" 7 ' ' THE bee: Omaha, iihjkolai, 12. 1917. SENATOR WALSH SPEAKS IN FAVOR nr irinur nioT ur llhuul rnui Asserts Opponents Have Trumped Up Many Unsup- portable Objections to Play Upon People. Washington, June 11. Asserting that opponents of the league of na tions have trumped up many un- supportable objections to play upon popular sensitiveness. Senator VValsh. democrat.! of Montana, de fended the league covenant in the senate today against charges that It subverts the American constitu tion. Answering .Senators Lodge, re pubican of Massachusetts; Knox', republican of Pennsylvania, and others who urged constitutional ob jections, the Montana senator de clared their arguments founded on theories lone since disDroved. He quoted many precedents to support his position that the covenant neither sets aside any constitutional prerogative nor assumes any new power in treaty making. ;x League Not "Superstate." ' Charges that the league would be 'a "superstate" he declared to be a "mere declamation," since the or ganism in most of the provisions complained of could only "advise" or "recommend." The celebrated Article 10, he continued, certainly would bind the United States to make war in certain instances, but added that the same obligation had been assumed by various treaties made by this government in the past. .Referring to assertions that the league would be a "super-govern-ment," the senator quoted from the covenant at length and continued: tIt is idle to assert that an or ganization thus equipped is a govern ment at all. It has no army and no treasury and no means of secur ing either. Though it may render decisions, it cannot make laws, neither can it levy taxes." Plan It Not Perfect, ' Senator Walsh said no one con fended the league covenant was per fect. But it was a "mere subter fuge," he declared, to talk of amend ing it. " "What the senate may do," he con tinued, "is to propose amendments, Hundreds Upon Hun dreds ol Beautiful Dainty light Gowns, Envelope Chemise and Olooners Se cured in a Reraark : able Special Pur - ekate and offered 1 in Great Sale Next : Friday.

Doubtless other nations will pro pose amendments. The stupendous labors of the past six months are undone, peace is as far away as it was last December. "The situation is not unlike that which was presented when cur con stitution was submitted to the states for ratification. Its oppo nents, open and secret, were all strong for amending the draft sub mitted. Washington was not de ceived by this method of attack. 'If another federal convention is at tempted,' so he wrote to Charles Carter of Fredericksburg, 'its mem bers will be more discordant; will agree upon no general plan. The constitution is the best that can be obtained at this time." probeWleak of peace pact "flivvers" out (Continued From Face One.) being consulted by the American mission. Mr. Root gave it as his opinion that, there was nothing improper in the way the treaty reached him and that he was' free to use it as he chose. There could be nothing se cret about it, he told the committis, because the German government had made it public. Under questioning, Mr. Root, who appeared in the inquiry voluntarily, went on to say that while the sen ate was within its rights in asking for a copy after the treaty became public in Germany, President Wil son was within his right in with holding it if he chose. v Rumors of Other Copies. All the witnesses said they had heard rumors of other copies in New York, but did not know wheth er, they existed. . Like statements were made in telegrams to the com mittee by Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.," and Paul War burg, formerly a partner in the same firm. Wednesday night the inquiry seemed to have reached a standstill because no one had any further wit nesses to suggest. Senator Lodge and Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, who made the revelations which started the investigation, said they considered all their statements in the senate had been proved, and Senator Hitchcock, democrat, of Nebraska, author of the investiga tion resolution, declared the inquiry apparently had lapsed without show ing any dangerous leak in diplomat ic channels.

One of the biggest nights in the history of Ak-Sar-Ben was last night. Though it was only the sec ond "show" of the season, the den was jammed to the guards with a hilarious bunch of fellows who laughed themselves into near-hysterics at the initiations and the drolleries of the best show ever de vised by the authors, librettists and artificers of the great King Ak-Sar-Ben. Even "Dad" Weaver, hardened though he is, was excited. After writing new membership cards un til his wrist ached, he deputized several of his fellow workers to take a census of the automobiles which filled all -the vacant space for a block around the den. The count came to 465 cars. Bankers and Undertakers Guests. Numerous chartered street cars brought the major portion of the state bankers and state undertakers to the den. These gentlemen, now here in annual convention, were the guests of the evening. The wonders of the show . have been detailed before. The chorus is a marvel. The stage settings are worthy of the professional stage. So are the lighting effects. Frank Latenser as Bacchus leaves nothing to be desired. Walter Adams in a female impersonation made a big hit. Oscar Lieben, Henry Dunn, Charles Docherty and all the rest of the principals did great work. Lists Close July 15. The surprise stunts are also of an .originality worthy of Gustavus Augustus Renze, the world's great est artificer. Let all those dilatory sons of the realm of Quivera give ear to a new edict, decided upon at a meeting of the hustling committee yesterday and 'promulgated by "Dad" Weaver last night. If you want to join Ak-Sar-Ben you must do it before July 15. The membership list will close on that date, says "Dad." Last night's total was 3,377, a gain of 236 new members since last week. And the hustling committee says the expected 5,000 will be on the membership roll by July IS. And those who aren't there by that time can "whistle" for tickets to the Ak-Sar-Ben ball. Next Monday will be Sarpy coun ty night and 1,000 citizens of that county are expected to see the big show and participate in the initia tions. ' Germans Reply to Marshal Foch Over Forces in Lithuania Berlin, June 11. In reply to the demand made by Marshal Foch May 28 regarding the maintenance of German forces in Lthuania and Let via north of a certain line, Germany has presented a note to the allied armistice commission at Spa assert ing that according to Article XII of the armistice Germany has the right to carry out a withdrawal, which has already begun, in the re gions formerly belonging to Russia. The German note says that Ger many does not object to abandoning the territory south of the line mark ed out.

Wednesday afternoon, declared that the Western Union officials who represented that 1 less than 10 per cent of their employes had gone out were detiberately misrepresenting the facts. It was stated by Mike H. Donelin, secretary of the local telegraphers' organization, .that but half of the men were in attendance, the remain der doing picket duty. The night shift had gone home after picketing all night Tuesday and Wednesday morning, he said. George Kleffner, head of the Fed eral employment agency in this city, also addressed the strikers. He urged caution in conducting the strike, but praised the action of the men and women whto had walked out when a living wage was refused them. Girls Promised Support. Support of many of the locals has been promised the girls, who though not members of the union, walked out with the telegraphers. A committee of seven girls was appointed. This committee will work among members of their own sex and do picket duty. A union of the striking feminine employes will soon be organized. Officials of the Telegraphers' union as well as heads of the com pany agreed that no strikers are as yet returning to work although the threat has been made that they may not be reinstated. It has been reported that messen ger boys had returned to work, but this was denied, by Mr. Donely. In direct contradiction to the statement made by officials of . ?he local telegraphers' union, A. Long, division traffic superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company, and J. W. Dudley, wire chief, de declared yesterday morning that less than 10 per cent of their 250 operators and machine attendants are out. Say "Business as Usual." Business operations in the com pany have not in any way been in terfered with, the two officials stat ed. Messages will be handled as heretofore. The strike ended in failure at its inception in other cities, they said. In Kansas City, Kan., St. Louis, Mo., Wichita, St. Paul, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Sioux City none of the operators struck, according to Mr. Long and Mr. Dudley. J. G. Wolf, manager of the local branch of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Co., did not attempt to mini mize the extent of the strike. Twenty-two of the key men and nine girl machine attendants are out he said. The company has 35 men and women in the local branch, he stated. All messages are being ac cepted with the understanding that they are subject to delay. So far all business has been successfully handled, although every one of the union employes Is out. Several non union men also struck at the re quest of the organized men. As the federal government guar antees the telegraph companies against loss at the present time, Mr. Wolf anticipates government action in the near future. Police on Guard. , A cordon of policemen has been thrown about the vicinity of the Teamsters' hall, 513 North Sixteenth street. Anticipating danger at the Western Union headquarters as a result of the strike, policemen have been placed at Fourteenth and Far nam streets to guard against vio lence. At neither point has any trouble been reported. Picketing is in progress at both places. Chief of Police Eberstein an nounced that he will appoint point 50 special policemen for strike duty. "We will probably increase this number to 100 to protect the interests of the city," said the chisf. For more than three weeks heads of the Teamsters' union attempted to come to an amicable understand ing with the employers. They de manded a general increase in wages of about $3 a week and the right to organize. Discrimination against the union men was also one of the factors which caused the men to strike yesterday. Mayor Smith in terceded in behalf of the drivers, but he was unable to effect an agreement. Believing further dick ering useless, the men called a spe cial meeting' for Tuesday evening to take definite action. With only two dissenting votes, according to union officials, the employes ex pressed their dissatisfaction and voted to strike.
