Harrison dared republicans exposing the league to make American withdraw al from it the issue ia the 1920 cam paign. "If you do," re predicted, "you will heat the voice of the people; republican hopes will- be forever shattered and your party ignoininously defeated." He declared opposition to the league is based, first on jealousy of the great prestige obtained by President Wilson, and next ofl the fear of munition mak ers ia states represented by anti-league senators, that disarmament under the league will cut off their profits. Compared to "Hell Hounds." , "Nothing has been left undone by you," he charged, addressing the league's foes directly, "to have 'fail ure' written over tho conference door at Versailles. Your action is only com parable to the eouduct of the never ceas ing hellhounds Milton stationed at the infernal gates. "Never before In the discussion of a great national question has deception been so lavishly practiced and misrepre sentation so generously employed. Every alluring piece of sophistry that eratory could eouimaud, every cunning device that politicians could conjure have been advanced by the opponents of the league here that in the country reason might be dethroned and prejudice aroused. Partisanship Evident. "When - opposition to inleisitlional policies such as will make for the peace : and happiness of mankind is J'omided on rank partisanship and personal dis like aye merely to shatter the popular ity or retard the growing ascendency of a particular individual, then it is worse than bolshevism gone wild.

The effect of this resnluliou, repub licans said, would be complete compli ance with President Wilson's request.

Senator Beckham, urn tucky, predicted in a speech lu the senate. Because all other methods reducing the danger of war hare failed, the American people are willing to try the league, Beckham said, rather than run the risk of becoming involved again in war.

He assured them that the program before them was the finest ever put on by the .Uison-Vi ui'.e peo ple. The prelude or the evening was fur nished by the McDonough-Cagleston en tertainers. They are merely c duet in number but a quartet in the variety of their program numbers a tparkling repertoire of songs and readings. The alleged lecture of the evening was not a lecture at all, but a personal account of experiences in "darkest Rus sia" by Rev.

The securities were tnke.1 out by wealthy men who desired to cseape their share of the burdens aiising from peace payments. In some cases, air plaucj were used to take out great stores of securities. In other cases, di rectly after the armistice, it was pos sible for the wealthy to pack up thou tangible assets snd move quietly into Switzerland, or some other neutral eoun try, where the securities were sufely stowed sway out of the reach of the German government. Only today there came news rroin Vi enna of a considerable movement of Austrian and Hungarian paper out of the country. One estimate was that re cently $1,000,000,000 worfh of notes and other securities had been smuggled out of the eountry with quite evident signs that, the movement had the same pur pose behind it as the earlier German smuggling. The government Is now seeing to it that Bo great sums of money or paper are allowed to slip through the oouu dnries unless for leyitimate pmposes. Germany complains that her ability to meet foreiga claims has been materially decreased by the acts of war-swollen profiteers fad wealthy citizens who chose to take their wealth away rather than aid in rebuilding Germany, where in these profits were made.
