.WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 31.
(Special.) Everybody who has suc
ceeded in maintaining, so far as the
league of nations is concerned, the
point of view of an innocent iby
etander, if there be any such left at
this stage of the campaign will take
some interest in the following ran
dom notes of one whose Job it has
been among other things, to try to
keep track of the precise position on
this issue of the two parties and the
various statesmen thereof.
In Georgia, the democratic state
convention last week adopted a plat
form declaring "our unalterable op
position to the league of nations
brought back by President Wilson
from Versailles."
Of the three candidates who ran
for the democratic nomination for
senator - from Georgia last month.
Governor "Dorsey used to state on the
stump that Franklin D. Roosevelt's
position on the league' of nations was
his position, and used to read Mr.
Roosevelt's statements as part of his
own speech; Hoke Smith used to refer
to Governor Cox's utterances on the
league, and ay that Cox's position
was his, and Tom Watson used to
say that his position was the position
of Senator Reed, that the league of
nations la a -crime and that Woodrow
Wilson Is an infamous person. But
Tom, who is a gifted linguist, used
to express it in words ' more incan
descent than these.
Watson Wins Primaries.
Watson won the primaries and will
shortly sit in the senate, the populist
candidate for vice-president In. 1896,
and now by virtue of fiery antagon
ism to the league of nations, a demo
cratic senator in good standing.
James II. Reed, democratic senator
from Missouri, is opposing the elec
tion of Cox and has found the only
activity in this campaign congenial
to his views on the league to lie in

Republican Majority in Upper
Chamber Is Two; Terms
of 15 Have Expired.
WASHINGTON, Oct 31. A new j
house of representatives and slightly,
more than one-third of. the senate
will be chosen Tuesday. While the
presidential campaign has eclipsed all
others in interest, the congressional
fights, - particularly the senatorial
contests, have received much atten
tion from the leaders of both parties.
Both Sanator Harding and Gover
nor Cox have pleaded with the voters
to elect a congress in which their re
spective parties " would have a
majority. The heads of the congres
sional and serfatorial campaign com
mittees have been especially active,
stressing the Importance of the
senatorial elections because the sen
ate, . which meets March 4, will be
called upon to dispose of the question
of peace with Germany. '
The present senate is composed of
48 republicans, one progressive re
publican and 47 democrats which on
a strict party vote has given the re
publicans a majority of two. Thirty
four senators will be elected Tuesday,
the terms of 32 expiring next March
3, and two being selected to fill un
expired terras caused by the deaths of
Senators Bankhead of Alabama and
Martin of Virginia. These two places
aro certain to be filled by democrats.
Seventeen of the 32 senators whose
terms expire are democrats and 15
republicans. The democrats to obtain
a majority must capture at least two
senatorial seats from the republicans.
Leaders of both parties are claiming
accessions to their present strength.
Four hundred and thirty-five mem
bers of the house of representatives
are to be elected Tuesday. The num
ber necessary for a majority is 218.
The present membership or the
house is 190 democrats, 232 repub
licans, two independent republicans.

Irish Appeal Is lade.
Different denominations received
different treatment at the hands of
the corps of boys hired to hand out
the broadsides. The "appeal to Chris
tians" dodger, the responsibility for
which is shouldered by a woman re
siding on the east side, again made
its appearance at most of the
churches. The Catholic congregations
were singled out for special consid
eration with a green-hued poster
appealing to friends of Irish freedom
and bearing the stamp of the demo
cratic central committee.
However, the most striking devel
opment of the day was the appear
ance of thousands of reproductions
of the cartoon of Raphael's "Immacu
late Conception," which first appeared
in Harvey's Weekly and which caused
national democratic headquarters to
make a desperate effort to place the
responsibility on the republican party.
That they were in any way concerned
with the publication of this cartoon
was denied by Chairman Hays, and
democratic headquarters here last
night denied that they were engaged
in distributing this poster. It bears
the names of R. C. Hughes, J. B. Ryan,
J. W, Myers, E. W. Gordon and J. N.
Madigan. Last night a big crew of
boys, engaged by democratic head
quarters, were placing thousands of
large posters, showing a (lead soldier,
in all parked automobiles in the
down-town section.
Gordon Dodgrera Distributed.
Whether any last-minute stuff thr.t
was new had been reserved for dis
tribution today was not stated by
democratic headquarters, though they
did state that they would go the limit
the last day with dodgers that they
could prove "the tiuth by the Con
gressional Record."
Gordon-for-mayor adherents yester
day were engaged in placing 100,000
dodgers in every home in the city and
from all indications today will see the
city carpeted with a mess of paper of
varied character. Since the campaign
started the janitors at the auditorium
have picked up more than- a ton and
a half of paper which they have baled
and sold for the benefit of the city,
which goes to show that it is an ill

Stable in War Period.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. The 8157
national banks of the country re
ported a gross revenue of $1,109,000.-
000, or 24 per cent on thrir capital.
for the fiscal year, which ended June
SO, said a statement today by John
Skelton Williams, controller of the
currency. This, Mr. Williams said,
was a new high record.
Only five banks went into the
hands of receivers during the year, a
record exceeded only by that of the
year before, when there were no
failures.
Mr. Williams declared the national
banks had met the "severe test" of
war and reconstruction in a way that
proved their "solid strength and the
wisdom and fidelity" of those who
direct them.
"The facts and figures," he added,
"must give the American people and
the world Increased confidence in the
safety and power of the banking
business Interests of this country."
Earnings of the banks came
largely from interest and discount,,
Mr. Williams said, although $97,000.
000 was obtained from exchange and
collection charges and other miscel
laneous sources.
Losses charged off by the banks
were distributed as follows: $31,
000,000 on loans and discounts: $61,
700,000 on bonds and other secjrities.
and $21,000,000 on miscellaneous
losses. The banks paid interest to
depositors aggregating $287,600,000,
their reports showed. Their taxes
amounted to $79,400,000.
"The shrinkage in the value of our
principal commodities and articles of
production during the fiscal year end
ing October 31." Mr. Williams said.
"Is the greatest in commercial his
tory, not only in amount, but in the
proportion of the decline to former
values. It amounts to billions of dol
lars. No six years in the history of
the world have brought convulsions
and changes so tremendous or intense.
The manner in which our banks have
endured these ordeals is an impres
sive indication that they were not
tempted from the ways of safety and
honesty by the excitement of infla
tion." RED OFFENSIVE STARTS
Bolshevik! Launch Drive on Forces

SEBASTOPOLs Oct. 29. (By the

church dignitaries, scores of his for

sands of his countrymen, the body of
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork, was lowered to its resting place
in the "republican plot" In St. Fin

this afternoon.
Despite the splendor lent by the
attendance of the high churohmen.
there was a simplicity marking the
ceremonies that was impressive Out
side the cemetery, hidden by the,
crowd of townspeople, two armored
cars, machine guns ready, and a half
dozen lorries filled with fully
equipped soldiers, were drawn up. Im

the city hall through the streets

"vice-president of the Irish republic,"
came behind him. One hundred and
eighty priests headed the procession.
They were followed by acolytes and
high church dignitaries. Then camo

women mourners.
Wreaths Sent By Americans.
Volunteers, each carrying floral
pieces, formed an outer column on
each sldo of the procession. A cor
don of volunteers held back the lines
of bareheaded spectators who over
ran the sidewalks. Wreaths sent by
Americans were noticeable among
the floral pieces.
As the clergy were leaving the
graveside after the body had been
lowered, six men who were admitted
within the circle formed by the
volunteers, took positions over the
grave and fired a revolver salute of
three volleys.
Mr. Griffith, In paying a tribute to
MacSwiney's life work, declared that
Joan of Arc "would find In tho mar
tyred lord mayor a worthy comrade
in heaven."
