WILSON CALLS ON HIS PARTY
In Telegram to Democratic Commit
tee President Makes League Of
Nations Paramount Issue.

Neutrality-suspicious. hard upon
numerous manifestations of forthcom-

San Francisco convention, President
Wilson recently called upon the Demo
cratic party in emphatic terms 20 rally
to an espousaI Of the League OF Ma
tons covenant and rejection Of the
Lodge reservations.
Mr.. Wilson, in a telegram TO a Demo
cratic committee in Oregon, says that
the party should proclaim itself at
once the champion Of the nations
honor and the advocate OF everything
that the United States can do in the
service Of humanity" It should in
dorse the covenant, he declared, and
condemn the Lodge reservations as
utterly inconsistent with the nations
honor
The President advises the party to
turn deaf ear to considerations Of
expediency and come out strongly for
applying moral and Christian prin-
ciuples to the problems Of the world %
He says the League Of Nations is "the
hope OF the world" the object the
United States fought tc attain, and
says we shall be unworthy unless we
redeem our promises made on enter

Secretary of Navy Asserts That Amer

Secure British N&VaI Honors.

shington.-Secretary Daniels, be-
fore the senate investigating commit
tee, made his long awaited reply to
the criticisms OF Rear Admiral Sims
on the navy's part in the war.
The naval secretary let go broad
side which included charges that Sims
lacked vision, belittled the work Of the
American navy in contrast to the
British, coveted British decorations
and aspired to become an honorary
member of the British admiralty. He
said that officers supporting the Sims
charges were largely people with a
grievance"
The testimony Of other officers, in
possession Of first hand knowledge,
Secretary Daniels testified, should be
accepted by all open-minded men IS
an absolute refutation of practically
all Of Admiral Sims charges"

organization of a campaign for passage
by congress of the Capper-Hersman
bill, providing collective bargaining for
farm groups and consideration Of presi-
Dental candidates, leading to a posi-
BILE Endorsement by the farm interests,
were discussed recently at q meeting
of the national board of farm organiza-

Four Canadians, R. W. E. Burnaby,
of Toronto, president Of the Canadian
council Of agriculture; n. P. Lambert,
Of Winnipeg, secretary Of that organ
ization; J. J. Morrison, Of Toronto,
secretary Of the united farmers Of
Ontario, and G. F. Chapman, OF Win

Of c S. Barrett, Of Union City, Ca,

A committee, Of which the Cana
dams were members, adopted resolu-
lions advising the establishment Of an
international farm bureau. Another
ccImittee will be appointed to arrange
for the organization of the board.
Each Of the farmers organizations
represented at the meeting will send

urge the adoption OF planks favorable
to the farming interests in the Repub-
lican platform. Whether any one can

Of Farm Organizations, land we asked
the Canadians to come here that we
might become better acquainted with
them and with the work they have
been doing in their economic move

I'VE wish to form an international
board Of agriculture which viii do for
the farmers Of the two countries what
the American Federation Of Labor does
for working men; what the American
Association Of Commerce does for or
ganized capital.
