WIN SENATORS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. "A
joint statement by Senator Borah, of
Idaho, and Senator Johnson, of Cal
ifornia, members of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, was issued this
afternoon sharply defining President
Wilson's attitude on some Of the most
important provisions in the Peace
Treaty.
The statement not only represents
the conclusions of the two Senators
with respect to the Presidents inter-
probation of disputed questions about
the treaty, but it lays down the pro-
gram of attack which the extreme
opponents of the League Of Nations
and the treaty will follow henceforth
in the Senate.

close-cropped gray hair, and eyes
which express unscrUpulOus deter

Until quite recently he was almost
unknown, but came to the front some
time before the armistice was signed
because Of his pronounced hatred OF
anything which threatened the old
German order. His avoWed intention
Is to establish a monarchical German
state in the Baltic provinces, and il
