Senator Lodge's statement says part: “The United States has asked noth- ing in the peace settlement and has received and desires nothing except Lhe security and peace of the world. That peace, a majority of the senate believes cannot be achieved through the league of nations as agreed to at Versailles. We cannot mend the leagu it applies to other nations, but we are determined that it shall be made safe for the United States. Surcly we who ask no territory, who h no spoils of war, are justified in aying under what conditions we shall eter into th world alliance.” Lodge Reservations Harmfu Senator Hitchcock’s statement in pari: “The Lodge reservations structive because they go ther and work a number in the meaning of the league cove- nant.

M. Clemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George, siiting at the head of the table, chatted smilingl with Captain Andre Tardieu, Lou Klotz, and Georges Leygues of the ' French delegation, throughout the proceeding.

Cz six miles from the village of Tuam, Galway county, were attacked Thurs- day evening by a large party of men, according to reports reaching this city. The attacking party said to number about 100 men, besieged the barracks, firing repeated rifle volleys which riddled the doors and smashed all the windows. During the fight two or three bombs were thrown, one wall being demolished and one po- lice eant being slightly wounded. The occupants of the barracks r turned the fire of the night assailants. Four constables who were patrolling the neighborhood heard the explo- sion of the bonibs and bastened to the scene. When they arrived they at- cked the besiegers so vigorously that they abandoned the field. Two bold mail robberies, one near Limerick and the other near Mullin- r, were reported on Friday. About 50 pounds sterling in transit to recipients of old age pensions, was taken.
