WILSON’S WORK IN PARIS MADE MANY ENEMIES.

Washington, Sept. 26.—When President Wilson ended his work at the Paris peace conference, “the United States had not a friend in Europe, Asia or Africa, and our brilliant service in the war was almost forgotten in the storm of protests which followed him as he sailed for home}" Senator Cummins, republican, lowa, declared today in an address in the senate attacking the league of nations covenant. “The only thing the president brought with him which was joyfully received in America by multitudes of good people,” Senator Cummins said, “was a covenant for a league of nations and this only because these people believed, many of them without inquiry, that the league would bring peace to a warweary world and would maintain it in all the years to come. Gradually they are beginning to see the tremendous burdens we are asked to assume and gradually they are understanding that there are some provisions in the covenant which must inevitably provoke war.” Senator Cummins contended that when the war was ended “our exit should have been as speedy and complete as possible.”
