 Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, republican, denied the accusation and declared that since the Oklahoma s-..- ator, as we'll as Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, had devoted three quarters of the day discussing an academic subject it was ''effrontery" to charge the republicans with delaying trans action of business.

 Declaring that profiteers had robbed the people" by high prices of Wheat products at the beginning of the war, Senator Kirby. of Arkansas, democrat, proposed an amendment to have the wheat sold at the price that would prevail if the government were not to dispose of it. This was de- feated without a record vote after Chairman Gore said it would kill the bill.
 Senator Penrose said under the bill the senate was called upon to appro- priate one billion dollars to make good mistake" and an expensive 'blunder". The speech of Senator Gcre, in charge of the measure, was the only explanation of the bill, the Pennsylvania senator said He added that he had copies of the Oklahoma senators speech printed at his cau~ expense to send to his own constit- uents as the only way to justify his vote for, the bill.

CONFIDENCE IN ACCEPTANCE OF
 LEAGUE PLANS
Wilson Believes Nation Will

PEACE
 WITHIN FEW MONTHS
Is Reluctant to Re-Opcn League Constitution Before the
 Conference.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Further in.- portant expressions of opinion of the league of nations came today from President Wilson in his conferences at the Capitol from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee in an address to the Senate, and from Senators and representatives who attended the dinner last night at the White House.
 President Wilson expressed confi- dence in the success of the plan. He also let it be known that he has ev- cry expectation of the conclusion of peace within few months. He said that territorial adjustments present ed the most delicate problem remain ing. Work on all other questions, he stated, is rapidly nearing completion.
 Does Not Conflict.
 The president declared that in no particular did the proposed constitu- tion of the league conflict with the American constitution or with the Monroe doctrine. He also said he had in mind only one amendment, design led to clarify the clause dealing with enforcement of territorial decrees.
 MT. Wilson was said to have indi- cated that he was reluctant to reopen the league constitution before the peace conference. He was reported as feeling that with the document app proved unanimously by fourteen pow CTS after many weeks deliberation, it would be inadvisable to reopen the ne- gotiations unless changes proposed were fundamental. The change he has in mind was not to classed by the executive.
 Senate debate will be resumed to- morrow with addresses by republican leader Lodge and Senator Frelinghuy- Isen. of New Jersey, republicans.
 Today Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, democrat, introduced resolution ad- vocating amendment of the league constitution to definitely declare that American sovereignty is not affected while Senator Spencer of Missouri, re- publican, offered resolution propos- ing that the league be excluded from authority over "purely American ques- tions." Both resolutions went to the foreign relations. committee without prospect of action before adjournment of congress. v ''

and from the stage. He urges that the
lesson of fresh air, nutritious food,
and of proper care and rest be brought
home to the people of America as the
best remedy for tuberculosis preven-
ton. His statement follows:
"The conquest of the disease tuber-
culosis rightfully occupies position
of rank and Importance in the minds
and attention Of the American people.
It's ravages in Europe have caused us
to view with CONSERVATION the strick-
en- countries Of the Old World shat
tered in health. The knowledge that
million cases exist in America arouses
in us feeling akin to that which we
felt when the submarine warfare was
begun against us. tuberculosis is a
kind of submarine warfare and we
must attack it in return for its attack
on us. We must drive it from the
tenements, the factories, and the
schools as we drove the submarine
from the deep. We can best do this
by preventive and educational meas
ures, and / heartily approve Of the
National tuberculosis Campaign, both
educational and financial, which will
be conducted December l to 10. / hope
that from the platform, the pulpit, the
teachers desk, and from the stage, by
address and by film, the lesson Of
fresh air, or nutritious food, and Of
proper care and rest, tuberculosis pre-
vention will be brought home to the
people of America.
81 hope that the campaign to finance
the community tuberculosis work of
the country by the sale of Christmas
Seals will prove successful to the
highest degree, for the funds realized
by this sale enable the tuberculosis
nurse to discover the early causes, to
give them treatment, thereby remov-
ing them from being a menace and
danger to the whole community.
"The fund affords free community
tuberculosis clinics, dispensaries, ed
ucational literature, public addresses
material relief for the afflicted and
sanatarium treatment for advanced
cases, cooperating with every mu-
nicipal, state and national agency for
the eradication Of the disease which
today holds in its grasp more Amer
leans than any other.
81 heartily endorse the National
tuberculosis Campaign and wish it
complete success"

THE JEWISH NATIONAL FUND.

At the meetings of the Great Ac-
tons Committee recently held in Lon
don, the situation and the work of the
Jewish National Fund in the near fu-
ture were the principal subjects of
discussion. Three members of Ad-
ministrativo Committee at the Hague,
Jean FISCHER, J. H. Kahn (members of
the A. c., and Nehemia de Leme,
were present at the meetings. Mr.. de
Lieme reported on the present situa-
ton of tn National Fund and dwelt on
the necessity Of the j. N. F. mainly
concentrating on its original task
the acquisition of land and the affor-
estation of Palestine. After the mat
ter had been thoroughly discussed the
American Zionists, with Mr.. Brandeis
at their head taking a prominent part
in same, a resolution was unanimous
ly passed pledging the Zionists Fed
erations to support the j. N. F. or
ganization to their utmost ability in
its efforts to procure the means for
the important work it will have to do
in the near future.
For the first time since the out
break of the war, an extraordinary
general meeting of the Jewish Ma
tional Fund has been held in connec-
ton with the meetings Of the A. c. in
the rooms of the Zionist organization,
London, the following members of the
]. N. F., under the craftsmanship of
Mr. Kessler, being present: NJ. U.s.
sischkin, j. Rossoff, DR.. V. Jacobson,
J. Simon, j. Naiditsch, Professor o.
Warburg, A. Hantke.
The chairman explained why it had
been impossible to convene an ordi-
nary general meeting during the war
and then devoted some words to the
memory Of the late directors, Wolff
sohn and Tschlenow, who have rem
dered such unforgettable services to
ZiOnism and in particular to the Ma
tional Fund. In place of the above
mentioned gentlemen, Messrs. Boris
berg (pro TEN, London) and Nehemia
de Lieme (Hague) were nominated by
Messrs. Kessler and Ressoff and
elected members Of the National
Board. The general meeting then ex-
pressed its sincerest thanks to the
head Gee and the administrative
committee appointed for the period Of
the war in The Hague, for the valua-
BILE services rendered the j. N. F. dur
ing the critical years of war. For the
future it was decided that, in place Of
the committee, a director of the j. N.
F. should again supervise the head
Gee, with which task Mr.. de Lieme
was entrusted.
