The valentines with lifting lines
And dainty decorations
win hutter out and add no doubt
To gayeties of nations.
Some carry joy and some annoy
The people who receive 'em.
One fault you find in every kind:
You never can believe 'em.
And yet they share in human care
4 certain high position,
Along with writs drawn from the wit
OF sage and statistician.

BOSTON, Mass. March 20-Two
American gentlemen, United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and DR..
Lawrence Lowell, president of Har-
yard University met here last night
in a debate on the most momentous
question before the world-the league
OF nations. The decision as to the mer-
it's of the arguments today lies with
the American people. There was no
official judge, no-referee.
In some respects. Senator Lodge
and Doctor Lowell were agreed. The
latter argued for the principles OF the
covenant, admitting the necessity OF
some Qualification and amendment
Senator Lodge objected to the draft
in the present form, but declared hlm-
self in favor Of league of nations.
Senator Lodge criticised the present
draft as loosely drawn and crudely
worded instrument. DIR. Lowell ad-
mitted that there was much OF 1t capa-
BILE of misunderstanding and which
had been misinterpreted. Admitting
this and the need for several changes
and some amendment DR.. LoWeli
strongly urged the adoption of the un-
derlying principles of the draft OF the
league now before the world.
DR.. Lowell declared that the draft
is the first experiment In open d1plo-
macy and was submitted as such IN
the form of an experiment. He said
he was sure that there was no inten-
ton of adopting the covenant as 1t now
stands: that In their present state the
clauses are tentative only and design
ed to allow the people of the world
to consider the question for them
selves.
In his criticism Of the covenant
Senator Lodge called for league
which would not prevent the United
States from following the course OF
her traditional policies. He urged that
the Monroe doctrine be maintained
and declared that any league accept
able must leave that doctrine intact.
Senator Lodge asked the mothers Of
America If they are willing to guaran-
tee the political Independence and ter
ritorial integrity OF every nation on
earth to the extent of sending their
loved ones to far corners Of the world
to maintain those principles For
few moments there was silence then
some one shouted "yes." Which was
followed by an overwhelming no
NOT" from men and women alike.
Senator Lodge summed up his oppos-
ition to the draft OF the covenant In
what he termed "five constructive
criticisms" which were in effect,
that:
First-The instrument should be re-
drafted. It should mention what vote
is necessary to pass on every subject
contained in the covenant and wOrded
SO that all may understand 1t.
Second-Ambiguou phrases should
be eliminated.
Third-Should be made more def
mite by larger reservation of the
Monroe doctrine.
Fourth-1nternation questions OF
immieration should be excluded.
Fifth-League should be definite
as to whom and under what conditions
it can be abrogated.

PARIS, March 20.-The league OF

today.
On Saturday the committee which

Suggestions from neutrais regardlns
changes and amendments were to De

The delegates have been goins
over the clauses of the covenant with
the view of meeting suggestions and
criticism advanced by the United
States senate.
It was admitted today that amend
ments which will take into considera
tion these criticisms and at the same
time not tread on the toes of other
nowers-which would likely counter
with further amendments-are being
found difficult.
Some of the committees, having
virtually completed their work on
problems to be incorporated in the
preliminary treaty, are now consider

the final settlement.
