"Their work," the proclamation furtner states, "has been directed mainly among foreigners here, little, If any, support being granted them by Americans and by the better class of workers of foreign descent. . . . In order that the people and properties of this city may be pro tected against violence or lawless ness, which may result from the for mation of an unruly and un-American mass of people, 3000 of the citizens of McKeesport have voluntarily been sworn into office as special police deputies."

Dolecki asserts that, relying on an advertisement by Mrs. de Snell that she was independently wealthy and de sired to marry for love only, he gave her the Dolecki name on March 4, 1919, at the Multnomah county courthouse.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 20. President Wilson completed his week of speech making on the Pacific coast tonight with a monster mass meeting here at which thousands shrieked approval of his plea for early ratification of the peace treaty. Welcomed to the city' by a crowd which densely packed the downtown section, the president was cheered tumultuously everywhere he appeared during the day. Along the line of a 10-mile parade he rode in a din of applause and later at a public dinner cheers greeted his declaration that the treaty should and would be accepted. When he entered the auditorium for his night he was cheered for more than two minutes by a crowd estimated by the police at 6000. The hall was Jammed and outside were thousands who could not get in. Some had been waiting since early morning for the doors to open. At the auditorium meeting Mr. Wil son was Introduced by Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, national president of the general federation of women's clubs, who told the crowd that the league of nations "must and will be come the bulwark of a war-weary world for all time." Prominent Republicans Present. The meeting had been advertised as one of strictly nonpartisan character and many of the state's prominent re publicans sat or. the platform. Among them were Henry W. Wright, speaker of the California assembly, and Mar shall Stimson, who was campaign man ager in southern California for 8en ator Hiram Johnson in 1910. When Mr. llson declared it was a matter of amazement that some men were now opposing the league, some one in the crowd shouted: "Shame on them!" and many others took up the cry. There were more cheers a mo ment later when he declared the treaty was founded on the rights of the weak rather than the power of the strong. It w-as a people's treaty, he said, not a statesman's treaty. The peoples of the world, he said, were tired of the old system of autocratic domination and they would overthrow it "one way or another." Under the league, he added, autocratic governments would be excluded from decent society be cause only self-governing peoples could hold membership. Quoting from a friend who. he said. never let the tacts get him if he saw them coming first," the president as serted that some men could not now see the facts in the treaty discussion marching upon them. "My prediction is that the facts are going to see them." he added, while the crowd cheered, "and make a very com fortable meal of them." President Wilson told hia audience at a public dinner tonight that his great difficulty in the treaty debate was that the argumens on the other side were not based on reason. No man, he said, had a right to op pose a great constructive proposal ex cept by a better constructive proposal. He was perfectly willing to go back to Paris to secure acceptance of a bet ter league oi nations, he added. If any one would propose a better league. The pres. dent's declarations were in terrupted many timeR by applause. At Paris. Mr. Wilson said, he had acted as the spokesman of American principles without regard to party. When he came home, he continued, the people generally were in favor of the treaty Just as it stood. Had there been vote then, "only a negligible per centage of our people." he declared. would have opposed it. Pro-Germanium Blamed. But since that time, said the presi dent, something had happened to change that situation. Without at tempting to analyze that movement, he raid, he could at least be certain that the strongest opposition had grown up in those places where pro-Germanism is strongest. It also was apparent, the president declared,, that should the United States stay out of the league the result would be to Germany's advan tage. Adding: that some men now proposed that the United States should try to get a full share of the benefit of the peace settlement without assuming its share of responsibility. Mr. Wilson said, such a suggestion would be "hideous" to true Americans. It was an "ugly thing." he asserted, to pro pose that the United States shape its policy upon the principle of getting all it could at the expense of others.' Article ten the president character lzed as an extension of the Monroe doctrine to the, whole world. A speech made by President McKin ley the day before he was shot also was referred to by Mr. Wilson, who said the words of the maryred presi dent seemed to show he had a vision of the new day of peace.
