Bullitt to the foreign relations committee
last Friday, has dealt the League of Nations
covenant so severe blow that speculation
here revolves about what President Wilson
will do about it.
The question uppermost in the discussion
is whether Mr. Lansing will deny the truth
of the statements of Bullitt, who quoted the
secretary as expressing the opinion that the
American people would reject the treaty if
they knew what it let them in for"
Mr.. Lansing was given an opportunity to
deny the assertion. He declined to make
any comment. If Mr. Lansing does not re-
pudiate Bullitt, the question will be whether
he can remain member of the Presidents
cabinet.
That Secretary Lansing was not pleased
with the treaty was recognized from the
testimony he gave before the foreign rela-
tons committee and from his speech at the
American Bar association recently.
He told the committee the Shantung set
Element could have been prevented if the
President had insisted that he could not as
sent to it.

DEBATE ON TREATY IN SENATE
BEGINS

| WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-At exactly
2 o'clock today Senator Lodge, rising in his
place in the Senate said:
II call up the treaty of peace with Ger
many"
Thus was begun the formal consideration
by the Senate of the pact brought from
Paris by President Wilson for the settle
ment of the war;
For the first time in American history
the consideration of the treaty is to be
held in "open executive session.; every
word that is said in support of it and every
thing that is said in denunciation of it will
be heard by the public.
The reservations propose:
|. Unconditional right to withdraw from
the league.
2. Dec1ination by the United States, to
accept any of the legal or moral obligations
Of the much-discussed article 10, or to ac-
cept any mandatory from the league Eek
cept by action of the congress of the United
States"
3. Reserving to the United States the
exclusive right to decide what questions are
within its own domestic jurisdiction
4. Absolute reservation of the Monroe
doctrine to the judgment of the United
States alone.
The principal amendments are proposed
to provide:
Equal voting power for the United States
with Great Britain in the assembly of the
league.
Giving to China instead of Japan the
province of Shantung
Relief of the United States from having
representatives on commissions deciding
matters in which it has no concern.
Others concern phraseology.
These amendments and reservations, the
majority report says, are submitted Ito pre-
serve American independence and American
sovereignty, and thereby best serve the well
fare Of mankind"
Fears that other nations may not accept
an amended covenant the report dismissed
with the statement:
"That is one thing that certainly will not
happen The other nations will take
us on our own terms, for without us their
league is a wreck and all their gains from
a victorious peace are imperiled"

A WORD FROM SENATOR JOHNSON

In Senator Hiram Johnson's address at
Des Moines, Iowa, on the evening of Sep
TENDER IS, he said:
This is not a League of Nations to pre-
vent war. 1t is a league of armed nations
in gigantic war trust. It contains within
itself the germs of many wars and, worse
than that, it rivets, as in the Shantung de-
cision, the chains of tyranny upon millions
OF people and cements for all time unjust
and wicked annexations
1T is a great world economic trust,
wherein few men sitting in secret may
control the economic destinies of peoples.
1t is a trust of existing present power. It
will never prevent war; it will sanctify
power in new, terrible, and sinister sense. .
Senator Borah has also spoken along the
same line in his addresses. The following
is to the point:
IF Great Britain doesn't want the United
States to have more than one vote to her
SIX let her say so and give her reasons. An
open covenant is what we want The League
Of Nations is built upon wrong principles.
We are delegating to nine men sitting at
Geneva the power to say whether we shall
enter into war even though the American
congress votes against it. What plead for
is the right of the American people to decide
for themselves.

WILL SECRETARY OF STATE
LANSING NOW RESIGN?

Information reached senators from re-
liable sources that Mr.. Lansing's differ
ences with the President over the treaty had
been thrashed out long ago. Mr. Lansing,
it was said, frankly told the President in
Paris that he disapproved the terms of the
treaty and offered to resign The President,
according to the information received at
the capitol, persuaded Mr.. Lansing to re-
main, realizing that acceptance of his re-
signation might occasion some disastrous
publicity. In view of Mr.. Bullitt's dis
closures, however, the belief was enter
tanned in some quarters that Mr. Lansing
might renew his offer to resign.

BULLTTT CAUSES SENSATION IN
u. S. SENATE

On September II, William C. Bullitt, a
former attache of the American peace com
mission, appeared before the foreign rela-
tons committee of the Senate. The gist OF
his testimony is as follows:
President Wilson's advisers in Paris told
him the peace treaty was very bad and the
League of Nations covenant worthless
They declared to him that when the Amer
lean people finally learned all about the
treaty - who conceived it, how it was form
ulated and in whose particular interest and
the way the United States was dealt with
= they would utterly reject it.
They declared to him that Article 10 of
the league covenant would destroy the
Monroe doctrine and open the way for
Europe's interference in American affairs.
The President spurned the advice of all his
advisers and rejected in toto substitute for
Article 10 which would have compelled
every nation to accept the Monroe doctrine.
Article 10, as it appears in the covenant
of the League of Nations, is solely the pro-
duction of Mr. Wilson he conceived it. he
proposed it and insisted that the "Big Five"
adopt it.
Secretary of State Lansing, General Bliss
and Henry White, members of the American
commission, made statements in Paris de-
nouncing the league and the treaty.
Mr.. Bullitt presented to the foreign re-
lat1ons committee certain documents, some
of them in the Presidents own handwriting,
substantiating his testimony.
The senators were amazed upon learning
how the President had ridden roughshod
over the advice of the very men he chose as
experts on international and European af-
fairs. Senator Lodge, chairman Of the com
mittee, expressed his establishment at the
manner in which the treaty was made
Mr.. Bullitts testimony lifted the cid"
off the mares nest" of methods adopted at
the peace conference. Further developments
are expected.
Mr.. Bullitt further declared that Secre-
tary Lansing had given him an interview in
Paris on Last May 1o in which he de-
nounced the treaty and the league and said
that the American people would reject it
If they knew what it meant.

ALLIES TO VACATE RUSSIA

The following news dispatch was given
to the Associated Press from Paris, Septem-
Der Is:
1t is now definitely settled that the great
powers intend to allow the Russian re-
volutlonists to settle their own affairs and
work out their own salvation in whatever
way they please.
The sole limitation is that new Russia
respect the rights of its neighbours
An important meeting of the supreme
council was held this morning in M
Clemenceau's room at the ministry of war
There were present M. Clemenceau
Lloyd George, Frank L. Polk and Signor
Tittoni
Mr.. Matsui (the Japanese ambassador to
France) Marshal Foch, Andre Tardieu and
Philippe Bertholt were also called into con-
sultation. The meeting was continued this
afternoon.
Several extremely important decisions
were reached. The conference unanimously
agreed to the British policy of evacuation
of Russia and expressed itself as abso-
lutely opposed to any Russian adventures
| The decision Of the allies to withdraw all
troops from Russia is one of the most
momentous moves since the signing of the
armistice by Germany
1t means the withdrawal of approximately
10000 American troops, including hundreds
from Chicago.
It means that Russia, with its 18OOOOOOO
population, becomes a gigantic laboratory
for experimenting on the most advanced
and radical social and economic theories,
unhampered by outside military aggression
For months there have been seeping
through the allied censorship hints that the
stories of Bolsheviki brutalities were over
drawn and that reports of allied military
successes over the Red armies were exag-
gerated.
The climax in these revelations came last
week, when William c. Bullitt gave, before
the Senate foreign relations committee, the
results of his observations in Russia, where
he was sent by the American peace COM
mission to investigate conditions.
In his report to President Wilson and the
American commission which Mr. Bullitt
made public Saturday, he said he had found
the following conditions in Russia:
l. The soviet government firmly estab-
lished and soundly upheld by the great
majority of the population.
2. Social conditions excellent; hundreds
of new schools established; laws we'll en-
forced, executions rare, women protected.
8. Lenine idolized by the population,
which preferred to endure the starvation
due to the allied blockade rather than see
the soviet form of government overthrown
4. The present rulers of Russia belong
to the right of the social revolutionary group
and are holding in check the forces of an
archy which demand the massacre of the
burgeoise.
5. A willingness to make peace meeting
the entente half way in abandoning political
theories and agreeing to pay the debts of
the former Russian empire.
According to recent reports, Lenine and
Trotzky have 100000 we'll trained and
equipped troops. Observers state that these
Red soldiers appear imbued with the spirit
of crusaders in their loyalty to their govern
ment and that it would require vast armies
and Immense sacrifices to overcome them.

Consider Luke 9:57-62

These verses should be prayerfully con-
sidered by every Zion man, woman, youth,
maiden and child throughout the world.
There are now, as in the days of Christ's
ministry on earth, multitudes of sin-stricken
and disease-smitten people; and it is true
today as it was then, that "The harvest
truly is plenteous, but the 1aborers are
few"
Oh, that all Zion would pray morning.
noon, and night, with these words before
them:
"Pray we therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that He will send forth 1aborers
into His harvest"
0 God, send forth laborers to gather the
harvest!
The ministry of Jesus is summed up in
Matt 9:35
l. Teaching
2. Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom.
3. Healing all manner of disease, and all
manner of sickness.
Christ is Our great example in all things,
and His life should be, in a great measure,
reproduced in Our lives, and with His
ministry before us we should go forward
ministering to the sinful, sick, sorrowing,
troubled, and distressed. = Selected.
