the organization in COnstantinople.
Mr. Nickery who has just returned
from the Turkish capital, said.
Men Being Tried.
These men who make these allie
cations of extravaganza and waste
on the part Of officials Of the Near
East relief are now being tried on
the charge of stealing supplies des-
tined for the relief Of starving wo-
men and children Of Near East
The Near East relief itself insti-
tutcd proceedings against these men
after 1 had talked the matter over
with Admiral Bristol and all the
leading American residents of Con
stantinOple, who were unanimous
that this was the only course to
follow.
we were perfectly aware that the
men charged with these thefts would
seek to defend themselves by bring
ing counter charges against the re-
lief organization, in the hope of eX-
cuSing their defense, but we deter
mined TO clean house and TO pursue
the Investigation 10 the very top.
We shall do whatever comes out

O. Whnt is Article =

.. What Is Article Y?
a. 1t is an undertaking TO respect
and preserve as against external ag-
gression the territorial integrity and
existing political independence of all
members of the League. The exact
text is as follows:
"The members OF the League un-
dertake 10 respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing inde-
pendence Of all the members OF the
League. In case Of any such ag-
gression or in case of any threat or
danger of such aggression the coun-
Gil shall advise upon the means by
which this obligation shall be full
filed"
o. Does Article y force members
OF the League to- assist in putting
down revolutions or rcbelliOns with
I'm the territory OF any other mcm-
Der?
A. 1t does not. 1t merely is an
undertaking to preserve against eX-
tcrnal aggression.
.. Does Article Y preserve the
status quo of the Versailles Treaty"
as is often alleged?
a. 1t does not. Boundaries may
be changed by agreement between
nations. revolutions may upset eX-
listing rulers, and portions of exist
ing states may gain their independ-
ence through successful rebellion.
These are not matters OF external
aggression. and the League has no
concern with them.
Q. What were the reasons for this
article?
A. There were two reasons.
% After former wars the vic
tors often rewarded themselves by
anneMng territory OF the van
pushed. AS the populations OF ter
ritory so annexed were therefore
governed against their own wishes
this was a great breeder OF wars.
The forced transfer OF Alsace-Lor-
raine from French 10 German SOW
ereignty in 1871 was one OF the
causes Of the great war in 1914.
C2) The peace of Versailles Gre
ated a number OF new or renewed
nations from people formerly held
in bondage by alien powers. Con-
spicuous among these were Poland.
formerly divided among Russia,
Austria and Germany. So Hungary,
Czecho- -Slovakia. and Jugo-Slavia
were carved out from the late Haps-
burg empire. Such new states are
always feeble at first They offer
an easy opportunity for aggressive
enemies. Article Y was drawn 10
protect them during their period OF
growth.
.. Docs the League covenant bind
its members TO go To- war To defend
any nation whose territorial integrity
j. threatened or violated by an eX-
tcrnal enemy?
A IL does not, according both %
the spirit Of the covenant and its re-
cent Interpretation. When Great
Britain was asked 20 send forces for
the defence Of Poland against the
Russian Bolsheviki Mr.. Lloyd
1 George. the British premier. sup.
I ported by his cabinet and his par
+ lament. declared that Article y did
not bind Great Britain 20 take mill
; .ary action for its defence. This de-
Cision was openly or tacitly APP
proved by all other members Of the
+ League. none OF whom considered
I the sending Of troops 10 Poland
Q. just how would Article Y op-
crate for the protection Of small ma.
\ tions?

VOTERS VISITED
POLLS YESTERDAY
Democrats and Republicans
Both Make Effort to Get
Citizens Out.

When the 116 registration places
in the county closed at Q O'Clock last
night IL was believed at the head
quarters OF both political parties
that approximately the full vote Of
the county had been reached during
the day.
1t was estimated at midnight that
at least 10000 men and women
throughout the county had register
ed for the fall election. bringing the
total registration of the county to
between 35, 900 and 40, 900 voters.
Eleventh hour efforts 10 get voters
10 register were made by both the
democratic and republican head
quarters. Organization workers kept
busy either getting voters 10 the reg
istration places or getting their atfi-
dayit blanks there.
Onc-Third Women.
At the registration Sept &, 1900
voters registered. A third of these
were women. At the registration
yesterday IL is believed that tho wo-
men registered in far greater num-
bers than on the previous registra-
tion 80 days ago.
At democratic headquarters at a
late hour last night il was believed
that the unregistered vote in the
county will not exceed eight per
cent OF the entire vote. which IS
placed at 10000.
Womer workers in every precinct
were busy throughout the day WO-
men showed as much interest in
yesterdays registration as did the
men. Last week political leaders eX-
pressed the fear that the full wO-
man vote would remain unregister-
CT. but this belief was changed last
night when reports from the various
registration places in the county be
gan 20 reach the political head
quarters OF both the democratic and
republican organizations.

" vote believed TO be unregistered.

headquarters that this eight per cent

GAS men WILL TALK
over STATES RIGHTS

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 90 - The
public utilities commissions Of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio are
to meet at the Pittsburgh station Of
the Bureau of Mines July 2, to en-
deavor to reach a working agreement
among their respective states in the
conservation of natural gas
Pennsylvania and Ohio being large
consumers OF natural gas, and West
Virginia the principal producer, the
conference will try to adjust differ
ences which have in recent years
arisen.
At the last meeting Of the national
committee on natural gas conservation
in Washington, the committee was
told the chief difficulty with gas con.
servation generally is that West vtr-
ginia IS selling gas to other states that
do not save it."
Members of the state commissions
of New York (second district), Ind
lana and Maryland also have been in
vited to the conference in the hope
they, too. might be interested in gas
conservation.

DANIELS JUST PLAIN
LIAR, SAYS B. DECKER

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26-
The SimsDaniels row over the navy's
conduct of the war was revived today
with the publication of letter from
Read Admiral Benton Decker, COM
mandant of the Seventh Naval Dis
trict Florida, in which he charges
that Daniels in his testimony before
the senate investigating committee in
tentionally and deliberately misrepre-
sented certain acts Of Rear Admirals
Sims, Mullam and Fiske.
The letter, dated June II and ad-
dressed to Chairman Hale of the COM
mittee was published In the Army and
Navy Register. service magazine.
1T is probable and more than
likely" the letter said, that If these
officers had bowed down and served
the gods that Mr.. Daniels worshipped,
they would today have been fattening
on the navy as commanders of fleets
on active duty or on pleasant jobs in
Washington.
I'm my opinion all credit is due to
these men that they fought unto the
end and upheld the standard of up.
rightness, loyalty to country, self sac
rifice and gentlemanly conduct-attri-
butes that the ideal naval officer has
always revered."

HARDING LEAVES TO
TAKE VACATION; Will
WORK ON ACCEPTANCE

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 90
Senator Harding, the Republican pres
idential candidate, left Washington to-
day for an unannounced destination.
He plans to be away until TUESDAY,
and it was said in his office that his
destination would not be disclosed as
the senator wanted a much needed
rest.
Senator Harding requested that
newspaper correspondents make no
effort to follow him as he wished to
spend his time quietly and devote part
Of it to his speech of acceptance.
Only a few callers were received by
the nominee before his departure.
Among them were Senator and Mrs.
Medill Mccormick, of Illinois. Mrs.
Mccormick. who was chairman of the
woman's executive committee of the
Republican national committee, dis
cussed with him the part to be taken
by the women in the coming campaign
and: told him that she expected to take
the stump in his behalf.
NEW YORK, June 26-Chances OF
clirching a Republican victory in the
far west in November would be mater
tally strengthened if the Republican
national committee would send candi-
dates on speaking tours of Pacific
states, according to Samuel Platt,
prominent Nevada Repres
who conferred with National Chair
man Hayes today.
Mr.. Platt told Mr.. Hayes public
opinion in Nevada, normally a Demo-
cratic state, had undergone a swing
toward Republicanism in the last six
months. Senator Harding, he said,
was we'll and favorably known through
out tha west, but by reputation only.
This good impression of the candi-
date would be much bolstered and
votes won if Harding should stump
the country.
