ARTICLE 10 NOT AN INSTRUMENT FOR WAR—SPAAN Shows Assertion That League Council Has Declaratory Power Is Untrue. JUST WHAT IT MEANS Henry N. Spann, Democratic candidate for Representative in Congress from the Seventh district, who la regarded as a local authority on the League of Nations, In a statement just issued, declares that article 10 has been consistentntly misrepresented by the Republican leaders. Be takes issue with those who assirt that it Is an article for war and proves his contention in an unmistakable manner. He said: "Article 10 of the covenant of peace has been persistently misrepresented by those who oppose the league. It reads as follows: “ “The members of the league undertake to respect and preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political Independence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or danger of snch aggression the council shall advise npon the means hr which this obligation shall be fulfilled.” "It is claimed by the enemies of the League that this article gives the council f the league the power to declare war and to compel ns to mix up in every petty boundary dispute and racial disturbance in Europe. This is not true. “A careful reading of the article will disclose at once that the council has BO power whatever to declare war; it has the power only of advising what | shall be done in case our nation invades the territory of another. The wording is absolutely plain. CERTAIN' ELEMENTS ONLY AGAINST IT. "It all along has been conceded by snch man as Taft, Wlckersbam, Root, Elliott, Hughes and Lenroot that this article does not take away from Congress the sole right to declare war. It Is only snch men as Johnson. Borah,

IT’S CHORUS GIRL SHORTAGE!

NEW YORK, Sapt. 24.—The United States la facing one of the most serious famines in its history. Crops are fine, transportation la good, production is no.aial, but one of our greatest national Institutions Is threatened—the chorus girl. Flo Zlegfeld, the great maestro, today wore a wtat-to-do air as he reflected 6n the hardships of life of picking good lookers, and told all about it. The trouble centers about one thing, according to Ziegfield, It seems the one thing demanded of a ehorue girl nowadays is neither face, figure nor voice, but •‘personality.’’ “We can’t figure ont whether American girls are losing thslr personality, their ambition to succeed on the stage; are making more money at other pursuits, or Just what is the matter," Ziegfeld said. “If we knew we might flnd some way to overcome the present shortage. “Many of the present-day stars came up from the chorus as a result of per-

Watson, New and Lodge, bitter enemies of the league who still persist that a combination of European nations have the right under this article to send our boys overseas to fight whenever it suits tbolr purpose. This is a part of the infamous propaganda started by the senatorial cabal and followed by every parroting political orator educated in the recent “school for speakers" instituted by the Republican State committee. “The Supreme Coart of the United States in the case of Thomas Gay (3 69 U. S. 271) held that ’a treaty which is violative of onr Constitution is void.’ This is the universal rule and no lawyer who cares for his reputation will state otherwise. “Under article 10 we can not be forced into any war without our own full consent, because the finding of the council on the question whether war shall be advised by it, must be unani mous and as we will be under the terms of the covenant a permanent member of the council our representative on the council must consent to this advice before it can become a part of the finding of the council. “Our representative on the council will vote as he Is directed to Tote and if he

sonality and years of hard work. “But, despite greatly increased salaries and opportunities, girls—at least the type We want—don’t seem to be attracted to the chorus now. / “A few years ago $35 a week was the maximum salary for a chorus girL “Now we pay as high as $125 and $l5O and still we can’t attract any considerable number of embryonic stars. “In the past the qualification for a chorus girl was a pretty face, a beautiful figure shapely limbs or a sweet voice, or a combination of all of them. "Now we don’t care particularly whether a girl can dance or sing; we can teach her to do that—or whether she ie particularly beautiful —Just so she has personality, magnetism, vivacity—the ability to put herself across. "It is Just that thing that most of onr present applicants lack. “He Interviewed between 250 and 800 girls yesterday. “Os these not more than a doeen were told to come back and not more than half of these will win places.”

votes against the advice for war there will be no such advice. “It is said that if the council decides to advise war, that we cannot get away from that advice, sad that w# will be morally bound to go to war. But as there can be no advice by the council to go to war without our consent, there will be no moral obligation whatever unless we fully agree to follow the advice, and in that case. Congress will nave to be consulted. “The truth of the matter Is that this senatorial cßhel propaganda is insisted on to impose upon the Ignorant. It fools nohody who has read the covenant except those who want to be fooled. “The Republican party in its platform, and Senator Harding in his letter of acceptance, denounced the league; Senator Watson and Senator New both are against it; CoolMge, who was oneo for it, is now against It; and all this because of party necessity; why should th women of the land and the Independent voter take the word of the enemies of the covenant foV what it means ?’’
