TO RATIFY LEAGUE.
SAYS HITCHCOCK
Senate May Qualify Indorse-
mcnt in Resolution, He
admits

Boston. July 2G.-By 4. p)--ThC
Senate will ratify tho league of nations
covenant without amendment. but may
qunlifv it's Endorsement. Senator Hitch
cock asserted today. lie was address
ing informally group Of friends and
nrwSpnpcrmcn at the Union Club, hav
ing stopped here on the way to his sum-
mcr home at Swampscott.
The senator said he represented for
ty six Democratic and five or six Re
publican senators who stood against any
amendment. He felt certain that every
amendment proposed would be beaten
by from six to twelve votes. The only
doubt about the Scnntc's action, in his
opinion. was the question of the phrase
olOgy of the resolution of ratification,
which might contain qualifying terms.
IF any qualifications or intcrprcta-
tions are made" he said, they must
be made under the approval of President
Wilson. who is in communication with
the other nations involved The sena-
tor thought that any qualification re-
garding the Monroe Doctrine would fail
of majority. and he added that there
would be difficulty also in obtaining u
majority on any particular reservation.
There are fifteen to twenty five Re
publican senators in sympathy with the
league OF nations idea" Senator Hitch
cock estimated.
Regarding Shantung, the senator said
the league of nations pact merely took
notice of a treaty already subscribed to
by China. Japan. he felt. having by
force of arms turned German interests
out of China. was entitled to Contirma =
tion in the territory which Germany
had held by treaty ana transfer of
which he said China had approved. He
intimatcd that negotiations now pending
might result in Il definite declaration by
Japan of the date on which it would
withdraw from Shantung.
Instead of opposing the league, Sena =
tor Hitchcock said he fe't IriShwcn
everywhere should support it as offer
ing the best hope for future self rule of
Ireland. The provisions of Article Y,
he said, were such that member nations
of the league would not interfere tr
suppress revolution; that they would
move only against external aggreS =
sion and that while the league would
not assist people in cffccting revolution.

GERMANS THREATEN /.
RESUMPTION OF WAR
Economic Delegates Declare
France Is Forcing Armed Re-
sistance and Bolshevism
10000 MAY GUARD RHINE

Weimar, July 28.-Konstantin Fehr-
enbach, president Of the General As
scmbly, read report to the assembly
on the negotiations going on at Ver-
sailles with respect to economic meas
ures. He said the discussion between
the German representatives and those Of
the Entente are meeting with great diff
culties. The report of Herr Fehrenbach
read, in part:
"France demanded that Germany
unconditionally furnish a huge supply
of coal to the Entente, and the presi-
dent of the German commission said 1t
was simply unthinkable to comply. The
French then insisted that the Germans
hand over the coal.
''The Germans replied that France
by her insistence was driving Ger
many to take up arms and adopt boil
shevism. The Entente is reported to
have replied ironically that they would
know how to protect Germany from
bolshevism, for measures would be
taken to procure German acquiescence
to all of the peace terms, including the
delivery of the coal"
The cabinet at Berlin, it was an
nounced, is discussing the problem with
d view to convincing the Entente Of
the impossibility of giving up all the
coal in question Immediately.
Speaking yesterday in the National
Assembly, DR.. Herman Mueller, the
foreign secretary, expressed regret for
and condemnation of the murder of Ser
geant Paul Mannheim, the French nom
commissioned officer recently murdered
in Berlin. He voiced regret, however,
that the French Government had thought
it advisable "to use method which the
Germans abused during the war" in de-
manding q fine for the incident. (The
French demand was for an indemnity
of 10000 900 francs, in addition to COM
pensation for the officers family, which
latter sum the Germans have agreed
to pay.)
Paris, July 26.-(By A. P.)-The
size of the force required for the occu-
patton of the Rhitcland under the terms
of the German peace treaty was a ques-
ton under consideration by the su-
premc council at today's session. For
the present, it is said, force of 150,-
600 men is likely to be considered ne
cessary on the left bank of the Rhine.
The organization of the military ex-
petition for the occupation of Silesia
during the taking of the plebiscite there
also was discussed by the council. The
general understanding is that all the
allied and associated armies should be
represented The participation of
American troops in this work, however,
depends upon ratification of the peace
treaty, it is pointed out, as, in case
of unfavorable action, there no longer
would exist reason for the presence
of Americans with the allied troops.
In any case, it is considered prob
able that the proportion of Americans
in the expedition will be comparatively
small.
The Bulgarian peace delegation ar
rived at the Lyons station this morning.
The delegates were received by Colonel
Henry on behalf of the Allies and were
escorted in automobiles to the chateau
Madrid, at Ncuilly.

1900 BEER ARRESTS
IN CITY PREVENTED
Bonner's Offer to Furnish Evil
dence Against Liquor Law
Offenders Accepted
IMMUNITY is INDICATED

Acceptance Of the offer made by Neil
Bonner. president of the Philadelphia
Retail Liquor Dealers Association, to
furnish evidence that the members of
the organization arc selling beer, re-
liering the Department of Justice of the
burden of arrCsting 1900 saloonkeepers,
has been made by United States District
Attorney Kane. The order for n meet
ing of the saloonmen has already gone
out, it was said today Mt their head
quarters in the Penn Square building.
While no definite promise of immu-
nifty from arrest was given to Mr.. Bon
nPr, it is said, by District Attorney
Kane, in consideration of his pledge to
furnish him with the mutitudinous
cases of illegal sales of beer, salts
faction was expressed today over the
hope held out in Mr.. Kanc's declara
tion that "if saloonkecper admits his
sales and places the evidence Mt the
governments disposal. the fact that he
does so will be taken into considera
ton"
No Arrests Due Today
No arrests Of beer sellers or brew
rrs are planned for today. District
Attorney Kane. making public his nc
ccptancc of Mr.. Bonncr's offer, gave
out n statement. reading:
Mr.. Bonner has been in with the
suggestion that his people might pro-
ducc the evidence the government re-
quircs in order to make cases against
salOonkcCpcrs selling 2M per cent beer,
and | told him the government would be
ready to receive such evidence at any
time, that / would ask Todd Daniel,
OF the bureau of investigation, to hear
the evidence, and if the saloonkecper
admitted his sales and placed the evil
dcncc at the governments disposal. the
fact that he did so would be taken
into consideration. We would not in
such cases be forced to 20 out and
make case against the man, and as
there are nearly 1900 saloons in Phila-
dClphia, it would, of course, simplify
matters to have men come in and vol
UNFAIRLY submit their evidence"
Commissioners Get Rich
There were fourteen arrests made yes
tcrday in the city. Nearly all held
waived n hearing and gave the re-
0uircd $1,000 bail for saloon owners and
$500 for bartcndcrs. One saloon owner
and his bartender were rcarrcstcd yes
terday. These are halCyon days for
United States Commissioners Manley
and Long, as they arc paid their sal
aries III fees, each beer selling case net
ting them comfortable sum.

litigation.
For Mrs. Gresham appeared F. V.
Santer, who said his wife gave the cat
to the complainant and that the market
price of cats furs was above ten cents.
not to mention cat on the hoof.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Grelis mopped
his brow in hopeless wonderment and
alternately glanced at his Blackstone
and that part of the Bible called the
Book of Solomon. Then he ordered a
general roundup of cats in the neigh
borhood with a view to learning if there
we're enough difference between the gen
eral run of the animals to allow an in
dividual to pick out a certain one.
During the hearing, the cat under dis
cussion and the one said by Winokur's 3
witness to be its mother, fought bit
terly. The case was held over for fur

LEAVES WAYS
CHRISTENED WITH OIL
Pretty Miss Crosby, From Okla
homa City, Names Vessel
at Hog Island Yard

Christened the Tulsa, in honor Of
the Oklahoma town that contributed
the highest per capita sum OF any COM
munity in the United States to war
work and Liberty loans, the second of
forty five ships to 60 "dry" into the
Delaware, left her ways this afternoon,
nt Hog Island. She struck the water
at 1915.
The first was the Pipestone County,
launched on Memorial Day. Mime
sofa water broke crystal sprayed over
her bow as she took the first plunge into
her element. The Tulsa was christened
with crude oil, brought from the Tulsa
oil districts, and the bottle was dashed
against her by Miss Lulu Crosby,
daughter of one of that city's wealthy
oil operators.
Miss Crosby is a petite brunette with
blue eyes of the Irish type, and one
of the prcttiest sponsors that has ever
broken a bottle at Hog Island. Incl
dentally, her personality scored strongly
in the Liberty loan drives, which
brought Tulsa to the fore among all the
towns of the country.
At the launching Congressman Z. b.
Howard called attention to reasons
which entitled Tulsa to have a ship
named after it.
1--WE contributed an average of more
than $565 per person to war work and
the various loan drives, he said. Items
in this contribution included S31 81, =
76O to the various loans; $465 800 to
the Red Cross 81 ,750 900 in war saw
ings $196, 600 to the war budget; $50, =
600 to Jewish war relief; $1S,500 to
the X. Of c.; 1910, 900 to general war
relief; $4,000 to our local armory
fund; like amount to miscellaneous
military organizations, including hos
pitals, We organized three Independent
units, including a hospital corps that
went over with the Rainbow Division.
This is, l think, record for a town OF
10000, little over ten years old, to
boast of.
Included in the party from the Tulsa
district were O. ii. Leonard and wife,
Congressman Howard and wife, J. ID.
McClelland, c. +. Hopkins and wife and
Glenn Dickson. Miss Crosby was hon =
orcd at luncheon given at the Ritz
Carlton after the launching.
The Tulsa is 400 feet long, so feet
beam and is capable of an average
speed of II " knots an hour.
