LOOSE AT WILSON
Says BE is Acting Either
AS a Usurper or
or Dictator.
fRY Associated Press !

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The con-
stitution Of the League of Nations as
presented to the Peace conference was
pictured to the senate today by Sher-
man, Of nlinios, as "a Pandora's box
full OF evil" which would empty upon
the American people the aggregated
calamity of the world"
Senator Sherman sharply criticised
President Wilson, asking who author.
lied him to "rear above the republic
an autocratic power"
He stated that the authority was not
to be found In the Constitution OF the
United States nor is It implied from
underlined war powers, and gave it is
his opinion that the President had
been acting either as "a usurpeS or a
dicvtator."
"Shal we not ask with the drama
tist" the senator said show in the
name OF, all the gods at once, upon
what does th.c our Ceasar feed that he
has grown TO great = He adroitly man
euyered himself into the spotlight as
SAV NSAhk44A VI RG0S0 RGARGGual Will
the guardian OF mankind" Senator
Sherman continued.
"As he kept us out Of war in 1916
so viii he keep us out Of impending
war contured up to serve the issues
of 1920 and keep Us at peace forever
II We thus accept again. With him as
the drum major Of civilization eternal
peace betting the earth and brooding
like a gentle spirit Ger. a sttll and
credulous world proelaims 9 millen.
ium is here"
Like his neutrality device which
was the prelude to tlnprepared war
his peace league engages not In one
war but in all wars that infest the
earth. II Is simple hut deadly. Appa.
rently an open covenant Of peace It is
marked charter Of unceasjng war. The
voice Of Mars but the hand Of Wood.
