HARVEY ATTACKS LEAGUE PLAN AS DANGER TO U. S.

Proposed Covenant Originatecr in England, Declares Editor in Address. INDIANAPOLIS. March IS Colonel George Harrey, editor of the North American Review, and of Hanvey's Weekly, addressed a notable gatherIns of Hoosler Republicans at the Columbia club last niebt, taking "Washington or Wilson" as his subject. His address, which was received with Intense enthusiasm, may be regarded in many quarters as the opening of the campaign in Indiana against the proposed league of nations, as advanced by President Wilson.' He devoted himself almost wholly to a discussion of the proposed league of nations. He analyzed keenly the covenant President Wilson brought with him from Paris on his recent return from the peace conference. Col. Harvey manifested deep and vigorous opposition to the entire proposal which he asserted Is the most unAmerican proposition ever submitted to the American people by an American president Furthermore, he charged boldly and emphatically that the plan for. the league was born in England. He also asserted that the famous "fourteen points" enunciated by the president as a basis for peace with Germany, originated with the British, except the one referring to the freedom of the seas, which he charged sprung from Germany. Charge Foreign Propaganda. He Insisted that there is an AngloAmerican and a German-American propaganda in this country at this time in favor of the adoption of the proposed league of nations. He claimed that interests holding vast amounts of foreign securities are advocating the formation of the league in the hope of having it force the United Slates to provide ultimate pay!T?ant for their holdings. He was scathing In his rebuke of the entire league of nations plan. He dealt almost as vigorously with former President William Howard Taft as he did with President Wilson. If Mr. Taft runs for the presidency, he said, there will be doubt whether he seeks the office as a Democrat or a Republican. He made the prediction that Mr. Taft's name will not appear on the Republican ticket. Col. Harvey held that if America joined the league she would give up her sovereignty and independence. He said that if he were a Frenchman, an Englishman or an Italian, he would favor the proposed league. Taft Is Criticized. "I do not need to tell you what that covenant Is," he said. "It has been Aualyzed thoroughly. There is not a man in this hall who, after reading it, can fall to realize that, no matter what explanation or interpretation or socalled understanding may bo set forth by Mr. Wileon, by Mr. Taft, or by anybody elos, it does transfer the sovereignty of this nation to outsiders; that it does deprive this nation of its independence, that it does violate the most sacred traditions of the republic; that it does scrap the Monroe Doctrine; that it does place absolute control of our country, at least so far as international, relations are concerned, in tho most autocratic body ever conceived, in which the United States would have Just one vote out of nine! Even worse if possible than that, through the Inclusion of representatives of her colonies, Greit Britain would dominate the other' eight and become the actual controller of the government of the world. Col. Harvey was sharp In his criticism of Mr. Taft. "Perhaps you have read all that Mr. Taft1 has said and written upon this subject," he- declared. "Frankly, I have not. I have to allow time for three meals a day and eight hours of sleep and these necessities have barred me from a complete absorption of all that has appeared from his tongue and pen. I have grasped enough, however, to realize that in the art of twisting and turning and backing and filling, he has become a past grand master." - Will Welcome Appeal. Col. Harvey said he would welcome th day President Wilson nppeals to the people for support of the league. Concluding. Col. Harvey said: "This flag here over my head was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, 142 years ago. The first one was the product of the nimble fingers of that sturdy little patriot, Betsy Robs. Its first public appearance was over Dorchester Heights, and when it was raised George Washington stood uncovered at the foot of the pole. It has waved ever since in its spotless beauty and untarnished glory It has symbolized during all these years but one emotion: 'My country, my whole country and nothing' but my country.' Shall it be lowered now lowered so much as the fraction of an inch? "Under which flag, gentlemen? Under which flag? Are not you, too, Americans?" CATTLE BRING RECORD PRICES. LONDON. March .18. High prices for blooded bulls, particularly those for export, according to reports, ruled at the sale of Shorthorn cattle in Peth recently. The top price was $20,000 paid for the champion owned by Lady Cathcart Other bulls brought from $15,000 to $7,500, the demand being greater than the supply.

Tho plan provides for the appointment of one team worker for each five Methodist families in the cities and towns and two team workers for each five families in the rural districts. A special program for Easter Sunday is ' being formed and ail the churches in the conference are asked to follow it. The day's services will begin at 6 a. m. with a sunrise prayer meeting In charge of a layman. The centenary movement will be emphasized at the Sunday school and the morning church services and at 1 o'clock the team captains will send their workers out to begin the canvass. Sufficient workers will be appointed so that each family in each congregation can be visited within the three-hour period set for the drive. At 4 o'clock the local church chairmen will report to the district chairmen relative to the results of the drive. These reports will be filed In the office of the conference chairman in this city, where they will be tabulated. It is expected that within an hour or so after the drive is concluded announcement will be made that the conference goal has been reached. Leading Methodists, with whom the plan has been discussed, are confident that the $3,000,000 goal can be exceeded within the time set.

Strike Threatened in Cuba Against Exorbitant Rents (By Associated Press) HAVANA, March 18. This city is threatened with one of the most uni

que strikes ever called. Unlike the usual strike, the movement will not be for shorter hours or higher wages. Thousands of persons in every walk of life, who are occupants of rented houses and rooms, may "strike" against their being literally "locked out" or their homes by property own ers who are charging exorbitant and illegal rents. Rent in Havana during the last two years has Increased about 50 percent, and in some cases Is reported to have more than doubled, especially in the poorer quarters. According to the law a property owner must file with the city authorities a sworn statement of the cost of construction of any building owned or erected by him, from which figures not only the taxes to be collected, but the rent which may legally be charged, are fixed. Th property owners hav ing greatly Increased rents, but without correspondingly augmented their tax payments, the renting public is loudly protesting and there is being formed an organisation which has for it3 object the calling of a strike by renters to force the reduction of rates to something like normal. . If the strike is really called those taking part will not actually refuse to pay rent whatsoever, but will decline to pay more than the municipal records call for. Though not the longest stream, the Amazon discharges more water than any other river In the. world. BACK LIKE A BOARD? IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS There's no use suffering from the wful agony of lame back.
