An Alliance to
Shield France
Iowa Senator Declares U. S.,
British, French Alliance
Preferable to Agreement
to Protect All Nations
Would Amend Covenant
Any Doubt in Article X as
to America's Rights Will
Be Cleared Up, He Asserts
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 10.?The pro?
posed alliance between the United
States, England and France for the
protection of France against future
German aggression was indorsed in
a statement issued here to-day by
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, who de?
clared that he "would much prefer to
protect France than to enter into any
agreement by which we were to pro?
tect all the nations of the world."
. Senator Cummins, comment on the
ovenant, although guarded, neverthe?
less indicated plainly that he would
favor amending it. The original ob?
jections to the first covenant proposed
by President Wilson have been "partly
removed," he said. "It may safely be
said there will be an energetic effort
on the part of those of us who feel
that Article X is still objectionable to
write into the resolution of ratification
language which will clear up ovi
doubts."
"Any comment I make on the lcagu< I
of nations," said Senator Cummins,1
"and the treaty of peace I wish- to
preface by saying I have not examined
carefully the provisions of the treaty
and closer reading may clarify my
ideas.
Pleased at Peace Terms
"The heavy conditions imposed upon
Germany are gratifying. I hope they
may prove to be so drastic that they
will effectually prevent Germany from
repeating her atrocities and crimes.
"As to the suggested alliance for
the protection of France, ? am willing
to defend any country against Ger:
many and especially France. I am
in favor of making the future safe
for France, because of our sympathy
for France and her people and partly
because that was one of the reasons
we entered the war. I would mud1
prefer to protect France than to enter
into any agreement by which we were
to protect all the nations of the world.
Had Three Objections
"When President Wilson presented
the first draft of the league covenant
I had three objections to the proposed
constitution, and I said if they were
removed I would support the proposal.
These objections were: First, the
jurisdiction exercised by the legisla?
tive council of the league over our
purely internal policies might f_ive rise
to controversy between ourselves and
other countries. Second, Article X.
Third, the obligation of the United
States to accept from the league of
nations the mandatory for adminis?
tration of a foreign country or people.
"Two of these objections have been
partly removed. There has been no
attempt to amend or change Article
X, and it is just as objectionable
as ever. It safely may be said there
will be an energetic effort on the
part of those of us who feel that way
to write into the resolution of rati?
fication language that will clear up
our doubts.
"The terms of the treaty of peace
and the ce-venant of the league of na?
tions should be separated."
Penrose Demands
Open Discussion of
League by Wilson
New York Tribune
'Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 10.?Open dis?
cussions of the covenant of the league
of nations by the Foreign Relations
Committee, with the President appear?
ing to explain it, was advanced to-day
by Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
%
as his personal view of the method
the Senate should pursue in consider?
ing ratification. Other Senators on
the Foreign Relations Committee, how?
ever, expressed the view that this plan
was impracticable.
"Thore is no information when the
treaty will be sent to the Senate," Sen?
ator Penrose said. "There may be de?
lays. It may bo necessary to make
moro partitions of territory before the
door is closed to future despoiling.
Italy may yet have to be satisfied fully.
"When the treaty comes to the Sen?
ate it, of course, will be referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations
and the committee will proceed
promptly with the meai_?re. This con?
sideration will take considerable time
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the committee might want to have
hearings in order to be informed of
the roason and arguments concerning
some particular detail. It is almost a
certainty that the treaty document will
be amended in the committee to a con?
siderable extent and will later on be
doubtless further amended on the floor
of the Senate.
"It might turn out that President
Wilson will appear before the commit?
tee personally to inform it concerning
the measure, and in any event, as I
have frequently stated, I believe that
the proceedings in the Senate should
be open and public."
As to the Shantung concessions,
which characterized as a despoilation
of China, Senator Penrose said:
"I got the impression that the giv?
ing of Shantung to Japan is a viola?
tion of every principio of tho league
of nations. It seems to me to be noth?
ing short of a bribe to Japan to con?
cur in the league. It bars the way to
rights and privileges of 40,000,000
Chinese and dispossesses China of vital
rights against her will.
"The United States has been invited
to join the league of nations and,
under tho provisions of Article X, of
the covenant, this country, as well as
any other party to the league, will be
called upon to guarantee for all time
the possession of Shantung by Japan.
The Chinese will find it difficult to
comprehend the practical workings of
the idealistic programme outlined in
the Fourteen Points. China has been
despoiled and no unctuous phrases can
alter the fact."

5,000 of 7,000 Jews
In Proskulov Slain
Report of Massacre Near Odessa
in February Just Received
"in This Country
Five thousand out of a total of 7,000
Jews in Proskulov, near Odessa, were
killed in a pogrom that lasted from
2 to G o'clock the afternoon of Feb?
ruary 15.
A long delayed report of this massa?
cre has just been received by Jewish
relief agencies in this country and was
made public last night by the Ameri?
can Jewish Relief Committee for Suf?
ferers from the War, at 16 East For?
tieth Street, The report is one of the
few indications of actual conditions in
the Ukraine that have emerged from
the obscurity enveloping that country.
Word of the pogrom was contained
i in a letter received by the organization
from Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum, its re?
lief agent in Constantinople.
"Jews are being massacred daily in
the Ukraine," his letter says. "In
| Proskulov, near Odessa, 5,000 out of
? 7,000 Jews were killed February 15 be
| tween 2 and 6 in the afternoon. Most
i of those surviving were seriously
; wounded. Report of this pogrom,
! brought to me by a handful of refugees
who just arrived from Odessa, has
since been confirmed by official authori?
ties and by Russian newspapers."
Venezuela Forces Rout
Invaders From Colombia
Revolutionists Abandon fVrins
and Dead in Their Hur
ried Departure
CARACAS, Venezuela, May 10 (B..;
The Associated Press).?Revolutionist
who invaded Venezuela from Colombia
late in April were defeated completely
in fighting on April 28 and April 30
and have retired into Colombia, the
government announced to-day.
The revolutionists, led by Ernesto
Livares, crossed the frontier at Urcna
and San Autoned, after an unsuccess?
ful attempt to assassinate General
Eustoquio Gomez, Governor of the
State of Tachira.
The revolutionists abandoned their
arms and their dead in their retirement
and left prisoners in the hands of the
government forces. General Rugeles,
the government commander, was killed
after a successful defence of his posi?
tions.
Public opinion condemns the attempt
to start a civil war. The revolutionary
effort, from all indications, received no
, support anywhere in Venezuela.
There is some truth in the fierce and blood-thirsty
dragon after all. It is a strange fact that human fancy
should have in some cases at least, created monsters
not unlike some of these antediluvian animals whose
remains have been discovered in the ancient rocks of
Europe and America.
Scientists have called them dinosaurs?terrible lizards
?and the greatest of them all, the most ferocious, was
the flesh-eating tyrannosaurus, whose actual skeleton
is reconstructed, as shown above, at the museum.
Come today from ten to five or Sunday from one to
five and bring the youngsters. It's free.
