JACKSON, Miss.—The peace treaty
was rejected by tlie senate as a result
of a "great conspiracy' 'against Presi

liams declared March 26 to the Missis
sippi legislature.
Declaring the treaty debate was the
"most confused gabfest in the his
tory of the world," Senator Williams,
long known as a master of sarcasm
in senate debate, excoriated those who
helped defeat the league of nations.
"I do not see how any man who
loves his country can look with un
concern on what has just occurred,"
lie said. "There was a chance for the
United States to stand at the head of
a council of nations of the world; to
lead the universe in tlie pathways of
peace. The opportunity was rejected
and future historians will refer to the
last two years as the 'time of the
great conspiracy.'
"The long winded arguments in the
senate were like fiddling as Rome
burned, talking with a world in chaos.
Do you blame me for saying that I
would rather be a dog and bay the
moon than to spend one minute in
the senate after the expiration of my
terms of office?

expressed sorrow? Has any one seen
words of sympathy for the president
in any republican paper? A great man
is sick, a great mind and a great
character and they have whispered
'we've got him now.'

Several of the big landowners called
together small units of between 100

No quarter will be shown military

still prevailing in many quarters, he
added, and asserted ithe government
would oppose the French demand for

Darmstadt and other cities, in return
for the privilege of sending German
troops into the neutral zone. The gov
