of the prince have not yet been re-

probably enter the United States by
way of Detroit on the return trip in
order to visit Washington.
Those accompanying the prince will
include Sir Sidney Greville, controller
of the household of the Prince of
wales. The governor general Of Can
ada also is expected to designate a
high officer of his staff to accompany
the prince in his travels.
Being the official guest of the
United States government. the prince
and his party will be completely in
the hands of the officials designated
by President Wilson to receive them
from the moment they cross the Ca
madam border until they depart from
New York for England on the Brit

this city the prince and immediate
party probably will be the guests of
the President in the White House.

LEAGUE PUTS UNITED STATES
AT MERCY OF KINGS

The league of nations plan has
written across its first page the
word .'dishonor," declared Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, in a
scathing arraignment of the league
proposal in the senate at Washington
recently.
He said the statement that the
league is necessary to keep the Unit
ed States out of foreign war is
"monstrous falsehood.
He declared that in the century's
existence there had been more than
fifty wars in Europe and the United
States had no part in single one
of them.
The formation of the league. he
asserted, will force the United States
to participate in every war which
may embroil the nations of Europe.
Senator Reeds speech was the
first attack upon the league proposal
by a member of the democratic side.
and for that reason it attracted more
than ordinary interest.
Senator Reed held the closest at
tention OF the senate. Almost ev-
cry member was present and two
score members of the house occupied
seats or stood about the chamber.
The galleries were filled to overflow
ing.
A demonstration occurred at the
close of the speech. Applause fill
ed the chamber even the senators on
the floor applauding vigorously,
contrary to all previous custom and
the galleries echoed the applause.
