MOSES AMENDMENT KILLED IN SENATI New Resolution Offered by Senatoi Johnson Is Defeated by Count of 43 to 35. cjr < * w Washington, Oct. 29.?The fortysix amendments attached to the peac< treaty by the foreign relations com mittee passed into history today whei the last survivor of the group, a pro posal by Senator Moses, Republican ^ New Hampshire, to revise votinj strength in the league of nations wa: consigned to the discard in the Sen ate by a vote of 47 to 36. As if gaining impetus by this ac complishment, the Senate then upsel j two more proposed textual changes ir the treaty brought in by individua Senators. One of them, presented bj Senator Sherman, Republican, Illinois, and proposing to write into the treaty preamble a reference to the deity, was laid on the table by a vote of 57 to 27. The other, sponsored by Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali^ fornia, as a new solution for voting inequality in the league, was killed outright by a count of 43 to 35. At adjournment, however, the effort to hasten final action had brought up against an obstacle which seemed likely to prevent further progress for several days. Tomorrow a determined group of Senators will launch a fight to eliminate the labor section of the treaty, opening a debate which, in view of unsettled labor conditions over the country is expected by the leaders to last for at least a week. The battle is expected to be the more spirited because it is regarded as holding out whatever hope remains of writing any amendment into the treaty. Opposed by Republicans. Nine Republicans joined the Democrats in overthrowing the Moses aTnpnHmpntis. which nrovided that none of the British dominions should . vote in any league controversy directly affecting any one of them. Three Democrats voted with the Republicans supporting it. On the new Johnson amendment, proposed as a substitute for the one rejected last week, the line up was exactly the same as on the California Senator's Bfg * rW original proposal, the only changes ir the actual record vote being due tc absences and pairs. The Shermar amendment got only scattered support, most of the Republican leaders helping the Democrats put it out oi the way. As usual the greater part of th( day's debate related to subjects asid< from the matters directly under con sideration. The labor section, al though not before the Senate at all ^ got the biggest share of attention Senator La Follette, Republican Wisconsin, centering discussion aboul it with a three-hour speech assailing the proposed international labor organization as filled with peril tc American labor. For a while when Senator Sherman's amendment was considered the debate got into the realm oi literature and religion, Mr. Sherman ! declaring Voltaire would have rejoiced to see the collection of "God less men" who gathered at Versailles and Senator Lodge, Republican, Massachusetts, replying with Mac(Beth's exclamation "I can not say 'God bless us."' It would be a tra vesty, said Mr. Lodge, to invoke divine blessings on such a treaty. Unable to Perceive It. Also opposing the amendment Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado said if the chaplain's daily prayer ir the Senate chamber had accomplishec any improvement, he had been un able to perceive it. He added tha he did not favor "saddling the A1 mighty with all the sins of man.' Other opponents pointed out that th< American Constitution had endure< without containing a reference to tn< deity and declared such a referene in the treaty would make trouble be cause of the many religions repre sented. The chair was unable to control th< galleries when Senator Sherman saying he was not a member of an; church, got into a tilt With Speake Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas. "I have never prayed in my life"? said Mr. Sherman. / v"Doesn't the Senator think," in terjected Senator Robinson, "tha it's about time he began'/" "No," Mr. Sherman shouted, whil the galleries kept up a roar *o laughter. "No, not at the appearance of any such antagonist as the Sena tor from Arkansas. I can take car< of him myself." The motion to table was made bj Senator Robinson after Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, wh< had voted for several committee amendments, pleaded that Senator.' who were consistently opposing al amendments as a matter of principle should not be asked to go on racorc iirectly in regard to the one pro josed by Senator Sherman.

LU' I j haters in the senate have been knocked in the head. Originally only a few amendments were suggested, bat as the feeling of the anti-administration senators grew in intensity and their hopes for scuttling the treaty and discrediting Wilson grew into desperation, others j were hatched, until there were fortyjsix in all, attacking the treaty and ' league of nations covenant from al| most every conceivable angle in a j blind determination to destroy it. i Each in turn, beginning, with -the ' | Shantung amendment, was, after in '} terminable procrastination and "de' | bate," put to a vote, and such was j promptly and positively defeated by j a majority that grew as the voting ! progressed. j Now, it is announced in the press "; dispatches that? 11 A determined group of senators 11 will launch a fight to eliminate the i labor section of the treaty, opening *|a debate which, in view of unsettled *! labor' conditions over the country, is " | expected by the leaders to last for at " j least a week. The battle is expected 'to be more spirited because it is re* j garde d as holding out whatever hope ' | remains of writing any amendment '!into the treaty. ' | This is only additional evidence re"jvealing the animus that lies behind ','and has inspired the fight that the Lodge-Johnson-Borah-Reed element in the senate has waged against the |; treaty since the first inkling of "its J contents was made public. L | The sole and single purpose of the '1 senatorial pirates is to repudiate the "jwork of President Wilson by killing ?|the treaty, and it mattered not upon . j what pretext. ' j Originally their criticism was cenr tered upon the Monroe doctrine pro"' vision in the treaty. Then, when ". that was reconstructed by the peace ! conference in a way that made it im- j ' mune from further attack, they pro?. fessed to find something else wrong, ? then another fault, and another, etc., | 1 until their fire was directed at forty-! 1 six different points in the hope that one of the lot would prove vulnerable. ' " j It was a long time after the treaty ' j "debate" opened before any criticism 3, was directed against the Shantung 1 j provision, but once it was assailed it j b i appealed with growing favor to the e j treaty grave-diggers. -1 That amendment proposal, the first J -1 to be voted upon, was defeated and | j the others have gone the same way. | s So the labor provision of the treaty j has been picked out as the target for j V j the last shot of the buccaneers. j r | It is not that the provision is not i acceptable?not that it is not hu-! mane and constructive in every respect, nor that* the public is dissat-; isfied with it?but it is a last resort 11 attempt to find something, anything, j by attacking which the treaty struce j ture might be punctured. fj It is a desperate game of bitter ' -i i J: - J 4.1.? e ness ana dangerous uisregaru iui mc f - welfare of the country that is being 5 played by this little coterie of obstructionists and partisan acid-throwr j ers. r > SOUTH CAROLINA WILL > GREATLY EXCEED QUOTA 1 South Carolina, given an oppor?i tionment o' $5,500,000 in the Baptist ' j i 75 Million Campaign, will greatly ex. |cccd that quota. and will probably go I I'.yond >T,000,o<i0, in the ( pinion of j Dr. T.
