Nebraska Representative
Speaks Against League

Washington, Sept. s.-(Special
Telegram.)- speech in opposition
to the adoption by the senate of the
league of nations covenant as now
drafted was made in the house Mn
day by Congressman Mclaughlin of
the Fourth Nebraska district. Mr..
Mclaughlin forcibly expressed the
belief that the covenant as now pro-
posed by President Wilson in
creased rather than diminished the
possibility of future wars and for
that reason opposed it. He said
many letters had reached him from
people who advocated league of
nations several months ago who op-
posed the present plan, and ex-
planned that while the abstract pro-
posal of league to end wars would
meet with universal approval the
concrete details did>not accomplish
that purpose.

INTERVENTIONIN IN
MEXICO FOUGHT
BY u. S. CLIQUE
Existence of Organized Propa.
ganda Movement in Amer
lea Established.

Washington, Sept. S.-(By The
Associated Press. )-Existence of
an organized propaganda move
ment in the United States calculat-
ed to counteract any step toward
armed intervention in Mexico was
established at the first hearing
Monday of the senate foreign re-
lations subcommittee charged with
investigating the Mexican situa-
tion.
Dr. Samuel Inman, an officer in
the League of Free Nations asso-
citation, and a former neighbor in
Mexico of President Carranza, ad-
mitted under sharp cross-exanuna-
ton that his association had sent
out literature aimed to quiet any
demand for intervention by the
United States in the southern re-
public. DR.. 1nman told the COM
mittee that American oil companies
were expending large sums of
money i'll an attempt to obtain in
tervention, but under cross-examin-
alton said he recently had been told
that the oil interests we're opposed
to intervention.
Says Carranza Honorable.
DR.. lnman told the committee
that in his opinion President Car
rama was a man of honor and in
tegrity and that he had strong
faith in the ability of Mexico to
work out its own problems if given
friendly assistance by the United
States. He depricated intervention,
adding that it would stunt the
growth of the carefully cultivated
pan-American idea.
James Cannon of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, followed
DR.. Inman with the assertion that
the only intervention advisable in
Mexico was that of the church and
school.
During the cross-examination
which followed his testimony Inman
was subjected to sharp questioning
by Senator Fall, New Mexico, chair
man of the subcommittee and Sena-
tor Brandagee, Connecticut. He
many times admitted that he was
unable to give the committee details
of charges which he had made and
at his request will be permitted to
appear again.

WAR HERO'S SMILE
NEARLY DISRUPTS
N. N.Y.PERFORMANCE Y.
Generals Arrival at Hippo
drome Occasion for Great
Demonstration.

New York, Sept. s.-The Per-
shing smile, which General John J.
Pershing brought home from
France, almost broke up a perform
ance at the Hippodrome, which the
returning hero visited tonight.
The general arrived with his par
ty, which included his son, Warren,
in the midst of the first act. Cheer
ing of a crowd which had gathered
outside distracted the attention of
the audience from the stage and by
the time General Pershing appeared
in the box decorated with his per-
sonal flag eyes OF the cast as we'll
as the great audience were trained
on him.
General Pershing stood at salute
as the orchestra, almost drowned
out by cheers, played The Star
Spangled Banner" He bowed re-
peatedly as the demonstration con-
tinued, but smilingly declined the
persistent cries of Speech" that
rose from the audience.
Performance Starts Again.
The performance finally got under
way again, but thereafter both audi
ence and cast were more aware of
the presence of the communicating
chief than the spectacle on the
stage.
The frock-coated gentlemen OF
Mayor Hylan's welcoming commit
tee detained the general so long at
a private dinner that Warren Per-
shing didn't get to see trained ele-
plant act and as if adding insult to
injury whisked his father off to
different box from that in which
Warren was seated. Warren got
even" during the intermission, how
ever, by going down to the basement
of the theater, where he fed apples
to the elephants and shocks hands
with score or more of the juvenile
ladies of the chorus"
Sets House Cheering.
Two special features of welcome
were added to the program. Shortly
after the general arrived, a cartoon
ist set the house cheering afresh
when he threw on the screen a well
come to General Pershing, which he
followed with a portrait of the gen.
eral and picture of a big St. Ber-
nard dog for the little general"
Later during flower screen the
fiImy clad participants of an aerial
ballet" flew over General Pershing's
box and dropped laurel wreath.
The crowd which greeted General
Pershing as he left the theater was
even greater than that which had
greeted him upon his arrival and de-
fed police efforts to check them in
the rush to get close to the generals
car. General Pershing acknowl-
edged the cheers with a smile and
wave of his cap, rising from his seat
and bowing as the automobile nosed
through the crowd.

PRO-GERMANISM
AGAINRAMPANT.
WILSON ASSERTS
Chaotic Element Against
"Steadyiing Hand in u. S.,
He Says at Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 8-(By
The Associated Press. )-Declaring
that pro-Germanism again had lifted
its head in this country, President
Wilson declared in an address here
Monday night that every element
Of chaos" was hoping there would
be mo steadying hand placed on
the worlds affairs.
II want to tell you" said the
president, "that within the last two
weeks the pro-German element in
the United States again has lifted
its head"
This element saw chance, he
said, by keeping their nation out OF
the league of nations to make posi-
bic again what Germany had tried
TO do in the great war. 1t was a
clean-cut issue, Mr.. Wilson declared,
between this new order or the old
German order.
Declaring the peace treaty pro-
visions for an international labor
conference would give labor new
bill of rights, the president declared
the treaty was "laboring mans
treaty" in the sense that it was a
treaty drawn I'D for the benefit of
the common people.
Settlements for Peoples.
The political settlements them
selves, said the president, were made
for the peoples concerned. He as
serted that the document laid down
forever the principle that no terri
tory ever had been governed except
as the people who lived there wanted
it governed.
THAT is an absolute reversal of
history" said the president, "and it's
all in the league of nations"
High taxes, large standing army
and a military government in
spirit" would be required, he said,
"if the United States were to fol-
low the advice of some men and
stand by ITSELF"
Germanism or League.
"Your choice" said Mr.. Wilson,
"is between the league of nations
and Germanism. l have told you
what l mean by Germanism-having
a chip on your shoulder"
When the president added that
sometimes he had been called an
idealist" someone shouted good"
and the crowd cheered.
The certain way to have trouble
between capital and labor, said the
president, was for them to refuse to
discuss their differences. He said
he could not understand how man
could refuse to discuss his case un-
less ne was wrong. The same rule,
he declared, applied to differences
between nations.
America could stay out of the
league, said the president, but it
would be at the expense of the peace
of the world
America is necessary" he added,
ito the peace of the world. And the
peace and confidence of the world
are necessary to America"
Mr.. Wilson expressed his regret
that he could not be in Washington

shing and the First division parade

The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-control
amid the shambles of the Meuse and
the blood -drenched forest of Ar
gonne was not proof against the
tribute of praise and gratitude which
was roared from hundreds of thou
sands of throats of his fellow citi-
zens.
His voice trembled with emotion
as he responded to the greetings ex-
tended by Secretary of War Baker
in his own behalf and that of the
president as we'll as the welcoming
address of representatives of the
senate and house, the state and city.
Can't Maintain Composure.
As his car passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which
jammed Broadway from the Battery
to the city hall Pershing attempted
in vain to maintain his composure.
Always he replied to the cheers with
the stiff salute of the officer. Ris-
ing to his feet he waved his cap
above his head with boyish gesture
which told how deeply he was
stirred, while the grim lines of his
bronzed face broke into smile
which was as Infectious, as it was
rare.
1t was a proud moment for the
great American soldier, but proud
er still remained. New York did not
exhaust its welcome today; Wednes-
day he will ride down Fifth avenue
at the head of the First division OF
the regular army, the first to 60 and
last to leave and victors in the first
battle ever fought on European soil
BY American soldiers. Surrounded
by comrades, humber in station. but
who had offered their all just as
freely in the cause of liberty, Gen
eral Pershing first reglimpsed his
native land. When the huge Levi
athan, once the pride of defeated
Germany, nosed its way through the
mists off the Jersey coast the gen
eral stood up on her deck with the
famous composite regiment" 5000
picked American soldiers, known as
'Pershing's Own"
His Guard Of Honor.
These stalwart soldiers were his
guard of honor when Paris and Lon
don paid tribute to the American
commander and they will be guard
Of honor when his own country's
metropolis pays its full need of
praise Wednesday.
Just after the general walked
down the gang plank at Hoboken
he received the first reward which
grateful country has offered him.
In the name of the same Secretary
Baker handed him his commission
as full general in the American
army, rank held previously by
only three men, Grant, Sheridan and
