ocal GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO. Aug. 19. There is less disposition to press the short side of corn. The trade la more familiar with food and labor row. A number of locals believe $1.50 a fair level for December corn under new conditions. Corn belt news suggests 2,500 million crop. Hogs weak, 60 cents to $1.00 lower. Foreign exchange at lowest ebb. Grain news as a whole breaks about even. There is enough uneasy labor and foreign news to Question large bullish ideas. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W.

INTERPRETING (Continued from Page One) training is to be until we have peace not only, but until we know how peace is to be sustained, whether by the arms of 6ingle nations or by the concert of all the great peoples. And there is more than that difficulty involved. The vast surplus properties of the army include not food and clothing merely, whose sale will affect normal production, but great manufacturing establishments also which should be restored to their former uses, great stores of machine tools, and all sorts of merchandise which must lie idle until peace and military policy are defi nitely determined. By the same token there can be no properly studied national budget until then. Other Nations Busy. The nations that ratify the treaty, such as Great Britain. Belgium and France, will be in a position to lay their plans for controlling the markets of central Europe without co-opera tion from us, if we do not presently act. We have no consular agents, no trade representatives there to look after our interests. There are large areas of Europe whose future will lie uncertain and questionable until their people know the final settlements of peace and the forces which are to administer and sustain it. Without determinate markets our production cannot proceed with intelli gence or confidence. There can be no stabilization of wages because there can be no settled conditions of em ployment. There can be no easy or normal industrial credits, because there'ean be no confident or permanent rlvival of business. But I will not weaj-y you with obvious examples. I will only venture to repeat that every element of normal life amongst us depends upon and awaits the ratification of the treaty of peace: and also that we cannot afford to lose a single summer's day by not doing all that we can to mitigate the winter's suffering, which, unless we find means to prevent it, may prove disastrous to a large portion of the world, and may, at its worst, bring "upon Europe conditions even more terrible than those wrought by the war itself. Article X is in no respect of doubtful meaning when read in the light of the covenant as a whole. The council of the league can only "advise on" the means by which the obligations of that great article are to be given effect to. Unless the United States is a party to the policy or action in question, her own affirmative vote in the council is necessary before any advice can be given, for a unanimous vote of the council is required. If she is a party, the trouble is hers anyhow, and the unanimous vote of the council is only advice in any case. Each government is free to reject it if it pleases.. Nothing could have been more clear to the conference than the right of our congress under our con stitution to exercise its independent judgment in all matters of peace and war. No attempt was made to question the limit of that right. The United States will, indeed, undertake Article 10 to "respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league," and that engagement constitutes a Very grave and solemn moral obligation. But it is a moral , not a legal oblogation, and leaves our congress absolutely free to put its own interpretation upon it in all cases that call for action. It is binding in conscience only, not in law. Backbone of Covenant. Article X seems to me to constitute the very backbone of the whole covenant. Without it the league wo-Ud be hardly more than an influential debating society. It has several times been suggested, in public debate and In private conference, that interpretations of the sense in which the United States accepts the engagements of the covenant should be embodied in the instrument of ratification. There can be no reasonable objection to such Interpretations accompanying the act of ratification provided they do not form a part of the formal ratification itself. Most of the interpretations which have been suggested to me embody what seems to me the plain meaning of the instrument itself. But if such interpretations should constitute a part of the formal resolution of ratification long delays would be the inevitable consequence, inasmuch as all the many governments concerned would have to accept, in effect, the language of the senate a3 the language of the treaty before ratification would be complete. The assent of the German assembly at Weimar would have to be obtained, among the rest, and I must frankly say that I could only with the greatest reluctance approach that assembly for permission to read the treaty as we understand it and as those who framed it quite certainly understood it. Others Would Follow If the United States were to qualify the document in any way, moreover, I am confident from what I know of

the many conferences and debates which accompanied the formulation of the treaty that our example would immediately be followed in many quarters, In some instances with very serious reservations, and that the meaning and operative force of the treaty .would presently be clouded from one end of its clauses to the other. Pardon me, Mr. Chairman, if I have been entirely unreserved and plainspoken in speaking of the great matters we all have so much at heart. If exxcuse is needed, I trust that the

critical situation of affairs may serve as my justification. The Issues that manifestly hang upon the conclusions of the senate with regard to peace and on the time of its action are so great and so clearly insuscentible of being thrust on one side or postponed that I have felt it necessary in the public interest to make this urgent plea, and to make it as simple and as unreservedly as possible. Lodge Queries Wilson. After the President had delivered his statement, Senator Lodge said: "Mr. President, bo far as I am personally concerned and I think I represent perhaps the majority of the committee in that respect we have no thought of entering upon arguments as to Interpretations or points of that character; but the committee was very desirous of getting information . , ciear hJlh hey, thu8ht information would be of value to have in con sideratlon of the treaty which they, I tmnK 1 may say for myself and others. desire to hasten it every possible way. Y.our reference to the necessity of action leads me to ask one question. If we have to .restore peace to the world it is unnecessary I assume that there should be treaties with Austria, Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. Those treaties are all more or less connected with the treaty with Germany. The question I should like to ask is what the prospects are of receiving those treaties for action. The president: I think it is very good, sir, and so far as I can judge from the contents of the dispatches from my colleagues on the other side of the water, the chief delay is due to the uncertainty as to what is going to happen to this treaty. This treaty is a model of the others. I saw enough Of the others before I left Paris to know that they are be ing framed upon the same set of principles and that the treaty with Germany is the model. I think that is the chief element of delay, sir. Other Treaties Defended Senator Lodge: They are not regarded as essential to the consideration of this treaty? The president: They are not regarded as such, no sir; they follow this treaty. Senator Lodge: I do not know about the other treaties, but the treaty with Poland, for example, has been completed? The president: Yes and signed; but it is dependent upon this treaty. My thought was to submit it upon the action on this treaty. Senator Lodge then asked whether the president would show the committee the tentative league of nations drafts submitted by Great Britain, France and Italy. British Draft Definite The president: I would have sent them to the committee with pleasure, senator, it I had found that I had them. I took it for granted that I had them; but the papers that remain in my hands remain there in a haphazard way. I can tell you the character of the other drafts. The British draft was the only one as I remember that was in the form of a definite constitution of a league. The French and Italian drafts were in the form of a series of propositions, laying down general rules and assuming that the commission, or whatever body made the final formulations would build upon those principles if they were adopted. They were principles quite consistent with the final action. I remember saying to the committee when I was here in March I have forgotten the expression I used, but it was something to the effect that the British draft had constituted the basis. I thought afterward that that was misleading, and I am very glad to tell the committee just what I meant. Story of Draft Some months before the conference assembled, a plan for the league of nations had been drawn up by a British committee at the head of which was Mr. Phillimore I believe the Mr. Phillimore who was known as the authority on international law. A copy of that document was sent to me and I built upon that a redraft. I will not now say whether I thought it was better or not an improvement. But I built on that a draft which was quite different, inasmuch as it put definiteness where there bad been what seemed indefiniteness in the Phillimore suggestion. Then between that time and the time of the formation of the commission of the league of nations, I had the advantage of seeing a paper by General Smuts of South Africa, who seemed to me to have done some very clear thinking, particularly with regard to what was to be done with the pieces of the dismembered empire. After I got to Paris therefore, I rewrote the document to which I have alluded, and you may have noticed that it consists of a series of articles and then I embodied the additional ideas that had come to me not only from General Smut's paper, but from other discussions. That is the full story of how the plan which I sent to the committee was built up. Senator Lodge: Then of course it is obvious that the General Smuts plan had been used. That appears on the face of the document. The president: Yes. Senator Lodge: Then there was a previous draft In addition to the one you have sent to us. You spoke of a redraft. That was not submitted to the committee. Had Own Redraft. The president: No; that was privately. my own. Senator Lodge: commission? Was it before our The president: No; it was not be fore your commission The president said a draft of Article X which Senator Johnson had presented to the committee "was part of the draft which preceded the draft which was sent to you." Senator Johnson said he had taken it from The Independent. The president: I read it with the greatest interest, because I had forgotten it. to tell the truth, but I recognized it as soon as I read it. Senator Lodge said he had been about to ask whether Article X In its present form had been in the British plan, but if there were no definite drafts of these plans, of course, the committee could not get them.

TROOPS GROSS (Continued from Page One) were to be the signal for Matlack to begin his perilous Journey into the bandit country. Captain Matlack said the two aviators landed In Maxico, contradicting the story of Lieut. Peterson. He cald the aviators thought they had landed in the United States and this impres sion on their part was not corrected until after they had reached the border early this morning. Confused in Air. The aviators, the captain said, had become confused while in the air and had mistaken the Conchos river for the Rio Grande. Instead of landing near Candelaria. as they thought, they had landed at a point near Falomir; Cribuahua, more than forty miles up the Conchos river, where they abandoned their wrecked airplane, after stripping it of machine guns and vital parts which might make it of use to the Mexicans. Thinking they were on the Rio Grande, they started down stream in an effort to locate Candelaria, and report their accident to military headquarters. They landed at 12:30 Sunday afternoon and were picked up Wednesday morning, by Jesus Renteria and a band of five other Mexicans. They. were taken into the mountain but thought they were approaching Valentine, Tex. They were told that sixey men belonged to the band while in reality the aviators saw only twenty men at the ranch where they were held. Threatened with Death. Captain Matlack said the bandits! were well mounted. The Americans tried once to make their escape but were threatened with death and did not renew their attempt. Various plans for obtaining the ransom money were discussed by the bandits. One was for the delivery of the money by Americans in the middle of the Rio Grande. Another was for the aviators to be taken one hundred yards up river and the money taken an equal distance down river and both left at the same time. Finally it was agreed that an American army officer should be sent from the American 6ide upon signals from the bandits by means of flares. At the same time Renteria was to 6tart from the Mexican side with the Americans. They were to meet and exchange prisoners and money. Captain Matlack's ruse by which he saved $7,500 was contrived on the spur, of the moment, after he had escorted Peterson across the border. "I just decided there was no use in paying those Mexicans that other other $7,500 after I had Davis, so I just told him to jump on behind on my horse. I spurred him hard and we made a wild dash for the border and made it. They called on us to halt, but I said "Go to H !" and crossed. Lieutenant Peterson crossed the border to the American side at 1:15 a. m., and Captain Matlack brought back Lieutenant Davis 45 minutes later. PARENTS OVERJOYED HUTCHINSON. Minn., Aug. 19 Samuel C Peterson, father of Lieutenant H. G. Peterson, was overjoyed when Informed early this morning of the safe return of his son across the border to the American side. "I consider that the army acted promptly and did everything in their power to help us. My wife and myself and two daughters will get our first rest in forty hours now." he said. "Secretary of War Baker and Senator Nelson promptly answered my request for action in the matter. The raising of the $15,000 ransom by the cowboys in Texas was an example of true Americanism of which I am proud. It was almost impossible to transmit that sum of money by wire for delivery in gold on such short notice. Their action may have saved the life of my boy and his comrade. Certainly now that the Mexican rebels have captured and held for ransom officers of the United States army, the government cannot let bandits' acts pass unnoticed. "The capture of United States army officers by bandits surely strikes at the heart of the government. "My son had hoped to get out of service soon. In a recent letter ho said he found things quiet and uninteresting and would like to return home." SIR TOM TIPTON TO MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT CUP LONDON. July 21.
