Platform With Johnson, Reshes Back to Washington .on ~ Receiving Wire Fronn Lod§fe> Des Moines, la., Sept. 16.--In ratification of the I>eague of Nations covenant as it now stands. Senator Hiram Johnson of California sees the establishment of a "British world." That's what he told 8,000 men und women who gathered at the Coliseum here to hear him answer the pro-league arguments presented in the same hall nine days ago by President Wilson. His speech here represented no exception In this regard. The demonstrative part of the crowd roared out prolonged acquiescence with the curator, when he hammered a flat ifito a palm and shouted: "By the treaty Great Britain becomes possessed of a fourth of the earth's surface; she gains ownership of an overwhelming preponderance of the peoples of the earth." "Great Britain proudly contemplates out of this peace a British world," the speaker went on after quiet had been restored. Mr. Johnson denied that the League of "Nations was a body calculated to prevent war. "Actually, it is a gigantic war trust," e insisted. In its very creation it is stripped of every Idealistic purpose It ever had. It contains within itself germs of future wars. And, worst of all, It rivets upon millions of peoples a chain of tyranny and cements for all time unjust aud wicked annexations." "The league is »'great world economic trust, wherein a few men sitting in secret may control the destinies of peoples. The league does in no place concern itself with peoples whose past wrongs and future rights were so eloquently portrayed by the president." "The league can never mean the end of discontent or the cessation of war, for peoples held in cruel subjection like the Koreans or Chinese will ever be striving for their liberty and their self-determination, for which we talked so much and did so little." "This league means that the greatest democracy In the world--our country-- must not only continue a party to the denial of these peoples' rights whenever they are usserted, but to our diplomatic denial we will add denial economically, and by force of arms. "The president tells us we must sac rlflee and throw In our destinies with the rest of the world. Why? The very query evokes from league enthusiasts angry retort. But they will not enlighten us. They prefer to hint darkly at our motives, and deny , even our good faith." "We are demanding none of the spoils of war," he cried. "But, In the r.i^me' of America, let us at least refuse to be treated as part of the spoils. I do not quarrel with our allies for making Germany pay the full price. I do quarrel with those who propose to require our blood and our treasure fo.* all time In the future to preserve the booty of the war to England, France, Japan and Italy.** A Des Moines newspaper attacked the stand of the reservationlsts as to Shantung: the paper's editor charged that Japan only received railroad and harbor rights, and in no way really encroached upon the rights of China. The senator's answer to this wns characteristic. "Any man who defends tho Shantung agreement Is mentally crooked," he said. "We may not help China directly by refusing to ratify the covenant but, at least, then we will not be party to a fraud. This Shantung question Is not one concerning benefits conferred. It is a question of meeting a moral Issue as Americans should meet It. Because you enn't prevent a burglary is no reason why you should go Into partnership with a burglar." Senator William E, Ho rah of Idaho had arranged to meet Senator Johnson here and speak with him at the CoMt-eum. The Idaho senator was summoned to Washington, however, by Senator Lodge, who felt that the developments in the capital within the last several days required presence of the full anti-league forces. In a telegra n from Chicago Senator Borah wi«-ed Senntor Johnson tluit he would keep him in daily touch with the Washington situation und that for the {.resent Mr. Johnson could continue his sjttnking tour without sacrificing his uuti-league interests In the sennip. Human Nature. Modern thinking, proposing to ferttd morality solely upon the principles of human nature, will have to take account of all there Is in human nature. And one of the first things we meet there Is the necessity, in order that man may come to his true self, that he is possessed by something, some one beyond himself.--Jonathan Brierley. I Free lunch.

Patterson of Portland Are the VMiin^' ^ ,V::' Two Are Hurt. ' • *'•£?• ' • ii ^-.vfcv Portland, Ore., Sept. 16.--Driven at breakneck speed along the Columbia highway. 12 miles from here, an automobile bearing three of the Washington newspaper corresponents accompanying President Wilson's party left the road, turned turtle on an incline and left two dead and three Injured men In its wake. Ben. F. Allen,' for 15 yeAW the Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, was instantly killed, as was James 11. Patterson, seventy- three years old. the owner and driver of the ear. The injured were Robert T. Small, Washington correspondent of the Philadelphla Public Ledger; Stanley M. Reynolds, Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, and Arthur D. Sullivan, a reporter for the Portland News. Both Mr. Small and Mr. Reynolds will recover. The tragedy cast a pall over the entire presidential party and the president made only a short address here this noon and this evening. V • Arrangements Poor. For the first time on the trip the presidential party met poor arrangements here. The pilot car which guided the party 80 miles from here to Crown Point, a site which gives an extensive view of the Columbia river, hit dp a puce that approximated 40 miles an hour at times and members of the president's party were fearful for his safety. The road in spots is very narrow and over steep hills and inclines, and for this reason the drivers were cautioned to preserve a slow rate of speed. The accident occurred shortly after the president left the Multnomah connty fair grounds near the town of Gresham, and this If? why It happened: In every town where the president has spoken, local committees have arranged an automobile procession In advance for his party and all persons on the special train are assigned to a certain numbered car In each town. In car number seven were Messrs. Allen. Small. Reynolds and David Lawrence, the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. When they approached number seven car here, they found that the majority of its seats were taken by local townspeople. Mr. Lawrence decided not to go on the drive, while Allen, Small and Reyrydds sought another motor and obtained seats In No. 18 In the procession. On the return from Crown Point, Patterson's car had some engine trouble and was slightly delayed. When repairs were made he attempted to regain his place In line and speeded up. The motor, a large, seven passenger car had a clear roadway for a time, but meanwhile other motorists anxious to glide out from cross roads to trail the president had edged in. One of these was C. H. Barnett and It stalled In the middle of qfche highway. Patterson tried to avoll a collision but his car was traveling at such a high rate of speed that It left the road. • Mr. Allen was In the front seat as was Patterson. The three other men were in the rear seat and were thrown clear of the car. which after turning turtle, righted Itself on the road. President in Friendly Territory. President Wilson was in friendly territory here. There was nothing of the "blue Monday" evident In the reception that the people of this city gave him, both at his appearance on the streets here at nine o'clock in the morning, when he spoke at luncheon and again at night In his address at the Auditorium. Two short but peppery addresses were made by the president as a result of the warm greetings. He again it Iterated that he had not the slightest t'oubt that the treaty ultimately will be ratified by the senate. In all of his addresses he emphasized the fact that until the treaty was out of -the way there could be no hope of normal conditions prevailing In the world. Bids for Aid. He made a direct bid to the reservationlsts in the United States senate to come to his aid in order that peace might be ratified immediately. "I call upon them--the honest men. the sincere men--tofstand with me and fulfill the hopes and traditions of the United States." With Abundant Supply Of Water, the Desert Prom ices Again to Blos- • som Like the Rose,^/" "TMNteaert sliaU..rejoice and -bios- f< som like the rose," old Isaiah prophesied. The reclamation of Palestine by the British has at last opened the Holy land to the enterprise of the West, remarks the Journal of the American Medical Association. Captain Carson of the American Bed Cross commission, which followed General Allenhy, tells us tfiat the first problem of improvement encountered was that of water supply. That part of Palestine south of Beersheba has been piped with water from the Nile tjy British engineers with American equlpmeut--the realization. It Is said. Of a dream thousands of years old. Several million gallons a day are pumped from the canal near Kantara across the Suez canal Into Palestine. At Kantara rapid sand filters are used. The pipes are laid at least eighteen inches deep in the soil or sand of the desert in order to protect them and the water from heat. North of Beersfieba there is plenty of Water under the surface, though very little, owing to the geologic formation and meteorologlc conditions of Palestine, remains easily available. On the western slopes, however, the valleys form excellent reservoir sites for collecting the winter rains, though they would often have to be treated to prevent loss by percolation. The problem of the water supply of Jerusalem has been attacked by such noted men as Heieklah--who constructed a tunnel which is today an almost unexplainable engineering feftt-- Solomon, Pontius Pilate and Herod. In the spring of 1918 the British, using much of the Roman work, installed a six-Inch line from the springs of Wady-el-Arab, about sixteen miles south of Jerusalem, through which more than 200,000 gallons a day are how flowing into the city. It is said that Jerusalem could be famished with more than 20,000,000 gallons a day of pure water. Almost every house In the city has its rainwater cistern, and these, with proper inspection by the newly organized health department., are being filled with safe water. It Is to be expected that the disappearance of the picturesque water ven ders of Jerusalem will be accompanied by the passing of the terrible waterborne diseases prevalent under Turk Ish rule.

Seeing Rome From (ht Ale, American tourists may hereafter visit Roman ruins--the Coliseum, Forum, Pantheon, Caracalla baths and the basilica of Constantlne, St. Peter's and other Rome gems, not In antiquated horsedrawn carriages, but In airships. The Italian navy has established a commercial dirigible service for visiting Rome and Its environs from the air. The venture has met with complete success, for dally the aircraft are filled to capacity. The correspondent of the Associated Press viewed Rome from the Italian navy's dirigible M-l.

The strangest wedding ceremony ever witnessed was a double wedding of twin sisters. It was not only out of the ordinary but a little uncanny to see the father walking up the aisle of the church with two brides, one on each arm, both dressed exactly alike In white satin trailing robes. They were so much alike that in the excitement of the moment the future husbands could not tell them apart and claimed the wrong brides at the foot of the altar where they stood with the father. The two young women allowed their future husbands to be fooled until the preacher asked the fatal question, and then the mistake was made known, much to the embarrassment of the men.--Chicago Trlb- !V ' ^ The Bella of St. Paul's.
