to make a quorum.
