OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS WILSON'S LEAGUE OF NATIONS. In all the mass of discussion for and against ' ' the League of Nations, we do not recall having ‘previously seen any bearing on the difference be- ' ‘tween the wording of the French capy of the League Covenant and the American copy as pre- sented to Americans for their approval or disap- " proval. Our attention has ‘been called to this " by an article which has come to our desk, an article of sufficient merit to be given to our readers for their consideration: RESERVATIONS NECESSARY'IN' WILSON LEAGUE. By H. R. Spencer. e A curious thing is noticeable in the. Wilson League of Nations, and that is the difference in the wording of the French draft of the league and *“that’ of ' the American draft which ‘Mr. Wilson . wbrought back-from Versailles and submitted. to the senate for approval. Both the French and American drafts bear the signature of “The Honor- able Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, acting in his own name and by his own proper authority.” 3 . Article Ten' of the league, Which Mr. Wilson characterizes as the heart of the league, is as follows: ; * “The members of the league undertake to respect and preserve as against external ag- gression, the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggression, or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression, THE COUNCIL SHALL ADVISE upon the means by which this obligation shall be fql- “illed.” Democratic speakers are saying to the voters of the country that under Article Ten cf the league the United States will never be under obligation to engage in foreign wars, that all the cadncil can e do in case of a foreign war is to ADVISE, and that the United States can do as it pleases about accepting the advice. '’ 'The French copy of Arti¢cle Ten is as follows: ‘“In case of aggression, or menace, or danger of - aggression, the council discusses and DECIDES ‘UPON THE MEANS OF ASSUR- . ING THE EXECUTION of this dbligation.” _ “'The difference in these two drafts of the league 'is.manifest. If the council under the French cov- l to Europe, ‘Asia or Africa, France, or any other members of the league, in case of refusal on our part, might very well say: The league expects you to keep your contract; here is a written agree- ment, bearing the signature of “The Honorable Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, acting in his own name and by his own proper authority”; be good enough to act promptly and send your army and navy as directed by the coun- cil. Refusal on our part would bé a ground for declaring war against us. The singular part of this situation is that Presi- dent Wilson is presumably a French scholar. He is a historian, and at one time was president of Princeton university. It is hardly supposeable that 80 learned a person would have attached his name to so important a document as the League of Nations covenant without km;wing what he was signing. If ignorant .of the French language, the president must out of the multitude of experts taken with him to Versailles have had someone who could read and translate French. If this singular difference between the English and the French versions of the league compac} occurred but once it possibly might be attributed to an oversight on the part of Mr. Wilson, “acting in his own name and by his own proper authority,” but the same thing occurs in Article 21 of the proposed league, in such manner that it is most convincing that the difference of language used was by design rather than inadvertance. Article 21 of the league is as follows: ) “Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of international engage-l " ments, such as treaties of arbitration or REGIONAL UNDERSTANDINGS, LIKE THE MONROE DOCTRINE, for securing the main- tenance of peace.” * The French version of Article 21 contains this language: “Nothing in the Monroe doctrine shall affect the League of Nations.” It is well known that all the countries at the peace table have no love for the Monroe doctrine; it is well known that the first draft of the league covenant contained no reference whatever to the Monroe doctrine, and that it was not until Mr. Wilson was informed by members of the senate that no League of Nations compact would everybe approved by it unless the Monroe doctrine were safe-guarded that Mr. Wilson inserted in his Eng- lish version of the league: “Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect . REGIONAL UNDERSTANDINGS like the Monroe doctrine.” At the same time there was inserted in the French draft the provision that: “Nothing in the Monroe doctrine shall affect the League of Nations.” It is easy to see what the attitude of European countries would be in case the Monroe doctrine should ever be brought into question. They might, with propriety, say: Here is your written obliga- tion, signed by your president, in the most explicit terms, that nothing in the Monroe doctrine shall affect the League of Nations. ‘Whether these differences in the French yersion of the Wilson league are the result of inadvertence, or whether they were purposely placed there to give the associated nations a handle on which to hang interpretations that may later arise, they only em- phasize the necessity of the senate’s reservations - placing beyond question this nation’s attitude on the doctrine we have maintained during the lasf hundred and forty years. i enant decides that"American soldiers are to besent COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (By BXONANGE RDITOR) The Cut-Out Hoodlum.

There’s a great deal more talk among the people about Henry's price reduction than about politics. The conviction is general now that there is.to be a general slide.

With an open market in Hibbing the farmers hel_'eabouu are not interfered with in the price- fixing of their produce, and it is doing more to reduce the high cost of living than anything that has happened since the profiteers gained control of the nation. We believe that'an open market, oper- ated state-wide, would have the same beneficial effect as that shown in Hibbing—would cut out the grafting middlemen who rob the farmer of his profit and take every wage increase away from the laborer.—Hibbing News. i/ Sue Anyway the Surest Way.

Charles Evans Hughes of New York, who resigned as judge of the United States supreme court to accept the republican nomination for president with disastrous results, a year ago was loud in his cham- pionship of the league of nations covenant.

LAST SHOWING OF SUB-PICTURE TONIGHT In “Girl of the Sea,” which is showing for the last time at the Grand theatre tonight, the audience is taken to the bottom of the ocean where many pictures were taken thru 1 wonderful invention known as the Sumbarine Tube, which enables the operator to take photographs of the wonderful life on the ocean’s bed. All of the scenes were taken in the tropics and most of them on a little island in the West Indies where the action of the story is laid. Here a girl has been cast ashore during a shipwreck years before, and has lived most of her life alone, depending on the natural resources. of ‘her sur- roundings for her subsistence. With the coming of a rescue party, a lively drama follows in which the girl is the central figure. ¥ ‘The drama ‘s full of suspense and intense situations with thrills aplen- ty. TDhey include a battle with a giant o¢tupus, a fight in the shrouds of the ?lhlp. attempted assassination beneath''the ocean, and the efforts of 1 band ‘of scoundrels to get posses- sion of the wealth that righttully be. longs t¢ the girl. | The wonderful botanical gardems of the southern seas with their vari- eminent to write several mensely before. of a Mrs. Frankau's agated inhabitants and marine life, ] are among the beautiful scenes shown ) > o in the photoplay, which is an entirely’ Wamer.s - Patterm d]llflerent production from anything ¥ [ re shown hefore on the screen. nbar:: Bett)"l Hilburn, a wonderful swim- Col"e_t‘ } PICtorlal mer and actress, plays the leading g B - ) B . ™ role. “THE GIRL WITH THE JAZZ HEART” AT GRAND A new type of girl has arrived.

IN BARRISCALE FILM A play of contrasts is “Life’s Twists,” the Robertson-Cole special, starring Bessie Barriscale, which opened at the Elko theatre last night and will head the bill 2t that popular playhouse tonight. The picture is one in which are blended an amaz- ingly artistic manner the lives of “Tina” one of the “other half” and “Muriel” one;of the “four hundred.” ‘Miss. Barriscale, who is known as one of the most versatile actresses on the screen, plays the dual role of Tina and Muriel, and gives one of the most remarkahle performances of her career. ‘Her interpretation of Tina, the little slum girl who is lift- ed from her squalid environment and placed in an atmosphere of wealth, and Muriel the beautiful society girl who learns on her wedding night that her husband married her for her mo- artistic acting. ‘Walter McGrail, one of the best known and brainiest leading men on the screen, King Baggot.
