REPUBLICANS START LEAGUE ATTACK
ILLINOIS IS FIRST STATE TO RATIFY SUFFRAGE
FRENCH PREMIER IS FIRMLY OPPOSED TO BACK DOWN
DENVER, June 10.—The action
of the American people at the next
presidential election will determine
whether or not America will con
tinue to hold the world’s love which
President Wilson ha; won for it, de
clared Democratic Chairman Homer
S. Cummins, in a speech delivered
in this city last night. If the Demo
crats are continued in# power, he
said, this love and respect will en
dure; if the party of President Wil
son goes down to defeat, they will
he lost.
The presidential contest of i‘3-0.
in the opinion of the Democratic
leader, will be for the control of
the world, and it is within the
power of the American people to
carry to success the conquests in
that direction which have been
undertaken by President Wilson,
and which are full of promise for
the American republic.
EMPTY TRANSPORT
IS DISAPPOINTING
NEW YORK, June 10.—The ar
rival of the American transport
Federal in port today was the cause
of general disappointment here,
necessitating the abandonment of
entertainment plans which had been
aranged with much elaborateness.
It was belived that the transport
caried many American troops, home
ward-bound from France, but when
the vessel was me: in the harbor
by tugs and other vessels of wel
come, it was discovered that the
troop list contained only one name,
that of Captain D. H. Mills, of
Seattle. The Federal sailed from
Antwerp.
Bands played and great crowds
thronged the dock as the transport
neared shore, waiting to cheer the
boys who had helped drive the Hun
out of France and Belgium. When
it was learned that a lone officer
had made the voyage, there was
a hasty retirement and much con
demnation of the war department
for failure to keep the public posted.
NEW PAPERPLANT
IS COMING NORTH
SEATTLE, June 10.—Bernard
Stone and Edward G. Morrissey, who
recently acquired control of the
newspaper field at Ketchikan and
began the publication of the Ketchi
kan Times, have arrived in this city
from the North for the purpose
of purchasing a complete new news
paper plant for shipment to Ketchi
kan immediately. They intend to
start another paper at the pros
perous fishing town, to be called
the Daily Evening Journal.
The plan of the publishers is to
publish the first number of the
Journal before the first of July.
The paper will be politically inde
pendent.
LEAGUE PLAN MENACED
BY SENATE RESOLUTION
!
, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.
I—Opposition to the League of Na
tions proposition assumed definite
shape in the United States senate
today in the form of a resolution
providing for the separation of the
i league plan from the peace treaty
before submission to the chamber
foT consideration.
j The resolution, which was intro
| duced by Senator Philander C.
| Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
j and which has the support of a
•majority of the opponents of the
•league in the senate, is regarded
| as official notice to Paris that the
j senate opposes the ratification of the
League of Nations.
The introduction of the resolu
tion does not come as a surprise
in official circles, since it has been
understood since the convening of
the extra session of Congress that
the Republicans intended to make
a fight against the ratification of
the leagne in the form in which
it has been agreed upon by the
Council of Four.
The peace terms, it is contended
by members of the senate, can be
disposed of satisfactorily after the
Germans have attached their sig
natures to the treaty. But they ob
ject strenuously to the considera
tion of the league proposition at the
same time, on the grounds of dan
ger of a confusion of issues.
Breach Widen*
The positive refusal of the ad
ministration to make the terms of
the peace treaty known to the
senate has not helped the situation
in the upper chamber of Congress.
Opposition to the league appears
to have become more intensified
as a result of the refusal of the
President to take members of the
senate into his confidence and the
introduction of the Knox resolution
today removes all doubt regarding
the intention of the Republicans
to carry the fight to the bitter end.
Treaty Text In Type
The printing of the full text of
the peace treaty, which was au
thorized by the senate yesterday,
following the receipt of the copy
brought to the United States by
Special Correspondent Hunt, neces
sitated a supreme effort on the part
of the government printing office,
the largest printing establishment
in the world, in order to complete
the text in time for appearance in
the regular issue of the Congres
sional Record. The office estab
lished a record by setting the hun
dred thousand word treaty in the
short space of two hours, but in
order to do it, the combined efforts
of forty-eight linotypes were neces
sary. The issue of the Record con
I
taining the treaty is one of the
largest editions printed in recent j
years, there being sixty-four pages
of solid reading matter.
Copy for Nenana
A copy of the Congressional j
Record containing the full text of!
the treaty has been mailed to the
Xenana News from the national ■
capital and will be available for;
local use as soon as the postoffice
can make delivery. Every other
paper in the United States belong-;
ing to The Associated Press organ!-;
zation will be supplied with a copy.!
for such use as they desire to make j
of it, and many of the newspaper*!
throughout the East doubtless al- j
ready have given publicity to the j
treaty, despite the efforts of the j
President to keep the American'
public uninformed regarding pro- j
ceedings at the Paris peace con-i
ference.
ALLIES 80UBTFUL
ABOUT AUSTRIANS;
—
VIENNA, June 10.—Represents-j
lives of the Austrian government;
are now engaged in the preparation !
of their reply to the Allied peace j
1 treaty which was transmitted to the
Autsrian delegation at St. Germain
Tast week. The task is being under
taken without enthusiasm, the Aus- j
, trians feeling that the terms are!
such as to make impossible their j
acceptance without first trying to1
; secure a modification.
EVASIVE REPLY
j PARIS, June 10.—Reports which
have reached this city from Vienna
indicate that an evasive reply to
ithe peace treaty may be expected
from the Austrians, and the con
ference is prepared for the receipt
| of counter proposals to the terms
■ demanded.
WALSH WUULO PUT
I
!
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.
—An effort will be made by the
Republicans during the present ses
sion of Congress to prevent the ab- j
sence of American presidents in j
future for a longer period than ;
twenty-four hours. Representative j
Walsh, Republican, of Massaeh' -1
setts, introduced a resolution today,;
which provides that the vice-presi
dent may not perform the duties
of the executive for a longer period
than twenty-four hours at any one
time.
Such a law would make it im
possible for the president of the
United States to visit Europe or
any other foreign land not con
tiguous to the United States.

CLEM STANDING PAT
FOR FRENCH CLAIMS
PARIS, June 10.—There is a well j
founded rumor in circulation in this j
dity to the effect that Premier
Clemenceau is unmoved by the Ger
man appeal for modification of
peace terms and refuses to share
the views of his colleagues who are
advocating the granting of certain j
concessions to the Germans. The
old “tiger” of France is said to 1
have assumed a determined attitude,
demanding that the conference in
sist upon the acceptance of the
terms as originally submitted to the
German delegation.
Questions Unsolved
There are a number of large, un
solved questions still confronting'
the Council of Four, in addition 1
to the peace treaty submitted to the
German delegation, and the seeming
inability of the diplomats to find
i solution of the problems has filled :
hem with disappointment. Whis
perings from the conference cham
ber indicate that President Wilson
ind his premier associates are be
coming pessimistic.
SIGNED THIS MONTH
PARIS, June 19.—The Echo de
Paris assures readers of the paper,
n an editorial appearing in today’s
ssue, that the peace terms sub- \
nitted to Germany will ire signed j
>efore the end of this month and j
hat the treaty will be ratified by
he various parliaments of England, i
'ranee and Italy the first of
August. j
In case of a refusal on the part I
>f the present German government
:o accept the terms, the Echo de
Paris predicts that the people of
Germany will set up a new govern
nent which will sign the treaty.

FROM MP SLOW
TOLEDO, June 10.—.Jack Demp
sey’s publicity agent is authority
for the statement that the chal
lenger has been compelled to dis
continue active ring training tem
porarily as the result of a blow
received during a practice bout with j
his sparring partner. The blow j
opened an old cut over Demsey’s
eye and he is afraid to continue
sparring because of the danger of
infection.
Willard’s advertising man declares
that the champion finds road work
a pleasure and the rest of the
training easy, much less fatiguing
than he had anticipated after his
long absence from the ring.
The natives are becoming danger
ously civilized. At Juneau recently
one native started suit against an- .
other native for injuries received :n
i gas boat by being caught in the
propeller shaft. Five thousand
iamages is asked.
The members of the finance com
mittee, appointed by the Commercial
club to solicit financial support for
the Xenana Fourth of July cele
bration. are authority for the state
ment that they have met with en
thusiastic encouragement wherever
they have gone in quest of aid. The
town has not yet been thoroughly
canvassed, but there is already
enough money in sight to insure
for Xenana the best celebration the
town has ever staged, and there is
the possibility that a sufficient num
ber of interesting events can be ar
ranged,, with funds available, to
insure three days of fun.
The question of the length of the
celebration, however, as well as the
other details, will be left for the
club to decide at the special meet
ing called for tomorrow night, at
which time the finance committee
will have their report in shape for
submission to the members. The
committee, which is composed of
Ralph Waechter and Joe Fisher, will
have considerable to report to the
club, in the way of suggestion.- re
ceived while making the rounds of
the town, and the club doubtless
wrill direct the arrangement of a
program to conform to the wishes
of contributors.
The committeemen want every
man in town to have the oppor
tunity to contribute to the cele
bration fund, and invite voluntary
subscriptions from those who may
be inadvertantly overlooked by the
solicitors. There is every assurance
that the money will be judiciously
expended, and the larger the fund,
the greater the fun.
WINNIPEG SUE
IS FAILING FUSE
WINNIPEG, June 10.—Officials
of this city are convinced, as the
result of developments of the past
several days, that the strike crisis
has been passed and that the strike
is now broken in so far as it con
:erns the safety and welfare of the
city. Many of the strikers are still
out, but their ranks are dwindling
steadily and their leaders disheart
ened. The presence of many re
turned soldiers is believed to have
saved the day for the city.
Fully one-third of the strikers,
it is estimated, have returned to
their places.
