AMERICA COMES FIRST

In candidly surveying the contro-
versy over the treaty covenant and the
special treaty with France it must be
clear that the first consideration OF
those who insist upon reservations
amounting TO real amendments is the
protection and care Of the United
States. To them America comes first.
Hence such opposition is purely patri-
otto. This accounts for the added re-
cruits in favor Of an amended treaty
with Germany and an amended treaty
with France.
In both treaties the fundamental OBJ
lection is that the Council Of the
League Of Nations is made superior
10 the United States. The Franco
American treaty would be most desir-
able II It's validity and termination did
not depend upon the Council Of the
League Of Nations, thus supplantine

the United States Senate. The vital
parts Of the covenant Of the League Of
Nations depend largely upon the de-
cision Of the Council Of the League,
which may overthrow sections of the
federal constitution. To directors Of
such treaties America comes first.
Manifestly neither treaty can be rati-
fed until amended SO that America
and Americas interests and safety are
put ahead Of any other snation on
earth. That is one hundred per cent
patriotism.--N York Herald.

Cross-examined by Attorney Billiard
the doctor said his opinion on her sanity
was arrived at by the use of his medical
knowledge The attorney then asked IL
1t was possible to determine a person s
sanity by merely being acquainted and
on such a superficial amount of knowl-
edge Here an objection was registered
by Judge Darling who said that the
doctor was not put on as an expert wit
ness. The objection was overrued by
Judge Fish who said that the doctor
qualified as an expert when he admitted
that he used his medical knowledge to
determine her sanity. The question was
admitted and the doctor answered that
in order to determine the sanity of a
person 1t would be necessary to make a
complete examination. He admitted that
1t would be possible for a person to be
insane and still carry on business and
social life In a creditable manner. This
closed the session. Tho proponents will
take up at least the rest of this week
and possibly part of next.

INVESTIGATE FLANDERS DEATH
Customs Man May Have Shot Himself
Murder Theory Considered Re-
mote Possibility

Island Pond, Oct. 1.-The body Of Ralph
Flanders, United States customs man,
who was found mysteriously shot at the
home of Capt. and Mrs. II. E. Randall
early Tuesday morning, was taken to-
day to the home Of his father at Fletcher.
The body was accompanied by his father.
| who came to Island Pond upon word of
the tragedy.
States Attorney Powell to-day said to
Free Press man. "I have discovered
some valuable information and l shall
summon witnesses for n coroner's inquest
In day or So"
The window in Mr.. Flanders room was
not only closed the morning of the
tragedy. but the screen on the outside
was also in, and neither had been shot
through. Mr.. Flanders had not turned on
light, either In his room OF in the hall.
He staggered into the hall crying three
times I'm shot" and said no other word
when Captain Randall reached him.
The revolver lay on his bed, together
with his rife, where he had apparently
tossed them. One shot had been fired
from the revolver. which was an old
fashioned type.
Mr.. Flanders was fully dressed and the
revolver had been pressed to his body,
there being burns upon his coat.
It was said tonight by one in close
connection with the case that II was most
likely suicide, though there was no known
reason for It. The murder theory was
considered remote.
1t Is understood that States Attorney
Powell will hold conference with Drs
Whitney and Stone. who performed the
autopsy. tomorrow
Mrs Randall, at whose home Inspector
Flanders roomed, stated tonight she is
firm in the opinion that death was due
to the accidental explosion of his re-
volver which was found on the bed,
claiming that was the gun from which
a bullet had been discharged. There was
n second revolver in his pocket which
had not been discharged. She thinks that
when he tossed the gun on the bed it dis
charged.
