IDy Associated Press. |

KNOXVILLE, TENN. Oct. 25.--Sen :
ator Oscar w. Underwood, Demo
cratic floor leader OF the Senate. here
tonight replied TO the challenge of
Senator Warren G. Harding that tho
Democrats had cost the nation untold
MILLIONS, and the loss of the lives OF
American soldiers by unpreparedness
| for n war persisted in for political
purposes; that they were equally un-
prepared for peace and reconstruction,
and that they were grotesqueiy in
| efficient.
| He briefly brushed aside Republi-
cam criticism of the league with n
comparison OF Article III, Of the
league TO enforce peace, favored by
| Taft, Lodge. Roosevelt and others
which. he said, Is even more drastic
than Article y.
Did Nothing for Army or Nnvy.
Senator Underwood said that in
nifty years of Republican rule nothing
had been done to provide the United
states with fleet, tina, right after
the War Between the States the Re-
! pubiicans scrapped the American
army down to $4,000. and that not
until the administration of Grover
Cleveland had any steps been taken
to rchabliate either. He charged
Senator Harding with failure to per-
form his duty rs n public official IL
he was forewarncd OF the war, and
did not urge preparedness in the SEN
ate. and then pointed to the record
I,f In In {ptr 4; :.
leading fights on the floor. which. he
said. was nil.
! In reply to the charge Of grotesque
inefticiency. he said that the Demo-
! Gratis had to point to one law only,
the Federal reserve act, to disapprove
that charge. He pointed to three
panics in fifty years under the Repub-
lican National Bank act. in the at
I tempt OF the Republicans to pass the
Aldrich reserve plan, which would
have placed the power over the r.
nances of the country in Il privately
owned central bank In New York.
Points to G. O. T.. Failure.
| The charge Of failure to provide for
! peace and reconstruction, he said.
was not up to the Democratic party.
but one for which the Republicans
alone were responsible, as the power
to make the laws TO accomplish it
was given to them by the people
in the election OF 1918. He said the
! Republicans had failed 10 repeal cer1
tain wartime taxes as urged by Pres
| ident wilson. because they wanted TO
| walt until there was a Republican
| President in the White House. so they
could legislate the taxes OFF the backs
| of certain people and onto those Of
/ others.
Senator Underwood stated this was
his. last speech OF the campaign, as
! he was returning TO Alabama TO
( spend the last week OF the campaign
: in his own race.

The fall Of Constantine had been

representative OF the three great
powers. on the ground that this step
would establish unity Of feeling
among the Greeks and greater Sc
