Ey L. 0. Mirtla (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washisgton, July 11. Senators the league of nations today seized on six words from President Wilson's speech to the senate as proof of their contention that ratification of the league will rob the United States of its independ ence of action. The six words are "at whatever cost of independent action." The president used them in declaring that the world demanded a new order at international poiities, founded on freedom and jUKtice. He then added that it was in the league of nations tlmt mankind found its only ' hope of this new order. Thin the president, anti-leaguers ar tued toduy, demands that the I'uited States commit itself to giving up its independence to whatever extent the league may deem noeessnry. Borah Claims Proof This statement, taken with the pres ident's assertion that the United Slaies Ss legally bound to accept the advice of the league council, proves absolute ly what tho proponents of the league have denied, said Senator Borah. "They have insisted that we Be un der no lejrnl obligation to act on the league's udvieo utile we' feel honor compels us to. But the president 'clear ly views tlio situatiou differently." Opposition senators were actively preparing today to carry the fight to Wilson from a new angle. While they Portland Man Is Drowned While Swimming In Current . Portland, Or., July 11. C. E.

Creation of an enormous Bed army, estimated by vari ous authorities anywhere from two to four million men. under (iilficulties which have scarcely been equalled in history iWh feat which the bolsheviks have accomplished. The Russian Red r.riny is a huge effective force ciosely bound to the political organization of the bolsheviks. Trotsky, more than any otner Russ ian, is the genius behind the Kid anny. He has mobilized every man of military age at the present time, and spends his ulir.nst boundless e icrgv gon g from front to front re organizing uud enthus ing local lenders. Trotskv is Russia's "man of iron." The bnUheviks have orermoKliicd In the opinion of many who arc informed as to the actual situation. Tins is prob ably a means of preventing unvir.ploy ment and discontent, though ultimately it makes Russia 's economic situation more difficult. The bolsheviks eel coifidei.t th:.t no outside army can take Moseow. For Petrograd thev fear. Its fall would be a tremendous moral blow to boisbivism it is recognized by bolshevik leaders, but they hold that the ecouo;uie prob lem confronting them would be i.atc iallv improved, since thev would be ir lieved of the responsibility for feeding Petrograd. The problem confronting Field Mar- sh a I Trotsky is not manpower, but find - iug cannon End locomotives. Most of the soldiers have rifles, wi.ich they proudly display as American Make, bnt artillery to support the infant.- is rack ing. At present the bolsheviks make up for the shortage by dragging guns from one front to the other to n-.cet at tacks.

Fight Takes New Turn The first step in this direction was the Borah resolution requesting the president to furnish information re garding the reported protest of Lan sing, l.liss and Vt lute, the other three members of the American pence dele gation, against giving Japan control of Shantung. The president's opponents believe, they said today, thnt thev can muster their niaxiimum strength on nn amend ment to the treaty eliminating or alter ing the Shantung provision. Ik-fore this can be done, Lansing and, perhaps, I'rosideut Wilson, will be asked to give the foreign relations committee not on ly vcrbai! explanations of the meant! by wltich the arrangement was arrived at. but the peace conference day-bv-duy records in the case. formal consideration of the .peace treaty will begin Monday by the for eign relations cinninit'tee, .Senator Lodge announced todny.

Among the possible appointees who have been mentioicd in connection with the position is Heiiator I. L.
