and to know that it was at all posi-

General Barnett said that while Col
Russell made a splendid report of his
investigations to Secretary Daniels on
last March 90, it was not received up
to the time he was commandant Of the
corps.
General Barnetts report on the
matter to Secretary Daniels was sub
mitted last month. 1t revealed that his

'"The attitude Of the fighters Of
America is for covenant of peace.

New York, Oct. 11.-Democratic
strategy for October-the critical
month Of every presidential campaign
is to drive a wedge between those
republicans who favor and those who
oppose the present League Of Nations.
President Wilson has gotten into the
fight actively. This is all by pre-ar-
rangement. When Governor Cox talked
with Mr.. Wilson at the White House
Just after the San Francisco conven-
.tion, 1t was agreed that the Ohio gov
ernor should open the campaign with
a series of speeches in the west and
that in the meantime the president
should remain silent. The idea was
that there should de no confusion in
the public mind as to the identity Of
the leader of the democratic party
Indeed, Governor Cox was to expound
his doctrines OF leadership. The state
ment from Mr.. Wilson that he was in
entire accord with Governor Cox on
the peace treaty and League of Ma
tions was generally construed as a
surrender by Governor Cox to the,
president but the fact of the matter
IL that the democratic nominee told
Mr.. Wilson his views and the presi-
dent expressed no objection to the
plan OF campaign or the ideas on res
'ervation to the peace treaty which

which ensued will be cleared up by
