SEHBIAN PRENIER L MAKING CHARGES Dr. Vesnitch Says France, England R and Russia Disposed of 'Serbian lights. Paris, Jan. 4.-"'France, 'England and Russia, in their treaties with Italy and Rumania, disposed of Ber- ci bian rights," said Dr.' -M. t. Vesnitch, p Aremier of Serbia, today'in ahl hter- si V'iew given the Associated Press. n "Rumaula lost her bargain when t< . she began peace negotiations with the 0 Central Powers in 191, ' ' con- s; 'tinued. "Does the treaty -of 1915 -be tween Italy and France, England and 5 Russia, regarding the Eastern Coast P of the Adriatic still stand in interna- 0 tional law?" d "There are two facts which would -seem to negative this question. Ameri- c ,a entered the war after the signing f -of the treaty. She came in as the I avowed enemy of secret treaties and c 'the Entente accepted that principle. E Further, at the time of the signing c of this treaty, Italy wants the terri- ( tory in question as a protection against I slavish domiiation, backed by Russian power. 'But, with the political up heaval in Russia, this situation has disappeared. The time is over, it seems to me, when an imperialist pol- I icy might be favored in Europe. "Why should not the nations of the Balkans have the same rights as the others?" "At the peace conference there will be represented four different kinds of nations: 'First, those who entered the war with the idea of domination; Second, those who entered it with high ideals, like America, and, 'Third, those who entered it as a business proposition. Unhappily for Serbia those nations surrounding her belong to the last named class. "I believe that Serbia will demand to know on what basis she enters the peace conference and I think that in so doing she will have the assistance of America. President Wilson has announced that the United 'States came into the war to abolish secret ireaties, If America enters the con 'ference with such treaties to be con -sidered, then what iwill the people -of the world think? "What credit will be given in fu -ture to those speaking on behalf and in the name of the United States? "Some of these treaties were made -with reference to nations who were -not consulted and the governments -concluding them had no right to dis 'pose of peoples not their own." In the first portion of the foregoing interview, cabled on Saturday night, Dr. Vesnitch declared that if the treaty of 1915, by Which Italy twas to come into possession of the Eastern Coast of the Adriatic should be con firmed 'by khe peace conference, "then Serbia would ?fight again, and fight again, and ilght to the finish." lie added, "Serbia did not enter this war to become the vassal of any na tion. She cannot agree to have Italy control the territory in question." He added, however, that ho believed the presence at the conference, of the 'United States, wvhich had already de clared against secret treaties and in favor of the rights of small nations, assured "fair play." -ALABAMA AiEltCH AN'ie ADDS MOtE PILAMSE Promninent Southmerne'r Gives Out Ite miarkable Statemient for Publication.

EWIS ATTAOKS * LODGE A D KNOX * S apublican Critics of President Scored. e Plain Word& Spoken. Illinois Sen ator Declares that Effort is Being Made to Discredit Woodrow Wilson. I Washington, Jan. 2.-'Republican ritics of 'President Wilson and his a Dace terms were attacked in the a mnate today .by Zenator Lewis of Illi ols, the Democratic whip. Replying _:_1 F recent addresses of Senators Lodge f Massachusetts and Knox of Penn VIvania, Senator .Lewis charged that C certain leaders on the UeilubUcai a ide" had conspired for political pur ose to discredit the president in the yes of European negotiators and to 0 efeat his plans. II The Illinois senator was unable to onclude his speech today,. bht will n nish tomorrow, after which Senator h1 lorah of Idaho, Republican opponent t, f a league of nations, plans to reply; c ienators Thomas of Colorado, Demo- r rat, and Cummins of Iowa, Republi an, also expect to discuss peace and o elated questions tomorrow. Senator Lewis said he did not ob- r ect to Senators Lodge and Knox u 'qualifying for the support of Colonel I: loosevelt and his following for the iomination for president," but that he lid object to "the country being de 3eived as to the design and the presi lent of the United States dishonored by false political pretenses to accom plish the purpose." Declaring that the president's Re publican critics in the senate had fail ed to utter one sword of satisfaction at the safe arrival of the president over seas or of the great honors being showod him by European rulers and peoples, senator Lewis said it was not too much to believe that they would not have been displeased to find the president's name In the casualty lists. "Nothing he has attempted but is condemned," declared Senator Lewis, referring to President Wilson; "noth Ing he has spoken or accomplished has been praised or indorsed." Senator Lewis read from speeches and statements by fSenators Lodge and Knox in an effort to ,;how that their present attitude is inconsistent with tha4 they assumed in regard to President McKinley's action relative to a peace protocol with Spain in 1898, and President Roosevelt's course as to the peace arrangement growing out of the uprising in China'in 1901. The policy pursued by President Wil son, he said, is identical with that of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. -During debate, precipitated by Sen ator Lewis' speech, Senator Borah, re ferred to statements of a leading Jap ancee statesman, declaring that Japan would not enter any league which did not place the people of that country on an equal -basis with those of other countries. Sonator Borah said the United States could hardly agrre to such a proposition iwille Chairman Hitchcock of the senate foreign rela tions committee dnelared this was a domestic and not an international qulestion and would nIot comel witin tile scope of thle league of nations. Senator florah said 11e believed Chlina wvould take the same attiude as .Japan on the citIZenship question and~ tihat if it did an "oriental league" mighlt result, bringing about "circum stances more calculated to bring wvar thlan to plrevent it." * * * IN MEMORY* *Corp.
