LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

WILSON'S ADVOCACY. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. Australian and N.'A. Gable Association. (Rec. Sept. i>, 2.10) NEW YORK, Sept. 4. A message from Columbus, Ohio, states that President Wilson, who is touring the country on behalf of the League of Nations, said that, unless the League was adopted, war will recur. America stood for the rights of small nationalities—hence his opposition to Italy's claims. President Wilson added: "I would rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth." The Treaty was an honest attempt to right Europe's wrongs. Such a righting was now within measurable degree of success. When this Treaty was accepted the soldiers would never have to cross the seas again. After the speech a Chinaman shouted: "How about Shantung?" President Wilson did not reply.
