On his return to Paris, he said: "The day has been very instruc tive to me. It has beenI in many ways exceedingly painful, because what I saw was deeply distressing, but it has enabled me to have a full er conception than ever of the ex traordinary suffering and hardships of the people of France in the hap tism of cruel fire through which they have passed." At one place a pleasant incident occurred. The president's car stopped to get oil and a little group of peo ple of the village, together with some who had driven out from Montdidier, gathered around the car and chatted.

WILSON'S AMENDMENT TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANTS MEETS WITH SEVERE OPPOSITION (Special United Press Wire to The Bulletin.) Paris, March 24.-The amendment to the league of nations' covenant was advocated by Wilson and House. It is expected the amendment will be presented at tonight's session of the league commission. It would prevent any power from acquiring territory in the western hemisphere by conquest, purchase, treaty or other wise unless the Americans consented. It is meeting opposi tion from the commission, especially from the British and French, who have extensive interests in the Americas. It could not be learned whether President Wilson would attempt to force the amendment despite the opposition, but it is be lieved he will strongly advocate its adoption, in as much as it would remove much ground for opposition in the United States. Some contend the Monroe doctrine proposal marks considerable recession from Wilson's original position. The covenant would not be altered except in a minor way. iWORLD NOW FACES A SERIOUS SITUATION (Special United Press Wire.) I rii t 11 h l 2 ,4t .
