LIMIT FOR ACTIVITIES

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, June 24-William
3. Colyer, chairman of the federal
trade commission today advocated
passage by congress Of Senator Ken
yon's bill for control of the packers.
Colver declared the measure ofrers
"a sane and reasonable remedy" ana
strikes straight at one OF the ma
TONS most serious problems
Colver agrees with Kenyon that the
ill would force into moral bank
ruptcy" any packer who violated lts
provisions. The measure provides
that any packer who breaks the law
may not only have his license sus-
pended, but shall be put in the hands
Of a receiver, under control OF led
eral courts.
The proposal to limit the packers
to their own business will be wei
coined alike by the consuming public
and established and legitimate mer-
chants who see their field being In
yaded" said Colyer.
Kenyon today pointed cut that his
bill has the most detailed provisions
ever presented to congress for pitt
less publicity" regarding the packing
industry. Every detail Of the ousf-
ness, under the bill. is to be open to
govrnment agents and heavy penalties
are imposed for false or evasive re-
turns, or for attempting to conceal the
facts.
Senator Gronna, chairman of the
senate agricultural committee, today
promised that the committee will
Eegin work at once on the Kenyon and
Kendrick bills. Hendricks bill is
much like Kenyon's.

WASHINGTON, June 24-President
Wilson's forthcoming tour of the
country will be determined largely by
final reports on senate opposition to
the league of nations.
He would prefer to limit the trip to
two weeks or so, but may be forced
to extend this materially. The presf-
dent has been advised the senate sit
uation to date on the treaty is about
as follows:
There are insufficient votes to
separate the treaty proper and the
league covenant (sought by the Knox
resolution).
2.--There are insufficient votes to
pass the Fall resolution providing for
immediate ending of the war (sought
by F>alD.
. 3.-There appears to be no chance
OF clear majority of the senate vot-
ing on any amendment or provision
that would jeopardize the treaty or
the league.
4.-There does not appear to be the
necessary two-thirds majority now In
favor Of ratifying the treaty and
league as 1t stands.
Hence the president is expected to
attempt to put the forthcoming battle
or clear cut lines-namely, will you
take the present treaty with the
league covenant, or will you reject this
treaty, either by voting against 1t or
talking it to death while the other
allies approve it, thus forcing Amer.

peace with Germany, or continued

Correspondent
WASHINGTON. JunA 24.-"Immedi-
ate peace" today was the slogan of
league of nations opponents in the
senate. While last week they de-
manded separation of the treaty
proper and the league. they now de-
mand that congress declare peace for
the United States and let business
reap its benefit.
The peace resolutions introduced
yesterday by Senators Fall, New Mexi-
CO, and Edge, New Jersey, were before
the foreign relations committee which
may take them up today or Wednes-
day. The republican proposal will be
emphatically opposed by administra-
ton forces, democrats said today.
They regard the Fall and Edge resolu-
lions as simply further evidences. they
said, Of partisan efforts to harrass
President Wilson.
Republicans asserted today that the
Fall resolution is within the right OF
congress to pass, since the power that
declared war has the right to end it.
They predicted that unless it passes.
the enjoyment of the commercial bene-
fits of peace by American business
men will be considerably delayed.
Republicans denied the democratic
charge that Falls measure is intended
to provide an excuse for delaying rati-
fication Of the Paris treaty and the
league covenant.

Among. the many crimes with which the Germans are charged is that of the destruction of religious monuments and everywhere in the devastated dis tricts are graves which have been vio lated and vaults which have been burst open. One of the cemeteries which has suffered the greatest damage lies high on a hill above a little town not very far from Paris. Here the work of destruction was carried out by aer- ial torpedoes, five of which were fired. Not one missed it's mark. Monument al crosses are heaps of twisted iron and broken stone, and at the points where the torpedoes exploded nothing remains but deep holes.
