"At Whatever Cost of Inde-

AN TI-LE AGUERS HOLD
PHRASE AS EVIDENCE
Borah Charges Statement
Proves Belief in Obliga
tion to Accept Advice.
BY J. W. T. MARTIN
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. July 11. Senator
opposing the. league of nations seized
li word 'from . President Wilson's
speech aa proof of their contention
that ratification of the league would
rob the United States of Its Independ
ence of action. The six words are
"at whatever cost of Independent ac
tion." The president used them In de.
rlarlng the world demanded a new
, order of International politics, found
ed on freedom and justice.
If added it was In the league of
nations thnt mankind found the only
hope of this new order. Thus the
president, anti-leaguers argued to
day, demands that the United States
commit Itself to giving up its Inde
pendence to whatever extent the
league may deem necessary.
"This statement taken with the
president's assertion that the United
States Is legally bound to accept the
league council's advice proves abso.
lutely what the proponents of the
league have denied." said Senator
Ilorah. "They have Insisted we would
be under no legal obligation to act on
the league's advice unless we feel that
honor compels us to. But the presi
dent clearly views the situation dif
ferently." Invites Questioning. 1
' Wilson's expression ft willingness
to appear before the senate foreign
relations committee nt any time to be
questioned regarding the treaty and
league is pointed out by those favor
ing ratification as evldenee of his con
fidence that the documents cannot
be successfully attacked.
Campaigns Blocked Out.
Administration senators said today
they are sure that after much verbal
battling on the floor the treaty and
league will win when It comes to a
vote. They consider that the presi
dent. In his speech yesterday, with

WORKS HEAVY LOSS
"A grain fire destroyed between 25
and 30 acres of wheat belonging to

road about two miles east of Waits -
burg, Wednesday afternoon. It was)
one of the fiercest biases reported
front that section In recent years,
and had it not been for the prompt
efforts of a large number of fire
flghtern from Waltsburg, the fire
would likely have spread over two or
three adjoining farms.
The fir was probably started from
a match or cigarette thrown by some,
one passing In tho road. It was first
discovered at abiut 2:30 in the after
noon. The alarm waa immediately
sent to waltsburg, where the ringing
of the fire gong brought a quick re
sponse from a large crowd of people
who rushed In automobiles to the
scene of the fire. A wide swath was
cut around the scene of the fire with
a mowing machine while a large num
ber of people fought with sacks. The
heat was so in tease that one man was
overcome and taken unconscious' from
the field. The fire was under control
In an hour after the alarm was given.
The burned field before the fire
gave promise of a splendid yield, es-.
timated at about 35 bushels an acre.
No insurance was carried.
