marked the intrigues of Von HernstorfT.
Albert and Schweitzer in the years be

i "The times are too tense with dnn

On one side we hnve the t-nmc old
crowd of German ngents mnsqueradinn
s good American citizens. On the
other side we perceive American citi

In Congress we hear nnd stand nghnt
at the ignorant nnd innllcloiis outbursts
of certain legislators, unmindful of
their country's welfare.
"Their voices nrc the voices of the
elected Iteprcsentnthos and Senators in

j amendment No. 2. proposing to make
the office of State Superintendent of
Jliblle Instruction appointive instead

ures, but le"-s than the alien nmendment
which would eliminate from the Con

and, therefore void any registration
statutes now in force.
All other amendments seemed to be

tween miners nnd mine guards.
Stories told by persons friendly to

pursuit of armed mine guards so that
pictures of the "refugees" could be
taken, while union s.vmpnthlzers
brought details of rough treatment nt
the hnnds of those opposed to unioniz

It seemed to be established that num

Assembly Again Postpones pis-
cusslon of Bolivia's Urgent
Request
inflTH to RPVRF TRFATY
LOATH TO REVISE TREATY
By tho Associated Tress
Geneva, Sept 7. The Assembly of
the Lcncue of Nollons todny postponed
again discussion of the request of Bo
livia that the long-disputed question
of tho provinces of Tncnn nnd Arlcn,
now under the administration of Chile,
he placed on tho agenda of the Assem
bly. The discussion was imt oct till
n later date on the suggestion of the
new president of the Assembly, II. A.
Van Karnebcek, the Dutch Foreign
Minister.
When today's session openeil Angus -tin
Edwards, head of the Chilean dele
gation, took the floor and deblared thnt
tho request of Bolivia ought to be re
jected without debate. In an ardent,
tloquont speech Senor Edwards defined
Chile's position ns uncompromising.
He rccnllcd thnt the President of Bo
livia 1iad declared he would respect
the trenty of 1004 between Chile nnd
Bolivia, revision of which Bolivia hns
asked the Assembly to tnko under con
sideration. Asserts Treaty Is Applicable
The Lenpue's Incompetence to revise
Hie treaty of 1004 wob tho principal ar
gument of Senor Edwards' speech. He
declared the covenant of tho League of
Nations provides for the revision of in
uppllcablc treaties only.
"Can any one pretend that this
treaty, under which wo hnve lived in
peace for seventeen years, is inapplicn
IdeV" he neked.
He chnrnctorlzcd the action of Bo
livia ns a "maneuver" to CHCapc the
obligations of a treaty concluded in due
form. Referring to Bolivia's conten
tion thnt the trenty had been imposed
by force, Senor Edwards said:
"But whnt trenty of peace has not
bten the result of the victory cf one
ndversniy over another? If tho League
were called on to revise nil such treat
ies, it would have to make over the map
of the viorld."
Addressing himself directly to Carlos
Aramn)o, head of the Bolivian delega
tion, Senor Edwnrds cried:
"Let me recall the many tics that
unite us. Let mo sny to you that Chile
wants them to hold, nnd I hope )ou
will not persist In nn nttltude that risks
the breaking of them."
Senor Arnmnyo sat Impassive nnd
did not betray that the Chilean dele
gate's words had made the slightest Im
pression on him.
Frescnls Bolivia's Viewpoint
Then Senor Arnmayo presented Bo
livia's vlepwolnt. He snid the treaty
was, in the opinion of the Bolivians,
the result of twenty-nine yenrs of pres
sure. "That treaty," he cried, "is not
only inapplicable, but it is, in fnct.
unapplied. There can be no hope for
permanent pence in "South America so
long ns that treaty remains unre
vised." Senor Arnmayo then proposed that
Bolivia's application for revision be
sent to' committee for incstigatlon and
report. lie claimed this procedure
would bo regular under the rules of the
assembly.
In conclusion, Senor Arnmnyo quoted
former President Polncnrc, of France,
ns giving the opinion that the League
of Nations was competent to deal with
su(h questions.
Van Kurncbeck lost night told Senor
Aramn)o the Assembly could not place
Itself in the dangerous position of tacit
ly going on record as being competent
to revise treaties. He declared that
sucli a course would establish a prece
dent for possible revision of the Ver
sailles Treaty and would cause grave
alarm in France nnd other allied coun
ti ies.
