THE charge that Corea Ia swept by

WASHINGTON, April 10. - Senator
Hitchcock (Nebraska), retiring chair
man of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, in a statement tonight de-
clared that the changes made In the
League OF Nations constitution as offi-
cially announced in Paris, would remove
virtually all objection TO the covenant
He predicted that the peace treaty con-
tanning the league covenant would be
ratified by the Senate.
1.-THE changes that have been made in
the League Of Nations covenant" said
Senator Hitchcock, "are very satisfactory
and are conclusive answers to all the
objections that have been made to the
plan. I think they remove most OF the
objections that have been raised by Sem
ators. Where the constitution had been
little indefinite 1t has been made
definite and certain. II rs materially
improved in form and language. Presi-
dent Wilson has won great victory"
Most OF the Senators who signed the
Lodge resolution were out OF the city
tonight and could not be reached TO OBJ
tain their views regarding the changes
that have been made and tho probable eff
feet of the alterations upon opposition
sentiment in the Senate. Senator Lodge
(Mass.), Republican leader, left WASH
ington early to-day for his home in Bos-
ton Senators Borah Gdaho). Knox
(Pa) and Poindexter (Wash.). Repub-
licans, and Reed (Mo.), Democrat. who
have criticised the draft of covenant
first proposed. either are on speaking
trips in connection with the league plan
or are at their homes.

SUNDAY SESSION HELD
BY COUNCIL OF FOUR
Lloyd George Clears Up for
His Trip to London.

TARIs, April l3.-Quite Unexpectedly
a meeting of the Council OF Four was
held at o'clock this evening, with
President Wilson in attendance. The
call for the meeting resulted from Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges determination to
return to London tomorrow.
The British Premier will remain in his

and his colleagues decided TO request
Anal meeting to-day to close certain
phases OF the discussion which the Pre-
mier considered best for him to attend
to personally. instead Of leaving the task
to Arthur j. Balfour. his substitute In
the council.
The session. which began at 6 o'clock.
ran we'll into the dinner hour and broke
up after o'clock The discussion COW
cred the general situation, among other
questions the date when 1t would be
possible to conclude the draft treaty
and summon the German delegates to
Versailles. ...-.....
No statement was given out. but II
was announced this evening that Presi-
dent Wilson will issue a statement to-
morrow. presumably referring to the ac-
complishments OF the Council OF -Four
and OF the general situation to date.
The Italian and Jugo-Slav questions
Will come before tho council tomorrow.
II Is understood that Lloyd George
attached great importance to the dues-
| ton OF the probable date OF the termina-
ton of the work OF the conference.
DESTROYS OF being able to give the House
OF Commons some idea when the long
drawnout labors OF the conference will
be finished. II any definite notion OF
this was reached at to-day's conference
It was not revealed.
During the early hours OF the day the
President remained at home, but later
| went driving with Mrs Wilson. The
bright sunshine after raining in the fore-
noon had filled the streets with Pari-
slams, to whom the sight OF the Presi-
dents car has become familiar.
| Little trace OF the Presidents recent
illness remains. but the large amount OF
work Of the past week fatigued him so
much that he resolved he would do abso-
lutely no work to-day. The only callers
were the retiring American Ambassador
and Mrs. Sharp, who came to say good-by.

PARIS, April 13.--Frank +. Walsh,
Edward r. Dunno and Michael J. Ryan.
representatives OF the Irish societies in
America chosen at the Philadelphia con-
ference, will take the bold but simple
course OF asking President Wilson to
get hearing for them before the diplo-
mats OF the world, including the Brit
ish, at the Peace Conference. Already
the American delegates have got in
touch with the representatives of the
Sim Fem who have been here FOR some
time.
The delegates from the United States
will! ask that the Irish freedom case be
presented to the conference by the Sim
Fem representatives and II this request
Is denied they will ask that a hearing
be granted them TO put forth the argu-
ments OF the Emerald Isle. The Ameri-
can delegates take II for granted that
the case of Irish independence will be
presented to n plenary session OF the
conference through President Wilson.
as they believe that this is the-only
course he can take in view of his denial
that he had said that Irelands future
Is Great Britain's domestic question.

REDS ARE LIKELY TO
OVERRUN CAUCASUS
Georgian Army Attacks Kuban
Cossacks, Thus FavOring
the BOlsheviki.

PARIS, April IA dreary picture Of
conditions in the Caucasus Is drawn In
reports made by tho American Food Ad-
ministration agents at Batum and at
Novorossyek to the Paris headquarters
The Georgian Government is described as
irresponsible and probably temporary
but nevertheless the Georgian army Is
pressing north and attacking the Kuoan
Cossacks In efforts to extend the Geor-
gian boundaries. and thus making the
situation more difficult for the Don Co.'S
sacks and the Kuban Cossacks who are
operating against the Bolsheviki on the
north with limited forces. A British
warship at Novorossysk is stabillzng the
situation there.
Both the Donikine Government at
Ekaterinodar and the Don Cossack Gov
eminent at Rostow are described as
weak and the situation as so chaotic gen
orally that there is danger that the Boil
shevlki, with the ending of winter and
the Improvement OF the roads, will over
run the entire territory. The report says
It IL now rumored that both governments
are ready TO compromise with the Boil
sheylki, but that the volunteer armies ap-
pear patriotic and willing to fight until
they are exterminated.
Considering the general public cent?
ment In the district the report states
that there seems to be no interest In
allied aims and purposes and that the
majority generally express regret that
they did not espouse the German cause,
since the Allies are refusing to aseist In
restoring order.
The British occupancy in the southern
Caucasus, according to the report. ex-
tends from Batum to Baku, but there Ia
little evidence Of British occupancy else
where. OIL is being produced In small
quantities at Baku, but the Government
there 10 interfering and the oil Is chiefly
used for local consumption.
Armenian refugees concentrated be-
hind Batum are reported in bad condi-
ton. but they are being partly relieved
by the Armenian committee. and will be
further helped by the food cargoes now
on the way from America to be sold
against obligations entered into by the
Armenian provisional government. II
ie too late to supply seed 10 the Cau-
casus for this season, the agents say.
At Novorossysk the Armenian and
Assyrian Cossack refugees are without
funds and are undergoing great priva-
lions.

here and in the United states is not SO
generous as 1t ought to be. Perhaps the
war has made us nervous and irritable,
but no good is going to come from re-

lions is lmpotent. The Echo de Paris
says:
Mr.. Wilson has imposed upon his
associates his idea that the covenant
should be made an integral part of the
treaty. The object OF this apparently
is to reduce Germany to a state of
tranquility and prepare her for en-
trance again to the family of nations.
But we must demand Of Mr.. Wilson
that he show equal solicitude for US;
after what has taken place It is i'm.
possible to expect this from the
league.

OF Frankfort. q grand illusion, which
will add to the weakness Of our dem
ocratic countries. When We demand
to know who will watch over and hold
Germany in check Mr.. Wilson can no
longer reply The League of Nations
II is significant that this article then
demands that the treaty shall embrace
old fashioned alliances which will take
the place of the League Of Nations.
Criticism Of the League OF Nations
in the French press takes wide
range. Frances sympathy for Belgium
has caused her TO resent the Presi-
dents deciding voice for Geneva as the
place Of meeting OF the league. but
Belgtum's contention that the home of
the league should be at her capital as
n constant reminder of the reasons for
Its birth is equally resented by the
President, who at the final meeting re-
piled vehemently to this contention
that this was the best reason why the
seat OF the league should be in Swift
erland.

Geo. A. Hanson, at Request

Paper.

Geo. A. Hanson has revived the ELS
worth News. He has raised the price
to 50 year and promises the people
of Ellsworth a good paper-a promise
he is well able to carry out. In an
nouncing his intentions he says in part !:
The News is appearing again after
la silence OF several months, at the en-
nest request of the people of this vi
cinity We believe in lsworth; our
home is here, and our acquaintance
are here, and where your heart is, al
so are your sympathies. But, as much
as we have thought Of Ellsworth and
her people, twas absolutely necessary
that we discontinue the News at the
time we did because of lack of support
and we only consented to a return of
it's publication upon the promise that
the patronage would be more liberal
in all ways.
