LODGE CONDEMNS LEAGUE
 OF NATIONS AS FAILURE

Boston. Aug. 2e.-The league of na- tiozs was condemned by Senator Lodge in an address at a mass meeting of the irepubliczn league of Massachusetts at Braves Field today. The league. which has got all members in it but one" he .ssid. has been an absolute and total failure. It hasn't accomplished any thing.
 Tt may be impossible to ratify with reservations" Senator Lodge, added, Tt may be undesirable to do so, it may be necessary to enlarge and strengthen the reservations-or it may be best to put aside this ill-drawn, ill-conceived league and to take up under the auspices of the United States a new agreement assoeia- fion or league composed of all the na- fions of the earth under the leadership Of the United States. That's a solution which comments itself, I believe, to Sen ator Harding"

CARDINAL DENoUNCEs
 ASSASSINATION OF CONSTABLE

Belfast, August 29.-(By The A. P) Cardinal Logue. primate of Ireland, in a vigorous letter read in the Dundalk churches today, denounces impartially the shooting of Constable Brennan, who was assassnated at DundaIk week ago by masked men, and reprisals by the crown forces recently in southern Ireland. He says:
 The poor victim I know to have been a quiet upright man who never gave of fense to anyone in the discharge of his duty
 Am I to be told that this is an act of war; that it is lawful to shoot at sight anyone wearing a policeman's uni form and honestly discharging police mans duty? l prefer to call it by it's true na1ne-cold, deliberate, wilful mur- der. Hence anyone who plans, encour- ] ages, abets Or even sympathizes with such an act participates in the guilt be- ] fore God'
 l Equally condemning reprisals, the car dinal continues:
 | T know We are living under the harsh 1 tyranical regime of militarism and brute 1 forms, which invites and stimulates l crime, that all pretense of discipline has | been thrown to the winds: that those protesting to be the guardians of law and order have become the most ardent | votaries of lawlessness and disorder
 that they have been overrunning the country and making the night hideous
 by raids, rifle fire burnings and the destruction of valuable property; that
 towns have been sacked, as in the rude warfare of the earlier ages and that those who run from fear are shot al sight and that reckless firing in crowded places has made many innocent victims
 And when these things are reported
 to the authorities, either investigation is refused or some hole or corner inquiry
 held, but We have never heard of pun ishment. All this professes to be don'
 by way of reprisals, but .reprisals art generally unjust and often fall on the innocent. Crime does not excuse crime.

cessive. The Amalgamated appealed to Mayor Hylan who attempted to arrange conference between Judge Mayer the Amalgamateds committee and B. R. T. officials. The conference never came about and the strike today resulted.
 Receiver Garrison issued this statement tonight:
 As we received no notice of the strike and had an existing agreement, and so all the information procured by us and the police up to 3 o'clock this morning was that there would be no strike, it was impossible to operate any of the surface cars and comparatively few of the su6- way and elevated trains.
 The notormen of the subway and the signal1nen and towermen have respected their contracts and are available for work (these men are not members of the Amalgamated) Within comparatively short time we can instruct sufficient new guards and conductors to improve mate rially the elevated and subway service.
 It will take longer on the surface lines. Grover A. Whalen, commissioner of plant and structures, announced to- night that 500 municipal buses would be ready tomorrow to carry stranded Brooklynites over twenty emergency ro1tes. He estimated the buses would carry 100000 people during the day.
 Patrick J. Shea, a leader of the strik- CTS, said tonight 1000 out of 13,00C employees of the B. R. T. are out. He declared the entire fight with the com pany hinges on it's refusal to arbitrate When the strike of August, 1919, was settled. he said, the B. R. T. agreed tc arbitrate all disputes with the union.
 Commissioner Whalen sent request tonight to all bus owners and operators in New York, New Jersey, Connecticu and Massachusetts to supply as many vehicles as possible to help relieve the strike congestion.

 NEW YORK HAS ENDED


 New York, Aug. 2s.-The baggage strike. which caused great inconvenience to. visitors to New York, ended today, when the striking employees of transfer companies voted to resume work tornor- row.
