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."

"I think such frocks are ideal in

"Nothing is nicer than seeing the

fashion directors don't agree.
"Bare backs and a possible coal

"Besides, most women found this
whim too expensive. It entailed too

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

ment to Prevent Misquot
ing of His Position.
Favors New World Body
Marion, O., 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."
Leaving Marion tomorrow the
Harding train will make a practically
.continuous run to Chattanooga,
where it is to arive Wednesday
morning. Senator Harding's address
there is to be delivered at a night
session, and during the day he will
confer with local party leaders, His
train leaves the following morning
and after stops at six towns will
reach Louisville for a night meeting.
Thursday night will be spent at
Louisville. The candidate will speak
at Indianapolis Friday evening and

Chicago, Oct., 11. Laboring un

But I saw nothing ahead of me
in my old age but the poorhouse.
So I started a beauty parlor, and

Prohibition Ruling
Washington, Oct 11. The su
preme court retused today to re
consider its decision of last June 7,
sustaining validity of the prohibition
amendment and provisions of the
enforcement act.
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.
The Dempsey petition was based
on the claim that neither the amend?
ment nor the enforcement act was
intended to prohibit the manufacture
or ,ale of beverages containing
small quantities of alcohol where
such beverages were not in fact in

"It is obvious that if this commis

remains to the states no effective

Error Cause of
Slump in Wheat
Farmers Charge Brokers With
Attempt to Control Market
And Threaten "Strike."
Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Bea Ltaaed Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 11. Protesting
against the drop of over 90 cents a
bushel in the price of wheat since
July, and charging Chicago brokers
with attempting to control the mar
ket, farmers throughout the middle
west are threatening a "wheat strike"
on October 25. At the same time
dispatches from Ottawa state the
Canadian government is seriously
considering taking over the wheat
market, due to the bearish move
ment. 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. .

suddenly started slipping. It dropped
to $1.98, then to $1.97, and continued
falling point by point.
"What's the matter?" the traders
asked each other.
Rosenbaum is selling 1,000.003
bushels, someone replied.
The news traveled fast: "Rcsen
baum is dumping a 1,000,000 bush'ls
on the markctl
Smaller traders became active and
began selling. The price continued
downward.
' It hit $1.93 and then finally drop
ped to $1.91 for the low level of the
day, 9J4c off the opening price. Just
before the close of business it
rallied to $1.93.
