Tho hissing of Senator John Sharp Williams by the audience u tho sen ate gallery Tuesday, when ho under took to reply to Senator Henry Ca lot Lodge, Is the outstanding Imi dent of tho week, making a profound linprosswn on persons on all sides of the league question. The fact Unit this mania-station, the llrst ot Us kind ever wltuesBe.l In tho Ullltod Htntes capltol, wan led by a group or "devil dogs", who Helped to turn tho (iunnans back at Chateau Thierry, has been pointed Ul by oppoonts of the league of nations us testifying to Hie aningon- 1 ' America s returned deieuders to the covenant framed In I'aris.

Air. lins ing's mental alibi was so perfectly jstabllshed that his InnuiBltors gave .ip in despair. Tho status of tho league fight In the senate may be summed uj as follows: There are 41 senators who would vote for the league covenant with out change; .10 senators sland ready o vote to reject the treaty and co venant in their entirety. The re maining 22 senators believe that tho treaty and covenant run be modified lo eliminate tho present objections.
