I have too much prldoln mv country nnd too mtich L inspect for Its flag to approve nny, treaty V that concedes precedence to Great Brl- - P. tain or rCnuces It taiuolltlcal eoualltv at l home or abroad with a colony or subor- - .dlhate division or that empire, our flag with my consent never shall float lower than that of Great Britain or any com- bination of nations. ' Colt AKnlnnt Amendment. Senator Colt (it. I., opposed tho Shan- - amendment, but declared himself in Irung of meeting this Issue by Ho also said he would vote against the Johnson amendment. Ho said In part : We are all familiar with the fact that It Is commoni for the United States to make reservations tn ratifying treaties, as for example tho treaty of Algcclras and the Hague peace confer- ences and In these. Instances the reserva- tions were ncqulfsjWd m ,py. tho. other parties. It Is well, to remember In this, connection that It Is Usage or cuBtom which makes International law. The Shantum; amendment chancres the text It of the treaty by substituting China for Japan In certain articles, with this textuai chango wo have made a new treaty, which must be submitted to all signatories for approval. This requires new negotiations with every signatory and opens a wide door for controversy. Would Great Britain or.. France, not M mention Japan, accept this new treaty? r looking at tho existing- - International I: conditions Is If not npparent that this treaty would fall If this .amendment, were, adopted? \But suppose now wo \. express .our .dissent to the Shantung articles In the rorm or a reservation. Tho . effect is simply to change tho treaty so far as -- the United States Is concerned and to r leave It In full force ns to the other 1 Towers. In this way we will have accomplished the same end as by an amendment nnd In a manner which will hot defeat the treaty. Now all we have liald It) regard to tho Shantung nm'ond- - i!mnt..A5plIes with equal force to tho Jonnson amendment. If there Is an In- equality In giving the British Empire six votes, do we remedy this evil by giving the United States six votes and leaving \France and Italy and some twenty odd members of the league with only a. single vote? \I am In favor of a reservation clari- fying tho article dealing with the Mon- roe Doctrine and pinking It certain In case of any dispute that the United States Is to be the Judge as to whether It is within that doctrine. It must be made clear and certain that the Monro\ Doctrine Is outside! the Jurisdiction of the league. \I am In favor also of taking away from tho council tho power to 'decide whether a dispute relates to domestic questions and expressly reserving that right to the United States, and also of amplifying the fact that all Internal and domestic questions are outside the Juris- diction of the league.\ Tho limn cm Shnntunc: Cnnr. Ser.ator Thomas (Col.) reviewed the history of Janan's relations to har I neighbor. Ho condemned strongly the processes by which tho Island Emnlro h has come to a large measure of domlna- - lion, nut asserted that tho United States was In a measure an accessory after the fact so .far as concerned Japan's ac- quisition of rights In Shantung, because nt the time It did not protest. As to the treatment of Corea pfid Corcans by the Japanese ho doubted' If the situation WfirA Rn hnrl 1 mn,n(Ai1 tS \Japan's case,\ said Senator Thomas. v.i laauj ujiu;u uy jjri'beiliu nun I, ! nf Its llrAntfn- - .1 ......... .1 . n I .wh,-uii- o uciimiiua lu allium Ull- -. der the circumstances that mirrnnnilrl I that act. Japan Is now In eastern Si beria and intends to stay there! will !. stay there. She Is entrenched In Mon golia and Manchuria and will stay there. \Between the new German Republic, which still falls Itself tho Germah\Km-plre- . and Japan Is a vast region1 In- habited by 180,000,000; restless,, people, disturbed, disorganized, untlmately to come Into control of tho man'bn horse- back. Why should Japan. If we reject' this treaty, return to the Vcrtnlllcs con- ference when a combination ofthe three great \Powers I have mentioned Isifalrly In sight, all of them under tho hegemony l of Imperial Japan. What better Justl- - ucauon couia japan find ror forcing and perpetuating that combination, with all the menace to Western civilization that would be Involved In it. than tho adop- tion at this amendment by this Govern, ment?\ Senator Thomas concluded that Japan never would assent to the amendment that Is proposed and that to adopt It would be the most unfortunate treat- ment of the subject. Secret Trenty Indefensible. Senator Borah summed up the argu- ment for the amendment \The attitude of the United States,\ he said, \was an encouragement to China to enter tho war. It was a promise of friendship, of protection to China at the Peace Conference. And we did tryr as wo all know, to extend our aid to her there until secret treaties came Into the con- sideration. The President has repeatedly I expressed his t that ho could hot uu mure tur v.nina. 'Tho British attitude was like, our own ; phlna was encouraged to enter the war. Britain accepted great and vital support from China, yet at the very time China was preparing to become, her'ally Great Britain was making secret treatles-'fo- the dismemberment of China. Thesejwere keit from Chlneso knowl- edge until China's representatives learned of them at Versailles, It was Inde fensible, and the more so In view of the fact that these secret treaties were not disclosed to the United States, while we were promulgating tho principles of honor nnd fair dealing en which we en- tered the war. .\Germany held nothing In Shantung that ihe was free to transfer to an other Power. That was forfeited when .wnina aeciarea war. ah German rights reveriea to cnina. The United states Ian be accused of no bad faith. Wo Ire In position to assert nnd nrotect ur honor and Japan cannot protest: Japan has nothing on which to rest her claims, except desire and power, and f.vo are about to Indorse It on that baBls ilone. There is no Senator who will maintain, .that .this settlement Is any-- I thing but a tfreat wrong. Tho Tretldont Fhaa said It was. All tho world knows It Is. It should never bo Indorsed by uua government.\ Reed Replica to Spencer. Senator Reed devoted himself csne dally to ankwerlng. the argument .of hla colleague. Senator Spencer. \Tho 'argu ment he presents,\ said Senator HeeiJ, is me treaty is an accompusneu ract now and that If wo assume to lnterfeie With It we must be ready to fight. That is all. beside tho facts. This treaty is not nit accomplished fact until the United States ratifies It. If wo give Shantung back to China and the others dlsagrt-- e It docs not bind us, or any other na- tion, unless tho others make u treaty among themselves, leaving us out, if they do that we can make one nf our .own and not asree to furnish men n'd arms for their wars.\ \Having been ratified by three of the great Powers, tho treaty Is In effect,\ Insisted Senator Spencer, \Vts as' amopg them : but tho United States Is yet free,\ replied Senator Deed, \And If we amend It, It goes back 'to the others. If they reject our amend- ments, we aro free to act alone,\ \And It Is to prevent tho treaty going back to tho other nations that I prefer reservations to amendments,\ replied Senator Spencer, \That Is,\ said Senator llred, \tho Senator would recognize the treaty as In effect and take tho position that we did \Itooieiclt a a Coiinlry Minuter.\ A slluirig fctor ab-- ut the late President, which'' won the fire! prl In, a contest.

What wo need hero Is more reat American nerve.\ Cession In Effect Soon, Senator Lcnroot suggested tho form of reservation which ho believed most efficacious. \We should hold ourselves with full (Iberty to help China If occa- sion arlso ,nd we dcslro so to do,\ he said. \Tho treaty has coma Into full life. It Is .in full effect as among Brit- ain, France, Italy and Germany. It wilt be In effect js to Japan very Boon. The cession ot Shantung will bo a fact ns coon ni Japan ratlflos, which will bo heforcfjfho Senate will act at nil. Tho amendment proposed hero could not be accepted by Britain, France or Italy Without the consent of Japan. A reser- vation would leave tho United States not n party to the crime in any way, at full liberty to assist China at any time In future. \The other Powers cannot undertake to chango the status unless Jnpan con- sents and we know bIio never will.\ . \Thcro Is a difference between our relations to Europe and our relations to Asia,\ suggested Senator Lodge, \Wo aro an Asiatic Power by reason of hold- ing the Philippines; but wo arc not In any way a European Power, So It N not competent to say that wo are Inter- fering In Old World concerns by adopt- ing this amendment. We have Interests In Asia that we aro bound to consider In making treaties. They must choose between us .and Shantung.\ \Yes and It would mean the killing of this treaty,\ said Senator . Lenroot. \Unless provisions aro made that will protect the Interests of the United States I will vote against ratification of the treity. I would rather do It outright than by reservations.\ Aim-rlc- u Master of Terms.

These principles applied In a measure to Egypt, Ireland. Poland, the Philippines and to other peoples, but Mr. Owen added that It was \entirely ' inexpedient\ to take up nt the peace table the ques- tion of among the Brit- ish and other dominions. - \ t Attacks shantung award. Dr. Mncklln, Mlnnlunnrr, Seen War In Clnuse. Cincinnati, Oct' 15. The Shantung clause In tho peace treaty was to-d- attacked by Dr. W. E. 'Macklin, noted missionary, for thirty-seve- n years In China, at the International convention of tho Disciples of Christ in session here. He said that Instead ot establish- ing peace the clause would. If enforced, bring about another war. \China already Is waging trade war with Japan,\ he said. \She will flghf when she Is able to defend her terri- tory.\ Tho missionary took a directly opposite stand to that of Bishop Mc-Kl- of Toklo, who supported the' clause In an address before the Episcopal Tri- ennial at Detroit on Tuesday. RUMANIANS .RELEASE HUNGARIAN RED AIDS Ignore Allied Warnings, Says Budapest Report. Vienna, Oct. 14 (delayed). Tho Budapest advices state, attempted to seize some of Pre- mier Krledrlch's Immediate following and did arrest two Government officials. The Inter-Allle- d mission protested against this and other actions by tho Rumanians were objected to. Re- ports from tho Trans-Dflnub- e region declare tho Rumanians, as their evacua- tion proceeded, have systematically re- leased tho supporters of the Bolshevik regime yho had been Imprisoned. Rumors that tho Intcr-AUlc- d mission Is to withdraw from Budapest are In circulation, but are not yet confirmed. The Rumanians are said recently to have kept out of touch with tho mis- sion, making It impossible for the representatives to take any action. Apparently tne juunamnns are pay- ing slight attention to tho warnings, requtsts nnd mandates of tho Inter-Allle- d Military Mission, which repre- sents the only outsldo authority In Buda- pest They have prevented food suppllen from reaching Budapest and suburban legions with a population of nearly 600,000. International Red Cross representa- tives report that In nil portions of Hun- gary occupied by the Rumanians tha oppression of tho native population la so great as to make life unbearable for them. Women and children. It Is stated, have, been flogged and Imprisoned with- out trial and tho widest latitude Is given to the term \requisitions which extends to personal property of all kinds. The food reserves of Hungnry, de- pleted by Rumanian selzurts, have been recuceu to mo uinger. point and tho (most serious crisis since the beginning of the Rumanian occupation Is threat- ened. Tho Hungarian food administr- atis reports the rtserves only one-thir- d of .vhat they wcra In September.

Tho United States did not sign- - tho International Air Conven- tion Monday, nlthough It Is recognized as one of the most Importnnt agree- ments growing out of the war, for tho reason that tho American Patent Office objected to somo of Its provisions. It was explained y. Tho American Mis- sion did not agree with tho contentions of tho Patent Oflicc, but was forced to. grant Its request for more time to study the agreement and to withhold Its sig- nature. Tho I'atcnt dmco contended that tho agreement deprived the United States of Jurisdiction over prosecutions for patent Infringements for the reason that under the terms of tho convention If a foreign machine containing a aovlce which Infringed an American patent landed In the United States no prosecu- tion coul bo Instituted. Americans Ticro believe that eventually this contention will be waived. The United States nnd Jnpan are tho only two nations represented here which did not sign this agreement, which marks the greatest ndvance made so far In the regulation of nerltl naviga- tion, as It places International flying under laws corresponding to those of the sea. All the neutrals. It Is believed, will approve tho agreement later. Under this convention all aircraft must carry natldna! Jnslgnla like ships at sea, and pilots must bo registered. Airships at night must carry a rrfd light on the port side nnd a gf1?en ono on the starboard, must pass each other to the right, and If tho craft Is an aero-bu- s, carrying a dozen passengers or more, must havo a wireless aparatus. A mnchlno disobeying thesa rules can bo detained In any country In which It lands. It Is significant that no rules have been drawn up yet regarding customs regulations In aerial navigation. Great Britain Is not In accord with Fran'e In this matter, contending for. strict regu- lations. Another point left unsettlerr, but to be determined at rwncetlng In the near future. Is the question \of nn aerial signal code. No good system has been worked out yet, but several ten- tative codes are to .be, studied and their best features combined. Tho new convention Is more Important for Europo than for America nt pres- ent, because flying over the. frontiers here Is very general now, while In America International flying Is confined to three countries, Canada,' the United States and Mexico.

ALLIES ASK BERLIN TO BLOCKADE REDS Paris Council Invites Germany io rtm rigm on oovicts. IjOndon, Oct, 15. In connection with the report from Germany that England lind invited Germany to coopcrato in the coercion ot Soviet Russia the cor- respondent of tho Associated Press learns that n communication of this nature was made to Germany by tho Peaco Conference. Tho Supremo Council last Thursday sent a noto to Germany and neutral Powers Inviting them to coopcrato In a blockndo of Soviet Russia, but It was decided not to publish tho note until re- plies had bec received, says Router's correspontient. Tho Qerman Commission on Foreign Affairs met yesterday to consider tho note, tho correspondent ndds. Berlin, Oct, 14 (delayed). The Krcuz Zcttuna lenrns from \well In- formed quarters\ Jhe Government will In nil probability ngreo to ioln the blockade of Soviet Russia proposed by entente I'owers. It Is said tho Govern- ment will lay down certain conditions Incident to Its participation, and \will primarily consider Germany's foreign political Interests when reaching a do- - ctslon as to Its final attitude.\ Special despatches received from Koenlgsberg report that commercial and Industrial circles there aro uneasy be- cause of the fear that a blockade of the Baltic would prove disastrous to East Prussia. That section has been chiefly dependent upon marltlmo tralllc ror nil lupplles slnco the collapse of railroad service. Only limited nuantltles of necessaries, such as foodstuffs, coal and petroleum, can bo taken overland at present The blockade, it Is said, would also prove Inimical to commercial relations with border States where, despatches- - aeciare. \ungland Is aspiring to assume a dominating Influence.\ It Is said that Germany may succcst the installation of an International com. mission to deliberate on the proposition. wmcn unquestionably found Germany unprepared and places her in a quandary. The Kreu? Zrltung protests mat Germany, it sno agrees to take part In tho blockade, would \bo raklncr tho chentnuts out of tho tiro for the benefit of her foes and Incidentally complicating her eastern political orientation.\' Doubts that tho soheme can be put Into operation nro expressed by tho Tagcblatt. which believes Germany should consult neutral nations before replying to tho suggestion, and urges this as pn opportune moment to nrrlve at an understanding with 'the Entente relative to Germany's economic rela- tions. The newspaper fears that what ever happens Germany cannot prevent tne united states, Great Britain and France from gaining valuablo economic influence In Russia as a result of the present move. The I.okal Anzeiaer denrccates nn nh. soluto refuaal by Garmany, saying, \sho tyouia risK being Included In tho block-ado.\- 1 On tho other hand, tho news- paper ta's Germany must avoid \af- fronting the Russian bourgeoisie, who sooner or later will succeed the Bol- - shcvlkl.\ It ndds that tho task of har- monizing tho blockade with International law and tho covenant of the Leaguo of nations must also bo considered. Stockholm, Oct, 14 (delayed). The Scandinavian nations nro preparing n Joint note In reply to the noto of tho Entente regarding the declaration of n blockade against Soviet Russia. The Swedish newspapers say that the new blockade declaration Is of no practical Importanco to Scandinavia, as thcro has been no trading with tho Soviet sections of Russia slnco the Bolshevtli' revolu tion. Tho only exception, It Is bald, was In tho case of somo small vessels with Swedish hardware which sailed for Rus- sia, Sweden receiving 1n exchange for this merchandise a few cargoes of hemp and flax. FEW GERMAN TROOPS QUIT BALTIC STATES Many Join Russians Fight Reds, Says Official. Berlin. Oct. 15. According to tho XcitUng am Mtttng, only about one-thir- d of tho German nrmy In the Baltic States, Is obeying tho evacuation order. It Is assumed In political circles that these troops will complete tho evacuation by tho end of the week. Of tha o;her 35,000 men, says the paper, two-thir- have been transferred to tho Russian service. An nrmy officer formerly on tho staff of Gen. von der Goltz, who arrived In Berlin from Mltau told tho Asso ciated Press correspondent that Col. Avn- - loff Bermondt was not aiming at tho capturo of Riga, but was endeavoring to safeguard tho Dvlna front In the direc- tion of Moscow. Tho officer declared that Col. Avaloff-Bermon- now con- trolled the Dvlna bridgeheads, which, however, were nienanced by tho Itts, who wero approaching from the north.. Tho officer declared tho German sol diers fighting under Avaloff-Bermondt- 's command wore determined to remain In the Russian service and fight with the bourbcolso against the Bolshevlkl. He nccused the Letts and EsthonlanB of being \slmon puro Bol.ihevikl,\ nnd charged that Great Britain was inciting them to action against Avaloff-Bermond- t. It wai-hl- s view that If Avaloff-Bfrmon- wns able to hold the Dvlna front and advance eastward It would be a comparatively slmplo matter to effect a Junction with Gen, Denlklne. The army otflcer declAred the senti- ment of tho former German troops who havo refused to return homo might bo expressed thus: \We aro superfluous nt home, and, therefore, wo propose to servo our country under the Russian colors until tho Bolshevlkl menace Is over.\ WANTS NAVAL PAY ON SLIDING SCALE McGowan Would Adjust Com- pensation to Varying Costs of Living. WOULD COST .9131,000,00a' Chief of Bureau of Supplies Tells House Committee Men Need Increase. Special Despatch to Tne Sex. Washington, Oct. 15. Frequent of naval pay schedules accord- ing to changes In the cost o living was recommended to the Houso Naval Affairs Committee today by Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, Chief of tho Navy Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. He suggested that tho pay be In- creased or decreased hereafter In the same percentage as the average Increase or decrease In the prices of all necessi- ties. This could be done through a system of Index numbers such ns are now In use by the Department of Iabor which show that the cost of living has gone up SO per cent, slnco 1914, ho said. For this reason Admiral McGowan asked that Navy pay schedules for the pres- ent bo Increased SO per cent, over tho amounts of 1914. This would mean an additional expenditure of '(131,000,000 annually, ho .said. \This would not mean 80 per cent, over the .present schedules slnco they were Increased shortly after tho war,' he snld, \but It would bring tho nay up to tho high figure set by the cost of living. Then If tho cost of living can, be rbduced, I nm sure that naval officers and men would be willing to have their pay reduced. It is tho only fair way to treat tho men who nre sticking by tho Navy when more lucrative work Is being offered them elsewhere. \I believe the Increase should be made nil nlong the line because tho Admirals nnd Captains arc feeling the pinch of high prices as well ns the Junjor officers and enlisted men, I know of a Rear Admiral who has been compelled to re- duce his life Insurance because his salary Is Inadequate.\ Representative Kelley (Mich.) Indi- cated that he favored larger per' cent. Increases for tho men of lower rnnki than the hlirher officers, pointing out that Rear Admirals nt sea now receive SIO.HOO and $9,400 ashore. \But the trouble Is,\ Rear Admiral McGowan continued, \that many officers aro not nblo to pay their' bills on pres ent schedules nnd are not living as well ns they did several years ago. when they had n lower rank. Certainly the Gov- ernment does not want to treat In this manner the men who served during the war nnd wish to continue to servo their country.\ Tho Chief Paymaster also urged that Increased allowances bo given to mid- shipmen nt Annapolis. Representative Hicks (N. Y.) pointed out that officers at sea have bedding, toilet nrtlclcs and other equipment furnished them, whip) tho midshipmen must pay for all of this out of their pay. ASK WILSON TO VETO ENFORCEMENT BILL Brewers Send Petition and Opinion by Root. Washington, Oct. 15. The United States Brewers' Association y pe- titioned President Wilson to disapprove tho prohibition enforcement bill nwnltlng his signature nnd recommended a new bill providing for enforcement of the prohibition constitutional amendment only. In tho accompanying brief tho brewers renewed their contention that Congress has \no constitutional author- ity to enact nny presently enforceable YiroHbltlon law, except as a measure Qlctnted by war emergency or necessity,\ as there Is now no wnr emergency. The opinion is signed by Ellhu Root. William D. Guthrie nnd William U Mar- - bury of counsel for tho brewers, and con tends that beer containing 2.75 per cent, of alcohol by weight Is not Intoxicating.

The request of the Wilson Administration for Congres- sional sanction to tho despatch of an American expeditionary force Into the foimer domain of tho Sultan of Turkey fo\ the purposo of succoring tho embry- onic Armenian State Is doomed to re jection. This has been determined by the special subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee, headed by Senator Harding (Ohio).

It Is behoved that the Forolgn Rela- tions Committee will bo prompt to sus- tain the recommendations of tho sub- committee nnd when the resolution of Sciintcr Williams makes Its appearance In tho Senate. If It ever, does, a drubbing Will doubtless be administered there as well. \erftitor Harding expressed the opinion to flay that Congress would Interpose no obstacles to the recruiting on American soil of nn expeditionary force of, Ar- menians to go to tho relief and support of the, lnnd of their nativity or extrac- tion. He also said Congress might bo willing even to support such a move- ment with nn appropriation for nrmlng and equipping a force so mobilized. Or the question of American troops being used to bolster up tho new Ar- menian republic Senator Harding was unwilling to talk but from other sources tho Information was obtained that the subcommittee was adamant.
