Washington, oct 3.-Ifavng faced
completely about on the question of

who, when mayor of Cleveland for
bade a preparedness parade, testified
before the house military affairs com
mittee in support of the administra-
ton program of a standing army in
peace time of $4,000 men in addition
to universal training. Secretary Baker
made use Of the opportunity to plead
for the league of nations covenant
which the president is trying to force
the senate and the country to accept
without change, Mr. Baker attempted
to show that the league of nations
would prevent militarism and war by
taking the position that the 509,000
standing army would "just a play

Ignoring the fact that even under
the supposition that the league will
be formed, he is advocating a standing
army several times larger than the
country has ever had, Secretary Bak
or tried to convince the committee that
without the league as it has been
formulated much yaster forces would
be required
Secretary Baker came out strongly
in favor of military universal training.
He said the plan which he was adj
vocating for the SOC 900 standing army
plus universal training had not been
submitted to General Pershing.
Members of the committee were
surprised at the mi'itaristic talk of the
supposedly pacifistic Mr. Baker They
were not particularly surprised that he
sought to make use of the specter of a
still greater standing army as an ar
gument for the presidents league

whether Mr. Bakers real purpose was

Gei eral Palmer in an address hare

by which practically all mineral and
other properties in Rumania owned BY
with Germany were confiscated, Were
read by the attorney general Thesa,
he said constituted very striking
evidence that Germany has not told
the truth with respect to the treat
men of American property"
The German government, MY
Palmer said, decided to purchase"
what it desired to take from RN-
mania and authorized the issuance Of
notes by a German bank which Wee
established as legal tender by mill
tary order. These notes, as placed in
circulation in exchange for perfectly
good commodities were secured" by
the deposit of German marks at the
Reiehsbank in Berlin. But the de-

forced to assume the new currency

consideration for American proper
ties was payable, and as conse-
quence Germany obtained such prop
critics for nothing
Mr. Palmer recalled that sucn
transactions were expressly ratified
in the Bucharest treaty, which Ru-
mania annulled, however when the
changing fortunes of war made II
possible.
In view of the treatment of Amer
lean property in Rumania and the
uncertainty as to what the Germans
really have done to American prop
erty in Germany" it was this coun-
try's obvious duty when the treaty OF
peace came to be written. Mr.. Palmer
said, to afford to American inter-
ests every protection that could rea-
sonably be exacted."
The provisions of the treaty. he
said. guaranteed this protection in the
fullest measure.

Washington oct. S,~--Senator Jones,
republican, of Washington, declared in
the senate today that President Will
son, by word ana deed. has done more
to undermine orderly peaceful, repre-
sentative government than any other
human agency
The presidents action "in at
tempting to coerce" a coordinate
legislative branch of the govern
ment to Ito its will, regardless of
its own convictions of duty, Sem
ator Jones said, was IA more dan
gerouS assault upon democracy
and the integrity of this republic
than any armed attack could be-"
"It cmbodieS the spirit of the
mob and justif'ies Iawlessness," he
charged
Senator Jones said he did not ques-
ton the presidents sincerity and how
ever much he might condemn his
methods, it would not influence his
decision in voting on the treaty, In
studying it, he told the senate he had
sought to find reasons to justify his
support, rather than to sustain a vote
against it.
The main controversy over the trea-
ty, Senator Jones declared, was the
covenant for a league of nations,
which will be rejected, but so rati-
lied that the vital interests of the
United States viii be protected and its
independence and sovereignty pre-
served a
"Thc league covenant should
not he in the treaty" he said.
"MOntlIS ago the treaty wi II Ger.
many should have been made and
ratified Who is TO blame for the
delay? No one but the president.
He ana he alone insisted upon the
two things being put together. II
the worlds heart is broken, lie
will break It, III the worlds hope
of peace shall ,lic, lie will kill IT,"
Senator Jones insisted that Amer
lean representatives in the council and
assembly Of the league should be
eventually elected by the people,
"Ihe president tells the people
the world will sink into chaos il
the United states does not enter
the league of nations" senator
Jones said, The danger to the
covenant today comes from the
president himself. He insists that
the covenant must he accepted by

Paris oct 3.-The news that need
Of rest has compelled President VIII
son to abandon his speaking tour
brought gloom to French supporters
OF the peace treaty. It is mitigated
by the belief that Mr. Wilson has
already won over to his side those
sections of the United States, notably.
California, which were most hostile
to the treaty.
Despite the encouragement con.
tanned in the news of the probable re-
lection of Senator Johnson's amend
ment by the United States senate.
pessimism as TO the acceptance of
the peace treaty in its present form
continues TO prevail. The situation
in the chamber of deputies is more
complicated than ever and the end is
by no means in sight
Apparently both Premier Clemens
ceau and the parliamentary commits
sion have approved, in principle at
least, Deputy Andre Lefevres resolu-
tion inviting the government to pro-
pose to its fellow signatories an ap-
pendiX to the treaty, assuring the dis
armament of Germany by forbidding
certain war manufactures in that
country ana BY such other measures
as might be deemed necessary.
Trouble Ahead.
Lefevre argued before the commits
sion that his proposition was per-
fectly feasible, inasmuch as Andre
Tardieu had said that the treaty was
susceptible of amelioration.
On the other hand it is pointed out
ltl, g ~ .1r,.
tiaries are directed to urge the Le-
feyre amendment before the confer
ence, it will necessarily open the door
to a flood of smaller proposals emit
mating from the chamber of deputies
and in effect nullify the constitu-
ticnal provision forbiddng the French
parliament to alter a treaty Under
the constitution the deputies are em-
powered merely to ratify or reject
such an instrument as a whole and
not to amend it,
Meanwhile Deputy Renaudel, the
socialist leader in the chamber, has
raised point which seems to refute
Premier Clemenceau's pronouncement
that the league of nations would staud
even If America declined to enter It.
Renaudel asks how, in view of the
fact that article specifically states
that the first meeting of both the as
sembly and council of the league
shall be summoned by the president
of the United States the league can
begin to function if the United States
is not a member.
The announcement that Jugo-
Slavia is now willing to sign the Aus
trian treaty, to which she was orig
inally opposed because of clauses pro
tectng racial minoritles, brought
some consolation to the harrassed
peacemakers.
