DUBLIN. March II. "Violence

LEAGUE OPPONENTS

Will Try to Amend Treaty
so That rans Conventm
Will Not Apply.
WASHINGTON, March 12.
Following word from Paris that the
peace theaty is nearly completed with
many leudlng articles contingent up
on the league of nations, the fight ra
ging about the league today took
now turn. Opponents of the league
will try to amend out of the treaty
application of the league if It Is em
bodied In the peace covenant when
ft conies up for ratification. Senator
Reed declared, adding: "We can
amend It by ousting the objectionable
clauses such as that endangering the
Monroe Doctrine or American sover
eignty. This should be done. In my
opinion, because within 0 days this
country will be ahlize with opposition
to the league."
This does not apply to all senators
opposing the present draff of the
league charter.
Ixsiguo Must Come First,
Chairman Cummins, ot the Demo
cratic committee, suggested a possible
new political alignment tn 1920 urg
ing all Americans, regardless of their
old flarty affiliations, to support Wil
son In his efforts to secure a treaty
of peace making future wars impos
sible. Chairman Cummins, democratic
national committee, issued a state
ment, saying: "The Ill-considered
talk about the peace treaty first, the
league of nations afterward Is per
suasive only with those who do not
understand the problems Involved.
Hi;cha policy would postpone the ef
fective league for generations, reduc
ing the treaty to a mere scrap of pa
per to be torn to tatters the moment
international interests came Into con
flle with each other." i
Battle for Defeat."""' " '
Opposition senators believe the sen
ate could render the league as now
proposed Impotent by adding to the
treaty, if the league were embodied. ;
revision expressly stating "notnina
shall be binding on the United States
If It conflicts," etc., and then specify
ing the Monroe Doctrine and other
American policies. Anti-league sena
tors said they expect radical amend
ment, of the proposed constitution in
an effort "to take the wind out of
their sails." Therefore they are pre
paring to battle in the senate to the
very end for the complete defeat of
any league plan in connection with;
the peace treaty. 1

BKRL1-V, March .12. Berlin is to
day menaced by Spartacan outbreaks.
Government troop after - desperate
fighting, have captured trie greuter
part of the suburbs of Liichtennerg.
Most, of the Spartacans fled from

From these new posit ions 'their urtil-'

The government's position Is made
