more senator's and hands went up in

part of the senate chamber When
the vote was had on the tent loaning
resolution all democrats and all repub-
licans except Mr.. Hepburn voted for
it.
The resolution was reached in it's
regular order. Mr.. Hepburn was
prompt to raise an objection, and Mr..
Bankhead just as alert in moving the
consideration regardless of the obiec-
ton. 1t Immediately was evident that
the objection had aroused some feel
ing, for with flushed face tand ami
mated voice, Mr.. Bailey. who sat near
aBnkhead, declared that if the resolu-
ton was ruled out of order no other
business could be transacted.
The Bankhead motion being unde-
batable, the senate immediately pro-
ceeded to an aye and no vote on the
question as to whether the resolution
should be taken up This was decided
in the affirmative unanimously, Mr.
Heyburn not voting.

Senator From Idaho Oppos

Veterans Any Tents

WASHINGTON, Feb. Protesting
against loaning government tents for
the use Of the confederate veterans at
their annual encampment at Mobile,
Ala, next April, Senator Hepburn of
Idaho in the senate today made the
sharpest comment upon the issues of
the civil war that has been heard in
congress il 20 years.
He inveighed against men in rebel
uniforms being permitted to occupy
government property or the rebel
flag being allowed to fly above it. Fin
ally he drifted into the question of
honoring men by placing their statues
in the hall of fame and by unmistak-
able inference condemned the action
of Virginia in sending the statue OF
General Robert f. Lee to Washington
Take it away and worship it if
you please he, Numbered, but do not
intrude it upon the people who do not
want it,
Democratic senators moved uneas-
lily about the floor, conversing with

But what makes the situation less
gloomy in France than 1t would ap-
pear to be at first sight is the fact
that the partial failure of the grape

is produced the deficit is proportion

The low temperature and frequent
rains of the summer delayed the
growth of the vines and stunted the
development OF the grapes. II was
hoped that in the early autumn the
grapes would gain rapidly in size, but
the weather has continued to be for
the most part unreasonable There

rains.

No alarm about the future of the

this temporary failure has been mani
