DEBATE OH LH ETTER jlSEMIE r. REED, OF MISSIOURI, DECLARES DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT TO BE LARGELY PARTISAN. ! : i . REPEATED OBJEGTiOKS MADE [ Senator Knox Naively Suggests That | Senators First Read the Measure Before Discussing It. : ?c~ " : . Washington.?The league of nations h,.. ? ? was debated in the senate again with an increasing show of bitterness. Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, attacked the proposal in such < vigorous terms that he aroused repeat- j ed objections from senators support-! in* it and developed a running debate j colored by dramatic accusations and : i 4 heated retorts. The Missouri senator ! H declared the league would place tue ; ki destinies of the whfte race in the ? hands of ignorant and superstitious i nations of black and yellow popula- j v tion, and charged that many Demo-j crats were supDorting it for partisan! reasons. j In frequent interruptions of the Mis- j souri senator's speech, Senator Hitch-; cock, of Nebraska, ranking Democrat of the foreign relations committee, in*, slated that the premises for these' charges were false and that the mrerj .ences drawn were unfair and danger-! ^ vW?. He drew in turn a reply from Pi Senator Knox, Republican, of Penn? ylvania, who suggested that support- j k- ers of the league covenant should L read it before they discussed it. ^ The measure which brought the league issue before the senate was th& resolution of Senator Johnson, Repub 11 ?' ronnacfino' from ^ HUiUl, \Jl V/OIUUIUW, 1 the State Department the full text of the peace treaty. There was no attempt to reach a vote on the resolution, and the measure went over again as unfinished business to come up when the senate reconvenes. Without speaking directly on the w Johnson resolution. Senator Reed made a general attack upon the league covenant itself as a proposal to hand Ip over control of the white race and the civilized world to an assembly of' nations where a majority always could be brought together on any race question in opposition to white supremacy. * ?He declar^nT^rrpport of the league plan never could be explained at home by senators from the south, with its negro problem, or from the west, with Its Chinese and Japanese problems. i ! I COTTON IS PRACTICALLY ^ RELIEVED FROM EMBARGO * ???- , Washington.?Recent increases in -5 cotton prices were attributed to toe raising of restrictions upon cotton exports to German-Austria and Jugoslavia by Senator Smith, of Georgia, in a statement. ^ ^ ''While, cotton is still on the embargo list" Senator Smith said, "the war tvade board iruder powers vested in it by the President, has practically relieved cotton from being on the embargo list. The principal cotton jjoSDs. of Austria were in German-Austria and Jugoslavia and all of ti^is territory is now open to cotton shipments without restrictions. The quantity restrictions of shipments to SwitHolland. Denmark, Norway and Sweden have also been removed. * 1 WITHDRAWING AMERICAN FORCES FROM ARCHANGEL! i Washington.?Withdrawal of Amer_ lean forces from Archangel is actually under way, according to cable advices to the war department which stated that all members of the 339th infan-, try were awaiting evacuation. The withdrawal ia in line with the policy of the American government \ announced by Secretary Baker Derone; the house military affairs committee ! test February. At that time Mr.: y 'Baker said it had been decided to withdraw ail American troops from j the Archangel district as early In the \ ' spring as climatic conditions would permit j |p?V * AUSTRIAN PEACE TERMS FOLLOW GERMAN CLOSELY j , Paris.?The peace terms to be tmuoon Austria follow closely the lines of the Germ* treaty, but such j knotty problem* as the appointment j of what part of the Austrian war bur den is to be borne by various now! states still is undecided. j Little or no progress has been made with the Italo-Ju^o-SIav controversy j or wfth the proposal for readjustment! _ between Belgium and Holland of the! 9 f treaty of 1839. FREE RUNNING CRUDE OIL FOUND IN ENGLAND I i London.?Free running crude,, oil has been found in England. The announcement of this important, discov?ry was cautiously made in a two- ' column news article In the editorial j page in the Times. The location is in the Midlands, Duke of Devonshire's J ^property, and in the coal mining: dis*^jrict near Chesterfield. a?scoverv has opened up a wide : of speculation in all industrial in England.

To force the growth of plants by the use of artificial light Is not a new idea, but the system hitherto has been too expensive in proportion to obtain^ ^ . able results. ^ Recently a man engaged In hortlcul- a ture discovered an efficacious method t of applying light for this purpose. Arranging if* winter quarters his plants as he wished them to grow,, he sup plies a lamp with mercury vapor foi fuel and the seeds germinate in less than half the ordinary time, while the vigor and intensity of the color of the flowers is superior to that of the product grown naturally. - I Another curious phenomenon noticed in connection with this action oi light is an infinite multiplication ol the downy substance commonly found ? on stems. Those grown in shadow 3 have the stems relatively bare. Verj 1 trood practical results have been ob ( tained by this system. t ; g v Hot Blast of Volcanoes. ' * Writing in the Monthly Weathei Review George N.

It was passed withut a dissenting vote after consider : bte parti "an discussion, Republicans nd Democrats making counter, harges of responsibility for delay in ayment of the family allowances. During the partisan skirmishing, Representative Mann charged that, ^resident Wilson" was responsible e?-' Lrely for delay in the appropriations nd the hardships of soldiers, fami j ies due to failure to receive their t lay 1 checks. He added that the resident had neglected or rerusea ic; all congress sooner because of feai; hat the league of nations would be iScussed. Democrats sharply retort- i d that the senate Republicans' fili-j uster, which held up the war risk! unds, and not the president, was re| ponsible. The speakers were ap-j lauded according to their partisan j filiation as the political points were' nade.
