he said. ' "I felt that w could adopt
a league of nations then and amend
It, If necessary, later."
Recent statements by Governor Cox
regarding his stand on' the league Is
sue, have delighted the senator, he
told his audience. - He read the dem
ocratic nominee' ' statement that he

fort of president Wilson In draw up
treaty acceptable to all. There were
bitter ender and there. wrTeerva

told.. ' He laid blame at the feet of
senators of both parties because they
did not get together and consider their
various view for a treaty In the bent
Interests of America.
The league of natl ins Is Senator
Chamberlain' hope for the bringing
together of the nations on earth to set
tle present International questions
needing readjustment. He painted a
vivid picture of the enormity of the
problem of reconstruction and return
of amicable International relations, In
cluding the foreign exchange situa
tion. The league and treaty he de

these conditions back to normal.

ing its adoption by the election of the
ticket standing four auunre on that
Issue. Senator Chamberlain related the
enormous toll In life and In material

war from 1814 to I9IS. The material
coat was 187 billion of dollars and the
losa In life ..SOO.OOO men. The United
States lost 175.000 men and saw near

greatest war in history, not alone for
Itself but for Its allies as well.

' "More humane legislation hs been
paused under the present administra

ous Testimony That Shoot
ingr Plot Had Been Formed
SALEM. Oct. 27. (A. I'.) It is
understood here today that Nell Hart
signed a statement yesterday In the
presence of a Pendleton man seeking
clemency for him to the effect that
r w no plot sniong the prison
era In the case to shoot their way
iiiiuii . ..en 'iu tlor was k. li
ed. , According to the report Hart
took entire responsibility for the
shooting. exonerating Kerhy and

concerned. Warden Ixiuis Complon

ment but had heard of It. ,
8AI.I:M, Oct. 27. (C. P.) Noll
Hart signed a statement today deny
iiu an prtjirianged plot among the
prisoners Involved In the crime to
shoot their way out of lba Pendleton
Jail. He assumed full blame for the
killing of Til Taylor and exonerated
Owens and Kathie from, any contrac
tion in a plot to kill.
Officials place little credenre In the j
stutonient, believing It an attempt to
t-avtf the companions from the Ul
lows. The alleged statement by Nell Hart
contradicts testimony which he gave
on the stand at his trial and at the I
trial of Stoop and Henderson. Both
the latter, now serving life sentences,
told of a definite agreement between
the five jail breakers to shoot their
way out If necessary.
Htoop told officers in the county
Jail whenever questioned, that the
conspiracy to shoot. If necessary, was
definitely settled uoon and he rie-
dared that he would have carried out
his end of the agreement If it had fai
led his lot o do so..
Through the entire case, from
grand Jury to sentence, the existence
of the jail breaking plot was not de

Appealing for completion of "a great moral achievement" which he said
the v.u.1' represented, toe president asserted that "the war will have been
fought In vain and our immense racr.fices thrown away unless we complete

tbat Is by making It so dangerous to break the peace that no other nation
will have the audacity to attempt it."
He warned his hearers not to be deceived into supposing Imperialistic
schemes were ended with the defeat of Germany.
