Thomas Fitzgerald, Apartment jan

Chicago, July 2S.-Formal charge OF

Not q Peaoemaker
IT agree with Mr.. Root that II would
be desirable to eliminate Article X,
with It's guarantee to preserve against
external aggression the territorial In
tegrity' OF all members Of the league.
I still think that Article X is a trouble
breeder and not a peacemaker.
IF we arc entering upon new
world order OF democracies the newt
able consequences should be so recog-
nized. Democracies can not promise
war after the manner Of morarchs. It
ie idle to attempt to commit free peo-
pies to the making Of war In an un-
known contingency when such a war
may be found to be clearly opposed to
the dictates Of justice.
WE should not enter into guaran-
tee which should open US to the
charge Of bad faith or Of having de-
faulted In our obligations. notwith-
standing that congress in refusing to
make war had acted in accordance
with Its conception Of duty In the cir
cumstances disclosed"
When the covenant supporters argue
that under Article X all must agree on
the fulfillment Of an obligation, Mr..
Hughes said. and that the United
States could veto any proposal for In
tervention. 1t is freely recognized that
war can be declared only by congress.

senate today by Senator Walsh. den,-

stipulating that members are to pros

Eression."
Beyond travail and beyond contro-

cation In the case Of war by one nation
against another. 1t Is perfectly
gratuitous assumption that the pol-
itcal map Of the world could never
undergo any change unless nations are
permitted to wage aggressive warfare
against one another"
Senator Walsh said the sentiment ID
the United States for Irish freedom wao
almost unanimous. but that the same
senators who said Article X. closed
the way to American aid In an Irisn
resolution always added In the sam0
breath that I'VE must always keep OUT

WALES WILSON'S GUEST.
Prince To Stay At White House While
In Washington.

Washington. July 2S.--The heart OF
Washington society Is beginning to
palpitate visibly over the prospect Of
the visit Of the Prince Of Wales.
The prince Is not coming till some
time in October. but it Is understood
that Breckenridge Long. the assist
ant secretary Of state, to whose office
falls the duty Of carrying out and in
some measure suggesting the enter
tainment, will begin to formulate
program as soon as he returns from
Bar Harbor.
The prince is already on good terms
with the president and his family. ad-
miral Henry b. Wilson, who has charge
of the Atlantic fleet; Colonel House.
General Bliss. ADMIRAL Benson and
many state department officials. 1t Is
not known yet. tho. now long he Is to
stay and even where he will stay.
The latter question seems, however,
to have been settled by popular opin-
ion and by the only precedent SO far
as the visit Of an heir apparent is
Opinion Is that the Prince will. of
course. stay at the White House."
because Edward VII, Prince Of Wales.
stayed there when Mr.. Buchanan was
president.
The navy has not been informed of
the date when the prince is to leave
England for Canada. When that has
been fixed and it Is known what
ships will constitute his squadron. it
Is understood that an American
squadron win go out to meet him. His
squadron doubtless will then cruise of
Bar Harbor until 1t Is time for tho re-.
{. ! It has been undfficialiy announced
that. after the sojourn Of his royal
highness in Washington. he will pro-
coed to New York, which he will visit
about three days. His residence, how
ever. will be quarterSon board H. M.
s. Renown. which will take up her sta
ton in the harbor.
All of the officials here, who will
have duties to perform in connection
with the visit Of the prince say that
they will make no preparations until

ashington, July 2S.-The beginning
today OF the tenth week of senate de-
bate on the peace treaty was accom-
panied by many evidences of expec-
fancy that statements from President
Wilson might clear the issues around
which interest has centered. Indica-
tions from the White House that Pres
ident Wilson might take a stand about
the reservations proposed led senate
leaders to suppose that conclusion
might be reached. More than one re-
publican senator who has seen the
president at the White House believed
that his stand would not be an uncom-
promising one.
Democrats on Carpet.
President Wilson began discussion
OF the peace treaty today with demo-
cratic senator's. Further conferences
with republican senators. a dozen OF
whom already have visited the White
House, were held in allegiance.
Senator Thomas. democrat, OF Colo
RADIO. was the first caller today. rc-
naming with the president for half an
hour. He described his talk with the
president as highly satisfactory" but
refused to go into details Of the dis
cussion. The Colorado senator said
he was reading the treaty for the
fourth time. and was not yet ready to
announce his attitude.
Declaring that "the idea that the
treaty and the league of nations will
bring about permanent world peace
was largely elusory," Senator Thomas
said he would address the senate to-
morrow on one phase OF the treaty -
the effect 1t might have ON the peace
Of the world.
As to Shantung.
The hope Of developments regard
Ing the Shantung provision was based
on the presidents diplomatic CONVEX
sations with Japan to secure a public
declaration of her future policy re-
garding the peninsula. including pre-
ferably the publication OF the secret
undertaking with China for its res
toration.
In the belief that 1t could complete
today the preliminary Of the treaty
text, the foreign relations committee
plans to lay the document aside for a
short while tomorrow to permit ac-
ton on the Colombian treaty.
The speech Of Senator Walsh, demo-
crat. Of Montana. replying to the crit
icism OF Article 10 OF the league COW
enant. was the only one Of which pre-
v!ous not!ce has been given for today
In the senate.
House to Take Recess.
Without n record vote the house to-
day adopted a resolution providing for
recess from Aug. to Sept. 0. Dur
ing this time the senate Is expected to
be continually at work on the peace
treaty.

Another Clash Follows Free-For-All
Fight Of Sunday, In Which Two
Were Killed and Fifty or More In
jured-Trouble Starts at Public Bath
ing Beach.
Chicago, July 2S.-Trouble between
white men and negroes was resumed in
Chicago's 'black belt" today when
Moses Thomas fired several shots at
white workmen being taken to a south
side factory. When an attempt was
made to disarm Thomas. a dozen ne
groes rushed to his assistance.
The situation in the BLACK belt
where race rioting last night resulted
in the death of two negroes and the
injury of perhaps fifty or more. Include
ing four patrolmen. was under con-
troll today. Accounts Of the origin OF
the trouble differ. but the version ac-
cepted is that the fighting started at
the Twenty ninth street bathing beach.
where the whites and negroes swim in
Lake Michigan. This version Of the
affair says that a negro boy on raft
crossed the boundary line and that
4hi1e boys threw stones. He was
dro wned. A general fight teveloped
and riot calls brought several police
into the district for more than a mile
from the beach. Negroes asked the
policeman to. arrest a white boy and
when he refused. the negroes beat the
white lad. Many people, both white
and black, were injured by the missiles
thrown. After the fighting near the
beach had been quelled fighting broke
out in the negro quarter.
At early hours five calls were sent
to the police station. in which fights
in the vicinity Of Thirty-fifth street.
In every instance the fighting was over
when the police arrived. and Moses
Thomas, a negro. was the only person
arrested.
Fifty mounted police and 100 pa
trolmen today were assigned to guard
the district, while 500 policemen were
held In reserve.
The patrolmen were instructed to
search all negroes for firearms and to
prevent whites and blacks from con-
gregating in groups Of more than three
persons.
The police today declared that only
one unidentified negro Is known to be
dead and fifty eight persons were in
jured. Thirty three were white men
and twenty five negroes.
The disturbance occurred on Went
worth avenue between Thirty fifth and
Thirty seventh streets, where many
negro workmen reside.
Police today said they had been un-
able to find any trace Of the unidenti-
fled white boy reported drowned yes
terday in Lake Michigan at the foot OF
Twenty ninth street during the race
disturbances.
