Weeks Issues Order
That John Fortescue
Not Be Allowed to
Address West Point
Cadets as Scheduled
for Today

Washington, Nov. 10.-Brig. Gen.
Slayden, commander Of the Military
Academy at West Point. has been
directed by Secretary Weeks to re-
call an invitation. given to John
Fortescue, president Of the Royal
Historical Society, to address the
cadets on Armistice Day. A for
NAL statement issued today by the
War Secretary, said the reason for
his action was found in statements
contained in a recent book written
by Fortescue. entitled British
Statesmen Of the Great War"
The secretary quoted this pas
sage:
Americans eteem q good bar
sain, even if gained by dishonorable
means, to mark the highest form
of ability. The United States can
not engage in any form Of COM
petition with US, from athletics to
diplomacy, without using foul
play. They must win. if not by
fair skill, then by pre-arranged
trickery or violence; if not by open
negotiations then by garbled maps
and forged documents. NThere is
the fact. 1t may be unpleasant,
but it can not be denied
''An author entertaining these
sentiments, Mr.. Weeks said, lis
not considered to be proper per-
son to address the students Of a
government academy
Mr.. Fortescue is understood to
be visiting the United States for
the purpose Of delivering a series
Of lectures.

Tremendous Gains

Chicago. Nov. ga continuation
of Republican control in congress,
but with a majority Of 165 in the
house slashed to Is, and a senate
majority cut in two, was assured
tonight by practically complete but
nnofHcial reports from last Tues
days elections.
Close races and belated returns
left the exact majority in doubt
since election. but on the face OF
tabulated returns tonight the 6Sth
house of representatives will be
composed Of 225 Republicans, 2O7
Democrats, one Socialist, one
Farmer-Labor and one Independent
In the senatorial contest, late
returns which indicated the elec-
ton of Lynn j. Frazier, recalled
Non Partisan league governor in
North Dakota. and the victory of
Clarence c.. Dill, Democrat. in
Warrington, did not change the gen.
eral complexion Of the upper
house.
These returns forecast that tire
next senate would have 53 Repub-
licans, loss of seven, ~ Demo
Gratis and one Farmer-Labor sena-
tor from Minnesota.
In the Washington senatorial
race, returns from 1904 precincts
out Of the 2,446 in the state, gave
Dill 127,597 and Miles Poindexter,
Republican incumbent, 123.417.
The victory of Frazier, Republi-
can, in North Dakota, was conceded
late today by T. G. Nelson, state
secretary of the Independent Vot-
ers' association, supporting J.<F. I.
.o'Connor, Democrat, Frazier's op-
ponent.
Retention Of Republican majori-
ties in both the senate and the
house was declared to be very
gratifying in a statement issued
by John T. Adams. chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Mr.. Adams attributed the out
come of the election to unrest fol-
lowing the world war, an unusual
prominence of local issues over
national issues, the use of fake is
sues" to befog the general situation
and the tendency of people to vote
for a change in Off years.
Discomfort looking for a sacri-
fee was the way Gov. II. j.
Allen of Kansas analyzed the elec-
ton results.

Tells Senate That

Alone Against Ger
many II Brussels
Conference Fails to
Give Sat;sfac ction

Paris, Nov. 8 (By the Associat-
ed Press) Poincare told
the senate this evening that the
French goernment had decided to
act alone with respect to Germany
,, if the Brussels conference failed to
give France satisfaction He ex-
pressed the opinion that no gener-
al settlement of the reparations
problems was possible unless the
question Of interallied debts was
solved at the same time. -.
France is not imperialistic.' he
declared. 81 can say that she is
the least imperialistic OF the ma
tons, but she has rights to defend.
We do not contemplate any per-
sonal action before the Brussels
conference, but if we, do not OBJ
tain satisfaction there is nothing in
the world that can prevent US
from acting alone in the sullness of
our rights"
There is not one Frenchman
who doubts the solidarity o
France, and no foreigner has the
right to doubt it." Premier Pom
care declared.
The premier rejected the idea of
establishing customs barrier
along the Rhine for the benefit OF
the allies on the ground that It
! would result simply in turning
traffic in other. directions.
The question Of resorting to COM
pulsion against Germany to. force
her to execute her obligations will
be taken up at the Brussels cen-
ference, he said. s; s.;
| The premier. was replying TO
Senator Hubert, who asserted tha.
occupation of at least partaof the
Ruhr district was indispensable bic to
bring the heads of Germansindus-
try to a reasonable attitude on the
execution of the Versailles treaty
and the payment Of German rep
arations. 80.
/ NJ. eincare agreed that ener-
getic action was necessary. but
avoided the. question of occupying
the Ruhr. He recalled that he was
ready last August to present a gem
eral plan for the payment of rep:
arations and interallied debts, but
the British cabinet issued a note
in which the debt to Great Britain
was linked with the British debt
to the United States. At the same
time, continued NJ. Poineare, Mr..
Lloyd George declared solemnly
that it was necessary to accord
a moratorium to Germany with
out charging her default against
her.
II remarked at the time" said
NJ. Poincare, that a moratorium
was a purely negative measure;
that it could not contribute to
uplifting the Reisch or the world.
4 proposed that before granting a
moratorium the allies take as
pledges 60 per cent Of the dye in
dustries and aviation and estab-
lish customs houses on the Rhine,
but I met with opposition. par
ticularly Of Belgium"

Will Aid Livestock
Government to Stimulate Use

Washington. Nov. 10-The gov
ernment has decided to come to the
aid of the livestock industry and do
whatever it can to stimulate the use
Of meat. A decrease Of more than
% pounds per person in the amount
Of meat eaten year in the United
States is shown by latest statistics.
Many persons still hold to the
belief. which was largely the out
growth Of unfair and misguided
propaga nda that meat is not heal
thy. Medical science has proven
over and over that large number
Of ills once charged to meat eating
are due to the infection of teeth,

Telegraphic Connun-

Interrupted. Lon
don Ignorant Of De-
velopments

London, Nov. 10 (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Telepgraphic COM
munication between London and
Constantinople continues inter-
rupted. The only news coming in
is reaching London slowly and
through devious routes.
Dispatches dated Wednesday, re-
ceived by the foreign and war Offices
today by naval wireless, indicated
that the allied commissioners
then still were waiting a definite
reply from the Angora government
to their demand that the Turks
recede from their attitude, which
the allies regard as out Of accord
with the Mudros and Mudanla
conventions. The dispatches show
ed that the allied representatives
also had. lodged strong protest
with Rafet Pasha, the Nationalist
governor, against the execution Of
Ali Kemal Bey, editor of Sabah,
an anti-Nationalist organ.
That the situation continues
strained is shown by the fact that
the Earl of Derby, secretary for
war, was compelled to cancel a
political engagement he had in the
North tonight. He explained that
things were in such shape as to
make his presence at the war office
absolutely imperative.
Pour parlers are continuing be-
tween the allies regarding the date
for the Lausanne conference on
Near Eastern affairs, which was
originally fixed for next week. Il IS
still believed here a postponement
will be taken until Noember 20.

Danger Draws France to England.
Paris, Nov. 10 (By the Assoeiat-
ed Press).-The success Of the al
lied powers in obtaining an armis-
tice for the Greeks is far from be-
ing decisive, Premier Poincare told
the chamber Of deputies today.
The Turkish Nationalists are no
longer in the state of mind in which
they were when they signed the
Franco-Turkish agreement, he said,
and the recent incidents showed
that full accord between France
and Great Britain was more neces-
sary than ever.
Poincare paid tribute to Lord
Curzon, the British foreign secre-
tary. for the effective part he play
ed in preventing graver develop
ments. and said his loyalty and high
minded views of the situation
weighed heavily in the balance of
peace. The Mudania peace confer
ence, however, was not personal
success, and not a French success
1t was common success, which
was far from being decisive.
In explaining the withdrawal of
the French troops from Chanak at
the time the British declared their
determination to hold the town in
the face of the Turkish advance to-
ward the Dardanelles, the premier
declared it was an error to interpret
the French action as an abandon
ment of her allies.
= Lord Curzon, he added. thought
as did the Freich government that
a show Of military force would be
insufficient to stop the Turks, and
that the position could not be de-
Tended.
Poincare said that he was very
happy to find that Lord Curzon
would remain at the head Of for
eign Office in the new British cab
met and that the latter would be
presided over by another friend OF
France in Bonar Law.
