WASHINGTON, July 29.-Express-
ing doubt as to the merits OF the
league of nations and pointing out that
either the league covenant or the
peace of force" with which it is link
ed must in the end perish, Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, told the
senate today he had reached no final
decision as to the treaty of Versailles.
While hoping that the great war
had so uplifted human morality and
intellect as to make permanent peace
possible Senator Thomas said he
could see no evidence of such a
change"
"The world is today more turbulent,
and scarcely less bloody than before
the signing Of the armistice,' he con-
tinued, "the people Of no nation on
earth seem inclined either to peace
or to the arts of peace. The pas
sions and discomfort Of man rock the
earth.

Wars cannot be averted by any
plans, leagues or precautions unless
the minds of men become averse to
theory that men can be made mercf-
full, wise and moderate by treaty reg
ulations. l make no plea for Germany.
She richly merits every requirement
which the treaty has imposed upon
her. But the Germans are human be-
ings, inspired by human impulses.
They have not accepted this treaty. 1t

allied powers can dictate.

Book; is Guest at City Jail by Request Of Modiste

CHICAGO, July 29.-Things haven't
been going at all we'll with Mary Mac
Lane, author Of II, Mary MacLane,"
and heroine of the frenzied film, Men
Who Have Made Love to Me-"
No, indeed.
There's only one consolation, 1t
woud appear-there will be lots OF
material for a new book before Mary
gets out of her trouble.
Mary was entertaining friend in
her home at APO Wrightwood avenue
recently when who should drop in but
Pat Lotus and Gregory Moran, the
handsomest detectives in the whole
detective bureau.
They brought with them, for Mary's
benefit, a curious document from the
pen Of Nine. ALA Ripley, modiste, $40
Michigan avenue, and Judge John r.
Newcomer. 1t asked for Mary's arrest
on the charge Of larceny by bailee.
Attorney Sidney ]. Frank threw
some light on the manuscript, saying
that when Mary was about to stage
her play for the camera, Nine. Ripley
loaned her gowns and furs and hats
and tunics. These were to be return
ed or paid for, according to Frank.
He says they were not brought back,
nor was there any money given Nine.
Ripley for them.
So they took I. Mary, to Detention
Home No. l, and her friend accompan-
led her and talked of getting bond.
The detectives asked the young au-
thor If she could furnish a cash bond.

SMITH PLACES BLAME
FOR ARMY CRUELTY
(By Associated Press)

NEW DIRK, July 29-Responsibility
for cruel treatment of American sold
iers at prison farm No. 2 near Paris
was placed squarely upon the should
ers of Major General F. S. Strong and
Colonel E. T. Grimstead by Lieut..
Frank H. (Hardboiled) Smith in testi-
mony given by him today before sub
committee Of the House of Represen-
tatives at Governors Island.
Asked by Representative Royal c..
Johnson, of South Dakota, chairman Of
the subcommittee, if his superior Off
GERS were acquainted with conditions
in the prison and if he considered
them responsible for them, Smith
replied:
absolutely. Those higher in au-
thority knew everything that took
place in the prison"
What were your orders when you
! were placed in commando" he was
asked.
Smith replied that he had been told
by Col. Grimstead that the orders OF
|, General Strong were that prisoners
| were to be treated with the most ruth
| less severity.
"Grimstead told me-" Smith added,
! that the men we're to be treated as
| general prisoners"
The witness explained that treat
ment of general prisoners was much
more severe than that of minor offend
! ers under ordinary conditions, al
though most Of the men sentenced to
| farm No. were guilty only Of sucl
dismeanors as being absent without

ELEMENTS IN TREATY DESTROY EACH
OTHER, DECLARES THOMAS IN SENATE

their details inconsistent The league,
inspired by unselfish and uplifting i'm
pulses. typifies peace and reconcilia-
tion. The treaty based upon passion
and self interest, embodies suppress
sion, reparation, indemnities, partition,
punishment The league proposes a
plan for new order in world affairs,
the treaty perpetuates the order.
THE treaty is doubtless the best
that the conflict of ideals and inter
ests could have produced. But it's con-
tending elements cannot co-exist, for
they are mutually destructive. If the
conditions Of the treaty persist, the
league will perish. If the covenant
survives, the treaty must temper it's
harsher features to conform with the
mission of the league.
IF I could write a covenant for a
lea que to enforce peace would, bear
ing in mind the arbitration treaties of
1913, and continuing allied association
for treaty enforcement, confine it to
the English speaking nations and col
onies of the world. Theirs are the in.
stitutions of free men, theirs the
wealth, the commerce. If they can
not save the world 1t is past all re-
demption.

LEAGUE APPLIES j. s, PRINCIPLES
TO WORLD PROBLEMS, CLAIMS GAY
Of Mt. Clemens with friends and

The speaker eulogized President
Wilson for his efforts at the peace
conference and declared the senti-
ment and best interests Of the coun-
try demanded ratification of the peace
treaty, leaving to the future the ad-
justment of any defects.
Article K, the heart of the league,
has been more bitterly attacked, per-
haps, than any other. This is an
agreement to preserve and protect
each other against external aggres-
sion. We here depart, as is absolutely
necessary, from the policy Of exclus-
iveness. Article x will prevent the
grabbing Of territory by greedy ma
tions. Almost all Of the wars in his
tory have been wars of conquest. l.
for one, believe that Article x will
have more influence in the prevention
Of wars than any other article of the
covenant.
This league is not a panacea for
all the evils which have afflicted the
nations; but if it shall lprevent even
one war, it will have served humanity
and civilization"

Friends Speaker Flags Cap
italistic System, Brings Out
Domination of State.

I'VE know that it is not right for
the United States to intervene in Mex
leo. and yet dare say that SO per cent
of you will hem and haw when we do
it and say: No, it is not right, but
the state has done it, therefore -
Now the reason for the attitude to-
ward the state is found in economic
rivalry, backed by false conception
Of the state, backed in turn by pugna-
city, which seems innate" said Nor
man Thomas, editor of the "World To-
morrow" before the Young Friends
conference at Earlham, Tuesday.
Il claim that more lives have been
offered to the demands Of modern
states than were ever offered up by
heathens. l hear it said that all we
have, all we are, we owe to the state.
That l say is all bosh! You have a
language, a religion, literature, sci
ence, art, and you do not owe them to
the state, do you? The state is moth
ing but a convenient organization of
men and women, and whether the
state is for the individual, or the in
dividuals for the state, is the all-impor-
tant question.
Thomas branched into historical
discussion of the progress of indus
tries and the effect from competition
and the lack of cooperation.

MUNCIE, Ind, July %. - George,
alias William Anderson, was arraign-
ed in Delaware county circuit court
here Tuesday on a charge of first de-
gree murder, following his capture in
a thicket near Honey Creek late Mon
day night.
According to county officials, Ander-
son will be brought to trial for the
murder of Clyde Benadum, following
an attempt to rob Benadum's drug
store, as speedily as possible. owing to
fear that Anderson might either es-
cape again, or be attacked by mob.
There is little fear that any violence
will be attempted by Muncie people.
although there is strong feeling
against the murderer here. A large
crowd assembled outside the county
iail when Anderson was brought here
from Newcastle late Monday night, but
there were no threats made at that
time. Officials do not anticipate any
race difficulties.

DR.. Edward David, minister of the
