 ficatiOn

Washington. August 12.-While war were discussed all day by the United States Senate behind closed doors. Twcn- ty special treaties with foreign nations, recommended for ratification by the for eign relations committee. were under con. sideraton and Secretary Of State Bryan remained at the capitol for consultatioa with the senators while the debate pro. gressed.

 Secretary Bryan, who negotiated the pacts at the direction of President Will son. explained them to many senators, who professed ignorance as to their cf- feet. Late in the day Robert Lansing, counsellor of the state department was sent for consultation on phases of inter- national law involved.

Washington, August 12.-How to raise something like s1oo. 900 to off set the loss to the United States in import duties to result from the war conference tomorrow between Secre- tary McAdoo and Representative Un- derwood, chairman of the House ways and means committee.
 Treasury experts tonight completed a statement showing imports from the war zone. They did not hazard an estimate of probable loss in revenues, though informally, it was admitted that the total might be nearly s1oO 900, 900 for the year. Figures also have been prepared to demonstrate what might be raised by increased taxes on liquors and tobacco and by adding to the in- come tax

PRESIDENT BACK
 AT WASHINGTON Returns to Capital From Rome and Will Plunge
 Into Work

Washington August 12.=President Wilson returned to Washington at 6 o'clock today from his journey to Rome, Ga, to bury Mrs. Wilson. With him came Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo, MT and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, Miss Mar garet Wilson. Prof. stockton Axson. Mrs. Wilson's brother, and other rel atives
 The trip from Rome was uneventful. On the advice of Dr. Grayson, his phy- sician, the President spent most of the time on the observation platform of his car to get the breeze. Few people were at the stations to see the special go through.
 At a place in Virginia gang of section hands working on the railroad ran beside the Presidents car while the train was going slowly and he reached out of the window and shook hands with them.
 The President appeared to have been aged by sorrow and strain he has un- dergone and his few words indicated that he was thinking constantly of Mrs. Wilson. The trip to Rome recalled vividly to him the days of his youth
 Tomorrow the President plans to plunge to work and assume active command again of the work of help ing Americans stranded in Europe and of bringing about better business con ditions in the United States. He will see the members of the federal reserve board, a delegation of-the representa- tives of the shipping interests and sev- eral business men.

Members Assessed $l Annually Which
 Will Go to Fund for Erection of Temple

Selma August Special "A res olution assessing each member of the negro Knights of Pythias s1 per year was passed by the grand lodge here today. which means the collection of practically $10,000 annually to be ap- piled to fund for the erection of Pythian temple in this state.

The same was true of the Georgians whom, he stated. owned. besides s42.000 in the endowment treasury, an $S0,0O0 temple in Macon.
 Grand Master Hutto detailed the plan by which the order in Georgia erected It's building. The resolution passed unanimously gives positive indorse ment to the efforts of Grand Chancel Tor R. A.
