LEAGUE NEVER BACKED Mark Sullivan Says War Premier Doubted Success of Venture, but Agreed to Try It Out. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 23. (Special.) It illustrates un happy state of fear and suspicion which afflicts the whole world to find Georges Clemenceau the object of criticism on the one hand from Senator Borah, who was the chief of the "irreconcilables" In opposi tion to the league of nations, and, on the other hand from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska who led the light in the senate in favor of the league of nations. Clemenceau was never a league of nations man. He was willing to tol erate it because Wilson wanted it; but he had no great faith in it. At Paris he used to say, in effect: "I am an old man, I have seen a great deal, and I do not believe 'war can wholly be banished from the world by the league of nations." At the same time he used to add, speaking to some Americans, in ef fect: "You men are younger your nation is younger. Maybe you are right. Maybe you have the better vision. I am willing to let the ex periment be made. If it doesn't stop vi ar completely, maybe it will, at least, remove some of the causes of war and give time for reflection be fore nations take the sword. I am willing to try it, although I am not willing to intrust France's safety to that alone." Treatment Held Unjust. It Is not only unjust for the enemies of the league of nations to treat Clemenceau as if he were their antagonist; it is equally unjust to hold Clemenceau responsible for the spirit of extreme revenge which ac tuates tome parts of the Versailles treaty. The truth is that at the peace conference Clemenceau rep resented a contrast to the extreme French militarist opinion. It was not Clemenceau, but Foch and Poin care, who wanted the extreme of revenge on Germany. Clemenceau was con: tantly in disagreement with Foch a.'id Poincaire and constantly under attack from them. In the end, after the peace con ference was over, these enemies of Clemenceau who thought he had been too mild with Germany, suc ceeded in ousting him. Clemenceau today is prescribed by Poincare and the others who compose the pres ent government of France and are responsible for France's present policies. It was Foch a'id Poincare who pressed Cleniencei to seize the left bank of the Rhine and make tho Khine France's permanent frontier and otherwise to act with extreme ruthlessness toward Germany. It was Foch who wanted to march into PolRnd and take the American any with him, and march also into Fi sia, taking the American army. Clemenceau "stood out against these extreme militarists and al ways under pressure from them Also it was not, primarily, Clemen ceau who was responsible for mak ing, the German reparations so im possibly large. That fault lies chief ly on the shoulders of Lloyd George Lloyd George, in order to win the election in Great Britain in Decem ber, 191S, just before the peace con ference began, promised the Brit ish people to make Germany pay the entire cost of the war, including the pensions for British soldiers who wen killed and the separation al lowances for the wives of British soldiers whn were at the front dur ing the war. It was in the attempt on the part of Lloyd George to make good on these promises that the German reparations were fixed at an impossible sum. Clemenceau would have been con tent with forcing Germany to make good merely for the devastation done in France, Belgium and else where. Of course, it is undeniably true , that Clemenceau wanted, and still wants. Great Britain and the United States to make treaties with France, guaranteeing that they will come to France's help if ever France should be attacked. To this proposal our American public is even less friend ly than it is to the league of na tions. Wilson, although he did not believe in this proposal, finally dur ing the course of the negotiations at I'aris promised Clemenceau that he would recommend it to the American people. m So hopeless was it. however, to get any degree of support for this proposal in America that it never received any except the most per functory discussion here and was never formally passed upon by the senate. If It had been brought up formally in the senate there would have been fewer votes for it even than there was for the league of nations. Among all the Americans who were at Paris either officially or as observers, I can recall not one who did not think of Clemenceau as a man apart. There were many who disagreed with him completely, but all regarded him as a fine, honest, frank old man, who stood by fixed principles, always said what he meant, and never practiced the dip lomatic subtleties that were char acteristic of some of the other Euro peans. Goofi Will to Be Created. , As a practical matter, so far as Clemenceau means to bring forward this old proposal of an American guarantee for France, it is quite impossiDie. it it were, brought be fore the senate it probably would not get more than five nr tpn vnta Nevertheless, the weight of opinion here is less excited than that of sen ators who have spoken up sharolv. The bulk of feeling here favors taking Clemenceau as he is, a fine and brave old man, who loves his own country and speaks the truth us ne peea iv. j. uere is no serious idea that anything specific will de velop as a result of his visit, except such good will and tolerance as will come from listening to him with respect and treating him with the affectionate courtesy to which he is entitled, not onlv aa a ptodI Frenchman, but by virtue of his own unitiue personality. pi!

The fact that the roof had been leaking aided in the fight on the fire. Buckets, used to catch the drip, were full of rain water and were used to fight the flames. Damage was estimated at 550.

Ex-premier Clemenceau of France and his mission to America, as well as policies of the present French government were subjectedito a bi partisan fire today in the senate in a nearly two hours' frank discus sion of Franco-American relations. Senator Hitchcock, democrat of Nebraska, ex-chairman -of the for eign relations committee, and leader of the senate forces which sought ratification of the Versailles treaty, was joined by Senator Borah, re publican, of Idaho, prominent treaty opponent, in the criticism. Both re jected the plea oi M. Clemenceau for co-operation between America and France for peace as long as present French policies are pursued, but Senator Sterling, republican, of South Dakota, who followed with a brief defense of M. Clemenceau, supported the French statesman's assertion that French fear of German mili tarism was justified. Senator Hitchcock flayed the French policies toward Germany, which he said were harsh, naming particularly the reparations de mands and use of black troops in Germany. France, he declared, might have . had "a more appropriate spokesman" than M. Clemenceau and he called upon the former to "justi fy" in future speeches in this coun try the French policies which he at tacked. Senator Borah, charging France with, being militaristic, also called upon M. Clemenceau for a state ment as to the French position on disarmament and declared that the distinguished visitor was "studiously ohscure in his proposals for a peace rapproachement between France and America.

" The American people, Mr. Borah predicted, would reject "in toto" the proposal of M. Clemenceau for peace union between France and America. Both Senators Hitchcock and Borah paid personal tributes to M. Clemenceau, but united in the belief that the visitor's addresses and the present course ofj the French gov ernment were likely to lead to war. LIBER!

BEN SELLINGS Portland's Leading Clothier for Over Half a Century VICTIM DECLARED BEATEN STATE RESTS CASE IN TRIAL OF IIALVORSOX KILLING. That Man Was Beaten Severely About Head Before Death Is Asserted by Doctor. BEND, Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) Shortly before William Garrett, Des chutes county -a.ncher, was shot to death by Ed Ttalvorson, his neigh bor, on the night of July 1, he was severely beaten about the head, one of the blows causing a fracture of the skull and others causing numer ous bruises. This was the outstand ing feature of the testimony intro duced today by the state which rest ed its case at 4 o'clock. So far, no testimony has been produced to fix responsibility for the head wounds, but from the emphasis placed on- tho examination of Dr. W. B. Morse, Sa lem physician who conducted the autopsy on July 16. Cora Baxter, Garrett's house keeper, testified that she had found the bouse unoccupied when she re turned from Bend between 10 and 11 o'clock. She did not know that Garrett had been killed until the next morning. She denied that Gar rett ever drank, contradicting the fpstimonv of Ed "Rqsrers. the state's first witness, who had been at the Garrett ra.nch on the fatal night when Garrett started off' with his pistol in search of chicken thieves and never returned. The defense started its case by calling E. D. Gilson, who told of finding Garrett's body within ten paces from Halvorson's front door. The caset is expected to go to the jury by tomorrow nigiht.
