THE BEE OMAHA, MONDAY, MAY 8, 1911 1). S. SHOULD NOT PASS ARTICLE 10 SAYa cumins Iowa Senator Condemns Pro vision to Defend All Ag- gressions Against Any Country Concerned. By a Staff Correspondent Des Moines, la.. May 4. Sen. A. B Cummins, senior senator from Iowa, who has made a thorough study of the league of nations cove nant, is opposed to that part of the pact which would commit the United States to the policy, together with other member nations, of guarantee - ing the territorial integrity and po litical independence of member states. In an interview given out here he states his posit-on, declar ing that article 10 of the covenant should not be subscribed to by this country as it is the one which would bind the United States to defend all aggressions against any of the countries concerned in the agree ment. Since Senator Cummins is a member of the majority party which must pass on the treaty, his views on the subject are considered signifi cant. His statement follows: "In the first place, there can be no question but that the new Jugo slav state and, the other inland populations of south central Eu rope should have convenient and free commercial access to open water to the Mediterranean. "I da not profess to have such t intimate familiarity with conditions on the Adriatic that I can say vitli positiveness where that access should be provided. If Fiume is the only possible point of access, the only possible focus of railway lines and other essential means -of communication, then Fiume should be made available. ' Opposes Italy. "If I were participating in the conferences upon that question. I , should proposer first of all, that everybody agree on the principle that Jugo-Slavia must not be shut out from the sea. I should pro pose the principle to Italy. Once unanimous assent had been ob tained to that proposition, indud . ing, of course, Italy's assent, I should then say, 'Let us sit down and decide where, with the maxi mum fairness to all concerned, the . economic outlet of the Slav popu- lations of ..the interior should be.'" ; Having made clear that in his opinion the economic need of Jugo slavia for a port in the northern Adriatic should be satisfied by the ptacexconicrence, tne senator pro ceeded to make a very important qualification as to America's fu ture part in guaranteeing the set tlement, v " A European Question. "Fundamentally,"" Senator Cum mins said, "the question of the Adriatic, like all the quistions aris ing out of the creation of new European ' states, is a European question. i ,"1 am not in favor ot American wfusal to help in settling as rightly as possible all the issues, including territorial issues, growing out of the war. I would not have America ;ail to work for a just decision of the Adriatic question. Bgt I would ' have it distinctly understood that snce a settlement is made its per manence would be for European peoples and governments to attend to. not for us to enforce. "In other words, America, as one of the great belligerents in a' world war, should, without sacrificing her . Own future, give the fu' a'ssistance of her counsel in the attempt to start Europe right, with fair fron tiers, fair economic agreements, fair everything. After that the problem, as an essentially European one, should he left to Europe, to the .Lloyd Georges and Ciemenceaus. And their responsibility, even now, is superior to ours on such ques tions." Poles to Deliver 90,000 Tons of Potatoes to Germany Danzig, May 4. (By the Associa ted Press.)

Taxes inv posed under the new revenue act upon sales by manufacturers, pro ducers and importers of works of art and jewelry and on transporta tion were explained by Commis sioner of Internal Revenue Roper in a series of rulings made public to day. The tax on sales by a manufac turer, producer or importer is paya ble directly by him or his agent and is measured 'by the price for which the article is sold and not on the list price. ' The tax is payabltron a sale whether or not the purchase price is actually collected and dis counts may not be deducted. If an article is increased 'n price to cover the tax, the tax is on the increased price. ' i The manufacturers' taxes' cover a number of articles and ranges from 3 per cent on automobile7 trucks and wagons, to 100 per cent on dirk knives and daggers. The jewelry sales tax is 5 per cent and applies to articles to be worn for the purpose of adornment. Ar ticles carried in a' handbag or in the pocket, such as cigaret cases, powder "boxes and purses, are tax able as jewelry only if ornamented with precious stones. Claims Hinge on Condition at Time of Application Washington, May 4. Claims for deaths of men in military service re sulting either from natural causes or from battle are not payable under the war risk insurance act if ap plication for insurance was made while the applicant was in a "dying condition" it was explained today by the war risk insurance bureau. This' provision of the law was pointed put, it was said, to correct an erroneous impression that the bureau was refusing to pay claims in deaths from natural causes. Con ditions under which a man dies, do not affect the payment of claims, but only the conditions upon which he makes application for insurance.

It is the second section of an attack on the military affairs bureau of the Chamber of Com merce that wielded such a whole; some effect upon a certain class of Pottawattamie and Council Bluffs citizens, inducing them to modify their views concerning the right eousness of America's entry into the world war and line up on the side of all the other home folks who were loyally supporting the soldier boys thejr had sent overseas to fight the Huns. f No more attention would have been paid to it than was given the first blast, which was none at all, had it not been for the spontaneous action of a number of Council Bluffs boys who have returned frjyn overseas, wounded and keenly aware of the terrible sacrifices that have been made and as willing to resent an attack in the rear as they were to repel an assault from the enemy in front. A lot of these boys. Pusey McGee, Theodore M. Metzger. Eldon Anderson, Ernest L. Atwood, Clyde Menerayl Marion F. Starne, Jesse Rhoades. John Wagner, Richard Olson, Jens Jensen and . A. C Larsen, sent this telegram to the Homestead: f ' Consider it Slander.

We challenge Pierce to furnish us the names and addresses of men who will openly tell us they bought bonds against their will unwillingly supported the govern-q ment our buddies died for. A mass meeting of the newly formed Rainbow post, War Veter ans, itas been called at the armory this evening, and Mr. Pierce may get si me personal consideration of even" a stronger character. A response by wire came from the Homestead office stating that Pierce has been confined to hi3 bed for more than twb weeks by a surgi.al operation, and intimating that he "will be delighted" to meet a com mittee of the indignant soFdiers when he is able to go to his office. The young men are certain he will meet somebody with ample author ity to say something. Its tenor may be surmised by the remarkof one of the wounded soldiers: "We whipped, the Huns in France and if we have to do it in Iowa we're the lads for the job." , "Lost Battalion" Under Fire of Frenqh Artillery New York, May 4. Much of the withering fire to which the f .mous "lost battalion" of the 77th division was subjected during its gallant stand in the Argonne forest was from "supposedly friendly artillery." Maj. Gen.

' Munich, the gayest and lest fed of the capitals, still mindful of the arbitrary export embargo main tained by Bavaria when Berlin went hungry, today is marvelling at the lack of the intrepidity of the Bar varians and their utter impotence in the face of a handful of , bo sheviki.

Radius Rods IT is possible and cheaper to build trucks without RADIUS RODS, but all GMC Trucks have them because we know that they are of vital importance To fully realize what RADIUS RODS mean to a truck, consider what they are and what they do. The power which drives the truck is transmitted from the engine to the rear wheels and the track and load are literally pushed. without RADIUS RODS the "driving posA" Is transmitted, to the truck frame thru the rear springs.. Springs cannot stand this constant strain , and do their work properly. The riding quality of the truck is cut down, and all track parts suffer. With RADIUS RODS "driving push" is trans nutted to the frame thru the rods, and the springs are free to do then one important work. RADIUS RODS also act as an anchorage for ths rear axle, holding it in proper place giving the axle rull motion, but to a limit which insures safety. To equip GMC Trucks with RADIUS RODS incurs additional expense, but their purpose and result amply justifies the cost. It returns many fold in tow maintenance and greater truck dependability.
