Washington Changes in the treaty
with Colombia by which the United
States would gain several important
military points in the vicinity of the
Panama canal for a $25 100000 pay
ment are under consideration by the
state department, in the hope that
enough republican votes will be gained
in the senate to secure ratification.
The old treaty, withdrawn at the spe-
cial senate session when it became
apparent it could not be ratified,
merely provided payment of indemnity
by the United States and a. mutual ex-
preston of regret for ill-feeling over
the partition of Panama.
The new treaty is expected to omit
the expression of regret but to pro
vide for cession by Colombia Of the
plains of st. Andrews and New Provi-
dence, off the Panama coast and of
the Atrato river canal route. The
islands are looked upon as of stragetic

what the preparation is for, except to
put our national strength in a state of
efficiency.
Everybody realizes that this is a
sort of unnatural situation. We are
making preparations and buying sup
plies and all that sort of thing, and yet
the policy of the country is still to be
determined by the legislative body and
just what will happen is to be deter
mined by the president and congress.
"All that you can say of the war de-
partment is that it is pressing ahead
all purchases of everything that will
be needed to keep an army, if the
army is to be called upon"

Somme and Disc rivers in France.
The west bank Of the Disc, from
La Fere northward to Vendeuil. about
four miles, has been occupied by

raiding and bombing attacks.
There has been considerable fight
ing in the air. Berlin records the

driven down and admits four British
machines are missing. Bombs have
