VOL. 60 NO. 100. Evidence In Dispute Published Wilson Brings Forth "Steno graphic Record of Speech to Refute Charge of Reed and Spencer. aaMaaaaaaaaaaa. Deals in Generalities B Tha AtaocUUd frraa. Washington, Oct. 11. The White House made public today what was described as an "official version" of President Wilson's address at the eighth plenary session of the Paris peace conference. The exact word ing of this address, directed to the representatives of Roumania, Seroia and Czecho-Slovakia, has been the subject of a controversy between the president and Senator Spencer, rc- puDiican, Missouri. The senator had declared in a po litical speech that the president had promised Roumania and Serbia that : ...... ..... : i. j .u.:. . rltory he would send the American army across the seas to defend their boundary lines. Mr. Wilson, in a telegram to the senator, on October 5, said that this statement was "false." In reply Senator Spencer called for the ofli cial record, saying that the state ment to which he had referred was in tha "stenographic notes" of the eighth plenary session, in which the " president was "reported to have pid:" '; . . , Force Only Guaranty. "'You must not forget that it is force that is the final guaranty of the peace of the w;orld. If the world is again troubled the United States will send to this side of the ocean their army and their fleet.'".' The president's words as given in the official version follow: "How can a power like the United States, for example and I can speak for no other after signing this treaty, if it contains elements which they do not believe will be permanent, go 3,000' miles, away across the sea and report to its peo-t pie that it has made a settlement of the peace of the werld? It cannot do so. And yet there underlies all of these transactions the expecta tion on the part, for example, of Roumania, and of Czecho-Slovakia and of Serbia, that if any covenants of this settlement are not observed, the United States will send her armies and her- navies to see that they are observed." Carlson Furnished Text. The official version of the full .' text1 ol the president's address was ' furnished ta tne vvtiaeHousCiiast. week by Fred A. Carlson of Chi cago, vho was an official stenog rapher with the American peace del egation, and who wrote that he would "be glad to swear fo the accuracy"; of the transcript. Mr. Carlson's letter 'was dated October 6 and was addressed to Charles I- Swcni, stenographer to the president. He explained that he had read Senator Spencer's reply to the president in the Chicago news papers; that he had just gone over his notes and he could find "no such statement as that attributed to Mr. Wilson by the senator." He added that it was barely possible that the quotation "was from a translation (Continued on Fare Two.Tnlumn One.) Bare-Baclced Gown for London Dancers in Spite of Coal Shortage London. Oct. 11.

Blame Politics For Agitation Of Jap Question Critics of Foreign Policy o Japan Subsiding and Prob I ems Are Now Looked on With Less Apprehension. . Toki.0, Oct. 11. The last ' few days have witnessed a marked subsi dence in the agitation here of the California problem, but Japan, nev ertheless, is deeply stirred and pro tonndiy apprehensive. There is a pronounced feeling in some Japanese quarters that the gov ernment should have taken up much earlier its ettorts to avoid the.Cali' fornia referendum while forces -of the Hara ministry probably would have used an adverse result of the California vote its a weapon against the present cabinet. Thus the flurry in some measure was traceable to Japanese politics. Press Is Curbed. However, the government, realiz ing the extent of the popular feeling, is known to have induced the Japa- nese press , to curb belligerency, while the majority of the national leaders counsel an attitude of pa tience, pending an opportunity to find a solution either by diplomatic means or through the courts, ror mer Premier Okuma, in his latest in- terview, expresses hope that a wav will be found to satisfy both nations, but he characterizes the situation as dangerous. A leading Japanese newspaper to' day, says: "Japan does not want war, and asks: "Does America want war?" adding: "Japan needs prepar edness.

I lie Japanese are disappointed over the Lalitorma attitude or Sen ator Harding and are finding more comfort in the Tecent utterances of Governor Cox, but the conservative spokesmen say it is not to be ex pected that the California question will he calmly considered during the campaign heat and that they would welcome its removal from political discussion and its settlement by the administration regardless ot which party is victorious next November, Cox Pays Tribute To Memory, of Lincoln Springfield, 111, Oct. 11.

Pronouncing the old order of world affairs at an end. Senator Harding reaffirmed in a statement today his belief that America mustplay its part in aid ing ,the formation ot an associa tion of nations "that will discourage or tend to prevent war and that will encourage a better understand intr. Such an association, lie said, could be formed without sacrifice of American sovereignty of impair ment of the American constitution, He declared his purpose to bring into counsel on the subject, the ablest American citizenship, includ ing the women of the nation. Explaining why he restated his proposal in a formal statement the senator said that while he was "un alterably opposed to going into the league as that particular proposi tion now sands" he. wanted the American people to, understand also ' my thought ot co-operation. , - Text of Statement., The text of the senator's state ment on the league issue follows: "It seems to me there should not remain a shadow of a doubt as o my exact position as regards the proposed league of nations as drafted at Paris and submitted to the senate nd as regards thea great world sentiment for a better under standing among nations to dis courage war and generally to ad vance civilization. Let me restate my position as explicitly as my pow er ofwords permits:. "First, I am unalterably opposed to going into the league of nations as that particular proposition now stands, lhat proposal is contemp tuous of and potentially destruc tive of the American constitution. It is not favored by the American people. Second, J. am in iavor ot a worii association call it what you will, the name is of slight consequence that will discourage or tend to pre vent war or that will encourage or tend to encourage a better under standing among nations of the earth. The old order of things is done with not only in America, but throughout the world, and the United States always quick with ivmnathv. alwavs hist and usually led by common sense, must play its part in this new order. . . Plan is Feasible. "Third. I believe that such an as sociation can be formulated without wrecking the constitution that re mains the corner stone of our lib erties and of our happiness; without seizing or filching the sovereignty that is our pride and our inspiration to fine living and good works. Fourth, I can earnestly believe that the conscience, the ready sym pathy, the sense of justice and the plain common sense of the United States can be depended upon by the rest ofthe world and that it would be stupid as well as unlawful to at tempt to chain our sympathies, our sense of justice and our common sense, to tie these strong, fine, de pendable American qualities to the possible selfish ambitions and aims of foreign nations or group of na tions whose id'eals are not the same as ours; never have been and never will be. "Fifth, it is my purpose when elec ted, to take the whole people into my confidence as regards these mat ters, to seek their advice and more importantly, to act conconantly with their advice; and to this end it will be my pleasure as well as my duty to call into conference w;th me the best minds, the clearest minds flat America affords. I thank God that the time has come when I can' ask the aivice of American women and especially the mothers of America. Wants People's Help. "The substance of these thinrrs has been said in some form or other in every address and I s?iy it all definitely now because I am not always fully reported and I want America to understand my thought of co-operation as well as the adbid- mg opposition to the league pro posed."

The rehearing had been asked in petitions by Christian Feigenspan, a brewr of Newark, N. J., and George C. Dempsey, a wholesale liquor dealer of Boston, Mass. Kelirflring of the Feigenspan case was sought on the ground that the court failed to state the reason of its conclusion in holding the amend ment valid, that inadequate time had been allowed and that the court's construction of the amendment re lating to "concurrent power" made congress' auhority practically para mount and nullified the effect in tended by the senate and house.

A proclamation was issued by the national officers of the -United States JVheat Growers' association, urging suspension of sales of wheat by farmers until the price rallies to $3. This action was hastened by another sharp drop in price on Friday, when wheat declined more than 6 cents a bushel. . This decline, it has been learned, was accelerated, if not precipitated, by a clerical error of three ciphers made by an inexperienced clerk in a selling order on the board of trade. Instead of selling 1,000 bushels be sold 1,000,000 bushels. .
