SENATE URGED

AGAINST HASTY LEAGUE ACTION

Knox Declares Acceptance Will Mean Departure From American Traditions. r, Bjr AasoclaUd PrM) WASHINGTON", June 18. A plea against hasty acceptance of the League of Nations was made to the senate late Tuesday by Senator Philander C. Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, in a carefully prepared address analyzing features of the league covenant and cautioning that its ratification would mean a far departure f from American traditions.: . The league, declared the former a secretary of state, inevitably would reisult in a super-government empowered to act even upon the domestic atJ fairs of member nations and to pre-

I serve for all time the territorial boun

daries shortly to be determined by the peace treaty. He asserted the new Monroe docj trine provision would efface that pollicy from international affairs, and argued that the amendment adopted

to cover withdrawal of league mem

bers would make such withdrawal absolutely impossible.' 8peech Followed Closely. The speech, which held closer atten

tion in the senate chamber than any

previous utterance of the treaty con

troversy, marked the beginning of de

bate on Mr. Knox's resolution declar

ilng the terms of peace should be ratified without delay and the League of Rations proposal left for later consid

eration. ,

"I ask for time," said the senator in

explaining his measure, "merely to

consider whether, under the covenant as drawn, the power to put us at war

still will rest with us or be placed in a body outside our own government, and if placed outside, whether such lodging of the sovereign power is desirable. ! "I ask only for time to deliberate whether we shall put it beyond our power to increase the size of our army and our navy In times of dire emergency without first consulting the wish or desires of other countries."

CORPORATION VALUES TWO MILLION MORE

With only two county corporations left unassessed, the work of valuation of them in Wayne county by the board of review nears completion. The remainder of the board's session will be taken up with adjustment of property valuations throughout the county. An Increase of more than two anillion dollars in the assessed valuation of corporations is shown by the valuation sheets for this year. In 1918, the total assessed valuation of corporations in the county amounted to $2,648,160. This year the corporations assessed amount to $5,087,945, with two more corporations to be acted upon by the board. In 1918, these corporations were assessed at $26,660 and it is probable that this figure will be Increased under the new ruling effeo tive this year. Officials said Wednesday morning that the total valuation of the taxable property in the county would probably reach $100,000,000 this year. Last year the total value of taxable property assessed at about $40,000,000. The great increase in the value of taxable property should lower the tax rate in the City of Richmond to approximately one-half last year's rate.

PRINCE OF WALES TO BE AMERICAN VISITOR IN AUGUST

WASHINQTON, June 18.- The Prince of Wales will be the first of the distinguished foreign guests who will return in Washington the visits of the

president and Mrs. Wilson to European capitals. Informal advices have been communicated to the state department by the British embassy that the prince will arrive about Aug. 12, following his official visit to Canada, and will spend at least four days In Washington, two - days in New York, and a week in the Middle West. No definite program has been prepared, but it is known that Chicago, St. Louis, Akron, O., and Memphis, Tenn., are among the cities the prince desires to visit. He is keenly interested in the irrigation of arid lands and hopes to see the American system in operation, but this will be impossible unless his visit can be extended beyond Aug. 25, the date tentatively set for his departure. Until the return of the President and Mrs. Wilson no definite plans for the entertainment of the prince can be made, but it is known that they will include a state dinner at the white house grounds, a reception and dance at the Pan-American TJnion, a trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon on the Mayffower, the President's yacht, a special cavalry drill at Fort

Myer, and probably a visit to the naval academy at Annapolis. The prince will also be the guest of honor at official dinners every night during his stay in Washington.

APPLE CROP MAY

BE ALMOST NORMAL

Wayne county fruit prospects are

considerably more hopeful than they

appeared for a time after the blight

ing frost of last spring, according to

fruit-growers and agriculturists who

have surveyed the county in the last week.

Apples, while early varieties were

killed by the frost, will, at least in

some parts of the county, show a larger yield than usual, and the en

tire county's crop is expected to be near an average.

Plums and pears, while they sur

vived the frost, are falling badly. The

pears are falling now, while many

plums fell during the cold weather of May and the eany part of June. Cherries, which are just getting ripe, look as if they will yield half or twothirds the usual crop. Grapes may be

scarce, as, besides the heavy l frosts of this spring, the vines have not yet gotten over the terrible cold of the winter of 1917-1918.

Blackberries, both wild and tame, and raspberries, which will soon ripen for the local markets, are expected to show an unusually large yield.

Deputies Vote Support In Tumultous Session

CBy Associated Press PARIS, -mesaay, June 17. Confidence in the government was voted in the chamber of deputies today, 349 to 137, following a tumultuous session during which the mutiny of the sailors of the Black sea fleet was discussed. Closing the debate for the government, M. Pichon, foreign minister, declared the trouble was due entirely to Bolshevlki propaganda and said the chamber "must decide between the democratic inter-allied policy and the policy of the socialists, who want France to abdicate before the Bolsheviki." The minister provoked a violent outburst from the socialists by declaring that, in his opinion, Bolshevism was lost. Jules Delahye, a royalist deputy, created a violent scene by declaring that foreign money was being used for propaganda work in France, and that the socialist party had assumed the task of circulating It in the navy, notably at Odessa and Sebas topol. The socialists demanded that the government make a declaration on the subject, but M. Pichon said he had no knowledge of it.

(Br Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 18 The historic first letter sent across the Atlantic by airplane from the savings division of the treasury to the British national war savings committee was answered today. Sir Robert Kindersley wrote Director Harold Braddock congratulating him on the results obtained here in the thrift campaign started by the war and now being continued as a part of the peace time financing of the government. "I very much hope," Sir Robert's letter says, "that the universal educational campaign in connection with savings which your organization has carried on throughout the United States may be lasting in its effect on the character of the American people. "In this country we have sold 325,000,000 pounds sterling in war saving certificates, distributed among some fifteen million people, and the sale of these certificates continues at the rate of about two million pounds per week, while we have every reason to believe that the habit of having has been permanently adopted by millions of our fellow countrymen."

If so, we cannot afford not to adopt their method.
