"The World" and Senator Lodqe
(From the New York SUM-.

Our amiable if sometimes incoherent
neighbor the World is now endeavor
inc to prove senator Lodge guilty OF
political sabotage" because he has
"sent out kilograms declaring that il
is obvious that the covenant OF the
League OF Nations viii require further
amendments"
The exact process OF reasoning by
which our delightful if sometimes dis
composed contemporary hopes to con-
vict a Senator Of the United States
OF crime or mlsdemesnor for having
expressed the opinion that proposed
treaty satisfactory to the negotiator
thereof may yet require in some par
ticulars the attention of the rltifyins
authority is not as apparent TO US as
il seems to be to the World itself;
but at least there can be no doubt Of
the highly emotional feryor OF that
newspapers indictment OF the next
chairman OF the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.
In the FIRST place. our charming II
sometimes shatter-pated friend accuses
Senator Lodge OF Withholding from
its knowledge the nature OF the amend
ments he thinks may be necessary.
This is manifestly in the Worlds epin-
ion a devilish offence against that the
Dry of pltiless publicity, that lofty
precept about open covenants openly
arrived at, which has governed Presi-
dent Wilson's own relation TO the
document during the past five months
A less excited view OF the Senator's
retcence in this respect would be that
while he clearly percelyes the need
0f further amendment OF some of the
articles Of the proposed treaty, in or
der TO safeguard American policies and
interests. he IS not undertaking 10 do

the work that viii belong to the Sen
ate when the treaty reaches that body
in the regular way for discussion,
ratification or rejection.
But this is the least serious aspect
OF Senator Lodges criminal behavior

as contemplated by our highly es-
teemed II sometimes phrenetic con-
temporary. lie not only refuses TO
dictate TO his typewriter the text Of
the amendments which the Senate Is
TO adopt, but he is practically advocst-
ing "a return to the law Of the Jun
gle;" he is "anlrming the political
morality OF Junkertum;n - he IS "pro-
claiming his intention 10 undo what
has been done With so much effort
at Paris: he is apparently willing TO
destroy the moral influence OF the
United States throughout the world'
he Is trying 'to plunge civilization
into chaos" in short:
NO more venomous spirit OF rule or
ruin has been manifested in Wash
ington since the Southern Senators in
the winter OF 1860 and 1861 declared
that secession was the answer to the
election OF Abraham Lincoln"
Senator Lodge must be surprised. He
can have had previously but an i'm
perfect idea OF the black possibilities
OF his own personal character, the
venom OF his reasonable spirit, or
his infQuitous efficiency as a chaos
plunger. We are surprised ourselves.
The sun does not hesitate TO bring
to the attention OF the admirable II
sometimes slightly disarranged intel
lect OF its valued friend the hypothe-
sis-feeble perhaps in the Worlds
oplnion-that Mr.. Lodge may hon
estly believe he is only carrying out,
or endeavorlng TO carry out, the VII
sonian doctrine communicated by the
President 70 a Joint session OF the
two houses OF Congress on February
IT, 1918, when he said with his ac-
customed clearness Of enunciation:
"The United States has no desire 20
interfere in European affairs or to act
as srbiter in European territorial dis
putes."

MEXICO ADMITS DEBT
OF $500, 900, ,000 INSTEAD
OF ADVERTISED AMOUNT

Washington, Sept. 10.-Mexico's pub
lie debt is $500, 900 instead of the
S964, 1856, ,O42. as officially proclaimed in
paid advertisements in American news
papers. This new total is admitted in
an official statement by Luis Cabrera,
secretary of the treasury in the Car
rama cabinet, received here in official
channels. The estimate takes no ac-
count of q number of important items
charged up to Mexico by the foreign of
fees of a number of European govern
ments as well as by the state depart
ment here.
Cabrera in his statement asserts that
the entire $500, 600, 900 sis not to be i'm
puted to our political vicissitudes Of the
last year." but is due to troubles dating
back before the Carranza revolution.

Boston, Sept. lO.--Lawlessness was
rampant in Boston today. Without ade-
quate police protection, private citizens
were left to their own resources to pro
tect their lives and property.
Since the police strike at 5:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon there has been no
organized police power able to cope with
the situation that last night approached
anarchy and today appeared to grow
more serious as the inadcquacy of the
makeshift arrangements intended to pre-
serve public order became obvious to
the crimnally inclined.
At 1l:1j a. m. today the state guard
had not been called out and so far as
could be learned only a handful of high
er Officers in the police department and
an indefinite number of volunteers
were making an effort to prevent dis
order.
Rowdyism started almost with the
walkout of the patrolmen last night.
Thousands of persons gathered about
the police stations before 6 p. IN. and
when the officers emerged in civilian
clothes. or without insignia or equip
ment, they were greeted with cheers
and ieers. and at some stations youths
with grudges against certain officers
threw mud, sticks and stones. These
crowds were dispersed by superior Of
fcers and loyal patrolmen.
In South Boston rowdysm and loot
ing started early and continued through
the night. Windows in whole blocks
of stores We're broken and their con
tents scattered. Those who could not
get near the windows were able to buy
rare bargains in wearing apparel an
jewelry at cheap rates from Others who
were overstocked with the looted goods
Crowds began to gather in down
town districts about midnight They
were generally good natured, but ben'
on mischief Shoe stores were the che
attraction and it was a common sigh
| to see man or boy seated on the curt
trying on new acquisitions. Misfits were
used as missiles to break more win
dows.
Mayor Peters announced at noon to
| day that he had taken over control o
| the police department from Commits
sioner Curtis, a state appointee, anC
| had called upon state guard organlZa
