Teb. 1M Speaking In the Senate today in support of the proposed leajrue of nations, frenalor J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, Democratic whip, de clared the lea cue would not contravene the advlco of Washington or the Monroe Doctrine, and broadlv Intimated that personal and political antanonlsm to .President Wilson lay behind the opposi tion In Congress. Senator Lewis replied hpeelflcally to recent speeches by Senators Borah, of Idaho, Republican, and Heed, of Missouri, Democrat His address, which, because of attacks on tho league, was not with held In accordance with tho President's request that debate be pontpoired, marked resumption of Senate discussion of the leapue, with prospects of daily speeches until adjournment of Confrress a week from tomorrow Attacks upon tho league. Senator Iewls averted, were based on falso fears and designed to awaken prejudice. Demanding that opponents prc."nt their plan for world peace, he asked- "Have ou any" Is there only the otce of eto from you all on whatever plan merely that it is proposed by , Wilson? Nation I Not Decelred 'The country U not deceived. It w 111 understand and when It does know that, for party politics o'r personal prej udices, their representatives would con tinue to consign the nation's children to the misery of cripples to the agony of slghtlesB eyes and order the destruc tion of their young lives forever, these Christian mothers and patriot fathers will cry down on the heads of them all the curse of heaven. "If Woodrow Wilson were a Hom.in Catallne. charged by a Cicero with con spiracy to surrender his land to the enemy of his country, and Taft a mod ern Aaron Burr, they could not have been more violently Impugned than each has been by the leaders of the opposi tion to the league of natlone," wild Mr, Lewis. "Nothing so proved the animosity to Wilson's buccess In any design as the refusal to grant him his request, cabled as ho tailed for America, to postpone discussions of the constitution of the league until ho could arrive and explain the circumstances of Its formation. The faet that there would be months after Wilson returns to Paris for the conclu sion of hip work, in which discussion of every nature could bo had, was of no In fluence on those who preferred to ex hibit everywhere their deflanco of any request ho might make. Supports Washington Ideal Tho reasons urged as a Justification for the assault have, I declare, no grounds In tho contents of tho docu ment "It is said that the document violates our policy against alliances with foreign government as opposed by Washington. I answer that the document prevents -vhat Washington opposed partial alli ances by America with any foreign country, even wero her statesmen in clined. "It requires two-th!rd3 of all to per mit any war or peace action with one. Would two-thlrda ever allow such dls ndantage to them In favor of any one against them all? "Tho constitution of tho league pro hibits the possibility of a political alli ance with any European power by bal ancing against tho European the Asi atic, Japan and all South America." "The army and navy of the United States Is provided for," Senator Lewu added. "In tho charter by words as of a kind that she shall, by her situation and peculiar geography, personally adopt and personally control." Coincides with Monroe Doctrine Of the charge that the league would violate the Monroe Doctrine, Senator Lewis said: "It was to prevent this very assump tion that section 10 of the charter pledges all of the governments In the league to resist aggression by any one state or the government of any state. "We ask why this false fear Is her alded by Senators? Tho cry Is to awaken prejudice not to convince by the truth of a situation." In reply to assertions by Senator Borah and Reed that the United States would be outvoted, particularly by Eng land with her colonies Included, Senator Lewis said: "Such Is not In the possibilities. There are eleven republics of America, with eleven votes. Then, If all Britain's col onies each have a vote, the United States, with Central ' and South America, outvotes the Europeans on any American policy, nine to five assuming only the larter republics are admitted to tho council." No Danger frem Powers In this connection Senator Lewis de plored the suggestion that there was "danger of dishonorable consolidation of tho European nations." "Every action of the Allies," he as serled, "had proven the falsity of this fear. "Tho document, on Us face, refutes every attack," Mr. Lewis continued. "I protest against our opponents as suming to create the political Issue by crying 'nationalism' against tho object of tho league. I oppose their design In trying to convince the American people that the spirit of democracy was for Internationalism of the world."

G.0.P.T0F0RCE SPECIAL SESSION Republicans May Filibuster Against Both Army and Navy Bills PEACE PACT THE REASON Argue it Contemplates Disarm. anient on Scale Obviating Program Hi a Staff Corrtupondtnt Washington, D. C, Feb. 24. The na tional capltol Is speculating as to when the extra session of the next Congress will begin and what range of leglsla-, lion It will take up In addition to the appropriation bills that will not bo fin Ished by this Congress. Thousands of letters reaching Washington dally mak. Ing inquiry on this subject Indicate the people In all parts of the country also are concerned over It. There Is no longer any doubt In well Informed circles hero that there will bo an extra session. Speculation Is not confined to how many annual appropria tion bills In addition to the army and na,y '''"" wl" remain unpassed when this Congress comes to nn end on March 4. It la considered certain that theso two bills at leost will fall of pas. sage. Willie they are determined to have an extra session of Congress the Republi cans have so far maneuvered so skill fully In both tho Senate and House that It Is almost Imposslblo to point the accusing finger at them for delaying tho business of this session to provoke Filibuster Possible There appears to be a general under standing, however, that If It should be come necessary the Republicans will force an extra session by filibustering against the nrmy and navy bills. These bills which call for an army of G10, 000 men and for the largest shipbuild ing construction program the world has ever seen they are prepared, to claim, do not represent the wishes of the American people, Tho Republicans are prepared to c'alm as Justification for a filibuster, if one becomes necessary, that tho Paris peace treaty contemplates naval and military disarmament on a scale entirely out of keeping with tho programs provided by tho army and navy bills and that Con gress should await tho final adoption of the treaty before making Its military plans for next ear. They are anxious for nn extra session They will havo good working majorities In both the Senate and House and con trol all committees and can "run Con gress" almost as they please. At the extra session they Intend to Investigate every phase of tho war toward which criticism has been directed, with the hope that through tho exposure they can thoroughly sicken the people of tho Democratlo administration Rnd furnish abundance of political ammunition for tho campaign of 1920. Congress cannot meet against after March 4 until next December unless called by the President. There are good reasons for believing ho will put oft this call for an extraordinary session Until a dato In May, Instead of follow ing tho usual practice of calling It Im mediately after March 4. Wilson Would Avoid Criticism The President, It Is generally believed, will welcome the opportunity to return to Tarla Immediately after March 4 nnd complete the peace treaty negotiations with Congress out of session nnd with out a continual fire of criticism from his own country, Tho Republicans are convinced their success In the general elections of 1920 depend on what they do In tho extra session and In the next regular session beginning next December. It Is their Intention to pass a number of popular measures, Including some economic and Industrial reconstruction legislation de manded by business men and the return ing soldiers. There nre certain to be many Inves tigations of tho conduct of the war, be. cause tho Republicans hope to ride their candidate for President Into the White Housn largely on dissatisfaction with the War Department. The Republicans wilt shoulder enor mous responsibility when they get con trol. They must Impose tax burdens upon tho pcoplo for several years to como as heavy as those borne during tho war and without the stimulant of war to make the pcoplo bear them with out murmuring. RAJCALJOlTrWrT POLICE , Hold Forbidden -Meeting Aftct Alderman JUnkcs Appeal New York, Feb. 24. Radicals nnd pacifists attending a "Liberties Confer ence" here won a bloodless battle with the police. When tho delegates began arriving at Dclmonlco's for tho final meeting of a two-day session they wer Informed by uniformed men stationed outsldo that they could not hold th meeting, at which Scott Keating, ac. quitted last week of sedition, was to pre side. About 300 reached the ballroom, howJ ever, and refused to leave, although th lights wero turned out. Algernon Lee, Socialist Alderman, after declaring tho meeting would bo held In spite of thej police, was delegated to negotiate with the authorities. Lee learned that Allan A. Ryan, spe cial deputy commissioner, had directed Captain Duggan to forbid tho meeting.

President Wilson arrived at the hall at 2:30 o'clock. Ha entered at the West Newton street entrance, which led to the Mage. As his party reached the outer door a battery In the railway yards at the rear of tho hall fired a presidential salute of twenty-one guns. Inside the hall the band struck up "Hall to the Chief." The President was escorted to a private room at the right of the plat form and a moment later appeared on the btagc. The thousands who had found seats rose cheering and waving flags. Tho roar from the audience drowned the music of the band. The President at down, but rose to bow and smiled. The demanstratlon continued and Mr. Wilson again rose and this time waved his acknowledgments. The applause lasted two minutes. American seaplanes operated. Wc had more than 70.000 men at these bases and on the ships operating from them. Wo leased docks and buildings and In addi tion constructed hundreds of hangars, piers, hospitals, storehouses and other buildings. "Almost 30.000 officers and men now have been sent home, and all tho flying stations and bases with very few exceptions have been ovaeuated. All material of future value has been sent home. Portable houses, provisions and motortrucks have been sold to the Red Cross and the army, and what remained of lumber and other salvage material has been sold to the British and French Governments "The great Lafayette radio station near Bordeaux was Intended to Insure communication between Washington and the army and navy In case the cable systems were put out of commUsion or Intcrfcrrd with by German submarines. It has eight towers and could communi cate with the United States day and night. It was built by the navy.
