LET DEAD REST
SAYS PERSHING
'If Soldiers Could Speak They

Washington, Aug. 2O.-GeneraI
Pershing, in a cablegram to the

opinion that the bodies of Ameri-
can soldiers, who died abroad
should be left near where they
fell.

diers speak for themselves. they

fought the last fight" General Per-
shing said. Those who rest in
England gave their lives in the
same cause and their remains rep
resent the same salvation as those
who lie on the battlefields
THE graves of our soldiers con-
stitute, if they are allowed to re-
main, a perpetual reminder to our
allies of the liberty and ideals upon
which the greatness of America
rests. / think the sentiments above
outlined are held by many who
have discussed this subject thor
oughly. They recommend that
none of our dead be removed from
France unless their nearest rela-
tives should demand after a full
understanding of all the senti-
mental reasons against such re-
moHal and further recommend that
immediate steps be taken for per-
manently improving and beautify-
ing our cemeteries.

BY AttOrney-Gen

Washington, Aug. 20.-Proposed
amendments to the food control act
which would authorize the presi-

strongly opposed today by Attorney
General Palmer.
Appearing before the house agri-
cultural committee to urge speedy

attorney general declared such ex-

FATE OF PEACE

White House Confab
Brings Controversy to
Climax-End Near.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1919; by The August
Washington, d. c., Aug. 90
President Wilson has brought the
controversy over the ratification of
the peace treaty to a climax. In
perhaps the most remarkable de-
bate in Washington in many gener-
atoms, President Wilson faced II
members of the senate foreign re-
lations committee, Republicans as
well as Democrats, answered queS-
lions with facility and ease, and
stated the position in which he as
the chief executive of the United
States sees the fortunes of Amer
lea and the peace of the world If
the treaty is ratified with qualify
ing clauses that give other nations
an opportunity to reopen the nego-
tiations and thereby begin a debate
anew at Paris.
Mr.. Wilson stole a march on his.
lnquisitors by getting first pub
licity. He read lengthy statement
which gives the first authorized
version of the presidents views of
the objections made in the last six
weeks to the treaty and the League
of Nations.
To Appeal to Country.
1t is in the nature of an appeal
to the country as well as the SEN
ate to realize the perils of delay.
Copper and lead mines, manufac-
turing establishments, cotton ex-
port and the channels of trade are
in the presidents opinion choked
and waiting for release with the
ratification of the treaty. Our mill
tary policy can't be formed till it
is determined what part the United
States is to pay in world affairs
inside or outside the league. He
talks at length for the first time on
the Monroe doctrine. He reveals
what has been printed before but
never from his lips-that America
told the other delegates at Paris
about the doctrine and they accept
ed our view. He explains why it
was called "a regional under
standing Of the famous article X
and makes clear that he concurs in
the views of the senate that con-
gress alone can declare war.
Master of Situation.
he states specifically that the
American peace delegation told the
other delegates about this provision
of the American constitution and
that they all understood article
10 was advisory but that It was left
to the conscience of every nation TO
determine whether 1t should par
ticipate in the punishment of a ma
ton that violated the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of

dent handled himself in masterful
fashion. He never hesitated with an
answer and seemed full of his sub |

SENATE BUSY
after MEET
WITH WILSON
Pittman Resolution Is in
Line With Course Sug-
gested by President.

Washington. Aug. 2O.-FOur
reservations on the League of
Nations covenant are embodied
in a separate resolution pre-
pared today by Senator Pitt
man, of Nevada, a Democratic
member of the foreign rela-
tons committee, for introduce
ton in the senate.
- Senator Pittman said the resolu-
tran was in line with the suggestion
made to the foreign relations COM
mittee yesterday by President Will
son, that if reservations are to be
made, they should be embodied in
a separate resolution and not in
the resolution of ratification, which
might make new negotiations nee
essary.
Senator Pittman said the reser-
vations had not been submitted to
the president. They are similar to
those proposed by a group of seven
Republican senators, and deal with
the right of withdrawal from the
league, article 10, domestic ques-
tions, and the Monroe doctrine.
Senate Busy.
With many facts developed at
yesterdays conference with Pres
ident Wilson before it, the senate
foreign relations committee today
resumed consideration of the Peace
treaty. J. c. Ferguson, an author
ity on far eastern affairs, was
called to testify before the commit
tee relative to Shantung and re-
lated questions.
China regards American ac-
ceptance of the Shantung provision
of the peace treaty IS a deviation
from the American policy of
friendly cooperation toward the
Chinese government, the senate
foreign relations committee was
told by Mr. Ferguson, an Amer
lean official adviser to the Chinese
president.
while not speaking officially for
The Chinese government, DR.. Fer
guson said he based his statement
on an intimate knowledge of Chin
csc official opinion.
Hold Treaty NulIified.
China's case in the peace confer
ence, he said, was based on the
unanimous advice of some of the
ablest international lawyers of
France. Russia, Belgium and Hol-
land, who agreed that the Chinese
declaration Of war nullified the
1915 treaty by which China agreed
not to take exception with any
settlement Japan might make with
Germany regarding the German
possessions in Shantung.
There was no indication early
whether the committee would again
confer with the president.
Debate on the League of Nations
and treaty was to be resumed in

ing the possibility of declaring the

81 to 10.
Under the terms of the bill day
light saving will come to an end
on the last Sunday in October,
when the clocks will be turned
back an hour.
Repeal of the daylight savings
law was practically assured when
the house passed the bill over
President Wilson's veto yesterday.
It was a case of the farmers YER
sus city residents. Those voicing
the sentiment of the rural popula-
ton carried the day, piling up
more votes than the necessary
two-thirds.
Party Lines Ignored.
Partisan politics did not enter
into the situation, administration
Democrats from rural districts
voting with the Republicans for
the repeal, and bitter opponents of
the president among the Republi-
cans voting to sustain him.
Congress failed in a previous at
tempt to pass a daylight saving
bill over the presidents veto in
July. at that time the measure
was attached as rider to the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill.
Twice Vetoed. Then Passed.
The repeal of the law which now
takes it's place among the very few
which have been passed over a
presidential veto, becomes effective
after the clocks are turned back
to normal in October. 1t will go
down in legislative history as one
of the very few measures which
have twice been vetoed by a pres
ident and became a law after all
by the vote of more than two
thirds in both houses of congress.
