Reed Backs
Statement
Of Spencer
Democratic Senator Declares
Wilson Promised Military
Aid to Roumani? and Ser
bia at Peace Conference.
Speech Published in U.S.
Br The Auorlated I'm.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 6. As
serting that President Wilson . had
made a statement at the peace con
ference promising Kouinania and
Serbia American military assistance
under the proposed league of na
tions covenant. United States Sen
ator James A. Reed of Missouri,
democrat, today sent a telegram to
Senator Selden P. Spencer, his re
publican colleague, declaring that
the statement was a matter of record
and suggesting that the president
produce stenographic reports of the
peace conference, showing just
what was said." Senator Reed's
t-Mcgram was m response to one
iron' Senator Spencer asking infor
mation on the subject. Senator Reed's
message declared the statement was
wide by the president in an address
before the peace conference. May
31, 1919, but did not get by the
censor until December 3, 1919, when
it was brought to, this country by
a newspaper correspondent and pub
lished in the Washington Star of
that date.
"The speech also appeared in full
in the Congressional Record of De
cember 4, 1919," the telegram con
tinued, adding that it also was copy
righted by a newspaper syndicate
and given wide circulation through
out the Country.
Challenged Senate.
"On several occasions I chal
lenged the attention of the senate
to this speech," the telegram said.
"My speeches by scores of thou
sands were circulated through the
country. Numerous publicists and
speakers have repeatedly referred to
and commented upon this declara
tion. Its authenticity was never
disputed in the senate or elsewhere
to my knowledge until Mr. Tumulty
recently denounced it as false.
"The speech bears upon its face
evidence of its authenticity, as it is
couched jn the well-known phrasc
illogy of the president. In view of
these facts a discerning public will
not be inclined to accept Mr. Tu
multy's denial. There is one way
this dispute can be settled. Let the
president produce the stenographic
records or the peace conference,
showing just what w5 said.- These
official reports have been sup-'
pressed-, and kept secret, although
the senate foreign relations commit
tee asked expressly for them. It
was staged by Clcmenccau's private
secretary that the reasons the ses
sions were held in secret was be
cause tlft president of the United
Statesv insisted upon it as against
Clemenceau's own judgment.
"That, the latter statement is ab
solutely correct is shown by the
testimony of Secretary Lansing,
given before the foreign relations
committee of the Senate, August 8,
1919."
Wonders About Article 10.
Senator Reed also gave out a
statement, saying: i
"What now do xG understand?
That President Wilson, means we are
toot under obrfgations io send 'our
armies to protect Roumania and oth
er members of the league against
attack? 1 '
"If so what becomes of article
10, which he declares is the heart
of the covenant.
"After, all," Senator Reed contin
ued, "this controversy is immaterial.

Rule Governing Arms
In Germany Modified
Coblenz, Octrf6. The inter-allied
high commission decided to allow
immunity from the strict laws of the
army of occupation prohibiting Ger
mans in the Rhineland from having
unlicensed .weapons. This decision
was taken in order to assist in the
enforcement of the recent Germane
law for disarmament under the Spa
agreement.
The decision permits Germans in
the occupied area to surrender hid
den arms and ammunition up to No
vember 1 without bring punished for
having .the arms in violation of the
high command's and army's orders.
The allied officials admit that not
withstanding the severe punishment
threatened against Germans in tlu
Rhineland since the beginning of the
occupation for holding weapons,
thousands of rifles and other arms
have been concealed by Germans
living in the bridgehead rones.
Bolshevists and Chinese
' Bandits Attack Town
Tokio, Oct. 6 Advices from
northern Korea say that a body of
Russian bolsheviki, Koreans and
Chinese bandits, made a second at
tack, on Hun-Ghun, a town of Man
churia, near the Korean frontier, on
the night of October 4, and engaged
the Japanese troops dispatched from
Korea after the first attack on the
town on Saturday last.
The advices state that the situa
tion is serious.
It appears that during the first at
tack, the attacking party used field
jzuns commandid by bolshevik of
ficers. The foreign office, in an
official statement, says that Korean
malcontents are co-operating effec
tively with Chinese bandits and Rus
sian bolsheviki and that renewed at
tacks on frontier towns are feared.

San Francisco, Oct. 0. With city
and federal officials frankly admit
ting that they connived to supply
democratic convention delegates with
40 barrels of whisky and' gin, in
violation of the prohibition law, the
federal prohibition situation in San
Francsico has reached sensational
proportions.
An unnamed democratic politician,
high in the counsels of the govern
ment at Washington, gave orders
for the "lifting of the lid" during
the democratic convention here and
caused large quantities of liquor, il
legally withdrawn from bonded
warehouses, to be distributed tothe
delegates and their friends, it was
revealed by John S. Dunnigan, clerk
of the board of supervisors, who
supervised the liquor distribution.
The disclosure that a "high demo
cratic politician" had given the or
ders for the-distribution of the liq
uor to the convention delegates was
made by ' Dunnigan, who admitted
that he had acted as "errand boy"
in the delivery of the wet goods to
the headquarters of the democratic
national committee and the head
quarts of the""various candidates.
In explaining his part in the trans
action, Dunnigan declined to name
the "high official," who had ap-i
proached him before or during the
convention, and told him it would

Dunnigan said he did not himself
secure the permit for the withdrawal
of the liquor. The requisition for the
liquor, signed by Dr. Vm. C. Has
sler, city health officer, as purchasing
agent for the San Francisco hospital,
was for an unnamed amount.
From time to time, Dunnigan
withdrew liquor in various amounts
on Dresentation of the permit, and
saw that it was properly delivered.
The idea to make the delegates'
stay in San Francisco as plcisant
as possible did not emanate from
city officials, it was made plain. It
was a ip Straight from Washington.
Acting Mayor Ralph McLeran,

Senator Borah
Attacks Wilson
On Article Ten
Declares Only Way to Avoid
War Would Be to Violate
Covenant, as Advjocated
By President.
New Haven, Oct. 6. Senator Wm.
E. Borah of Idaho, in an address to
night," made a vigorous attack on
President Wilson's recent statement
on article 10 of the league of nations
covenant. He declared that if this
government refused to take up arms
to aid a country in the league, which
was invaded by an enemy, "the
United States steps out discredited
and dishonored anil the seeds of
wars are scattered broadcast."
"The president's last letter to the
public informs us that article 10
does not interfere with congress to
leclare war or not to declare, war,"
said Senator Borah. "I can con
ceive of but one way that congress,
could get out-of declaring war in
case of the invasion of territory df
a member of the league and that
would be- to violate and wholly dis
regard the plain terms of the treaty,
and to rend' in pieces the league
covenant itself. The president has
said heretofore upon a very solemn
occasion, that article 10 constitutes
a supreme moral obligation upon
the part of our nation, which moral
obligation, he declared to be more
binding than an obligation of law
or .contract. Congress is but an agent
of the Ira-turn and, in refusing to car
ry out a solemn promise, would
brand our whole people with dis
honor and moral turpitude. .
"Are we about to enter into some
icind of a monstrous combination in
vhich supreme moral obligations are
to be disregarded? When the exi
gency arises, arewe about to enter
into a scheme whch we are to carry
out at great and untold sacrifice to
our people or refuse to carry out at
the cost of national honor and na
tional decency?' Have we already
reached the point in international de
bauchery where we are plainly prom
ising one thing and plainly intending
to do another thing, if our own in
terests suggest it? Are we going
into a world-wide scheme for peace
behind which is the honor of the na
tion, or are we going into a Euro
pean scheme to be executed as usual
under influences -of treachery and
trickery?
"If we go into this scheme and the
hour comes when the United States
must choose between the faithful
execution of its treaty or its , shame
ful avoidance, our people will choose
the path of honor, even at the cost
of treasure and blood. We have not
yet accepted in this country the
creed of Machiavelli. We still ad
here to the creed of Washington to
observe in good faith all interna
tional obligations."
