League of Nations.

MACON. Ga. October 25.-Declaring
it's unalterable opposition to the
league of nations. and instructing
Georgia's senator's to vote against the
Versailles pact, but bespeaking the

dicted

have arisen between Thomas E. Wat
son and Thomas w. Hardwick con-
cerning the nature Of the resolutions

derstood. wished the convention to de-
nounce President Wilson and various
features of his administration. de-
nounce the league of nations and de-
nounce Clark Howell, democratic ma
tional committeeman from Georgia.
Mr.. Hardwick. it is further under
stood, took the position that the Will
son administration is a thing of the
past and should be left alone, with
out praise or criticism.
The final agreement worked out be-
tween. them, it was said this morning,
was the adoption of a resolution, az
stated above declaring, first, for Cox
and Roosevelt; second, againse> the
Hardwick and Watson supporters
since the turnover primary that the
convention would pass a resolution
requesting Mr.. Howell to resign from
the national committee, but the lead
ers decided to let him alone.

termined by the President for each

bia; with a proportionate annual in

have been ordered to visit each corps
area h. ldquarters and there to advise
and confer with the corps area COM

Diplomacy will get you most any

182 milk PERMITS
DENIED BY FOWLER
Holds New York Farmers
Failed to Submit Cattle to
TubercuIin Test.

Health Officer Fowler today rejected
1S2 applications from farmers in New
York state for permits to ship milk
into the District on the ground that
they have failed to submit their cattle
to the tuberculin test.
1t is believed the action of the health
officer will mean the opening of a
legal battle between the health de-
partment and the New York producers
to have the local courts pass on the
right of DR.. Fowler to require the
tuberculin test.
DR.. Fowler said the applications
were filed by an attorney for the Mer-
rell Soule Company of New York, q
dairy through which the farmers were
to ship their product.
Decision Up to Omeer.
In announcing his decision on the
applications. DR.. Fowler pointed out
that the law provides that IL the
health officer is satisfied after an ex-
animation that milk should be shipped
into Washington he shall issue per-
mits authorizing shipment.
He said that under this provision in
the law he is not satisfied that milk
should come into the District unless
the cattle have been tuberculin tested
If court action Is taken by counsel
for the New York producers to com
ler is determined to maintain his pres
ent position until the courts have
finally decided the issue.
Heretofore Washington's milk sup
ply has come from the farms OF
Maryland and Virginia, where the

POINCARE SAYS .
u. S. is BOUND TO
PARTOF TREATY

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1920.
PARIS, October 25.-It seems
that the United States government.
whether or not it ratifies the
treaty of Versailles, cannot es-
cape certain responsibilities in
connection with it. Former Presi-
dent Poincare now points out that
according to paragraph 13 of an
mex 2 of the treaty any reduction
OF the German indemnities requires
the unanimous consent of Britain,
: france, Italy, Belgium and the
United States.
Since the treaty is already legal
ly in effect through the signature
OF more than the requisite number
of powers, all negotiations on rep
arations between France, Britain
and Germany must be submitted to
the United States, whether the lat
ter ratifies the treaty or not, and
the refusal of the United States to
accept these results would in
validate them.
1t is presumed, therefore, that
the State Department in Washing
ton will keep close track of the
progress of the arduous negotia-
tions on this vast and intricate
subject.

WORLDS SECOND LARGEST
STATUE ARRIVES IN D. c.

The second largest statue in the

the central figure for the Grant me-
mortal in the Botanic Garden, at the

sion, which is in charge of the erec-
tion of the memorial, said today, that
there is only one statue in the world
which is larger, that one by only few
inches.
The Grant equestrian statue was

, has been waiting for it for nearly fif-
teen years.
Mr.. Moore said that he expects the
work of setting up this monster
statue will be done this week.
The competition for this statue
was held in 1902. 1t is the work
Of Henry NJ. Shrady Elfnsford, N Y.
Mr.. Moore says that the base was
put in about 1906 and. as there
is no other statue Of similar design
and proportions in this country, the
task of fashioning the entire me-
mortal has been tremendous. In this
connection he points out that in the
cavalry group there are seven horses
and that the artillery group is equal
ly large. y
Congress already has passed in
structions for removal Of part Of the
iron fence on the east front of the
Botanic Garden grounds to admit the
statue and take care Of the unveiling
ceremonies.
