Washington, Nov. 7.—Another effort

mons amendment and one Democrat,
Myers, Montana,* voted Against it.

Washington, Nov. 7.—‘Refreshed by
an over-Sunday rest, the senate re-
turned to what hot developed last
week into an endurance fight over the
tax revision bill
Republican leaders fondly hoped,
however, that the fall of the gavel
at 16 a m. today had. marked the be-
ginning of the final round of the gruel-
ling contest
This hope apparently was based
largely upon tbe terms of .the unan-
imous consent agreement under which
senators could speak only once and
then only for ten minutes on any
amendment and on tbe. bill itself.
Whether the hope would be realised
depended upon the number of amend-
ments that wduld be forthcoming.

amendments, that by Senator Reed.

"If. as prime minister of the French

Premier Briand, who said he would
reserv e formal comment on the confer-
ence until he had seen President Hard-
ing, comes with the purpose ef as-
sisting during the first twelve days of
t he conference in determining the prin-
ciples upon which Subsequent details
are results will rest He comes with-
out instructions and wltb-a free hand.
He will enter the conference with these
genera) policies dear lir his mfnd.
First, the French government’s ob-
ligations to the League of Nation# do
not preclude France from Joining other
powers Inside or outside the League
In limiting armaments or settling other
questions that the League consider*
as within Its jurisdiction;
Beoond, French policy is identical
with that of the United States toward
commander of the
American Legion, asking the assist-
ance of his organization in order to
make public all records and Informa-
tion relating to tho senator’s allega-
tions.
After quoting the senator's charges
as printed in the Congressional Rec-
ord of October II. the secretary suid:
“The foregoing statement coming so
long after the lommisslon of the al-
leged crimes constitutes a reflection
upon the entire personnel of the
American expeditionary force. Con-
sider the public entitled to all the facta
which It Is within the power of my of-
fice to produce. If there possibly ex-
ists any basis for such an allegation
the responsible persons should bear
the odium. Otherwise definite refu-
tation is desirable.
"The war department will make
available all of its records and such
information as may come from per-
sons under its control. However, such
persons constitute but a small per-
centage of those who served overseas
and who have been attacked.
"I request that the American Legion
lend its assistance in gathering all
facta bearing on the issue Which has
been raised.” -
