Ansell to the published procedure by Major General Enoch H. Crowdcr, em bracing a personal attack on General Ansell. "I think the Secretary of War ought to give General Ansell's statement to the public, and bellevo that he will do so," said Senator Chamberlain. "This should )(o done, not only bcenuse tho statement Is nn affirmative contribution of great Informative value upon tho sub ject of military justlco itself, but be cause common fairness and Justlco to the officer who has advocated tho neces sity of reforming tho present court martial system, require It." Senator Chamberlnln's telegram to Secrctnry Baker follows: . "Upon my request I have been fur nished by the Acting Secretary of War a copy of the statement made by Oen eral Ansell and addressed to the Secre tary of Wnr in reply to tne statement mado by General Crowder In defense of tho present court-martial system, vvhtrh wnn mleimpri hv vnu for publica tion last Monday. Tho statement of General Ansell has been furnished mo confidentially nnd for the Information of the military committee alone. I have read the statement with care. In my Judgment, It Is a complete answer to tho publlslud defense of the present court martial system, and shows affirmatively and convincingly the necessity of court martial reform, a subject In which the public and Congress are now vitally Interested. I therefore regard this state ment ns being In a real sense a public document and one which you should be as quickly disposed to give to the public as you were tho statement made In de fense of the system. I accordingly re-, quest that you authorize the Acting Sec retary to release this statement for pub lication, not nt a late date, but Imme diately, when the public mind Is frcsn with the subject nnd is desirous of re ceiving It." It was believed that Senator Cham berlain's action was based on 'ho view that the Ansell reply embraced not only a full response to Genernl Crowder and a written charge of misstatement of fact by General Crowdcr, but that it is of public Interest. Senator Chamberlain. It Is thought, is determined to support General Ansell, who has been demoted to a lieutenant colonelcy. League Has Real Teeth, Says Taft Continued from Page One which Its language dors not justify. These fears can, without any consider able change or language or additions, be removed. The language of the covenant is In diplomatic phrases, ,1s verbose and not direct. If, however, we look nt most of the treaties In our history, nnd most treaties of the world of Importance, It will be found thnt this Is characteristic of all of them. Thoy nre not drawn with concise, direct words of a business con tract, or In the elenrer style of a do mestic statute. No Danger to I'nlted States When reduced to such a style the covenant becomes quite clenr and pre sent") to me no danger whatever of In volving the United States In any obliga tion or burden which Its people would not be, and ought not to be. glad to bear in the preservation of the peace of the world and their own. Tnke, for Instance, tho Monroe Toc- trine. Tho Monroe Doctrine In spirit and effect Is a policy of the United States which forbids nny non-American nation, by external nggresvlon, by pur chase or by Intrigue, to ncqulre the ter ritory In vvhole or in part, or the gov ernmental power In whole or In part, of any country or nation In this western hemisphere. So far as externnl aggres sion Is concerned, the policy Is fully cov ered by Article X of the covenant, which would enable tho United States to use tho whole power of the league to pre serve the doctrine In nddltlon to Its own. So fnr as the acquisition of such terri tory or power by purchase or Intrigue Is concerned, the United States could nt once bring the matter before the body of delegates of the nntlons, which will Include AM the American nations of North, South and Central America. Un less the whole body of delegates so con stituted unanimously rejects the Mon roe Doctrine of the United States, the United States Is completely at liberty lotion can uL supposed .batTucl, a unanimous report could be obtained from a body -of delegates representing seventeen or eighteen countries of this western hemisphere? though I have this view, I am entirely willing nnd will be glad if a reservation moro sat isfying and explicit for those whoso fears are roused could- be adopted Into tho covenant. Would Clarify Covenant Second. From the plan of the cove nant, In the language of Lord Robert Cecil, one of Ub chief draftsmen, and from the general rules of construction of International agreements, I think that' the action cf the executive council, un less otherwise expressly provided, must be unanimous. This would necessitate the concurrence' of a representative of the United States in such recommenda tions and other action It may, in the course of Its duties In the league, have to take. The same thing Is true with respect to the body of delegates. But 1 would be entirely willing to have the rule of unanimity stated expressly and It would clarify what troubles many. Third. Doubt has been expressed ns to the time during which this covenant In to run and the time during which its obligations are to continue. There Is II llnllrn T ...n.il.1 I... nnnr no exnreaa inimiium nuwiw uu glad to have a definite time, say of ten years for the league as a whole and perhaps five years as the term for tho obligation to restrict nrmament within a limit agreed upon by the Congress of the United States. This would relieve many who reasonably fear perpetual ob ligations. My own view Is that unless this be done the nations composing tho league will construe this to be a cove-' nnni from which any ono of them may Svlthdtnw nfter reasonable notice. I think It Is wiser to give it a uennlto term than to have It a covenant, from which any member may withdraw at ,wl)l. Co Radlcnl Revision I don't mean to say there may not be other changes of a similar character that would am in relieving umoumied objections.

The suggestions of the impoislhle and radically different leagues which have been put forward as a better solution than the present ono will not bo par ticularly relevant or helpful. To pro vide for amendments and reservations that do not change tho structure of tho league and Its essence and do satisfy doubting conscientious Americans In re spect to tho safety of tho United States In the obligations assumed Is a high nnd Important duty of tho representatives of the United States in this conference. If they perform It they will help mate rially to secure tho ratification of the trenty. Of course, the securing of amendments nfter fourteen nations have fought their way by earnest discussion to an agree-1 ment in committee is not rree irom uim culty. European nntlons anxious1 to se curo our Joining the league will consent to reservations and limitations as to strictly American questions nnd policies; but It Is not the eatlcst task to draw these In such form ns to prevent their having wider effect. The solution of this problem will be facilitated by a consid eration and Btudy of the ctltlclsms which aro constructively directed to rendering this league unobjectionable. I regret to Ray that many of the speeches are so fnr afield and so entirely unwarranted by tho present language of the cove nant that they are not helpful. tAn editorial reprinted from yesterday's Pub lie Ledger.

Lifting Blockade Precludes Strife Continued from To One wars, the victor dealt with a dynasty nnd had the power to removo tho dynast, nnd so could enforce peace: but, to enforce a resented peace on seventy million persons Is a totally different task. Favor More Just Peace The chances in this situation favor a more Just peace. Tho London Express correspondent In ParlH says that English Opinion is growing in favor of nn immediate ad mission of Germany into the league of nations. This Is a sign of tho way the minds nro working in Paris, whero tho perception is increasing that tho policy of writing tho terms of peace nnd .then saying to Germany, "Sign here!" will bo difficult to carry out Thero is a report, also, that the Peace Conference la beginning to feel that tho German delegates should havo a chance to discuss the peace terms In Paris. This is a total chango from tho program of a few days ago, when tho conference was wedded to the Idea that Germany could be forced to sign what ever tho conference decided. Tho biggest factor in t!ie conferenco today Is not President Wilson, or Premier Lloyd George, or Premier Clemenceau. but tho German people, j The question of what will be the Or-1 man policy when invited, to sign the I peace treaty dominates the thought of tho wliolo conference. Tho probability Is, and this Is tho brightest aspect of the conference . mat. niter tiermany is invited to send . ., . , , -. , , ,. . I Its delegates to Paris, nnd nfter much . discussion nnd protracted negotiations, the final result will be a peace com promise that will come nearer to President Wilson's fourteen points than tho peace now being written here. niocUado Completely Lifted TVi-l VAanlt nf 4 It n nnnfniAnnn n f T1ii I .. tn to bill, W4, 11C .UIIIV.I l IIV.I. 11 V -b't u- I sels is nn almost complete lifting of j the blockade.
