COVENANT IS NULLIFIED

Senator Hitchcock's admission that
the league of nations would have lit
tie power and Senator Reeds rejoin-
der that it is then an immense fake
is newly confirmed by the complete
text of the covenant, which provides
that "except where otherwise express
ly provided in this covenant of by the
terms of the present treaty decisions
at any meeting of the assembly or OF
the council shall require the agree
ment of all of the members of the
league represented at the meeting"
This is taken to mean that each
vote either in the council or the as
sembly must be unanimous, for in the
following paragraph of the article it
is stated that all matters merely of
procedure my be decided by a major
ity of those present. If unanimous
vote be required, nothing in contro-
versy could ever be settled and the
very purposes of the league would be
nullified. By this provision it is be-
leved that the allies accomplish all
they desire in the actual treaty in
which they gain great territorial and
other concessions while they leave the
United States with a document which
may be made innocuous by the inser-
ton of the one clause quoted.

AIRPLANES FIND FOREST FIRES

Reports to the forest service, U. S.
department of agriculture, from the
national forests in California, where
army aviators are making daily
flights in search of forest fires, indi-
cate that the innovation has been de-
cidedly successful and that all patrols
of the forest will prove so valuable
that they will eventually become a
permanent part of the work to shield
the great woodlands from conflagra-
lions. Numerous fires have been dis
covered in their early stages by the
aviators and have been reported i'm
mediately to the forest rangers. 1t is
believed that considerable loss has
been prevented by such early discov-
cry. Lack of suitable landing places
in this rugged country has proved a
handicap in some instances and has
caused belief in some quarters that
dirigible balloons will finally be found
more suitable than airplanes for for
est flying.

AMERICA AT THE MERCY
OF SOLONS IN THE LEAGUE
Outvoted and Outinfluenced in As
sembly and Council as Planned
Covenant

Washington, July 10-That the
United States will be unable to pro-
tect itself against the dictates of
either the council or the assembly in
the league of nations if the covenant
advocated by President Wilson is rat
flied by the senate is the opinion OF
senators who have studied the COM
plete document.
1t is stipulated in Article 3 that the
Assembly shall consist of representa-
tives of members of the league and
"may deal at its meetings with any
matter within the sphere of action OF
the league or affecting the peace OF
the world" In Article a it is agreed
that the council shall consist of rep
resentatives of the principal allied
and associated powers, together with
representatives of four other men,
bers of the league, named to be Bel
GUM, Brazil, Spain and Greece, and
"may deal at it's meetings with any
matter within the sphere of action of
the league or affecting the peace of
the world"
Members of the league are the
United States, England Canada, Aus
tralia, South Africa, New Zealand, In
da, China, Cuba, Ecuador, France,
Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Hedies,
Honduras, Italy, Japan, Liberia, Mic
aragua, Panama, Peru, Poland, Por-
tugal, Roumania, Serb-Croat and Slo-
vene State, Siam, Tchecko- Slovakia
and Uruguay Each of these has a
vote equal to that of the United
States, capable of dealing with any
matter within the sphere of the league
or affecting the peace of the world.
Britain outnumbers America six to
one in votes. Her influence is great
if not decisive over a majority of the
others AS Earl Grey has just said
in London, "the Empire was never so
great in glory"
On the council England will not
only have six votes to the one of the
United States, but Italy will be more
friendly to her because she cemented
their victorious alliance and because
of opposition to President Wilson's
policy regarding Fiume, Japan has
an open offensive and defensive all
lance with her, France is decidedly
friendly, Belgium is closely related
because at her front door and because
of ties of royal blood, Brazil is favor
able because of commercial interde-
pendence and antagonism to this
country, and Spain and Greece are
alike in purpose because of the ties of
royalty to the king of England. So
that it is figured here, the United
States would be outnumbered and
outinfluenced and outvoted in both
council and assembly. Britain energies
from the war the sole great power in
Europe and in the league covenant
America is made her vassal.

$4,000 DOCTORS ON SERVICE
LIST


The story of the mobilization of
the nations medical forces for the
army, navy and public health service
will form a unique chapter in the his
tory of the world, according to Dr..
Franklin Martin chairman of the
committee on medicine and sanitation
of the advisory commission, and
chairman of the general medical
board, council of national defense.
DR.. Martin, who recently returned
to Chicago from Washington, where
the big task was taken up on Deem
Der 6, 1916, announced that final fig
ures show 10000 medical men were
modified as officers of the army and
navy and the public health service.
In addition $4,000 medical men and
women in the volunteer medical SER
vice corps were enrolled, classified
and coded, making a grand total of
$4,000 out of total medical popula-
ton of approximately 100000.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
doctors in military service now have
been demobilized. They are return
ing to civilian life when the units
with which they are connected are de-
modified. Most of them are return
ing to practices which were left in
the hands of co-workers when they
entered service.

Between things and events
And when proportions seem all

His train of thot then becomes I'M

Instead of ordering the mental en-

It's load and continue the journey.
You see about you every day
Men whose engines have stopped

That is produced by the fire of am

Goals up the boiler,
Maybe it's up to you
To utter the right word
Perhaps whispering it
Into your own ear.

PILING ON MISTAKES

4 year more ago, the council passed an
ordinance having for its object the keeping of
dogs eff the streets within the city limits Eve
rybody was happy-that is those who had no
dog: as the end to the biggest nuisance was
soon to become thing of the past When the
law went into effect, it was discovered that
dogs howl when in1pounded. This habit was
annoying to the Power that be- and the dogs
were let loose. That was mistake number One
Just short time ago, the council passed ano-
Their ordinance compelling every landlord and
tenant OF promises along the streets to clear
the sroW OF the walks before noon of each
day. One day we got snow alright, but that
fool Snow came down during the afternoon and
night. Landlords and tenants waited to near
the noon hour: by that time it had frozen, elimi
mating the necessity of shOveing the snow.
Now it is all ice and the council cannot do a
darn thing. because it isn't Snow at all but glar
ing ice; and ice was never mentioned in the or
iinance. It only mentions snow; and there you

IS CONCEDED
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. : Debate
On the Shantung amendment to the
peace treaty was resumed in the SEN
ate today with leaders hopeful that
final vote would be taken before
adjournment.
Although contending that the vote
will be close, supporters of the pro-
posal generally conceded it would be
defeated
At the outset of the treaty debate
today, Senator Kellog, Republican, an
nounced his opposition to the amend
ment.
Sentor Hale also announced he
would vote against the Johnson amend
ment for the equalization of the vot-
ing power in the Leagueof Nations.
Senator Hale said he favored a reser-
vation dealing with the Shantung
agreement and would vote against the
treaty unless such reservation was
adopted
Urging the defeat of the Shantung
amendment, Senator Phelan of Cali
fornia declared American interests
were not only embraced in the preser-
walton of peace, "but in riddng Amer

Underneath the surface, competi-

one plan, it is definitely known, has
been backed to the extent Of $1,000
