BORAH APPROVES ROOT PLAN FOR WORLD LEAGUE

Opponent of Present Covenant Expresses Himself as in Accord With Root. WASHINGTON, April 1. Amendments 'to the league of nations, constitution proposed by Elihu Root were the subject of considerable comment among senators today. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, chief antagonist of the league among the Republicans, expressed himself as being entirely la accord with Mr. Root's position. He welcomed Mr. Root to the side of those who insist upon formal recognition of the Monroe doctrine. In direct opposition to Senator Borrah, was a statement Issued by Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who will lead the fight for the ratification of the league covenant as the representative and spokesman of the president Senator Hitchcock takes the position that acceptance of the amendment proposed by Mr. Root would be prejudicial to ratification. Monroe Plan Favored. He announced that he would be glad to see an amendment which would preserve the Monroe doctrine, but insisted that the question should be separated from the question of immigration, to which it was joined In Mr. Root's proposal. Most of the other amendments, in Senator Hitchcock's opinion, would make it practically Impossible to obtain ratification of the covenant by the senate. Speaking of Mr. Root's first amendment, which would establish an international tribunal for the trial of disputes between nations, even those including "national honor" and "vital Interests," Senator Hitchcock said: "In my opinion, if this amendment were incorporated in the league constitution, It would add to the difficulties of obtaining ratification." WILSON THREATENS TO PUBLISH CAUSE OF PEACE DELAYS PARIS, April 1. Even President Wilson's threat to publish to the world the causes of delays In the peace conference and to point out the persons responsible has not wiped away all the obstacles to an early agreement. The president is understood to have warned the conferees in a speech that the nations were expecting facts, action and results. His remarks followed a statement by Premier Clemenceau of the French territorial claims. The council of four then went to work, making more progress than during several previous sessions. Apprehension Still Felt Sufficient results, however, have not been achieved to prevent a feeling of apprehension among the Americans here. It Is 'said that although the peace leaders are confronted by formidable obstacles a complete deadlock does not exist. The principal difficulty has been found in settling on reparation according to the new method of payment suggested by the French delegation Thin nlnn. presented Saturday before the council of four, contained twenty typewritten pages. The meth od of payment was considered at the morning session yesterday with financial advisors of the big four. Marshal Foch explained the French position regarding the left bank of the Rhine. Later the foreign ministers of the five great powers were called in .o discuss the situation resulting from the Hungarian revolution. Reports to the French foreign office indicate that the Hungarian revolution was staged largely with the purpose of testing the strength of the will of the entente powers and was designed to frighten them with the idea that. Germany might also rapidly disintegrate. Procedure Is Discussed. Procedure of the meeting at Versailles between the German peace delegates and the allied commissioners was discussed today by the council of five, composed of the foreign ministers of the five great powers. Among the questions considered was the length of the session and whether permission should be giver, the Germans to discuss the terms or whether a signature should be demanded at once. The first meeting between the financial commission of the peace conference and the German financial agents will take place Thursday at Compiegne, where an indefinite session will be held to arrange the exchange of German securities for foodstuffs. After the first session it is probable that no members of the allied financial commission will remain in Complegne, as the business to be transacted will be of such a nature that trained bankers can conduct it without assistance from the executive members of the commission. In addition to Compiegne. committees are also working at Cologne for the disposition of raw material, at Rotterdam on arrangements concerning shipments of food, and at Spa concerning the details of taking over German shipping. The committee at Rotterdam is the one that looked after Belgian relief work before the armistice was signed. BEEDE ATTENDS CONFERENCES. B. Willis Beede has gone to BloomIngton and several other towns in Western Yearly Meeting to attend a series of Foreign Mission Board conferences.

Rule (By Associated Press) TUTUILA, American Samoa, Mar. 31 British Samoan chiefs withdrew today their petition requesting transfer to American rule. They expressed dissatisfaction only with conditions under Colonel Logan, former British administrator. Col. Tate, his successor, conciliated them and gained their confidence.

They were represented as favoring a transfer of the islands of ' Upolu and Savaii to American Jurisdiction.

EVEN SOUTH AFRICA HAS ITS "DRY" ZONE (By Associated Press') LONDON, April 1. While an important section of the London press never misses an opportunity to poke fun at the United States for adopting the prohibition amendment, the newspapers today were called upon to chronicle the interesting fact that within the empire there is a native king who not only endorses the prohibitory principle but insists that his people Bhall agree with him. King Khama, ruler of Bechuanaland, South Africa, was informed that a government commission had recommended the sale of light wines and beer to the natives. He immediately declared that if the plan was carried out he would forbid his subjects from working in the gold mines. The industrial situation, already rendered almost Intolerable by the loss of thousands of native workers through the ravages of influenza, would thus become alarming, for those who know King Khama realize that he would not hesitate to carry out his threat. The temperance party, led by the king, is strong in South Africa, where the king is known as a strong temperance monarch. Also they know him In England, where he has often appeared on temperance platforms. The decision of the commission to allow the blacks to buy intoxicants was due to the fact that while men employed in the mines would buy intoxicants and the prohibition against the blacks had given rise to a large illicit trade in drink. SPEAKER IS DELAYED H. E. Coleman of Tokio, Japan, who has for the last three years been field secretary of the World's Sunday School association, was expected to arrive in the city this afternoon to spetiJc before students of Earlham college tonight.

MANY YANKEES DIE FROM FLU WHILE ABROAD

Half of " American Deaths in England Are Shown Result of Epidemic. (By Associated Press) LONDON, April 1. More than half the deaths among the American soldiers in Great Britain were due to influenza. The total number of cases of the disease in the last three months of the epidemic among the Americans here reached 7,512. In that period, deaths from pneumonia, developing in most capes from influenza, numbered 1,171. Of 6,000 troops brought on one trip by the steamer Olympic, 2,000 contracted the disease, and as about one-third of these cases developed pneumonia, the proportion of fatalities was very large. These figures are contained in an elaborate report being prepared by the American Red Cross covering the work of the organization in Great Britain up to the beginning of this year. When the Olympic docked at Southampton, there were about 400 influenza cases on board. But after the troops could be debarked the number of cases had increased fivefold. The weather was at its worst cold, wet and muddy. Friends Most Active in Indiana Dry Campaigns Although Friends are responsible for only a portion of prohibition work throughout the country as nearly all churches have joined in the crusade, a recent statement made by E. S. Shumacker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League shows that a large amount of legislation against saloons in the state of Indiana has been "done by Friends. In explaining the Indiana situation today, Timothy Nicholson remarked that Schumacker had said nearly all the temperance laws of this state were championed by the Quakers. The Baxter law by Senator William Baxter; the Nicholson Remonstrance law by Representative S. Edgar Nicholson; the county option law by Senator Linton Cox, and the prohibition law by Representative Frank E. Wright were all introduced by Friends.
