Wiilimantle, Oct. 15.—In an address @elivered In tae town -ball here tonight befors an audience of 1500 perons United States Senator Frank B. Brande- gve asfililed the Wilson league of nations, showing the pitfails so neatly hidden away m its many articles, and how it could méver be a league of peace if car- ried 08t as now written, but instead wouid be pure and simple a breeder of future wars. Senator 'Brandegee drew a force- ful asd convigcing pleture of the mistakes of the admiflistration and told the story of the letgue from the time it was first proposed, down through its series of dif- erences which arose between the senate wd President Wilson ,over it.

I, as 2 member of the foreign relations committee, have read it and studied it, by myself and with the com- wittee. How much, 1 ask you, does the country generally and the people generally know about the treaty dealng with all the af- fairs of the FEuropean countries, their Boundaries, the amount of reparation to e paid, all sorts of intricate questions of that kind, disposition of the, conquered ferritory that was wrested from Austria, Mungary, Turkey and the other beliiger- ents; and yet we are told that the coun- try demands that the senate of the United $tates should ratify that immediately. I ®annot believe that there is ahy such feeling as that among the majority of the people of this country. Mr. Wilson prac- tieally says to us—we shall mot have with Germany unless that is all watified ; and “the democratic platform says, “without reservations which would impalr its essential integrity.” By that they mean without any change. A great many people say: “If you are @ot In favor of the treaty and the inter- ‘woven league of nations, you are opposed A9 peace” Well, I have been accused of & good many things that I was not gulity of, and some that I was: but I have never accused of beirg a warlike person.

We must sep- arate the wheat from the chaff.” The senator's speeéh here, delivered to a crowd’ of thousands in Tomlinson’s hall, concluded a day of hard campaigh- in gthrough the southeérn-half of In- diana.

One'thing on did in steal- ing this power was to.take over the ap- pointing power, delegated under the con- stitution fo the legislative branch of t government. The constitution of th country states that the president can make treaties only with the consent of congress, but. Wilson has tried to force a league of nations on the country with- out this consent. When: congress re- fused to ratify, Wilson said_I'l itake it to the people the issue for them to de- cide. Supposing every isswe that should be determjned in congress gvere carried to the people, we would have chaos, and the government would ‘g0 to ruin.

SHARP ADVANCE IN PRICE 1 OF WHEAT IN CHICAGO Chicago, Oct. 15.—After fluctuating through a narrow range for several days, wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade today advanced sharply, reaching a point 13 cents a busHel higher than yesterday’s close, and closing today nifje to_ten cents above yesterday’s >market. = Possibility thatthe request of Governor Allen that th® president take steps to protect wieat raisers might bring an embargo on Can- adian imports was given as one of the causes for the rapid climb of the mar- ket, shorts covering their commitments hurriedly. Large Canadian {mportations have been given as one of the reasons for the continued recession of ‘the mar- ket. While October options at Winnipeg Went above $2.40 and claged at $2.41, the December wheat option in “Chicago was around the $2.18 mark.

Emergency orders empoyering the lo- cal authoritie sto take stei’ to economize in the use of coal and lighting have been ssued by the secretary of mines. These orders will limit the consumption of do- méstic coal one hundred_weight weekly per - household. The fooll ministry has been given permission to resume partial rationing if it becomes necessary. As the strike has been brewing for so long the authorities have accumulated large stocks of coal, while private con- sumers have laid in supplies. Hence, un- less the strike is unduly prolonged, or the railway men decide to jom the miners, it is net expected the country will suffer seriously. Public sympathy appears to be entirely with the government. Many’ people con- cede that the ers are entitled to an in- crease in wages by virtue of the increased cost of living, but contend the men hould have accepted the gdvernment of- fer to submit the matter to an independ- ent tribunal. . In the course of a speech after the miners'"conference today, Robert Smillie, the miners’ leader, expressed regret that lne stirie’ had been forced on the miners through tige “obduracy of the government and their unwillingness to recognize the equity of the miners' demands.” He de- clared he had apodted a pacifist attitude in the belief and hope that a great in- dustrial struggle would be averted. The executive of the Transport Work- ' Federation has called a meeting for ay, and a conference of the railmen and the transnort workers will be held later on the same day to consider the at- titude towards the miners’ strike of the two other branches of the “triple alli- ance.” The possibility of a raflway tieup has already caysed a certain amount of panic. Mang travelers are arranging to -return home immediately. Jt is unofficially stated that altholigh there is a three months’ supply of coal on hand, it Will be necessary to institute rigld economiy. It is probable petrol and perishable foodstuffs will be carried on Dpassenger trains.
