ACHIEVEMENTS OF NEW ENGLAND DIVISIONS IN WAR Boston, Nov. 2L—A grephic story, the achievements of the Twenty- h (New England) divisionun the war, wa stold at a gathering of edu- cators and others at the state house today by Fred C. Walcott, an assistant to Kood Administrator Herbert C.| Hoover. Mr. Walcott, who regently returned from Europe, was a speaker at a food conservation meeting. “There are three numbers on the lips of every boy and girl in Franc.” he said. “They are the First, Second and Twenty-Sixth. Those three divisions sayed France. They saved the world.” Mr. Wolcott reviewed the progress of the German drive of last spring, telling how the allies were driven back 3 miles a day until on mans were within thir- ican generals said: “We continued Mr. Walcott. 'he French generals were in doubt. *We haven’t beld for three weeks,’ they said. ‘Our men are tired and worn out.’ ‘At 3 a. m. on July 18 the marines of the Second Division were thrown then the rest of the Second, then in the First and Twenty-Sixtu.

Let it use this power.” 2 The Temps admits’ that Holland’s receiving the kaiser .could be under- stood while it was not known what was going on in Germany, when re- fusal might mean that he would be lynched at a frontier post, but adds: “Nothing can excuse the outrage that the man who caused the death of millions should enjoy peaceable ex-] istence in a country which-would have lost its independence if we had been defeate: “If William is placed aboard a boat or conducted to the Belgian frontier, the allies will know. what .they ought to do with him. If he is conducted to the German frontier, the Berlin gov- ernment will have an opportunity to show the -depth of its republican con- ctions by the ardor it displays in] punishing the authors of the war.” TO WITHHOLD TOTAL TILL WAR FUND IS COMPLETE New York, Nov. 21.—Official figures on the total subscription to the United War Work campaign will be withheld until “continuation drives’ planned by New York, Chicago and other cities which failed to Attain their quotas have been completed, according to an “nnouncement tonight by., John R.

John W. Sen. Reed Opposed to Lea_gu_qg[ Nations . ) Quotes George Washington’s Advice Against “Entangling Alliances.” ‘Washington, Now. 21.—Orpposition to a league of nations was voiced late today by Senator Reed of Missouri, deriocrat, who, in a speech in the sen- ate. declared any_arrancement that would cause the United Stiates to be embroiled in European troubles was “the most monstrous dectrine ever proposed in this republic.” George Washington's rdvice against “entangling alliances” was read by Senator Reed, who declared that the United States became the foremost na- tion in wealth, man power and edu- cation because of adhérence to “the teachings of the creator of the re- public.” “Now it is proposed 1 renounce our ancient poli continued Sena- tor Reed, “and become entangled in every broil in Rurope of the present or that may happen hercafter. That is the most monstrous docirine ever proposed in his republic.” An international court nlso was de- clared to be dangerous by Senator Reed, who pointed out that for it fo be effective, 1* must have z force able to conquer sy single nation in the world or any combination of nations not in the league. “This army of the court would be able to conquer the United States,” de- clared Senator Reed. “A man who would creat> an army that can conauer the United States is a greater traitor than Benedict Ar- nold.” Senator Reed said it was not known who would command this declared that “in time pe man will be at its head. Regarding the proposed al court, Senator Reed s: “If vou stop to think, vou will be appalled at the idea that any man could ever have suggested Such a thing.” “If the United States would have a single vote in the court” Senator Reed said, “it would rank with Haiti, Liberia and other small countries in settlement of questions vital to the life of America. “If we are to have greater represen- tation, what becomes of ihe doctrine of equality of nations?’ Senator Reed then presented charts showing the close blood relationship of crowned heads of Furops, and said: “Imagine the conditions of the Amer- nternation- ican repiblic going into this court composed of representatives of these ruling houses—blood reiatives. They make a spider's web into which the American fly is invited ‘“Dare any man propose to submit the Monroe Doctrine to any tribunal of Buropean kings or of European na- tions?" shouted Senator Reed. Regarding the league of nations, Senator Reed said he did not know how ' “dreamers dream on this sub- jeet” but declared that principles of Jnternational law can be settled by treaty withonit resort to a leasue. In [discussing the composition of the league, he asked if “the unspeakable Turk” would be included with the Roman Catholic. Russian, Jewish and Protestant churches. “Does anvone believe rhat England would yield her mighty flect?” he ask- ed. England would be the master na- tlon "of the world, and all other na- tions would be subject to ker if she so chose.” Furope, Senator Reed continued, often has been in war because of the hatred of rival races and he said this hatred will spring into flame, “as long as there are men and Wwomen on the earth.” The world war. he asserted, might be tracel to this hatres. Ambitions of France and Germany to extend their horders, and of Engiand to place its power n cvery quarter of ‘the world. “are part of the blood of the people,” the senator added. “In all this maelstrom of ambition,” he continued, it is proposed to thrust the United States.

He declared he protested against such a policy. “n the name of the fathers of the republic and of the boys of the nation Referring to the war, venator Reed said’ he estimated that it would cost the United States fifty thousand mil- lion dollars. Senator Phelan of California, in the last ten minutes of the session of the senate, replicd to Senator Reed. He said that the Mi enator's argu- ment that ra erenices among nations militat, against such a plan §s one of the arguments in favor of it.
