authority for the story that when the

today was first proposed he condemned

Confusing Statements Spread
There is much mental confusion
among the statesmen. which is respon
sible for the contradictory stories from
day to day, Last week Mr.. Lodge was
represented as on the point of agree
ment with Mr. Hitchcock. This report
was probably due to a failure to appre-
ciate how much Importance the Repub-
lican leader attaches to the sweeping
declaration that the United States as
sumes no obligation under Article y.
If these conferences break up there
remains the possibility Of enough Re
publicans deserving Lodge and going
over to the Democrats to ratify the
treaty. Many take this possibility
seriously. Mr.. Lodge himself is con :
sderably worried bv it. being torn be
tween the twelve compromisers and the

But every effort to reach an agree

fcult an agreement is. Nerves are on

Hitchcock. Charges of inveracity are

And the mild Republican position
/ is, 50 far a. words are concerned, eX-

namely. that there shall be no surren

Although he celebrated his sixty
eighth birthday yesterday by walking
forty miles in eleven hours and fifty
five minutes, Samuel f. Gavin. the
lawyer. left his home at All North
Fortieth street Immediately after
breakfast this morning to go to his
office at 1926 Arch street. There he
took up his usual work, as though moth
ing out of the ordinary had happened.
He did deviate from his custom by
taking trolley car downtown, but he
explained this was not because he was
tired, but because the sidewalks were
slippery.
II am not in the least tired or sore"
he said. II enjoyed the walk and feel
today as strong as man twenty years
younger"
He admitted that in making his walk
yesterday he finished twenty five min :
utes behind the schedule he had pre-
pared. but said this was due to the ice
covered roads and not to any diminution
of his prowess as walker.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. March 20 (by
the Associated Press) William Jen-
nings Bryan. who. was on his way to
Boston from New. York today, in an
interview on thes rejection of the
treaty. given here declared:
THE defeat of the treaty is a CO.
lossal crime agai nst our own country
and the world. IT we allow a minor
ity of the Senate to dictate the policy
of the Senate on this momentous ques-
ton we betray democracy and turn
our faces backward toward arbitrary
power, and arbitrary power as exer-
cised by few is scarcely less hate
full than arbitrary-power as exercised
by ONE.
Mr.. Bryan also said: "The action
of the- Senate is the more dfsgraceful
because the rejection was brought
about by union between a group of
of the treaty. whom the; democrats
have been denouncing for eight
months. If the action of the Senate
is permitted to stand we Invite con-
fusion at home and chaos abroad.
But the action of the Senate should
not be allowed to stand aS the YER
dict of the nation. The majority in
Congress should assert itself at once;
first. by declaring the war at an end /;
second. by declaring IN favor of the
nations participation i'm the league of
nations on such terms as the majority
shall agree upon; third, by proposing
an amendment to the. Constitution
permitting a majority of the Senate
and House to ratify treaty by joint
resolution. and in the same way de-
fine the nations foreign pplicy. thus
making it as easy to en6 war as
to begin it.
I'm the meantime the people should
wire and write to senator's and the
change of four votes' wilt be suffi-
cient."
