MISSOURI SENATORS
TAKE ISSUE WITH
PRESIDENT WILSON


cept Mr.. Tumultys denial. There
is one way this dispute can be set
tied. Let the president produce
the stenographic records of the
peace conference showing just
what was said. These official re-
ports have been studiously sup
pressed and kept secret, although
the senate foreign relations com
mittee asked expressly for them.
1t was stated by Clemenceau's pri-
vate secretary that the reason the
sessions were held in secret was
because the president of the Unit
ed States insisted upon it as against
Clemenceau's own judgment.
Statement Is Correct, Says.
"That the latter statement is alb
solutely correct Is shown by the
testimony of Secretary Lansing
given before the foreign relations
committee of the senate on August
s, 1919"
Senator Reed also gave out
statement saying:
what now do we under
stand? That President Wilson
now means we are not under
obligations to send our armies
TO protect Rumania and other
members of the league against
attack?
III so, what becomes of Ar
ticle y, which he declares is
the heart of Ihe coycnant?"
After ALL" Senator Reed con-
tinued. "this controversy is imhia+
terial. Article X Of the league ex-
plicitly provides that we undertake
to preserve against external ag-
gression the territorial integrity
and Independence of other mem
bers of the league. That means
we join the league, therefore, to
defend Rumania and Serbia
against attack and preserve their
existing political independence.
That obligation may at any time
call upon us to send our armies
and navies across the ocean. THIS
is just what the president in his
speech is alleged to have promised.
The statements are as alike as two
eggs laid by the same chicken.

ALRIGHT PITCHING BY BURLE|GH GRIMES
HOLDS CLEVELAND RUNLESS IN SECOND,
TEN INDIANS LEFT STRANDED ON BASES
CBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York, Oct. EN- a pitching
battle between the leading hurlers
of the National and American
leagues, Burleigh A. Grimes,
Brooklyn's spit ball ace, today shut
out Cleveland, 9 to 0, in the second
game of the worlds series at Eb-
bets field, His ability to hold the
Indians in check when hits would
have meant runs, marked his SUI
periority over James c. Bagby,
whom Manager Speaker selected TO
add a second game to the Cleveland
string.
The victory, which placed the
Superbas alongside Iris Speakers
Indians, was due almost entirely to
the excellent hurting of Grimes,
who had the heavy hitting repre-
sentatives of the junior league baf-
fled throughout the game so far as
consecutive bingling was concerned.
With the exception of the eighth
inning, when Grimes temporarily
lost sight of the home plate Cleve-
land never appeared in the light of
a serious contender.
Ten Left on Bases.
The inability of the Indians TO
connect with Grimes slants when
hits would have meant runs, is APP
parently illustrated by the fact that
the Cleveland clan got fourteen
runners on the bags, of whom ten
were stranded and four retired by
subsequent plays. The Indians were
not without repeated opportunities

innings.
