RESENTS CRITICISM
OF WILSON NOTE
Mr.. Pittman Attacks Mr..
Lodge for Opposition to
War Policy of U. S.
CITES HARMFUL EFFECTS

f! Spirited debate on President Will
sons response to the German peace
offer began today when the Senate re-
convened after recess since Monday.
Senator Pittman of Nevada opened
the discussion by attacking Senator
; Lodge of Massachusetts,, the repub-
! lican leader. declaring Senator
Lodges published statement critics.
ing the Presidents note could serve
no good purpose.
Senator Pittman read into the rec
ord Senator Lodges statement criti-
cising the note and declared that the
minority leader has miSconstrued the
notes meaning. Such criticism he de-
clared. would tend to destroy the con-
fdence of the world in the President
OF the United States.
Possible Effect Is Cited.
The construction given by the
senator from Massachusetts" said
Senator Pittman, cannot possibly
serve any good public purpose. but,
OF the contrary. may lead the Gerrna n
people. and even some of our citizens
who are not familiar with the facts.
to believe that the President Of the
United States has receded from the
position taken by him in his message
to Congress on January 8. in his
speech delivered in New York, and
that he is now unduly anxious to en-
ter into peace negotiations with the
imperial German government.
The establishm of such a con-
viction in the minds of the German
people and many of the citizens of
the United States would deaden the
enthusiasm and zeal of our people at
home; would be detrimental to the
spirit and vigor of our own armies
and the armies of our allies in the
field, and would tend to destroy the
confidence of the world in the Presi-
dent of ne United States. whose high
est service is essential to a lasting
and just peace.
The President did not enter into
4 discussion with the imperial Ger
man government He expressly stated
that he would not make reply until
the note was made more definite in
certain particulars. He further point
eddy asked whether the imperial Ger
man government was ready to accept
his terms for a lasting and just peace
and proceed Immediately to carry
will be won as fully and completely
as it is possible to win it. If the an
sWer is in the negative or equivocal.
then the reply of the President will
undoubtedly be only repetition of a
reference to the demands he has here
tofore made.

Survey Parties Needed by Con-
struction Division of The Army.

Washington. D. c., October, 81, 1918.
The Construction Division of the Armv
is without doubt the most extensive
organization Of it's kind in the history
OF the world. The approximate value
OF construction projects undertaken
by this branch of the Government
since the United States entered the
war is one billion dollars The figures
representing the material used and the
men employed are staggering 250,O0O
Workmen have been under the con-
troll of the Division at one time.
Among the Divisions present urgent
needs are so chiefs of survey party at
$1,000 to $4,000 year; so transit men
at $1,000 a year; rs levelmen at ST.
100 year; 125 rodmen at $1,000 a
year, and so topographic craftsmen at
$1,000 a year. These positions are
open to men only except the draft
ing positions, which are open to both
men and women. All of the positions
are in the civil, not the military, serv.
ice.
Persons interested should apply to
the United States Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, D. c., or to the

service examiners at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincin-
natl, Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis, New
Orleans, Seattle or San Francisco.

bled" type; that is, the ratings will
be based upon education, training, ex-
perience and physical ability as shown
by the applications and corrobora-
tive evidence. These positions offer
an excellent opportunity for patriotic
service, and the Civil Service Commits
sion urges qualified persons to apply
without delay.

MAKING WATCH TELL TRUTH
Traveller Hits Upon Plan to Make 1t
Unnecessary to Turn His Time
piece Forward or Back.

The average commercial traveller
who Journeys about the United States
has to keep a close watch on his time
piece to see that it is telling the truth.
There is an hours difference in time
when you enter and leave some cities,
and it's an important matter that you
do not forget to set your watch back
or forward an hour, according to which
way you are, travelling. If you over
look it you may miss train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
he sometimes forgets to change his
watch at Detroit, Mich, for instance,
or at Dodge City, a., has frequently
had an experience of this kind. Some
times he has arrived an hour ahead Of
time, or perhaps an hour after q train
has left, giving him time enough for
reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea Of
making his watch tell all four diff
ferent times-Eastern, Central, Noun
tain and Pacific. He went to jeweler
and had extra hour hands put on his
timepiece-each of a different color,
SO that he can recognize it at glance,
on the face of his watch. For in
stance, the ordinary hour-hand, set
at Eastern time, is silver; blue hand,
set an hour back, represents Central
time; a red hand, for Mountain time,
Is set two hours back, and a green
hour-hand three hours back, represents
Pacific time.
You can do this to your own watch
The jeweler will make a set Of hands
of these colors and alter your watch
for q consideration Of a few dollars.

Going Dry.
This land Of ours is going dry, the

and soon the man who wants old rye
will have to swim to foreign shores.
John BarleycOrn has met his fate, he's
being pushed clear off the map; and
we must learn to celebrate with spark
ling water from the tap. There is no
ginmill in the vale, there are no gin
mills on the hills; dry people call for
Adams ale, and fill themselves with
baObling rills. The workman buys a
house and lot with money that he
used to blow for trimming bowls of
sifquor rot, that filled his head and soul
with woe. Tired father laps up spark

the blues; and then he buys a U. S.
bond, which is better thing than
booze. The war has killed the Demon
Rum, has been a boar and deadly
frost; and men will say, in years to
come, the war was worth whate'er it
cost. The ginmill shuts It's latticed
doors, the red-nosed patrons don't
crowd in; the jeweled barkeeper no
more pours rain water in the key of
gin. The thirsty man thinks not of
beer, but to the nearest hydrant
tramps and quaffs fagon bright and
clear, then buys himself war savings
stamps.
From now on it is to be a JOY ride
with sober autoists until the Great
Autocrat surrenders at Berlin.
Now it is dry tanks that cast con-
sternation into the hereditary defend
ers of beer. In the future no citizen
