teams as Carlisle, Brown ad Dart

The Second Lot.
THERE is A GREAT DEMAND

Members of local women's clubs
to sell holiday stamps of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross society are
more than pleased with the reception
of the first consignment of stamps re-
ceived here. This consignment con-
sisted of 1900 stamps, sold at one
cent each. No sooner had they arriv-
ed than Mrs. n. c. Heironimus, presi.
dent of the Aftermath society, which
is promoting the movement in this
city, disposed of them to members OF
her society and members of the Dor
cas- and Magazine clubs. These club
members will use some of the stamps
for their personal use in placing them
on Christmas packages and the re-
mainder will be sold to merchants
and the general public
Another large consignment of
stamps has been ordered from the
state. headquarters of the Red Cross
society, at Indianapolis. and il is pro-
bable that when they arrive they will
be offered for sale TO the merchants
and to the public. In disposing of
them to the public places of sale will
be established in stores and other pub
lie places and at baZaars held by var
ious church societies throughout the
holiday season. Ii is thought that co.
900 stamps could easily be dispoEed
of in this city.
The holiday stamp movement of the
Red Cross society is to secure funds
for the purpose of fighting the great
white plague, tuberculosis.

SENATE IN THE WAY
Treaty Between Japanese and
America Would Not Be-
come Effective.
VIOLATES PREVIOUS POLICY

Washington. d. c.. Nov 2S.-Further
discussion of the Japanese agreement
tonight, indicates that if it were sign
ed by Root and Takahira and became
a formal treaty, it would be rejected
by the senate because it would subvert
traditional United States policy of no
alliances with foreign nations. The
agreement or notes of agreement with
Japan, are entirely an different thing
from the agreements of the United
States with all European nations of
the first class to respect the integrity
of China as set forth in the elaborated
John Hay circular note for the open
door. If the senate should ratify the
agreement, some of the diplomats here
say that the result would be an actual
triple alliance, composed of the Unit
ed States, Japan and Great Britain.
