CUO LEAGUE EAUS DISCARD OF TRADITIONS Is Most Radical Proposal Ever ' Put to America, Declares Borah. : WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Whether the United States is to discard all the policies of Washington and Monroe

and surrender control of Its destinies to the powers of Europe Is the . Bole question Involved in - the League of Nations program, Senator William E, Borrah told the senate in a powerful speech against the League of Nations plan. - Declaring that the proposal Is, the most radical departure ever suggested to the American nation, Senator Borah demanded that a referendum vote of the people of the United States be taken before any steps toward making the plan effective be adopted. Says Taft la Misleading. The Idaho senator showed by statements Issued by Lloyd George and by European statesmen that the Monroe Doctrine would be destroyed absolutely by the League of Nations program. He questioned whether the American people were willing to embark upon such a policy. . He declared that the proposition meant "the tearing down of the wall of isolation built up by the policies of Washington and Monroe, and entering upon a policy of internationalism." . Senator Borah also paid bis respects to former President Taft, who is the chief spokesman for the league next to President Wilson himself. He characterized many of President Taft's statements as "misleading," and said he was not treating the American people fairly in thelling them that the Monroe Doctrine would not be rendered innocuous by the league program. PRINTERS OPPOSE TEXT-BOOK BILL A protest was received Saturday from Marsden G. Scott, of Indiananoils, president of the International Typographical Union, against the pro posed bill providing for the printing of state text-books by inmates of state penal institutions. . Scott protests against the bill as unfair to organized labor and especially to nrinters. and . denounces it as against the idealistic spirit with which America has hailed the period alter "If the bill introduced by Senator Alldredge is a fair sample of the sort of after-the-war legislation the wage earners are to expect," he says, "then the ideals for which we have made

' . t uutn great bkitiuveb jijxto vxtom m"1-" li'- ' !y shattered and cynical judgment has "2 " been vindicated once more." 1 He recounts the sacrifices made by 3 the Printers' Union in the war, in-

eluding the loss of over 200 members by battle or disease while in the service, and adds: "Today we are confronted with a bill which seeks to take work from members of this organization and hand it over to convicts and degenerates In the state reformatory and other penal Institutions." Somebody Steals $10 From Monkey Fund But HoUarn Promises Pets "As soon as the war department raise the ban on the shipment of animals into the United States we will secure several monkeys for the Glen Miller Park," Ed Hollern, park superintendent said today. . Some "mean"' man walked into Feltman's cigar store a few days ago and picked up the bank placed there for the monkey fund and a J5 pipe. Therefore the monkey fund is short about $10. All the zoos and parks In the United . States are short on animals of all kinds and it will be very hard to get the monkeys, Hollern said. Many of the parks have written to him and that if he did not need all the monkeys he received that they would take them off his hands. J. B. Wharton Is Dead at Home in Pennsylvania Word has been received in Richmond of the death of J..B. Wharton at Greensburg. Pa. Mr. Wharton was former manager of the Richmond ' Light, Heat and Power company. He came to Richmond June 1, 1910 and remained here for three years. His health became very poor and moved back to Wilkesbarre, Pa., where he had formerly lived. He was buried Saturday in Mt. Union, Pa. While In Richmond he was a prominent Mason, and was a member of the Webb lodge. He is survived by his wife and three children. . March Weather Is on the Way, Says Weather Man Blustery, windy, March weather is forecast for this vicinity within the next twenty-four hours. Weatherman Moore says the wind will be high, because the storm is traveling rapidly. A wind storm predicted several weeks ago was not noticeable owing to the fact that the storm traveled so slowly, Moore explained. The wind will be accompanied by rain, and probably snow squalls, according to the weatherman. LAND QUESTION IS PUSHED WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Secretary

Lane, beiore the nouse rules committee today, appealed for immediate action on legislation providing a hundred million dollar fund for reclamation of land throughout the country for settlement by men discharged fromthe military service. , , - Time Is a file that wears but makes PO noise.

Mr. Hutchens himself will be in Richmond during that time. At present he Is exhibiting In the Hotel Deshler, Columbus, Ohio.

FRIENDS RAISING $500,000 FOR VERDUN RECONSTRUCTION WORK

The American Friends Service committee, to which the French gbvernment, at the request of the Quakers, has assigned the work of reconstructing forty villages west of Verdun, Is raising $500,000 for the purpose, according to a statement issued today by the commission. The populations that will be afforded relief in the. form of the construc tion of houses, their equipment of furniture and household utensils, assistance In re-building and obtaining farm Implements, Include the entire cantons of Clermont-en-Argonne and Varennes In addition to those of the communes of the canton of Charny, Sevry-Ia-Perche, Bethelainville, Bethincourt, Charny, Cattancourt, Cumieres, Formereville, Marre, Montzeville and Thierville. The names of most of these communes are known to the entire world. Hill 304 and Le Morthomme, in this district, witnessed in 1916. the most gigantic battles of the war and served as ramparts to check the foe. The Sub-perfect of Verdun, Roimarmier, in a statement issued at Isoncourt, not only praises the reconstruction plan outlined by the Quakers but enjoins upon the whole population to assist the American workers, a number of whom are from Indiana. "It is a unique opportunity," he says, ."to express to the Society of Friends his personal gratitude, as well as that of the inhabitants, which will benefit by the reconstruction undertaken by the Society of Friends. The ambition of the Society of Friends and our own shall be that the reconstructed communes may become models and examples of the communes of the surrounding country." Refugees in this district will need almost everything. The people are almost all farmers. They will need houses, furniture, agricultural machinery, garden seeds and tools. It is estimated by the Friends that to provide one family with the minimum of furniture, linen and garden seeds will cost about $300.' About $300,000 will be required for this purpose alone in this district. In addition about $200,000 will be needed for medical work, the supply of garden and field seeds and other farm equipment. As about 3,000 families will desire to return to about

"Entrance to the Forest.' A number of paintings which Mr. Hutcbens will bring here have been exhibited among the war paintings at. the National Academy. j Columbus papers have been very enthusiastic about the exhibit there now. The same pictures will be brought here.

The usual lecture given by Mrs. Johnson on Wednesday, February 26, will be postponed and the "gallery will be open at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Hutchens will arrive in Richmond on Tuesday and will be at the Westcott hotel. thirty destroyed villages, the Friends estimate that 100 houses will have to be constructed at once. About 150 huts are ready. The workshops of the Reconstruction Committee in the southeastern portion of France, are able to turn out about ten huts a week, and an extension of their capacity is sought at once. In order to carry on the work systematically, the families will be brought back gradually to the restored homes which the Quakers have built. Two large buildings on the outskirts of the districts have been arranged to facilitate the movement of the refugees to their homes. The Friends have accepted the love of the French peasant for his home village and are seeking to bring back all the refugees to their homes they occupied before the Hun invasion. A survey of the territory has convinced the Quoker leaders that the task will bo a herculean one, as the destruction in some places resembles that done by an earthquake. It is often impossible to say where a farmer village began or ended. It may be impossible, says the statement, to do any agricultural work in some parts. Millions of huge shells fired to destroy trenches have left huge craters. Fields are torn by abandoned trench systems. Stones cover hundreds of acres, unexploded shells lie a few feet under the surface ready to go off at the slightest touch of the plow, mines and countermines have turned the subsoil over. The greatest part of the district has been uninhabited since 1916, and a considerable portion since August 1914. Since then the country has seen almost continuous fighting. Cumieres consists of two low walls and the materials of the old Tillage "are literally ground to fine dust. The hill of Vauquois is now several, feet lower than it was before the war. The village on its crest has disappeared. Cheppy and Charpentry are in little better plight. The Quakers have undertaken to restore this territory. They are entering a deserted and uninhabited district. The peasants who return will have to do the work of colonists and pioneers. Here the quakers hope to build a community life that will' be better than the old one. The French government has turned the territory over to them. some time want a Y. W. C. A. hotel. Perhaps the greatest problem is the women immigrants at Angel Island and Salt Lake City. The Carry On movement in the Y. W. C. A. is now In full force throughout the country. The need of more money to carry on the regular work, other than that carried on by the Association during the period of the war, is imperative. The money that was raised in the United War Fund campaign for the Y. W. C. A. cannot be touched for anything but war work and money must be obtained to carry on the regular work. The expenditure of the fifteen millions secured by the United War Work campaign is directed by the National War Work council, working under a committee of 11 In charge of the entire fund. This fund was raised to make possible serving in the present war emergencies, soldiers and sailors and certain other classes of men and women affected by war conditions, and this purpose is to be the" governing clause in its use. JUVENILE COURT CASES Four truancy cases were heard in juvenile court, Saturday. . One boy, a confirmed truant, was sent to the reform school.

The work of the schools has been organized into the form of an army by E. A. Murphy, garden supervisor in Richmond, and the work will start in earnest in a few days. - Each pupil in the schools that wants to do so signs a pledge to do all in his or her power to help increase the food supply of the country this year. In each room in the grade schools, in- Garfield and in High school, captains are elected and first and second lieutenants. They have charge of the work in the rooms. At High school Elbert Vickrey is in charge of the entire school. Several mail bags, bull of seeds of all kinds, arrived in the superintendent's office last week and will be distributed as soon as possible. Last -year in the High school only 28 per cent of the students took up the garden work and an attempt will be made to raise the percentage this summer. In the grades last year reports show that 100 per cent of the pupils had gardens. This average will probably be kept up this year. .

GERMAN DELEGATE TO PEACE MEETING

- Karl Kautsky. Karl Kautsky has been named as one of German delegates to the Versailles peace conference. He is a minority Socialist. CLEMENCEAU IS FORBIDDEN TO RECEIVE GUESTS , (By Associated Press PARIS, Feb. 22. "Premier Clemenceau is somewhat fatigued and will receive no one today," said Dr. Cautra of the medical staff attending Premier Clemenceau after the examination of the premier shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. "He Is absolutely forbidden to talk," Dr. Cautra added. "His temperature is 37.1 (centigrade) and his pulse is normal, 72." The doctor's statement was understood to be a synopsis of the official bulletin which at this hour, 9:30 o'clock, had not yet been issued. Alexandre Millerand, former minister of war, was one of Premier Clemenceau's earliest visitors today. "The premier," said M. Millerand, after his visit, "is rather more tired today. You know he was a naughty boy yesterday and over-exerted himself. However, his condition is generally satisfactory." The police continue work on the case of Emile Cottin, the assassin of Premier Clemenceau, but so far, have discovered nothing throwing new light on his activities. They are endeavoring to trace a young man who called to see him at his lodging house Tuesday night and who was there once or twice before during the last few weeks. His visits attracted the attention of the landlord, as Cottin never before had any visitors. The landlord has been able to give a description of him which is thought to correspond with that of a friend of Cottin's, known as "Michael," who is alleged to have anarchistic leanings. So far, the police have not discovered the man's whereabouts, nor have they found where Cottin obtained the trench pistol he used when he fired upon the premier. The Matin says that the search of homes of anarchists and subsequent arrests have no connection whatever with the Cottin case. It says that these measures had been decided upon for some time, the charge against those under arrest being the dissemination of Bolshevik propaganda. Pupils of Hibberd school are showing a- decided interest in the plans for school garden work. Last week copies of the school garden manual, issued by the bureau of education were distributed among the pupils of the grade schools by Garden Supervisor Murphy. ' At Hibberd school the teachers read to the pupils the letters from President Wilson, Secretary Lane, and Commissioner Claxton, as well as other material whic happeared In the manual. All of the pupils of Hibberd school wrote to Representative Elliott for garden seeds and received the seeds and a personal letter as well from the congressman."
