CONGRESS READS
PROPOSED PLAN

Washington, Feb. 14.-Leaders in
congress read the plan for league
of nations in press dispatches from
Paris today without formal comment
and most of them were most guard
ed in their observations even in
cloakroom and office. discussions.
Their silence was prompted by a de-
sire for careful study Of the leagues
proposed constitution, not by disin-
terest, and there were evidences that
much of the little remaining time
of the present session will be given
over to speeches on the subject be-
ginning in the next day or two.
In neither senate nor house was
there any comment today although
the press dispatches were sought and
read with interest. The articles deal
ing with arbitration and disarma-
ment were read on the house floor
during consideration of the army ap-
preparation bill by Representative
Harrison of Mississippi, Democrat,
and were greeted with scattering
applause, but without any marked
demonstration or subsequent debate.
Disposition was evident on the part
of leaders in both bodies to suspend
both judgment and comment until
after most careful consideration.
Several senators said they expected
soon to speak on the plan. Opposi-
ton was regarded as certain to come
from some members Of both houses
who opposed any kind of internation-
al organization.
From the animated private discus
sion it appeared the question of en-
forcement of the leagues DEGREES
was of principal interest. From a
'lrsory reading Of the draft several
of those who have been following
the proceedings in Paris most closely
thought the provision for economic
pressure by league members the
principal force as a war preventive.

time. He will likely be stationed at

CONSTITUTION DESIGNED
TO PREVENT FUTURE WARS

Paris, Feb. 14.-The first word;
constitution was made public this
afternoon when President Wilson
read the draft of the league of ma
tions organization before the general
peace congress.
While not containing provision
for any sort of international police
force, the constitution includes
stringent measures designed to pre-
vent future wars. In case any ma,
ton makes war without first submit
ting the questions at issue to arbi-
tration there are the following pos
sible courses open to the league:
Severance Of diplomatic relations
between members Of the league and
the recalcitrant power.
Economic blockade of the nation
refusing arbitration.
Recommendation by the execu-
tive council before the use of force.
The use of force, however, will
leave to each power freedom of ac-
tion under its action to make the
necessary declaration of war.
The international police force or
general staff urged by the French
and put to a vote yesterday after
noon after a stirring speech by Sem
ator Bourgeois was overwhelmingly
defeated. Only the French and
Czecho-Slovaks voted in favor Of it.
With this feature eliminated the con-
stitution was adopted unanimously.
The constitution includes q pream-
BILE and 26 articles, having been in
creased from the original % articles
during yesterdays session of the
league committee. The last articles
are devoted to purely parliamentary
matters. the other covering organiza-
ton of the league.
Existing secret treaties are abro-
gated and future treaties must be re-
ferred to an international tribunal
given full publicity. An internation-
al labor bureau is established. For
mer German colonies and Turkish
provinces are to be placed finder
protectorates, the latter on the basis
of self determination. All arma-
ments are to be reduced to a point
consistent with national security and
private manufacture of munition will
be- prohibited. The affairs of the
league will be administered by a
"body of delegates" in which each
member nation will have one vote,
an executive council, on which the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan will be represented
by one member each and the other
members by four representatives,
and a permanent secretariat to be
appointed by the executive council.
Congratulations on securing adop-
ton jof the league constitution pour
ed into American headquarters at
the Hotel Grillon before this after
Moons plenary session. Members of

ed this "is the golden day in the
history of the world" They declar-

When a rumor spread that certain
late cow which had been slaughtered
and sold for food, had been suffer
ing from rabies at the time of her
death, the population of this French
village descended on the doctor and
the mayor for advice.
Everybody who had recently eat
en- beef concluded that he or she had
contracted hydrophobia, and had con-
sequently gone mad.
Forty-four of the inhabitants
bought tickets for Paris, where they
intended seeing the best doctors,
But other passengers aboard the train
rebelled at the idea of travelling with
people who might suddenly go mad
and start swapping at them, so the
forty-four were huddled in cattle cars
and made the journey standing up.
A hundred more were getting ready
to go when a meat inspector an
nounced that though it was true the
COW had been infected there was no
danger of it being contracted.
The panic subsided.
