APPLICATIONS TO ATTEND
 LOCGE-L DEBATE

Boston March 11.-tAppIications for tickets of admission to Symphony hall on the evening of March 19. when Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and President A. Lawrence Lowell of Har- yard university will discuss the pro- posed league of nations. poured in upon the committee of arrangements today. Before any plans for distri-
 button ot admissions had been worked out requests from clubs and individ- uals had been made for the greater part of the 2.500 seats available
 The affair will have the character of discussion of wide latitude instead of debate on a precisely worded question. Senator Lodge said today
 that his theme would be as set forth in his letter to President Lowell accept ing the latter's invitation to meet him on the platform: The plan for the
 league of nations agreed upon by the commission of the peace conference which has lately been published in this country"
 Dr. LowelIs letter put the matter a little differently. He asked for a de- bate on the question: Whether or not the substance of the provisions of this
 covenant should be ratified by the i United States"
 Neither will be bound by the usual rules of debate. It is planned that 1 Senator Lodge shall speak twice and 1 Dr. Lowell once, but each occupying 1 the same time.

GERMAN PRESS OPPOSED
 TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, March 11-General op- position to the proposed league of ma tions is reflected ill recent German newspaper comment received by the state department and made public to- day. Two of the newspapers declare that the league as proposed would es- tablish "Anglo-American world domi- nation" while another characterizes it as "a league of arms against Ger many"
 The Vorwaerts asserts that the league lis league of victors with character of a trust despite the well come establishment of the principle of arbitration, and the treaty is per vaded with a capitalistic spirit"
 The 'Tagelische Rundschau says that the league simply establishes Anglo American world domination, France, Japan and Italy being permitted to assist neutrals.'
 The Germans, according to the Tageblatt, now learn that in the league of nations statutes established at Paris without consultation, no atten- tion appears to have been paid to Germany, evidently considered a sec ond CT third rate power. The league is a draft not of a league of nations but q league of arms against Germany"
