T-T lnitJ Pr. PAKIS, March 2. The revised coycnant of the league df Nation? IU be presented to the league com-mission with three Important amend-ments still in abeyance, It developed today. These amendment!) cover the Monroe Doctrine, Japan's claims for racial equality and France's recommendation for greater guarantees of military security. Delay in presentation of the Monroe Doctrine amendment is understood to have been due to information that other nations would take the opportunity to draw up 'clauses covering similar exceptions.

The constitution, now in the hand" of a special Drafting Committee is expected to be completed shortly. This committee's powers are restricted to framing the form of the covenant. It can change the verbiage but cannot add to or take away from the substance. President Wilson, it was stated, Is free to bring up his Monroe Doctrine amendment when the league Committee mets again to receive the redraft. The Fame situation covers the French 'amendment for establishment of an, international general staff and the Japanese amendment.

'As latter two reservations were made in a plenary session of the Peace Conference, it was pointed out that they might not be presented Until the next full meeting. Mandatories jtc Voluntary. At the last session of the Leaguo Committee, it was learned, a phrase was inserted In the mandatory making clear that acceptance of mandatories must be voluntary. Provision also was made for opening all offices in the league to women as well as men. In regard to withdrawals from the league, it was made necessary for any nation t3 give two years' notice.

With the history of a bitter struggle hebind them, in which suffragists all but sacrificed their lives for their cause, it was the British delegates who stepped forward with the amendment providing that all offices in the League of Nations be open'ed to women as well as men. Lord Cecil planned the amendment. He pointed out that while the covenant did not mention whether offices should bo held by men or Water Commissioner Wall told The Star today if the situation regarding the discharge of non-union city engineers in charge of pumping plants grew so acute that the shutting off of the city's water supply might result, he would discharge the men as a matter of safeguarding public welfare. "The jobs of two, men will not stand in the way of preventing the water supply from being shut off," Wall said. f- The' Star, in its late editions yesterday, told how Kngineers Union, Local No.

519, through its business agent, Charles M. Cassidy, had demanded of Wall that he discharge two non-union city engineers, with the alternative of a walkout. The men are John F. Schmidt, in charge of the pumping plant at the Chain of liocks station, which supplies the entire city wjth water, and John Bernard, in' charge of the pumping plant at the City Sanitarium. The demand of Wall specified that the discharge of the men be before April 1, which Is next Tuesday, municipal when a president and fourteen members of the board of aldermen wilt be elected for four-year terms.

Wall yesterday asked Cassidy to allow the city more time, but Cassidy informed him he was actfng under authority of a resolution adopted by the union Wednesday night, and was unable to give an extension on his own authority. Bernard and Schmidt formerly were members of the union, but withdrew about four years ago when they were placed in charge of the Director of Streets Would Fix Limits at 30 Minntes and Hour. ine-.

JKFFERSp.N; CI TV, -March 28. rThrcft after. Senator (J ray of Ca li li jpc had arrived th senate rhamWr after benfe rushed here from Si. Louis on a ide-ial train, winch of Streets' and Sewers Director tions to the kaiser's dream of worid conquest and attacked President Wilson for "indifference in matters as to, defects of the administration and admitted failures in war preparations." "The kaiser sought to set up a world government and there is no doubt he believed it was for the best interests of mankind," he said. "He proposed to enforce peace and to suppress the struggling aspirations of freedom, "Likewise the constitution for a League of Nations proposes to enforce peace, to put the world in a straight-jacket and expressly provides that the members of the league shall guarantee the territorial and political integrity of all the members against every attack." The senator said that "the delusion that a super-government of the world will bring perpetual peace, or even tend in that direction, has been due to the most colossal propaganda ever undertaken." Support of President.

One of the elements of this, he said, was "the widespread and mistaken assumption that it was unlawful to differ with the president. This grew out of. Hie Var legislation and government, pyblk-ity; work rallying the people to the support of the. president 'in war measures. "The idea that under all circumstances the president must be supported can readily be used to cover up inefficiency, extravagance, and even disloyalty.

"Mistreatment of soldiers, the fearful conditions in the debarkation camp at Brest, the indifference of the president to them; his failure to visit the camp, although in the city, and the similar attitude of indifference in various matters as to defects of the administration and admitted failures in war preparations should have been exposed In order that public opinion might be formulated upon a sound basis." A cecond element in the propaganda referred to was stated as follows: "There are the usual administration press lackeys acting as speaking tubes for the administration itseif through' which it voices its own praises and gives its own interpret l-tion to its acts. These men ie compensated by favors as to news and inside information, enabling them to sell their articles find to obtain a certain sort of fame in the literary and newspaper worid as echoes of the president's desires.

Following the election of 4he temporary officers, the league voted to admit delegates of all states having presidential suffrage to representation in the league.

It had been previously decided to admit only those having full suffrage. As the presidential suffrage bill, which Assistant Attorney General Will Decide Tonight If He Will Give Opinion. Assistant Attorney General John T. Gose, after hearing arguments of Glendy B. Arnold, Oscar E.

Buder and Vincent Dempsey of the Board of Election Commissioners on two moot points invlved in the movement recall Mayor Kiel, today said he would announce tonight whether he would give an opinion on the question. Arguments were heard by Gose, in a room at the Planters Hotel. The aekms Involved are whethes a.le-call tection can be held under the charter of the city and whether the board has the power to determine the validity of signatures on the recall petitions. Gose, before arguTuents star'ed, asked if an opinion from the attorney general would settle the or if such an opinion would merely by used by one side or the other in a lawsuit. Arnold ami Dempsey announced their willingness to abide by such an opin'on.

Buder refused to be bound by it. Dempsey today told a reporter for The Star that it was hi that the questions would have to be determined by the Supreme Court. Buder and Arnold presented their arguments in writing. Dempsey made his verbally. All three engaged in debate, which at times became heated, regarding the actions of the board and the city and state laws touching on election.

Market street. Fourth street, and Washington avenue. He said he would ask that the limit for north and south streets be placed at one hour and for east and west at thirty minutes.

The limit now is two hours for all streets. Talbert pointed out that of available space in the downtown district 52 per cent Is being used daily for parking cars. On north and south streets in the district, he asserted, an average of 8C3 are parked each hour and on east and west streets, 86, a total of 1.733. This Is an increase of 23 per cent over 1517 when the average was 1.403. No count was made last year.

In 1916, the average was 1,252, and 1913. the first year a record was kept. 641. The director contends that there is plenty of parking space, but that the streets are being used instead. On Twelfth street between Market and Washington, he says, there is room for 200 tars, but the largest number ever parked there is ninety.

On Eleventh street between the same limits, there Is space for 100 machines, utilized by not more than thirty-five. Talbert announced he would ask the police to enforce the parking ordinance on Third street between Chestnut and locust trets. A count made on two days this week showed on Third street between Pine and Chestnut streets there were twenty-three machines, which were parked for more than three hours. Nine of these were parked for more than eight hours and two for ten hours or more. ADVOCATES OF ANNEXATION ASKED TO GO TO CAPITAL morning, will be signed by the governor, that Missouri suffragist will have representation in the league.

The league was formed at yesterday's session as a par. of the national association. The morning session was convened at with Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president, and Mrs. Helen 11.

Gardener, fifth vice president, presiding. On the program for the general session this morning were Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of the National Council of Women; Miss Jessie Haver, legislative representative of the National Consumers' League; Mrs. Lydia Wichiiffe Hcmes of Louisiana and Mrs.

Ben Hooper of Wisconsin. A survey of the situation of the meat packing industiy was given at the morning sedition by Miss Jessie n. Haver, legislative represent-ativ of the National Consumers I-eague. She reviewed the recent investigation of meat packing corporations by the government and said in part: "The startling facts revealed by this investigation, from the point of view of the consumer, arc that the meat business ft his country is under control of five packers, known as the Big Five, that they have a control similar in extent over the principal meat substitutes such as eggs, I i i I i if. Good Sites Available.

Lambert has just received his discharge from the army, in which ne served as a major in the air service. He had command of Camp John Wise, in the balloon service. He told a reporter that St. Louis and the middle west have been reported by the army air service as the best part of the United States for airplane flying, because of the climate and the quality of air. "There are excellent' sites for airplane fields within ten miles of St.

Louis, adjacent to railway and street car lines," Lambert said. "The sites are located fn the Florissant Valley, between the Missouri and Missislppi rivers" and are of sufficient distance from St. Louis to permit the training of aviators and testing of machines. "Before anything i radical can be done to induce airplane manufacturing interests to consider St. Louis, a field must be acquired.

"Inventors of airplanes come to me continuously to interest me in the building of new types of airplanes, but nothing can be done in manufacturing them for commercial purposes until a field large enough for starting and landing is selected. "Scott Field. near Belleville, would not be of any benefit to St. Louis for the commercial manufacturing of airplones, because of its location, and because it is government property. For this reason also it probably never will be of any commercial benefit to Belleville, either." Liberty Motor Suitable.

"The argument that the airplane industry for peace purposes will not be developed soon in this country because the government now has on hand between 10,000 and 15,000 airplanes, and that their sale on the open market would lessen possibil-ities "of airplane manufacturing, does not hold, for the reason that airplanes for commercial purposes will be constructed along radically different lines from the types now used for training aviators. "The fact that there are more than 10,000 liberty motors in this country greatly will facilitate the work, and do away with the chief obstacle in airplane manufacturing the construction a engine. There will be great development of the airplane along commercial lines, of a type in which little experimenting has been done as yet. The low speed, heavy lifting airplane, capable of long sustained flights, in my opinion, is the type which will be developed for trade purposes. 1 "The fact that commercial aero traffic for passengers, mail and express is now approaching culmination opens up a large field for the manufacture of airplanes and their accessories.

Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Denver and other cities, which never have been prominent in the airplane industry, are purchasing flying and are getting ready-to receive mail by air and to boom the aviation industry in general."

All who are interested in St. Louis obtaining the right to annex parts of the county are invited to go to Jefferson City with a delegation ft seventy-five civic workers and help the enabling act, which comes up for hearing before the state lawmakers, next Wednesday. The official delegates were appointed at a meeting of the "Greater St. Louis" conference at the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday. Two hundred representatives of va-tious civic organizations of the city were at the meeting.

Thomas D. Cannon of Kenwood Springs, told the civic representatives that his section of the county favors the annexation plan. A delegation of five business men of Wellston was elso at the meeting, and it is expected that in the St. lxuis delega i i women, he desired to suggest that women be specially mentioned so as to avoid any possible misrepresentation. There was no general discussion of the amendment but nods and expressions of approval which ran about the table clearly indicated unanimous consent' and the amendment was speedily written.

Sy Other Covenant Changes. The form of the covenant was changed somewhat in that provisions for special conventions, such as labor, commerce and traffic in arms, drugs and opium are placed in one article. Conventions which have Just been completed, Including provision for an international labor constitution, roust be ratified separately from the covenant. Several changes were made in the wording, including elimination of su. perfluous phrases for the purpose of clarification.

Whether the first treaty will? be with Germany and Austria or all four enemy powers, probably will depend upon developments in the "big four" conferences. The French have added their disapproval to that of the British to the quadruple treaty idea. Both the French and British say- it might be possible to include Austria in the first treaty without losing time, but that inclusion of Bulgaria and Turkey would mean additional delay. The reparations committee is understood to haev made the best progress durinr ne past week of any reriod since It was organized.
