LA TOILETTE TO
FIGHT TREATY TO
HIS FULL POWER
Senator Declares Himself With
Borah And Reed, Irreconcil-
ables Against League

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. = fBy
Associated Press.) - The new quild
ruple treaty to preserve peace in the
Pacific was formally signed today by
the plenipotentiaries of the United
States, Great Britain, France and Ja-
pan in the anteroom of the office
of Secretary of State Hughes. There
was no formal ceremony.
The new pact will reach the senate,
it is expected, within short time.
The American reservations were
in regard to the Island of Yap and
the. provision that domestic questions
of the various powers not be co1sid-)
cred within the scope of the treaty.
Declaring the new four power Pa
cific treaty has "all the inqiuities
Of the League of Nations, with none
Of the virtues claimed for that docu-
ment," Senator LaFollette, of Wis
consin, today announced in formal
statement that he was prepared to
do "all in my power to prevent its
ratification"
The attack on the document opens
ed in the senate yesterday from two
"irreconcilables" in the Versailles
covenant controversy, Senator Boz
rah, Republican, Idaho, and Reed,
Democrat, Missouri. Breaking the
silence he had maintained since the
treaty was laid before the world
Mr.. Borah spoke more than an hour
devoting his attention to article two
of the new treaty which he compared
to article ten of the Versailles COW
enant He declared that the traty
compelled the armament conference
to make "real disarmament" and ae-
tuality or make the treaty "a
straight out military alliance"
Defense of the pact, conducted
largely by Senator Poindexter, Repub-
lican, Washington, resulted in the
opening of the whole question of
what obligations were entailed upon
The United States by the new agree
ment. Senator Poindexter told the
senate that some seemed unduly
alarmed about the pact and declared
that article two could not be con-
strued as the equivalent of article
ten.
Senator Reed, breaking into the
debate at this point, said Senator
Poindexter's astatement meant that
the new treaty was worth little as
binding agreement. He added that
if the United States was not going
to observe its moral oblagitons, such
as he contended were contained in
the treaty, the country would become
"the laughing stock of the whole
world"

RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLE

Southern business enterprises. John
j. Eagan, prominent young business
man, has just been elected, to take

the American Cast Iron Pipe compa-
by Of Birmingham, and the platform

Mr.. Eagan, we'll known locally as
philanthropist and prominent lay
man Of the Central Presbyterian
church, as well as an able business

Secretary Hoover says today in that

that sit has frequently been contend
ed that the distribution of the popt-

prior TO that enumeration there was
q great movement from rural to ur-

at the request Of various interests

the idea being that more accurate
statistics could be obtained concern

canvas was made shortly after the

PUNISH EVERY
DRAFTEVADER,
HARRIS URGES
Adiutant General Saws 1t Is I'm
perative For Future-Pro-
poses Rewards

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Ener-
oofic pursuit and punishment of the
more than 100000 men who avaded
the draft during the World War is
rrgently recommended by Major
General Harris, adjutant general Of
the army, in his report made public
today by the secretary Of war. To
bring those guilty to trial, he rec
ommends that congress appropriate
S25O,OOO to pay rewards of $50 for
each draft deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
at is imperative" he declares,
that the government exhibit the
greatest possible energy in pursuing
these men and in Furnishing all who
are found guilty, If the government
permit these deserters to escape pun
lshment provided for their offense,
consequences of tn gravest import
viii crtainly ensue.
"Inaction of this sort would tend to
set a premium evasion of military
service, with the inevitable result
that, should another national emer-
qancy arise and another selective
draft be put in operation, the num-
Der of men attempting to evade the
performance of military duty will
mount to a figure so large as to inn
peril the Nation through interfering
very seriously with the rapid build
ing-up of an emergency army"
General Harris says the publica-
ton. of the "slacker lists" by the
newspapers proved highly useful for
the purpose of Strengthening out the
records of a number of non-wilful
descrters whose names were included
therein, despite all the care and eff
fort expended in an attempt to in
ciude none but those of willful de-
sortcrs and says these have been re-
moved from the lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported desertions from the regular
army in the fiscal year ended last
June totalled 1869 or 4.57 per
cent, the largest percentage since
1909, and nearly four times as great
as that in the preceding fiscal year
He says the marked increase proba-
bly, can be accounted for 'by the fact
that the vast majority of the desert
ers were new recruits who found the
army discipline more irksome than
they had anticipated
"The number of reported deser-
tions," he adds, rs in excess of the
number Of actual desertions as many
of the men will be. returned to mill
taly control and acquitted of the
-harge Of descrtion, while others will
be convicted Of the lesser offense Of
absent without leave"
