Being Assured.

Herald Bureau,
No. 1902 II street, n. W.,
yVush I'm rfnu II O. Sunday


Major General Leonard Wood was asked
tonight, in a letter addressed to him at
Boston by Senator William e. Borah, of
Idaho, to state his position with respect
to the League of Nations. This is in fur
therance of the effort of the Republican
"irreconcilables" in the Senate to put every
aspirant for the Republican and Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination on record
on this issue, so as to have it before the
people in cleancut form in the national
election next November.
Senator Borah asked General Wood two
questions:-First whether he is in favor
of giving the people an opportunity TO ex-
polls. and. second. whether, if elected
President. he will personally seek TO up
hold the traditional policy of the United
States of keeping out of "entangling alli-
snces." or will agree to have this country
enter league in partnership with Euro
pean and Asiatic nations?"
This is the second letter addressed by
Senator Borah TO a Republican candidate
for the Presidential nomination. The
first was to Governor Lowden. of Illinois
and brought forth the information that
the Governor favors the ratification of
the treaty with the Lodge reservations. as
approved by majority of the Republican
Serators. This does not satisfy the Re-
publican ''irreconciables." who want the
league killed IN its entirety. They will not
vote for ratification of the peace treaty
even with the Lodge reservations.
The reason that General Wood has not
heretofore made public announcement OF
his views on the league is understood by
his friends here to be that he does not
want to take issue publicly with President
Wilson so long as he is in the army. There
have been published reports from time to

FINDS $50 NOTE
Coroner Bullock However Soon Locates
Owner TO Whom He Re turned
Money

Coroner Bullock had another strange
experience yesterday afternoon, following
close on his mishap of Saturday night,
when while returning from Shellpot Park,
his pocket was picked. The Coroner was
investigating the death of the Negro who
died at the Delaware hospital about a
week ago, after being injured by the
caving in of wall at the Topkis store,
SIS Market street.
Upon coming out of the cellar the
Coroner glanced toward the ground and
to his amazement, saw what looked like a
s. bill on the ground. He picked it up to
examine it and was complimenting him
self on his good luck, when after an in
quiry he made he returned the money to
a man who had dropped it just a short
time before.
The Coroner said that he thought he
was being reimbursed for his loss on
Saturday night, but as he lost only 40
cents, the $50 could not have been meant
for him anyway.
