 T think we can dismiss from our. minds the idea that it is necessary to stipulate in connection with article 10 the constitutional methods we should use in fulfilling our obligations under it. We gain nothing by such Stipula- tions and secure nothing already se- cured. It was understood as a mat ter of course at the conference in Paris that whatever obligations any government assumed or whatever du- ties it undertook under the treaty would have to be fulfilled by it's usual and established constitutional methods of action. Once or twice in meetings of the conference, when the treaty was under consideration, reservations were made to that effect by the repreSen- tatives of individual powers, and these reservations were invariably received in the way in which men who have met for business and not for talk all ways receive acts of scrupulous super rogation-listened to with indifferent silence as such men listen to what is a matter of course and was not neceS- sary to say.
 Says Congressional Power Implied
 sThere can be no objection to ex- plaining again what our constitutional method is and that our congress alone can declare war or determine the causes or occasions for war, and that it alone can authorize the use Of the armed forces of the United states on land or on the sea. But to make such a declaration would certainly De a work of Supererogation.
 q am sorry to say reservations that have come under my notice are almost without exception, not interpretations of the articles to which it is proposed to attach them but in effect virtual notifications of those articles.
 Any reservations which seeks to deprive the league of nations Of the force of Article 10 cuts at the very heart and life of the covenant itself Any league of nations which does not guarantee as a matter of incontest- able right the political independence and integrity of each of it's members might be hardly more than a futile scrap of paper, as ineffective in opera tion as the agreement between Bel gium and Germany which the Germans in 1914. Article 10 represents Japan which before the war had begun to find so many interests in common in the Pacific; by France; by Italy by all the great fighting powers of the world of the old pretensions of politi- cal conquest and territorial aggTan- dizement. It is a new doctrine in tho worlds affairs and must be recognized or there is no secure basis for the peace which the world so longingly desires and so desperately needs. If Article 10 is not adopted and acted upon, the governments which reject it will, I think, be guilty of bad faith to their people whom they induced to make the infinite sacrifices of the war by the pledge that they would be fighting to redeem the world from the

 Statistics as to exports are not available, but there are large quanti- ties of hemp, flax. wool, wheat, butter and eggs, besides other commodities. Thes harvests of 1915 and 1916 are in part untouched. Clothes, shoes, med icines and manufactured articles are needed The basis of payment for such articles must be worked out pending economic rehabilitation of Russia.
 We have no illusions on the pres ent state of our credit. We will make few promises, but are prepared to keep all obligations we contract.

TO HALT GAMBLER
Sen. Capper Would ssTax Away
; Deals in Grain Futures.
Wants Ten Per Cent Levy on
Speculative Purchases.

Washington, Nov. s.-Prevention
of gambling in grain futures thru a
prohibitive tax on all speculative deals
in grain is to be sought by Senator
Capper, Kansas, as the chief item in
a program of legislation which he in
tends to propose soon after congress
meets next week.
Capper. who arrived in Washington
today, said the anti-grain gambling
bill probably will provide for tax of
10 per cent of the value of the goods
involved on all speculative deals in
grain. This would practically prohibit
such deals, he said.
Other items in Capper's program in
clude establishment of the war
finance corporation to provide credit
for home manufacturers and farmers;
provision for credit to foreign nations
to stimulate foreign trade; strict gov
ernmental economy and reduction of
the vast army of government clerks.
He also plans to urge immediate re-
turn to the United States of all Amer
lean soldiers now on foreign soil.

Alliance, declared today.
Bowlby defended himself against
the attacks of ministers of the gospel,
moving picture magnates and others
who assatled the announced plan of
the alliance to enact Sunday observ-
ance laws and enforce those now on
the statute books. He declared the
pastors who attack the blue laws
had not informed themselves fully.
Others who criticised the proposed
laws may have been actuated by greed,
he declared.
The alliance is proceeding with its
plans. he said. State organizations are
being formed and campaigns against
Sunday sports and Sunday movies are
being agitated in the middle west and
along the Pacific coast.
State organizations -zill be charged
with drafting whatever Sunday laws
are deemed necessary. Where laws
already exist, amendments with
teeth in them" will be presented.
Bowlby declared
Necessary work would not be
stopped on Sunday. he said, but there
should be an elimination of the unnec-
essary.

ADMIT MAIL THEFT
Master Mind in Council Bluffs
Crime COnfesses.
CaptOrs Took No Chances of
His Escaping en- Route.

Kansas City, Nov. 2s.-Keith Col
Inns, in custody of federal officers
here, signed a confession admitting
his participation in the mail train
robbery at Council Bluffs, Iowa, postal
inspectors announced today.
The alleged confession, made to
Postal Inspector johnson. relates that
Collins burned all of the loot he is said
to have received except $500, which
the postal authorities said they found
on his person when they arrested him
at Westville, Okla, yesterday. Col
Inns, according to the authorities,
feared the bond and other valuable Sc
curities were marked and for that rea-
son decided to destroy them.
Collins, according to the alleged con-
fession, said he did not know the value
of the loot he received and declared
he had burned it.
With Collins's alleged confession,
postal inspectors believe they have
definitely cleared up the looting of the
mail car at Council Bluffs two weeks
ago, characterized by federal officers
as the biggest mail robbery in the his
tory of the postoffice department.
The other members of the band al
legged to have been implicated in the
robbery are under arrest at Council
Bluffs. Collins will be returned to
Council Bluffs.

cape in mind, Collins was brought into
Kansas City heavily guarded and care
fully ironed. There were no signs of
the captors fraternizing with the pris-
oner And commands for the march
thru the crowd at Union station were
as hard boiled" as those of a regular
army sergeant to a squad of rockies.
In appearance. Collins was far from
the natty army officer he is alleged
TO have impersonated. Soiled were his
khaki breeehes. High laced yellow
boots, a greenish gray cap and a
mackinaw, gave him more the appear
ance of an oil man. He appeared to
smile at the interest displayed by the
station crowd.
Inspectors say Collins admits he
participated in the robbery, but in
sists he did not get the $4,000 off
cials say he got. Only $500 was found
on his person at the time of arrest, in
SpectorS said.

Seal Dollars
100 Per Cent
For 7. B. Fight

Every dollar from the sale of the
Christmas health seals will go into the
fight for human lives in Kansas-the
big smash to beat back the invasion
of the white plague-tuberculosi
For twelve years the Christmas seal
sale has paid the way for the fight on
tuberculosis in this state And records
kept for period of seven years show
that money from the sale of the little
stickers-the health bonds-has per-
mitted an organization which has de-
creased the T. B. death rate in the
state 1873 per cent.
None of the money from the Christ
mas seal campaign goes to the Red
Cross. In former years the big organ
ization with a heart and soul coop
Grated in making the Christmas seal
drive success. But It received only
5 per cent =. the gross revenues. This
money barely met the Red Cross ac-
tual printing expense. Now the tuber-
culosis associations are making their
fight Independently. 1t is a life and
death battle, too. Those dollars mean
human lives. And if they don't come
during the season of cheer and good
will, human lives will pay the price of
Kansas neglect.
While there is in no manner a re-
lationship between the tuberculosis
and Red Cross campaigns, the heart
interest of the two organizations is
Identical Both work for humanity.
1t was with this full sense of the inn
portance of the campaign that Liv-
ingston Farrand, chairman of the Red
Cross central committee, gave the
Christmas seal campaign heartiest en-
dorsement.
81 am naturally watching with very
great interest" Farrand wrote regard
ing the Christmas seal drive. There
has never been a time when united ef-
fort in the health field was more need
ed in the country and the world than
now, and of all the aspects of the
health problem, that of tuberculosis
takes first place.
