SENATE OPENS DEBATE
Lines DraWn.f0r Rattle Over Rati-
fication of Treaty.
Pact and League Covenant to Stay
Continuously Before Body
Until Final Vote.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The Ger
man peace treaty, with its league
Of nations covenant, was called up
in the senate but plans of the
senate and individual senators
were considered as precIuding any
actual work on the pact until next
week.
Washington, Sept. 15.-Lines have
been drawn by the opposing factions,
many absent senators have returned
to Washington and all is in readiness
for the opening of the final stage in
the senate peace treaty and the
league of nations controversy.
The treaty with its league covenant,
tentative plans provide, was called up
by Chairman Lodge of the foreign re-
lations committee and will be kept
continuously before the senate in
"open executive" session until the
final vote on ratification several weeks
hence.
MeCumber Files Own Report.
Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota, who refused to join his
Republican colleagues on the foreign
relation committee in the reporting Of
amendments and who declined to ap-
prove the majority's reservation to-
Article 10 of the league covenant, will
file an individual report.
Because of the length of the docu7
ment the formal first reading" will
be dispensed with and the treaty TAX
en- up article by article. This plan
probably will bring an early trial Of
strength with the reading of Article
8 of the league covenant, in which is
defined the voting power of the various
powers in the league council and as
sembly. The foreign relations COM
mittee majority has recommended an
amendment to the article in the form
of proviso STIMULATING that the Unit
ed States shall have a vote in the as
sembly equal to the aggregate vote Of
any nation having self-governing COL
onfes and dominions, also members Of
the league.

Some folks are perturbed lest the
railroad men might be able to help Sc
lect new congress favorable to their
ideas. Whether one thinks their rail
road plan plump to American ideas. or
no, they have as much right to work
for favorable congress as the rail
road manipulators, who never hesitat-
ed in grabbing a congressman, a judge
or member of the legislature, if they
thought he would be useful to them;
and of course the farmers have the
same right. It is reasonable to suppose
that every group desires public offici-
ais through whom they can properly
present and carry through t% the IDEAS % or
fail to see anything new about it, ex-
cept possibility Of change in the
successful groups, but that, with free

The extraordinary hi h price Of land
in some parts of the United States, es-
pecially in Iowa and other Corn Belt
States is pointed to with real concern
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, especially with the return
of normal conditions. Land sales in
the mentioned district have ranged from
$500 to as high as 800 per acre, many
Of the sales of course, being specula-
tive. This territory, however, will not
be affected the same by lower level of
farm prices, as the lands in Morrison
county are capable of producing on an
investment greater than the prices be-
ing paid for them, and on a sound bus
mess basis they will gradually take a
higher price level.

His voice showed evidences of a
slight strain at the beginning Of
his Portland speech but as he
talked it improved.

Shantung has not been touched
upon by the president since he
reached the Pacific coast. 1t is one
of the principal points of opposi-

Wilson will fully explain his view
point Of this issue in California,
where the Japanese question is
alive. He mentioned it in several
Middle Western speeches.

day, completing the first half of

among the housewives OF England

classes of foodstuffs, and bp prac-

CHLOOKEDFOR
BELGIAN INVASION

PARIS, July 7.-Marshal- Joffre, ex-
planning to the commission Of inquiry
Of the Chamber Of Deputies the aban-
donment Of the Briey mining field.
said:
1--WE could not reckon upon Belgian
resistance with certainty, but the
role OF the Fourth army was deter
mined with sufficient elasticity to al
low it to second any possible Belgian
effort 1t Is absurd to assert that the
general stan had never foreseen an
invasion through Belgium. 1t did not
know exactly what our enemies in
tended to do, but 1t had q sharp
watch kept on all concentrations out
lined before Liege.
"As regards Briey, IL Is certain that
our plans left this region outside the
zone protected by the covering
Of its Importance and wealth, but All
this region was under the guns of Metz,
and to advance our covering forces
on that side would have-been risking
its being crushed by q sudden German
attack. We abandoned Briey reIuc-
family, but we could not do otherwise,
for you cannot concentrate under
enemy fire.
1.-The general stan conceived q
grand operation, the object Of which
was to attack the enemy with all our
forces assembled on an immense chess
board. In this operation, Briey was
but an insignificant thing. Its fate
was bound up with our general sue
cess 1t was lost because we lost the
battle of the frontiers on August 81.
The loss Of this great battle was due
to the fact that the best units Of the
German army fell upon the weak point
of our front. On the French side,
there were shortcomings. During the
war l had to take measures against
men, some OF whom were my best
friends. 1 deplore it and still grieVe
over it, but 1 accomplished without
weakness what 1 thought to be my
duty"
Finally, Marshal Joftre explained
the principal maneuvers which led to
the battle of the Marine. In this bat
tie the investing of Metz. which was
an essential condition to the recovery
Of Briey. could not be contemplated.
The battle was won and the front was
afterward extended northwafd, but
the French had to sacrifice Briey.
