is somewhat different. am not in
favor of striking this article out of
the league entirely but there are some
grave objections to this guaranty as
1t stands. believe there should be
some reservation constructing this
clause in such a way that it shall be
absolutely clear and certain that the
function of the. council is simply to
serve in an advisory capacity SO that
the other signatory powers will thor
oughly understand that the congress-
of the United States has the sole and
exclusive power to declare war.
II am anxious that this treaty
should be ratified at the earliest pos
sible date. l do not expect that the
league will permanently prevent war
or that It will be complete panacea
for all the evils which threaten the
peace Of the world. realize that 1t is
to some extent an experiment, but it
is an experiment am willing to try"

Louis Swift Pleased With
Idea Of Pleading Case
Before Jury. ......,. =

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment's case against the five big pack.
ers will be placed before the federal
grand jury which meets at Chicago

criminal prosecution will be tnstitut-
ed gas t.
Charles F. Clyne, federal district at.
torney at Chicago said today that be-
sides asking indictments under the
criminal sections Of the Sherman anti
trust law, civil suits would be
brought under that statute and that
in addition the packers would be
prosecuted under the food control act
on charges of boarding.
Mr.. Clyne has been in Washington
several days comforting with Attorney
General Palmer. ..
Four hundred different branches Of
the industry as conducted by the
packers, Mr. Clyne said. are being
dealt with by the department of JUS
tice. S.

F. Swift, president of Swift and Com
pany, referring to the announcement
that the packers will be sued, said:
81 would welcome the opportunity
to plead our case before any i'm
partial body Of men which has so far
been denied US. The public has beer
