Modifications Probably Will Be] Made in Proposals of Confefence. i TAFT CHOSEN AS CHAIRMAN; PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—That modifications may be made in pro- posed plans for a league of nations in an effort to prevemt war was evi-| dent today when the members of the national provisional committee began | discussions with a view to omatnmx! the support of public opinion and of | governments In the forming of such/ a body. All those who addressed to- day’s conference gave hearty support | to the general objects of the league. | Former President Taft was selected an chairmon of the confersnce and several | committees were appointed, Including a committee on resolutions which will | present declaration of principles and | also select a name for the organization that is to further the cause of the pro- posed league. After sot speeches had been made by Theodors Marburg, Baltimore, former iminfster to Pelgium; Prof. John Bates Clark, Columbia university, and Bdward ‘A. Filene, Boston, all of whom gave strong endorsement to the proposed feague of peace, the conference recelved resolutions to be acted upon by the com- ‘mittee on: resolutions. Mr. Fllene in his address advocated a modification in the ‘wcheme of the league so that economic Dressure can be brought to bear on na- | tlons that are intent on going to war | ‘before the new league uses its military ‘power to prevent hostilities. ‘Willlam Dudley Foulke, Indiana, offered o the first article of the proposed league anh amendment which, in effect. would lsave to the nations in the league the option to place in the treaties they sign the specific things they declare shall be Josticiable or nonfusticlable. Mr. Foulke did not believe\an international tribunal ahould decide internal affairs of any mation, such as naturalization or fmmi- sration questions. Victor C. Hergér, Wisconsin, proposed an amendment that where two nations ®0 to war after the league has exhausted arms or ammunition to the combatants, but that there shall be no interference with food supplies. Four articles, which had been agreed upon by the provisional committee as a basis for the conference, were presented to the meeting today, and it was hoped by members of the committee that thed would be adopted and sent to President making the trip, Meyer Spies ONE OF THE ARMORED CARS EN ROUTE TO THE COAST—Bud Cohn, Omaha lad, stops his fighting machine in front of The B ee building.
