SENATOR w. 70. FoRAH AN
INTERNATIONAL FIGURE

Washington. D. c.. July i6.--Sen-
ator William Edgar Borah. OF Idaho.
Is something more than a national
figure now. He IL today just as
much an International figure as
David Lloyd George or Georges Glenn
enceau. and from now on what he
says will be watched around the
world with much keener interest
than anything that may drop from
the lips OF either the British or the
French premier.
The fate OF the peace treaty. and
particularly the league of nations.
depends largely on what the United
Staes senate does. and Senator Borah
has become recognized throughout
the world as the real leader OF the
opposition. Tho prominence no has
attained In the fight to date 10 moth
ng as compared to the consp cuous
part he will play in the deliberations
Of the next few weeks.
He kept the fight going against
the league when others inclined to
oppose IL were mild in their declara-
tions, and he IL now rIghtfully and
logically the spokesman OF the oppo-
aitjon. Every day his office In del
uged by an army OF newspaper men
that looks much Hike the crowd that
thronged the white House on con-
ference days during the short period
OF pitiless publicity.
Whether no loses or wins, some of
the speeches that the Idaho senator
has delivered during this fight will
be quoted throughout the eensuries
to come. and some OF his utterances
will be as notable as Webster's reply
to Hayne. His oratory will live be-
cause II In an oratory that carries
eloquence and thought.
He has put the best efforts OF his
life into this fight because he be-
lieves that II IL truly a fight for the
preservation OF American independ-
ence.

"PITILESS PUBLICITY"
SHOULD Be DEMANDED
Before Peace Treaty. with Its Annexed League
Of Nations Covenant. IS Ratified the Senate
Should Have All the Facts.

Washington. July 1.-THE Repub-
hcan Publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington head
quarters:
Before the peace treaty with it's
annexed league of nations covenant
Is finally disposed of by the senate
the Committee on Foreign Relations
owes it to the country to conduct
hearings, and demonstrate the truth
or falsity of the. various stories OF
the peace conference that have come
to US from time to time. In spite of
the fact tha the treaty, and particu-
larly the league covenant contained
init, is fraught with more tremen-
dous consequences to the American
people than any document that has
come before them since the adoption
Of the Constitution, practically the
only source of information concern
ing the negotiations has been the par
TALLY censored press. The country
knows absolutely nothing of the bar
gains that were made among the
delegates to the peace conference in
order that the signatures of all the
nations might be obtained, and no
intimation has been allowed to es-
cape as to the authorship OF many of
tho most important provisions.
But, although they have been
denied authoritative information as
the conference progressed, the people
have drawn their own conclusions
on certain phases of the treaty and
covenant that should either be sub
stantiated or proved incorrect. That
the Committee can easily do by call
Ing before It the members of the per-
sonnel of the American delegation,
and taking their testimony under
oath. BY combining their statements
q connected and accurate story of the
proceedings can be obtained, and the
people will know at last in what man
ner their liberties have been traf-
ficked and bartered. Among other
things II should be demonstrated
1. Is Mr.. Wilson the principal
author Of Article x of the league COW
enant by which we would be bound
for all time to preserve the territor-
ial integrity and existing political in
dependence of all members OF the
league? Such an inference is a nat
ural one inasmuch as the President
used those precise phrases in a speech
in January. 1916, in, which he ad-
vocated similar guarantees for the
American republics.
2. Why does Mr.. Wilson insist
that the absurd language of Article
XXI protects the Monroe Doctrine,
particularly in view of the fact that
English authorities positively assert
that 1t does. nothing of the kind?
3. Under what theory was 1t that
the British Empire has six votes in
the league while the United States
and other nations are allowed but
one each?
4. Why was the British Empire

CUBs DEFEAT
NARIS IN TEN INNING GAME

After a most sensational ninth in
ming rally the Montpelier Cubs tied
the score. and in the tenth inning
won over the Paris Commercial Club
ball team by a score OF IL to l3. in
a game played on the local diamond
last Tuesday evening. The home
team blew up in the first inning and
let their opponents get away with a
four point lead. which they were
unable to overcome. and at the last
half OF the ninth II was IL to s.
However. the home boys began find
ing the ball and before the visitors
fully recovered and got them checked
seven more men crossed home plate,
tieing the score. In the tenth Paris
scored once. but the new pitcher
walked Hartman. Staley. and Hos
TVS. which. followed by a safe hit
~ Pugm're, gave rs the game.

| given control, in the form of manda-
tories, of about four-fifths of the
captured German colonial territory /;
this in spite of the fact that the Brit
ish Empire already controlled one
quarter of the total land area of the
whole world?
S. What was the so-called Amer
ican scheme for a league of nations !;
in what respect did 1t differ from;
and why was it discarded in favor
of the British plan?
6. Just what were the considera-
tions that induced Mr.. Wilson to
agree to urge upon the senate an al
lance guaranteeing protection to
France in the event of another war
with Germany?
z. Is 1t not a fact that upon the
rejection of the league of nations by
the United States senate it will be
promptly discarded by the. other sig
natory nations, and a separate peace
with Germany proceeded with imme-
diately?
8. Was there an accurate report
Istenographic or otherwise, kept of the
proceedings of the various commits
sions which transacted the real work
of the peace conference? If so is
there any reason why the senate
should not be put in possession of a
copy of every such record?
8. What is the true and un-
abridged story of the China-Japan-
Shantung controversy?
10, Where did Mr.. Wilson derive
his authority, either as president of
the United States or as it's peace
commissioner, to issue whP c amount
ed to an appeal to the Italian people
to overthrow their government?
IL. Why should a portion of the
Turkish Empire be selected for ad-
ministration by the United States as
mandatory? II this country must bo
ia mandatory for any captured terri
tory why not select that VIII 'ch for
merly belonged to the country with
which we were at war, Germany, and
which is certainly far more desir-
able than province peopled by the
unspeakable Turk?
These are but a few of the mys-
teries that confront the American
people, which 1t is their right to
have cleared up before they bind
themselves under terms that involve
those questions. The power that
vitalizes a treaty originates in the
people. The individuals who repre-
sent them in the conference have
behind them no possessions OF their
own with which to negotiate. They
merely draw up tentative arrange
ment that must be submitted for ap-
proval or rejection to the people
through their representatives in the
senate. In order that that action
may be intelligent the senate and the
public should have in their possession
all the data that was available to the
negotiators themselves. 1t is within
the power of the Foreign Relations
Committee to get it,"

from the time the first ball was
thrown until the spectacular ending.
Kilburn again tossed the sphere
for the Camels and pitched better
ball than he did on the previous day,
as the visitors got but six hits off
him, the Camels found Maher, an
imported twirler from Kansas City,
for eight hits. Both pitchers were
given good support and the contest
was really battle between the two
pitchers. The result should have
been 2 to l in favor of the Camels,
but two errors in the eighth per-
mitted the Brewers to place two
tallies to their credit. giving them a
lead of one. However, fortune
smiled on the Camels when it looked
as though the game was lost in the
ninth, for Garrison. who had famed
twice. got bead on the sphere after
two strikes had been called on him.
and brought in the winning runs.

THE BREWERS DROP TWO
GAMES TO THE CAMEIS

The Camels are travelling right
along In their race for the pennant
In the Wyoming-Idaho league. and
although Rock Springs has a pretty
good lead over them at this time,
1t is not impossible for the Camels
to overcome this lead.
Since the Camels knocked the
ink into smithereens several weeks
ago, they have been playing pretty
fast ball, having won Z out of 8
games. They took the Green River
Brewers down the line on the local
diamond last Saturday and Sunday.
Saturdays game was a rather
ragged and one-sided affair. The
Camels took the lead in the first
inning and held 1t throughout the
game.
Kilburn occupied the mound for
the Camels and pitched a fine game.
Although the Brewers found him for
ten hits, they succeeded in getting
only seven men across home plate.
In their efforts to stop the rush
of the Cameis, the visitors used two
men ON the mound. but the Camels
kept going and when the game ended
the score stood l 3 to Z in their favor.
Following is the score by innin gs: /:
Montpelier . o 5 2 0 0 0 x-13
