under the rule requiring a unanimou
v o r e.
There was only one case in which
the assembly could decide an Impor
tant nuestion. he said, and that wa
when ouch a question was unanimously
referred to it by the council. The
emr.lv also must act unanimously, he
arirlrd. o that in either council or as
aemblv the one vote of the United
fctates would constitute a veto power.
The unanimous rule, added the presi
dent, seemed to him the only weakness
of the league, but it was a weakness
in the direction of throwing a safe
guard around national sovereignty.
ltai" DUaaiaard From Mind.
Mr. Wilson also discussed at length
proposed reservations to the treaty and
asked for its unqualified acceptance.
He asked the republicans present not
"to think of 1920 when thinking or the
redemption of the world." adding that
he himself did not for a moment do so.
America's acceptance of the peace
treaty must be unqualified, the presi
dent declared, if It is to end promptly
the spirit of unrest throughout the
world. Any chance which would make
the ratification conditional, be sa'd,
would reopen the negotiations and pro
long doubt and uncertainty.
Mr. Wiiaon said he saw no moral ob
jection to interpretations which would
not chance the meaning or tne aocu
znent. but added that such a utep would
merely be to say that the United States
understands the treaty to mean what
it says.
War lamaraaee Waated.
Repeating many of his previous
declarations regarding the treaty"s
provisions, the president asked the
crowd at the Armory whether they did
not think some insurance against war
was better than none and there were
cries of "yes. yes." followed by cheers.
Not one of the qualifications sug
tested to the league of nations cove
tiant was warranted, declared the
president. Under the withdrawal
clause, he asserted, the nation Itself
would Judge whether It had performed
Its International obligations. That was
a matter, he added, which never could
or would be left to the Judgment of
any other nation.
In effect. Mr. Wilson declared, the
language of the covenant made the
right of withdrawal unconditional. He
was cheered when he asserted that as
an American he was sure the United
States never would fail to fulfill its
obligations.
Sverelgty Kept Safe.
Taking up the proposed reservations
to article 10 the president said the
vote of the United States would be re-
Quired to insure any decision ' of the
league council.
"Vet I hear gentlemen say." he con
tinued, "that this Is a violation of our
sovereignty. If it is anything, it is
an exaggeration of our sovereignty.
This extends our sovereignty to say
ing whether other nations shall go to
war or not."
Digressing to say there was an "ele
ment of bitterness 'n the league con
troversy." the president said some peo
ple seemed to think that "a man named
Wilson" had originated the league. Add
ing that he wished he had done so, the
president asserted that on the contrary
the idea had grown out of years of dis
cussion, largely on the part of repub
lican statesmen.
Many men had eaid to him, continued
the president. "I am a republican, but
I am in favor of the league of na
tions." Continuing that the republican
party always had prided itself in being
a party of construction. Mr. Wilson
said if he were a republican he would
say, "I am a republican and therefore I
am for the league of nations."
War Power Left With Congress.
It had been proposed at Paris, eaid
the president, that the covenant pro
vide .that the met bers should auto
matically be at war with a covenant
breaker. But he added that he had op
posed the suggestion because it would
take away from congress the power to
declare war.
"I fought that fight." said Mr. Wilson
while the crowd cheered, "and I won it.
They don't have to fight it over again."
On the proposed Monroe doctrine res
ervation, the president said the peace
conference tried to define the doctrine
as clearly as possible.
'"That is the most extraordinary sen
tence in the document." he continued.
"Because up to that time there wasn't
a great power In the world that was
willing to admit the validity of the
Monroe doctrine."
It was "absolutely irrational," said
Mr. Wilson to ask for anything more.
Domestic Questions Reserved.
"Domestic questions, too. the presi
dent said, were fully reserved to na
tional decision. The only way to make
it clearer, he said, was to list those
questions, adding:
"The danger of making a list is that
the mention of the things you mention
constitutes the exclusion of the things
you don't mention."
"Ah, but someone may seek to seize
our territory, impair our political in
dependence." said the president. "Well,
who? Who has an arm long enough
who has an audacity great enough to
try to take a single inch of American
territory, or to seek to interfere for
one moment with the political Inde
pendence of the United States? These
gentlemen are dreaming of things that
can't happen. And I cannot bring my
self to feel uneasy about things that I
know are not so. The great difficulty
In this discussion as in so many others.
is the number of things that men know
are not so.
"But the Monroe doctrine I must ad
mit to you, my fellow-citizens, I don't
know how the Monroe doctrine could
be made any more explicit except that
it was In the covenant of the league of
nations. It says that nothing in the
covenant shall be interpreted as Im
pairing the validity of the Monroe doc
trine. What more could you say? I
did try while I was in Paris to define
the Monroe doctrine and get it written
into the document, but I will confess to
you in confidence that when I tried to
define it I found that It escaped an
alysis. And that all you could say was
that it was a principle with regard
to the interference of foreign powers in
the politics of the western hemisphere,
which the United States felt at liberty
to apply in any circumstances where
it thought it pertinent.
"Now, that is not a definition. That
means that the United States means to
play big brother to the western hem
isphere in any circumstances where It
thinks It wise to play big brother. And
therefore. Inasmuch as you cannot or
would not define the Monroe doctrin
at least I would not because I do not
know how soon we may want to ex
tend It inasmuch as we do not want
to define it. what more" could you say
than that nothing in that instrument
shall impair the validity of the Monroe
ooctnneT
I tell you. my fellow citizens, that
Is the most extraordinary sentence In
that treaty for this reason: Up to
that time there was not a nation in
the world that was willing to admit
the validity of the Monroe doctrine.
Domestic Affairs Kxelnded.
"But there is the question of domes
tics of their interference with domes
tic policies, immigration, naturaliza
tion, tourists matters of that sort.
There again I can't understand or feel
the weight of the difficulty, because
the covenant says that the council of
the league of nations, if any inter
national difficulty is brought under
discussion, it one of the parties claims
and the council finds that it Is a mat
ter of domestic Jurisdiction, shall cease
to discuss It and shall make no re
port about it. And the only way you
could make the document more clear
would be by enumerating domestic
questions, which y.ou had in mind.
"Very well. I ask any lawyer here
if that would be safe. Mightn't you be
In danger of leaving out some?
Mightn't you be In danger of not men
tioning something that would after
wards become important? The danger
of making a list is that the mention
of the things you mention constitutes
the exclusion of the things you do not
mention." . .

America Out of League.
COEUR D'ALEXE. Idaho. Sent. 12.
A world again aflame with war unless
the peace treaty is accepted was pic
tured by President Wilson In an ad
dress here today.
America was face to face, he de
clared. with a decision as to whether
she "would prove to the world that she
meant what she said In promising to
aid in a peace concert.
Making his only address in the home
state of Senator Borah, one of the bit
terest opponents of the treaty, the
president spoke In a big tent. It was
not filled. D. W. Davis, governor of
Idaho, introduced Mr. Wilson while the
crowd stood and cheered.
While he could understand why men
might differ as to details of the treaty,
Mr. Wilson said he was "amazed" that
some men wanted to reject it .alto
pettier. It was America that saved the
world, he declared, and now it was
proposed in some quarters to "desert
the world.
Treaty With Austria Similar.
The forthcoming treaty with Austria.
said the president, would be drawn
along exactly the same lines" as that
with Germany, and would be another
step In the effort to prevent another
attempt at conquest. He asserted that
tne Held ror future conquest lay direct-
y to the east of Germany, and that
Germany already was negotiating with
he bolshevist government of Russia
n the hone of finding soil there for
ndustrial and political intrique.
It was the peace treaty with Its
league of nations covenant, he assert
ed, which alone could prevent the suc
cess of such a plan.
"Germany wants us to stay out of
this treaty, said the president.
oi unaer tne delusion tnat we
would seek to aid her. but with the
nowledge that the guarantees would
not be sufficient without America.
She wants to see America alienated

herself has been alienated."

ORPU BILLS DHHSEUSE
ALICE EIS TO BE FEATURED IX
ACT OPEXIXG TOMORROW.
by
Headliner Is Sensational Success
From Xew York; Jazz Band From
Tennessee Also Starred.
One of the latest dancing acts in big-
time vaudeville will be the headline
feature of the Orpheum show to open
omorrow afternoon at the Heilig the-
ter for an engagement of four full
ays. It is the offering of the popular
anseuse. Alice Eis, who is presenting
new series of songs and dances in
hich she is assisted by James Tem-
pleton.
The Shadow of Pajay," a dance that
won sensational success in its New
York premier, is the feature of the
headline act. In this specialty Miss
is portrays a woman who is pursued
conscience which is represented by
black shadow. This shadow effect
the latest novelty in dancing.
Miss Els is a creator as well as being
talented as a singer and dancer. Several
seasons ago she astounded New York
with a stage effect that made the stage
mass of soap bubbles. Until this sea
son Miss Ims was accompanied in her
dancing acts by Bert French, who has
ft the stage to devote all his time to
he production of dancing acta for big-
me vaudeville.
The extra feature of the show head
lined by Miss Bis is the act of Raloh
Dunbar's "Tennessee Ten." a jazz band
composed entirely of real colored mu
sicians. "Slow Kid" Thompson, a leader
with a thousand eccentric steps and
gestures, directs the colored entertain
ers. The "Tennessee Ten" was the
leading act here two years ago in the
Orpheum's ballyhoo around 'the hotels
in behalf of the Red Cross matinee.
The new Orpheum show will be held
over for an extra performance next
Wednesday night.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 12. When Senator
Hiram W. Johnson of California stepped
on the stage of the coliseum tonight to
plead for the dereat of the league of
nations covenant in its present form, he
was given an ovation that lasted 18
minutes. The coliseum was packed to
the doors and hundreds were turned
away.
As soon as Senator Johnson made his
appearance the crowd rose to its feet
waved flags and cheered. Finally the
band ended theu nusual demonstration
by playing "The Star-Spangled Ban
nor."
The crowd shouted: "What's the mat
ter with Johnson, he s all right, for
several minutes when Dr. John A. Si
mond. a prominent democrat, rose to
introduce Senator Johnson. President
Wilson spoke from the samep latform
a week ago.
Liberty Alleged In Prril.
"The United tSates senate today
stands between you and your liberty.
said Senator Johnson in beginning his
address. "In my brief career I have
never failed to accept a challenge from
an opponent, whether he be a president
or an humble citizen.
'I want to deny Mr. Wrilson s charge
that the American people are quitters
f they refuse to approve the league of
nations. The American people never
quit. When Mr. Wilson went to Paris
to demand his 14 points ana came nome
without them, the American people did
not quit; somebody else quit."
Senator Johnson brought the crowd
to Its feet cheering when he declared:
'The real question in this controversy
is whether we are to do our duty as
we see it in the future or whether we
are to be subject to tne win oi ureal
Britain and Japan."
The crowd hissed several times when
Great Britain was mentioned.
Treaty to "Protect Spoils." j
"The real purpose of the league of
nations is to guarantee the things that
the peace treaty provides," Senator
Johnson said. "Our allies want us to
protect the spoils given them by this
peace treaty. That was why the presi
dent insisted on combining into one
document the peace treaty and the
league of nations.
"Did the president, when he was
here, explani why Great Britain was
given sjx votes in the league of na
tions and the United States only one,'
There were shouts of "No."
"Of course he'didrrt and he never
will because he can't," said' the senator.
There were hisses when the speaker
said the president had declared that
article ten of the league of nations
was only a moral obligation.
"The Monroe doctrine is handed over
to the sinister foreign powers by Mr.
Wilson and his league of nations," said
Senator Johnson. "We don t have to
become the partners of burglars simply
because we can't prevent burglary.
Speaking at a city club luncheon at
t o'clock. Senator Johnson said, in
part:
War Epithets Oatworn.
Mr. Wilson has two favorite argu
ments, not unknown to a certain class
of lawyers. He adopts the methods of
the bad case and denounces his op
ponents. He endeavors to frighten
them with epithets of pro-Germanism,
to which he himself became accustomed
from August, 1914, to April, 1917. and
when the full effect of this belated and
now obsolete charge is not apparent,
he adopts the second line of denuncia
tion cf entrenched power and shouts
bolshevist, a characterization with
which he is quite familiar.
The day Is past, thank Gpd, when
American citizens can be swerved from
their duty by outworn war epithets.
Naively, the president remarks that se
cret treaties hampered him at the peace
conference and embarrassed the whole
settlement. Inferentially, he concedes
the wickedness of these secret treaties,
but he was neither hampered nor em
barrassed to such a degree as to cause
lilm t- stand manfully and courageous
ly for his oft-expressed-principles. He
wrote these secret treaties, condemned
not only by him but by the rifhteous
opinion of the world, into his treaty.
He made it impossible b article 10
of his league to rlsht the wrongs of
the territorial grabs of the secret
treaties."
smiles frequently, the smile being re
flected by Mrs. Wilson, sitting at his
side. And of all the audience, none is
more attentive to two president than
the president's secretary, Mr. Tumulty.
No other statement of the president
met such acclaim as when he declared:
"I'm ready tao tight till the fight is
taken out of me by death to redeem
the' faith and promise of the United
States." Another impressive statement
was: "If we fail them Europe God
help the world!"
On a few points the president ham
mered away frequently In his brisk at
tack. He told his audience that, the
United States cannot go to war without
its consent, under the covenant; that its
powers are made more extensive, for it
not onlv can declare against war for
itself, but can declare against other
countries going to war. Mr. Wilson ad
mitted that the artillery does not pre
vent war, or invasion, but it can pre
vent an invader from getting away
with the loot.
An element of personal bitterness has
crept Into debates on the league, con
f'sscd the president, which does not be
long there, for the league was not first
thought of nor invented by a. man
named Wilson.
"I wish it were" he smiled. "I got
the Idea from republicans, whom I will
not mention, for I do not want to
record the gentlemen against them-
sei ves.
Whatever the people in the armory
may have thought of Mr. Wilson's ex
planations, whether these explanations
were sufficient or otherwise and they
appear to be slightly otherwise there
seems to be no question on one point,
and that Is they were not sympathetic
with the senators who are strafing the
president. Possibly Mr. Wilson does
not take sufficient time to make his
explanation; perhaps he will iron out
phrases more exttndedly in subsequent
addresses. Anyway, the people of Spo
kane, in the enemy s country if you
wish, admire the president; greeted him
typical American fashion; are in
favor of the league; "but ."

which speaks for eastern Washington,
is for the league, but not as strongly
as it was a few months ago. There are
doubts growing like weeds and repub
licans formerly for the league are weak
ening. They do not indorse, however,
the conduct of Borah. Johnson or Poin
dexter. They are nervous about the
possible outcome of some features; such
as dragging America into war without
the consent of congress. Mr. Wilson at
the armory undertook to explain this
and set their minds at rest.
Mr. Wilson's remarks were frequently
applauded. The assemblage was about
as representative as could be gathered
Spokane or any other town. It was
not hand-picked. A lottery system sim
ilar to that held in Portland was ar
ranged. -
Even Committeemen Do Not Get In.
The committee in charge was so
anxious to avoid a charge of unfairness
that every member refused to provide
for himself and each took his chance
with the populace on getting a ticket.
Many of the committeemen remained
on the outside, for they drew no ticket.
Also the committee refused to rope in
a block of 500 seats for "representative
citizens," a list of that number having
been provided with the demand that
these be taken care of. So the audience
was just the ordinary run of men and
women of middle age and older; persons
of mature judgment.
It must have been a largely repub
lican crowd, however, for it was only
Mr. Wilson's appeals to the republicans
which failed to register such warmth
of response as his geMral declarations.
He assured his hearers that he is not
the aVlhor of the league of nations;
that republicans have suggested it for
20 years, and he mentioned Senator
Burton of Ohio as an instance. The
president even made a direct partisan
bid to the republicans, telling them that
being members of a city with a history
of constructive work they should say
"I am a republican and therefore am
for the league of nations, because it is
constructive." He urged people to cease
saying "I am for the league but." He
might have quoted Shakespeare and
added "but me no buts," for he harped
on the "but" repeatedly.
Wilson Smile Reflected by Wife.
Lacking the vigor and force of Colo
nel Roosevelt, Mr. Wilson nevertheless
got his message over in a conversa
tional, drawing-room manner. He

to his train from Coeur d'Alene. This
was the third platform talk the presi
dent-has made on his trip.
"There is one thing sure, the people
f the United States will not be quit

'My visit to various parts of the
country has told me that the people
feel that the treaty should be ratified.
hope that consciousness will pene
trate where it will be most useful."
The president told the crowd that he
ad started on the trip to "swap ideas"
with the people of the nation, and said
that some day when he had no strings
tied to him he hoped to return to Idaho
and spend time fishing and enjoying
himself among the people.
BRITAIN GETS TEUTON GOLD
Part of 4,500,000 Received Said
to Be on Way to Canada.
LONDON, Sept. 12. (Via Montreal.)
It is reported today that 4.500.000 in
gold has reached Londan from Ger
many. A portion is said to be already on
the way to Canada in payment for
foodstuffs.
LANSING AGAINST TREATY
(Continued From First Page.)'
stand the treaty, Mr. Lansing said, ac
cording to the witness, and "Mr. Lodge
would, but Mr. Lodge s position would
become purely political."
There was no democratic senator in
attendance when this testimony was
given, nor at other times during the
hearing, and nobody took up the
cudgels for the American commissioner.
When news of Bullitt s testimony
spread about' the capitol it was ex
tenslvely discussed, and senators- said
they were anxious to hear from Mr.
Lansing. When some of them en
deavored to reach him at the state de
partment they found he was out of
town, and an Associated Press dispatch
later from Watertown, N. Y., said he
declined to make any statement, and
had gone fishing.
Report on Russia Not Heard.
Bullitt's report on conditions in Rus
sia was never presented to the peace
conference. When he reached Petro-
grad in February terror had ceased
the destructive phase of the revolution.
Bullitt said, was over, and executions
extremely rare. He gave a hopeful ac
count, generally, saying the "soviet
government seems to have done more
for the education of the Russian people
in a year and a half than czardom did
in 60 years.
The soviet was firmly establlsnea, ne
declared, and while it "lends itself to
cross abuse and tyranny, it meets the
demands of the moment in Russia."
Lenine States Position.
"Lenine seized upon opportunity pre
sented by my trip of investigation,
Bullitt said, "to make a definite state
ment of the position of the soviet gov
ernment. He was opposed Dy xrotzKy
and the generals, but without much
difficulty got the support of the ma
jority of the constructive council and
the statement or tne position oi tne
soviet gorvernment which was handed
me was finally adopted unanimously."
Senator Harding, republican, Ohio.
wanted to know wny the soviet peace
nroDosal was dropped.
It was because or tne scream xnat
went uo in Paris, arter Aumirai a.oi-
chak's 100-mile advance, that his forces
would be in Moscow in two weeks.
Naturally everybody got lukewarm."
ExDlaining how he nad discussed nis
report with Lloyd George at breakfast,
Bullitt accused the premier of "the
most egregious case of misleading the
public" when he later said in parlia
ment that there was no peace proposal
from the soviet.
Lenine Said to Want Peace.
During the three hours Bullitt was
before the committee no democratic
senator was in attenaance. mere was
serious discussion of conditions in Rus
sia and the question oi witnarawing
troops, Bullitt testified, and it was be
cause of this that he was directer to
proceed to Petrograd.
From Helsingfors Bullitt sent confi
dential telegrams to the president.
Secretary Lansing and Colonel House,
explaining conditions as he found them
and saying Lenine and others associat
ed with him realized the need of peace.
They were ready, he said, to pay their
foreign debts. Asked how this infor
mation was received by the American
mission, Bullitt said:
"Colonel House wrote me a tele
gram of congratulation, but because it
was signed 'House and Mission' it was
not sent. The colonel gave it to mew-hen
I got back to Paris."
President Wilson's original proposi
tion on the league of nations, written
by his own typewriter, was filed with
the senate foreign relations committee
today bv Mr. Bullitt. The copy was
presented to Bullitt by Colonel E. M.
House and bore the inscription by the
latter, "In appreciation of your help in
the hour of need."
President's Plana Hacked to Bits. 1
In answer to a question by Senator
Knox, Bullitt said that in Its final form
the only proposal by the president that
remained intact was article 10.
Senator Knox wanted to know if
there was not a feeling of dissatisfac
tion at Paris at the way in which the
American delegation's work was handled.
