ought to make men millionaires
but never, never do; I'm buying

TAFT.s PEACE LEAGUE SPLITS.
Several Members Oppose the Plan OF
the President.

Washington. March 19.-The League
to Enforce Peace is having difficulty
in enforcing peace in its own ranks. 1T
came to light yesterday Sharp dis
sension has broken out among officials
and members over the projected league
Of nations.
William Howard Taft. president of
the League to Enforce Peace, has
joined President Wilson in nation
wide campaign to obtain the Amer
lean peoples endorsement Of the pro-
posed covenant. Mr.. Taft's stand has
been seconded by A. Laurence Lowell.
president Of Harvard University and
chairman of the executive council OF
the League to Enforce Peace, who will
meet Senator Lodge, republican lead
er Of the senate, in joint debate at
Boston.
Other high Officials Of the League
to Enforce Peace take a different view
of the proposed covenant and insist
that it contains features radically in
consistent with the aims of the League
to Enforce Peace.
They claim that the League to En-
force Peace has never endorsed the
particular league OF nations constitu-
ton before the Paris peace conference,
nor has. the. executive council OF the
organization ever approved 1t. They
take the position that the League to
Enforce Peace never had thought Of
surrendering American sovereignty to
the extent proposed in covenant of
league Of nations.
The insurgents in the League to En-
force Peace are inQuiring where Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Lowell obtained author
ity to commit the League to Enforce
Peace to the covenant now proposed:
They call for suspension of their
campaign in behalf Of the proposed
league [of nations until the members
of the League to Enforce Peace give
their approval to the Paris covenant.
