Mr.. BORAH SAYS LEAGUE
AS FRAMED WILL FAIL

That the league of nations as at
present drafted in the peace treaty
cannot be ratified by the Senate. was
the opinion expressed today by Sena-
tor Borah Of Idaho. Senator Boran Is
opposed to the league of nations and
has said that he would not vote for it.
Other senators who have been
counted upon as favoring the ratifica-
ton of the proposed league of ma
tions, including Senator Cummins OF
Iowa, Senator Curtis of Kansas and
Senator Sterling of South Dakota,
may be found in opposition to ratifl-
cation of the league in it's present
form.
Senator Cummins has indicated in a
recent statement that changes in the
league constitution were desirable if
it was to receive his support.
1t REQUIRES a two-thirds vote of the
Senate to ratify the treaty and the
opponents of the league as proposed
believe that the tide againct the cove
nant is setting their way.

cation. and education in the profes-

possible for anybody to get back to
the United States without having ac-
quired knowledge of English suf-
fclent to enable him to read and
write.
The enthusiasm of the men for
education work is the most amazing
thing. Everybody at the university is
there voluntarily and the professors
are. many of them, men of great emf
nence; the head of the department of
philosophy. for instance. is pro-
1essor OF philosophy in one of the
great American universities. I was
told with one accord, every place I
went. that man in Beaume would
get the same amount of work done in
a month that the average. or better
than average. college student would
do In three months. The boys are more
mature. For some time their minds
nave been fallow-at rest on intellec-
tual subjects. This educational activity
is taking the place of the old inter-
est in war and the central idea is
siiding over from one thing to the
other. so that their concentration Of
attention is marvellous.
Il think it is entirely likely, from
what we are seeing over there. that
the development of a serious educa-
tlonal program in the Army itself is
possibility; and. of course, if pos
slble, is a desirable thing"
