GOOD OFFICES OF LEAGUE
OF NATIONS IS SOUGHT
To Prevent War Between Po-
land and Czecho- -Slovakia
Over Rich Coal Fields.

Paris, May Ed. N. S,)-The
threatened war between Poland and
Czecho- Slovakia over the rich Teschen
coal fields will be the stfbject of impor-
tant discussions by the council of am
bassadors either tomorrow or Satur-
day. The impotence Of the league of
nations under present conditions throws
the Polish -Czecho Slovakian contro-
versy into the hands of the ambassa-
dors. The possibilities OF new war
In central Europe are already engaging
the widespread attention of European
diplomats and the ambassadors are eX-
pected to take decisive measures to
prevent an open conflict.
DR.. Benes, foreign minister in the
CZecho- Slovakian cabinet at Prague,
who is now In Paris, is urging the
into the Teschen zone and make an
investigation.
Until Poland and Czecho- -Slovakia
settle this problem, Europe will be mep-
aced with war;" said DR.. Benes. "Our
relations with Poland now constitute
affecting central Europe.
"I predicted the decision to hold a
plebiscite In the Teschen district would
result in trouble, and now this prophecy
has been verified. The Czechs do not
want war. They are holding out the
hand of friendship to Poland and are
seeking a pacific solution of the trouble.
THE Poles sent emissaries into the
Teschen area to stir up trouble A
reign of terror exists there now. MUIR
der and pillage are frequent occur
rences: Naturally, the Poles and Czechs
accuse each other of these
outrages. The league Of nations should
send a commission to investigate"
The foreign office has received official
information that the situation in Tes-
chen presages diplomatic rupture and
possibly hostilties between Poland and
Czecho-SloYakia.

against belligerent government.
Moreover. when we entered the war
we set forth very definitely the purposes
for which we entered, partly because
we did not wish to be considered as
merely taking part In a European con-
test. This joint resolution which / re-
turn does not seek to accomplish any
of these objects. but In effect makes I,
complete surrender of the rights OF
the United States SO far as the Ger
man government is concerned. A treaty
was signed at Versailles on the 2Sth or
June, last, which did seek TO accom-
plish the objects which we had de-
clared to be in our minds, because all
the great governments and peoples
which united against Germany had
adopted our declarations of purpose as
their own and had In solemn form en-
bodied them in communications TO the
German government preliminary 10 the
armistice of Now IL, 1918. But the
treaty assigned at Versailles, has been
rejected by the senate of the United
States. though it has been ratified by
Germany. BY that rejection and by It's
methods we have in effect declared thar
We wish to draw apart and pursue oD-
jects and interests of our own. un-
hampered by any connections of in
terests or OF purpose with other gov
ernments and peoples ~
No Mention Made.
Notwithstanding the fact that upon
our entrance into the war we professeu
to be seeking to assist in the mainten-
ance of common interests nothing is
said in this resolution about the free
dom of navigation upon the seas, or the
reduction of armaments, or the vindi-
cation of the rights of Belgium, or
the rectification of wrongs done TO
France, or the release of the Christian
populations of the Ottoman empire from
the intolerable subjugation which they
have had for so many generations to
endure, of the establishment of an in
dependent Polish state or the con-
tinued maintenance of any kind of un-
derstanding among the great powers
of the world which would be calculated
to prevent in the future such outrages
as Germany attempted and in part con-
summated. We have now In effect de-
clared that we do not care to take any
further risks or to assume any further
responsibilities with regard to the free
dom of nations or the sacredness or
international obligations or the safety
of Independent peoples. Such a peaco
with Germany--a peace In which none
of the essential interests which he had
a heart when we entered the war is
safeguarded-is or ought to be incor-
ceivable, is inconsistent with the dignity
of the United States with the rights
and liberties of her citizens and with
the very fundamental conditions OF CIV
ilization.

have sufficiently set forth the reasons
why have felt 1t incumbent upon me
to. withhold my signature.

Southern Presbyterians to the inter-
church world movement, named the
sums which its executive committees
would be authorized. to contribute to it
and advised the Council of Churches to
take supervision of the movement. The
final vote on this report was decisively
in lhe Affirmative, but Immediately prior
to taking this vote the moderator, DR..
w. L. Lingle. had broken a tie stand
ing 90 for and 80 against in an amend
ment to submit the issue to the con-
sttuent Presbyteries for a year, leav-
ing the present status of the assembly
undetermined. DIR. Lingle voted against
this amendment on the ground that the
constituent Presbyteries were already
at liberty to take such action on the
interchurCh as they deemed wise. with
out advice or authority from this meet
ing of the assembly.

mey commissioner from New Orleans,

WILSON VETOES
PEACE MOTION
Says Republican Resolution for Ending State of
War Would Place Ineffaceable Stain Upon
Honor of the United States.
President Declares Knox Plan Omits Mention of Vital
" Interests, Vindication of Which America
Entered World War.

Washington. May 27.-The republican
peace resolution was vetoed today by
President Wilson.
Such method Of making peace with
--Sermany,% the president said, would
make an ineffaceable stain upon the
gallantry and honor of the United
States.
WITHOUT announcing his intention re-
garding the treaty of Versailles, the
president declared that the treaty em-
bodied the important things omitted by
the resolution and said that by reject
ing the treaty the United States had
declared In effect that it wished ito
draw apart and pursue objects and in
terests OF our own"
The president added that the peace
resolution omitted mention of many inn
portant objects for the vindication of
which the United States entered the
war.
''Such, a peace with Germany" the
message continued, IA peace in which
none of the essential interests which
we had at heart when we entered the
war is safeguarded, is or ought to be
inconceivable. is inconsistent with the
dignity of the United States, with the
rights and liberties of her citizens and
with. the very fundamental conditions
of civilization"
The presidents message follows:
