cial policies unless We have a mem

commission.
These are some, but by No
means all of the valuable conces-
siOns which the United States
would inevitably sacrifice by fail
ing to ratify the treaty. This fail
ure would be just as complete if
we adopt an amendment to it as if
we rejected the treaty absolutely.
In either event, we would find our
selves at the end of the war, it is
true, but without any peace or
terms of peace with Germany. We
would have been abandoned by our
Disguised associates and we would
be reduced to the necessity of
seeking negotiated peace with an
angry Germany on such terms as
she would be willing to accord.
I'VE are, therefore, without any
qualification, against amendments.
I'VE are aware that the claim
has been set up that one of the
proposed amendments which re-
lates only to the League of Nations
does not require the assent of Ger
many. This is based on the fact
that Germany is not yet member
of the League of Nations and may
not be for several years. The an
swer is, however, that the league
covenant is a part of the treaty,
and the league, which is mentioned
in many places in the treaty, has
much to do with German affairs,
even though Germany is not a
member. Germany, in agreeing to
the treaty, has assented to the pro-
visions of the covenant, and one
of the published terms is that it
can only be amended by the action
of the league, which has not yet
started, ratified by all the members
of the council, which has not yet
organized, as well as by a major
bly,. 1t is obvious, therefore, if it
is to be amended in any other way,
Germany's assent will be just as
necessary as to any other article
Of the treaty.
Authorship Shown.
"The reservations proposed by
the majority of this committee are
of such a character as to at once
betray their authorship. They are
the work of senators organized for
the purpose of destroying the
league and if possible defeating
this treaty. Their phraseology is
such as to make this purpose plain
They are in no sense interpretative
reservations to be used to make
clear language in the treaty that
might be considered doubtful, but
they are so framed as to receive
the support of senators who desire
the defeat of the treaty.
While masQuerading in the
guise of reservations, they are in
fact alterations of the treaty
They have all the vices of amend
ments and the additional vice of
pretending to be what they are not.
Presented as parts of the resolu-
ton to ratify the treaty, they
would, in fact, if adopted, result in
its defeat. All Of them apply to
the League of Nations section Of
the treaty. Those who oppose the
League of Nations realize that it
is invincible on square fight and
they hope to destroy it by this in
direction. The League of Nations
has stood the test of worldwide
criticism and unlimited attack. 1t
stands today as the only hope for
world peace.
After all the assaults of many
its purposes and provisions
stand out clearly defined. unaffect-

Il am most grateful to the peo-
pie of the district for the conf
dence they have reposed in me,
and the splendid support which
they have given me at the pri-
maries on yesterday. This takes
in all the counties and everybody.
81 trust that they will continue
to take the same Interest," in, and
give their full support to both of
the Republican candidates at the
election.
81 cannot state my position bet
ter than to repeat the pledge that
I made before the primaries, to the
effect that, if elected, / will do my
utmost to see that there is drafted
and submitted to the people, a new
constitution which will meet the
needs of all the people of the
state of Illinois and which the peo-
pie can safely ratify."

FALSE ALARM SENT
BY YOUNG VANDALS

A false alarm from firm alarm
box 81, on the corner of Twenty
second street and Sixteenth ave-
nue., was answered by the fire de-
partment last night The box had
been broken Unto and the switch
pulled, presumably by some young
boys who thought it a joke. Chief
August Schmidt fails to see the
funny side of this and similar hap
penings of late and announces
that any boys discovered taking
part in this amusement will be
dealt with in the courts. There
is a good deal of danger involved
by removing the fire apparatus
from its base need1essly, while the
forced trips made are hard on both
men and apparatus. Particularly
is the waste of tires noted

fort to establish peace but they
suggest nothing in its place.
They denounce the public de-
mand for energetic action as
'clamor' They rail at the presi-
dent who, with the representatives
of many other nations, has devoted
months of hard work to a great
constructive effort to settle the
terms and reorganize the world
for peace. Finally, unable to stem
the tide of public demand for the
League of Nations, they resort to

ed by criticism and unyielding to
attack.
The League of Nations proposes
TO organize the nations of the world
for peace, whereas they have al
ways heretofore been organized for
war. 1t proposes 20 establish the
rule of international justice in
place of force. 1t proposes to make
war of conquest impossible by
uniting all nations against the Of
fender.
1T is the first international ar
rangement ever made by which
small and weak nations are given
the organized strength of the world
for Profession.
1t is a covenant between many
nations by which each agrees not
to do certain things which in the
past have produced wars and TO do
many things which have been
found to preserve the peace.
1T is a working plan for the
gradual reduction of armament by
all members simultaneously in
proper proportion and by agree
ment.
1T sets up arbitration as a
friendly method of adjusting dis
putes and inquiry when arbitra-
ton is not agreed to. In both cases
it provides a cooling Off period OF
nine months, during which the diff
ferences Will be adjusted.

tegrity and political independence
of each member and leaves to each

VIII Reduce Taxes.
at will save the world from wars
and preparations for war. 1t will
reduce armies and navies and
taxes.
1t will help to remove the dis
content with governments existant
by making government benehcient
and deVoting its revenues to con-
structive rather than to destructive
purposes.
at is the only plan proposed to
redeem the world from war, pesti =
lence and famine. The only one
by which a stricken world can be
redeemed from the disasters of the
late war and the dangers of i'm
pending international chaos. Those
who daily and delay as they seek
with microscopes to find some
petty flaw in its structure, have
nothing themselves to propose.
They have appealed to every
prejudice and resorted to every
desperate method of attack to de-
stroy this great international eff

so-caIled reservations in the hope
that they can destroy by indirec-
ton what they have found unas-
sailable by direct attack.
I'VE renew our recommendation
that the work of the peace confer
ence be confirmed, the will Of the
people fulfilled, and the peace OF
the world advanced by the ratihca-
ton of this treaty-'the best hope
of the world'-even if like all hui
man instrumentalities it be not di-
vinely perfect in every detail"

FIRE CAUSES LOSS
$1,000 TO STOCKS
PAINT COMPANY
(MoIine Special Service.)

Fire caused damage of $1,000 to
paint, oils and stock of the Moline
Paint Manufacturing company,
Sixteenth street and First avenue,
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The blaze resulted when
fumes from oil being pumped into
a container close to the roof of
the building became ignited. About
one thousand gallons of paint oil,
one hundred gallons of linseeed
oil and other stocks were de-
stroyed. Damage to the building
was comparatively small, the fire
burning along the roof, causing
windows and sky-light to break
Losses are covered by insurance.

Captain Oscar E. Carlstrom of
Aledo and Cyrus z. Dietz Of Moline
were yesterday nominated as can
dfdates on the Republican ticket
at the election Nov. of two del
egates from the Thirty-third sena-
torial district to the state consti-
tutionaI convention.
William R. Moore, unopposed in
yesterday primaries, will be the
Democratic candidate Lewis X.
Englund, Moline, and Bert Strayer,
Rock Island, were nominated on
the Socialist ticket.
In the field of six Republican
candidates, Captain CarlstrOm was
high man, carrying Mercer county
by a comfortable margin and run
ming close to the leading Rock Is
land county candidates, c. J. Searle
and Mr. Dietz, in this county.
The real contest developed for
second place. DietZ and Searle run
ming close throughout the district.
Dietz's big vote in the city of Mo-
line, however, was sufficient to
give him a lead of 213 over Mr.
Searle. Mayor Charles A. Beers
of Aledo was fourth man in the
race. He carried Henderson coun-
u by 9 votes over Carlstrom, but
finished only third in Mercer coun-
ty, CarlstrOm winning and Searle
taking second place.
SearIe Carries Rock Island.
Mr.. Searle won in the city OF
Rock Island, the vote being Searle,
5O7; Dietz, 40S; Carlstrom, 369.
He also carried the majority OF the
country districts in the county by
a fair margin, losing only Hamp-
ton. Port Byron, Drury and South
Moline townships.
Dietz made a clean sweep in the
city of Moline and South Moline,
winning over Carlstrom, second
man in the city, by 307 votes. His
vote in Moline was sufficient TO
carry him over in the county,
which he won by 465 votes. Carl
strom beat Searle by 5 votes for
second place in the county.
Vote is Light.
The vote throughout the district
Yesterday was unusually light. As
The interest was confined to the
fight for the Republican nomina-
ton, the Democratic ballots were
little used, the party's candidate,
William r. Moore, receiving only
scattering votes in the precincts.
In Henderson county the vote was
less than one-fifth of normal, aud
the proportion was only slightly
less in the other counties. Greater
interest was manifest in Moline
than in this city, the Moline voters
backing the local candidate solid
w. In Rock Island the voting vas
scattered more generally among
the field, with less concentration
behind the Rock island candidates.

Keep Order at Any Cost.
Boston, Sept. 1.-THE third day
of the police strike opened with
a casualty list of three persons
killed and nearly a score, incIud-
ing four women, injured as a re-
suit of the activities of state troops
in policing the city last night. The
military forces. 5000 in number,
were under orders to restore law
full conditions at any cost.
Success in quelling the 'rioting
and suppressing the looting of the
previous night hours marked their
efforts to a large degree, although
in some sections, the mobs were
not controlled and there were sew
eral serious rots. Most OF the
casualties were here. Windows
were broken in many places but in
only a few was there looting,
troops and the skeleton police
force of regulars and volunteers
being quick to reach the scene of
the disturbances.
