6 BORAH WOULD PUT LEAGUE UP j TO PEOPLE'S VOTE Demands Question of Amer ica's Entry Be Decided by Prebiscitc By Associated Press New York, March 7.—Opposition in varying degrees to the League of Nations, as outlined in the tentative covenant brought home by President Wilson was voiced by Senators , Borah, ot Idaho; Reed, of Missouri, and Thomas, pf Colorado, in ad dresses before the Society of Arts ■ and Science here last night. Senator Borah, declaring that l "those who have wrecked Europe j for 300 years have absolute control j of the proposed league of natione," j demanded that the question of i America's entry into the league be . decided by a plebiscite of the people, j Senator Thomas urged that the ; formation of a world league be post- j poned until after the conclusion of ] peace and that a league plan then be worked out "calmly and in the light of experience gained from the J peace settlement." Calls It Automatic Senator Keed declared that the construction of the league was "es sentially autocratic," that the Amer ican people had been misled regard ing it, and that it was "high time patriots aroused themselves to the hidden and sinister purposes of the undertaking " Calling attention to the fact that the United States would have but one vote in the executive council of the proposed league, while Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan each would have one vote. Senator Borah declared that "if there arose a conflict between European poli cies and American policies, there would be one Asiatic vote, three Eu ropean votes and but a single Amer ican vote." "The power of war or peace,' he declared, "would rest with five dip lomats. three of them European, sit- < ting behind closed doors." Asserting he had been asked what he would offer in place of the lea gue, he declared he had to offer "the intense nationalism of Wash ington, of Monroe, of Lincoln, of | Theodore Roosevelt." Should Live Own Life "America should live her own life," he continued. "I would be willing to take Woodrow Wilson's arm and walk arm In arm with him as William H. Taft did here the other night, if he would stand by this declaration which he made after , America entered the f war: " 'When we go out from this pres ence we ought to take with us that J idea that we are devoted to the pur- | pose of enabling America to live ; her own life, to be the most just, the [ most progressive, the most honor able nation in the world.' " Senator Thomas said he had stud- j led the proposed league plan pre disposed to enroll himself in its ! favor, but had found himself unable I to do so. He was in favor, he said, of some j plan which would "make wars more i infrequent, if not impossible." but | lie regarded the proposed league as I tilled with dangers to peace. "This is a commitment to a new t national policy, more easily made | than abandoned," he asserted. "I believe in the sanctity of treaty ob- ; ligation." Opposed to Japan One of the most serious draw- j backs in the proposed plan, he de- i clared, was the fact that Japan, j which he characterized as a virtual | autocracy, was a charter member, i Although the question of lifting im migration restrictions had been drop- ' ped by Japan. Senator Thomas pre dicted that this question would con tinually be revived in the league with embarrassment to the United States. "Japan's ideals are not our ideals," he declared. "With such mixed membership, I can see only disaster ahead." Another provision which Senator Thomas held forth as "dangerous" was that for international labor set tlements.

STARVATION HAS "RED RUSSIA" IN GRIP; CATS AT $3 British Refugees Report Ter rible Situation in Petro grad and Moscow Loudon. March 7. Starvation prevails throughout Bolshevik Rus sia and is killing oft the population by thousands. Diseases due to un der nourishment are rampant and ■ food is so scarce in Petrograd and Moscow that cats sell rapidly for| $3 each. The undertakers cannot cope with conditions as there is not' enough wood for cotflns. , These reports have been brought , to the attention of the British gov ernment within the last week by J British subjects recently returned i from Russia. Several of the Brit-1 ishers have lived nearly all their lives in Russia and left Russia be- ! cause of the Intolerable conditions. Their evidence is unanimous that the food situation is indescribably terrible and that if means are not found to alleviate it the inhabitants of Bolshevik Russia may starve to death. The Britishers say that the plight of Russia is a direct result of the reign of anarchy and terror instituted by Lenine and JYotzky. They say the Russian problem has ; ceased to be a political question and i has become a question of common j humanity. i Thousands are dying daily in the j great centers of population like Pet- | lograd, Moscow. Kiev and Odessa, j In Petrograd alone the deaths from j famine three weeks ago numbered | 200 daily. Typhoid or "hunger tp- ! phus" is carrying off young and old ! everywhere and in Moscow glanders is epidemic. There is no fuel for lighting and ! millions live in pitch darkness after . nightfall. The troubles of the Rus- ; sians are further aggravated by lack ; of coal and wood which can be ob- | tained only by the very rich or by. the favorites and parasites of the Bolshevik government.

PROHIBITION TO GET LITTLE RUM IN WAREHOUSES Big Buying Movement of Con sumers, Even Under Tax, Is Probable Washington, March 7.—National j prohibition next July 1 will find onlyj about 50,000,000 gallons of liquor] In bonded warehouses, barred from • disposition for beverage purposes, if | the present demand fot whisky con-| tinues during Intervening months.! Officials who have observed the er fcct of high tnxeß In the past believe,! however, that withdrawals from; bond will decrease tinder tho new! revenue law, and that between 60,-! 000.000 and 75,000,000 gallons will be left in warehouses July 1. It is conceded that it is impossible' to force the effect of approaching prohibition on the demand for liquor to be stored away by consumers, and ofllcia's say a big movement of buy ing even under tho increased tax, may develop and leave the quantity of liquor left In bond, is smaller than the advance estimates. Doesn't Include All The estimates do not take into consideration liquor which may be stored in cellars or attics of pros pective consumers. Nor do they In clude any stocks which wholesale I or retail dealers may; not sell before the prohibition wave catches them. These are not measurable by any| official reports. Revenue bureau officials calculate! that at present bonded warehouses! connected with distilleries, but under j lock and key of government agents, hold less than 90.000,000 of the 200,- 000,000 gallons in stock when manu facture ceased September 9, 1917 un der the food c r.servation act. With drawals In January and February have been less than the 10,000,000 or more gallons in December, ac cording to Indications bhsed on pre liminary reports from revenue agents. On January 1, 112,000.000 gallons of distilled spirits were reported in i bond, including 6,660,000 gallons not! available for beverage purposes, j About 15 per cent of those figures must be deducted as allowance for leakage and evaporation from bar rels. On December 1, the latest date for which itemized figures aro available, the stock of distilled spirits in bond was distributed as follows: Whisky, 108,346,000 gallons; rum, 606,000; gin. 2.338,000; alcohol, 5.- 760,000; refined alcohol or "high wines," 3,744,000; and brandy. 2,- 316,000. Normal Rate of Demand The normal rate of demand, measured by withdrawal from bontk had been between 4,500.000 and 6,- 000,000 gallons a month until last October, when withdrawals jumped to 8,358,000. In November they were 9,59 7,000, and in December it is esti mated they ran over 10,000,000 gal lons. while in January and February indications are that the demand probably was nearer 9,000,000 gal lons. Most of this liquor was taxed when taken out of the bonded ware house at the rate of $3.20 a gallon. Under the new revenue act, the rate I is doubled amounting to s£.4o. Con sequently the increase amounts to $3.20 a gallon or 80 cents a quart, and the aggregate tax per quart is U-fiO* .-t V vJMW* By terms of the pending bill pro viding for enforcement of prohibi tion under the constitutional amend ment effective next January 16, the President would be empowered to appropriate for government pur poses.

Beginning at Archangel'and extending to the fur thest point south in the forests where the Northern Hussion expeditionary force is operating ugalnst the liol shevik, or the "bolo," us the soldiers call him up here, the work of Amer ican engineers is evident. They went into ulmost impussabie swamps in the early autumn and built roads, blockhouses, barracks und bridges, to suy nothing of a corduroy road or a railroad switch track now and then. In the dead of winter, when the thermometer ; has gone far below zero, they have done the same thing in the snow. Wood Close at Hand Fortunately for the engineers, their most needed supply wood, has been close ut hand. The Hrllish officers commanding the expedition have never ccused to praise the speed with which these Americans have I frequently gone into a forest and transformed some of its trees into livable barracks or blockhouses wlth j in a couple of days' time. The country through which the I allied and Hussian trobps are op erating is, for the most part, very I sparsely settled. At some points the I American engineers huve doubled (the existing number of houses in a j village. They have built, built and are still building. One of their Jobs on the Vologda railroad sector of the front has been to transform rough little' Hussian boxcars into habitations for troops. They have double-walled them against the cold and in a compuny train one can find bath cars, kitch ens, offices, dormitory cars, hospi tals and nearly every kind of a com missary storo or canteen, all built from boxcars and, for the most part, lighted by electricity.
