CONNERTxD SAVINGS STAMPS.

A San Francisco newsletter received on the last mail says that the war loan organiza- tion of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District has just been advised that hereafter War Savings Stamps may be converted into Sav- ings Certificates of SlOO and S1 ,OOO denomi- nations, according to a new plan of the Sav- ings Division of the L. $. Treasury depart ment, to afford greater convenience in hand ling War Savings securities.
 The development of the War Savings idea is one that has been urged for some time in order to attract larger investments. The holder of a sufficient number of Thrift Stamps may now exchange them for a S5 War SaV- ings Stamp, and in turn the holder of twenty of the S5 War Savings Stamps may convert them into a SlOO Savings Certificate, or the holder of 200 of the S5 War Savings Stamps may turn them in for S1 ,OOO Savings Ger tihcate.
 Conversion may be made at all first and second class postoices and at all banks and trust companies that have qualified as agents of the second class The Treasury Savings Certificates are to be issued in registered form and will bear the names of the owners They will yield four percent compounded quarterly, as do the w ar SaV1ngS Stamps. The limit of the individual investment still remains at Sl ,OOO
 The new Treasury Savings Certificates should prove particularly attractive for the investment of the funds of fraternal socc- ties, labor unions, as we'll as civic and reli- gious organizations, because the interest is added to the principal automatically each quarter, the entire amount being payable at

MIR. ROOT TO THE RESCUE.

One of the most appalling political blum ders by great political party in the field of foreign politics since the federalists held their hostile Hartford convention in 1874 at just about the time the treaty of Ghent ended our second war with England, was being signed, has probably been prevented by the direct in tervention of E,lihu Root in the republican leadership in the United States senate.
 The Knox resolution would have encour- aged the Germans to refuse to sign the peace treaty had it been passed by the senate. It was in any case an astonishngly foolish move to bring forward the resolution, backed by the senate foreign relations committee, at such a belated moment when the treaty was in the hands of the enemy for his final consideration and decision.
 The direct personal responsibility of Senator Lodge for the sorry position which his friends and followers now hold in the sen ate with reference to the peace treaty and the League of Nations cannot be ignored He is the official leader of the majority in the senate and he is chairman of the committee on foreign relations He could have prevent ed a favorable report on the Knox resolution, at least he could have delayed action on any lcSOlullOll Ol luc sort ullul d1ter the peace treaty had been signed. He joined Mr. Knox, however, in the movement so ill-timed, SO am- biguous as to its motives and objects and so utterly blind to the desire of the people for peace at the earliest day possible that extraor- dinary efforts have been necessary by party leaders outside of the senate to save the situa- tion.
 To this end Mr. Root, private citizen, went to Washington and in effect took the leadership of the senate temporarily out of MT. Lodges hands. MT. Root has written a letter advising a new course which would ac- cept the peace treaty with the covenant as an accomplished fact, but suggesting that the fight against certain features of the covenant be renewed, when the treaty reaches the sen- ate, in the shape of demand for reserva- tions in the ratifying resolution. To this course the critics of the covenant are now ab- solutely reduced.- Springfield Republican,

STRIKE
 IS CALLED OFF
EI. .ECTRICAL IN ALL CALIFORNIA CITIES RETURN TO THEIR
 JOBS TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-(P- All the telephone operators and cleo trical workers in California cities have now returned to their jobs and will continue their work pending an adjustment of their differences with the companies. The wire control board is to consider the demands of the workers for higher wages and render some decision in the question at a later date.
 Some of the unions voted yesterday to quite the strike but others held out until today. The calling off of the strike was caused directly by an or der issued by the international of ficers of the electrical brotherhood in which it was directed that all en- ployees return to work and await the action of the wire control board. Dur ing the strike the employees declared their fight was more against Burle- son than the individual companies.

ROOT ANSWERS HIMSELF.

The standpat republicans objections to Article X of the League of Nations covenant were recently reduced to writing by Mir. Root, to whom Senator Lodge seems to have sur rendered the intellectual leadership of the opposition while he retains the political reins. In letter written by the former to Senator Lodge the following statements were made:
 We can be of infinitely more value to the peace of the world by keeping out of all selfish and petty quarrels that arise than we can by binding ourselves to take part in them. Just so lar as 1t IS necessary to modify this settled, historic American policy in order to put into effect practical plan for League of Nations we ought to go, and we ought not to go one step further. The step proposed by Article X is not necessary for such plan and we ought not to take it."
 Mir. Root is addicted to writing letters, and frequently does so, turning out some good ones to others besides Senator Lodge. One such was written by him to MT. Will Hays, chairman of the republican national committee in which he answers completely the argu- ment contained in the above quoted extract On March 29 1919, he wrote Mr. Hays re- garding Article X as follows:
 q think that this article must be consid- ered not only with reference to the future but with reference to the present situation in Europe. Indeed the whole agreement ought to be considered in that doublel aspect * * The allied nations, in their council must de- termine the lines of reconstruction Their determination must be enforced. They may make mistakes; doubtless they will; but there

POLICING MEXICO.

It seems more apparent every day that a strong hand is needed for policing Mexico. Some leader, as vet undiscovered, of the NeXi- cans themselves may arise and do the job to the satisfaction of the world and the best ln- tercsts of Mexico, but if none comes 1t may be necessary for outsiders to take a hand in the process of cleaning up
 It is evident that the Carranza govern- ment is not able to cope with the present sit nation, and while the majority of Americans do not desire to interfere in Mexican affairs, it is possible that the United States may have to do so in order to protect itself and its citizens from insult and injury. Renewed rebel activity turnout Mexico reveal the weakness of the Carranza regime and its pOWerIcssness to protect even the citizens Ot its own states over which it has nominal con- trol much less give protection to foreigners in all parts of the country.
 The attack on a small boat of the Ameri- can monitor Cheyenne by Mexican bandits may yet result in the occupation of TampiCO. It was an incident similar to this which led to the American seizure of Vera Cruz several years ago. For months. in fact since 1917 when the United States entered the war against Germany there has been more or less trouble around Tampico which threatened to involve America. This was largely connected with the question of the oil supply originating there and controlled by American and English investors
 Carranza has admitted himself without power to handle the situation in the 1ampico district which is almost entirely controlled by local bandit Chieftains. He has also shown that he is unable to prevent bandit forces from making raids over the interna- tional boundary into American soil There is no present prospect that any other leader will be able to do any better than the present government at Mexico City is doing.
 The present Mexican policy of the Ameri- can government was adopted in the hope that Mexico itself would be able to set it's house in order. This it has failed to do, and not even a start has been made If anything it's affairs are more hOpelessly muddled today than they were four years ago. Current develop ments indicate that this policy is about to undergo a radical change unless Considera- ble improvement is shown in the situation.

Under these conditions the United States cannot quit It must go on with the performance of its tduty, and the immediate aspect of Article \ is an agreement to do that. l think that Article \ should be amended so that it should hold limited time, and thereafter any member may with draw from it. l annex an amendment to that effect"
 The amendment which Mr. Root men tions provided that
 After the expiration of five years fror the signing of this concvant any part may terminate its obligation under this article by giving one years notice in writing to the secretary general of the League
 The covenant as it stands provides that any party may withdraw from the League by giving two years notice, providing that 1t has fulfilled all its obligations. With the excep- ception of the slight change in the time limit this is for practical purposes identical with Nr. Roots amendment. If he had not altered his opinion since March % he would accept Article \. What has led him to alter it; He does not say.

WOOD CAR RESISTS
COLLISION WHILE STEEL
CAR CRUMPLES

Some shadow of doubt was thrown
upon the poasted invulnerability of
the steel railway coach by a recent
accident north of Seattle, Wash, says
the June Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. An electric interurban car of
steel and one of wood, met, head-on,
at high speed. The front end of the
steel car, was utterly demolished, the
crumpled metal injuring a number of
passengers. The forward trucks were
forced back to the center of the car.
The wood car lost its front vestibule,
but few of it's occupants were hurt,
and it resisted the shock so we'll that
it was able to leave the scene on its
own power, while a derrick was need
ed to remove the steel coach.

CONCRETE GRAIN ELEVATOR
SINKS THIRTEEN INCHES

When the heavy bins of concrete
elevator being constructed in Port
land, Ore, reached the height of 85
it., the structure began to sink, rapid
ly at first, then slowly, stopping at a
depth of 13 in, says an illustrated
article in the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Experts were called who
found that the sinking would not
continue; so work recommended. The
structure is now four inches out of
level, however, and the reinforced
concrete betting tunnels had to be
cut to prevent damage to the adjoin-
ing building, which houses the power
plant.

STOCK EXCHANGE IS
BEINGPLANNEDFOR
MAYSv|LLE SOON
Local Business Men Go to Lexington
Tomorrow to Make Plans For the
Establishment Of Oil and Stock
Exchange In Maysville.

The suggestion made some time ago
that there should be a free market
quotation posted in Maysville for the
benefit Of the farmers of the county
and the further development of Mays
vile as an oil center and the home of
some Of the oil companies which op-
crate In the Lewis county fields, has
brought about a movement to estab-
lish in Maysville in the immediate fu-
ture an oil and stock exchange where
stocks in oil companies operating
throughout the Kentucky fields can be
bought and sold in open market and
where listings on live stock, grain,
etc., can be procured daily.
Mayor Thomas M. Russell, Secre-
tary Carl Dodds, Of the. Maysville
Chamber of Commerce, and others in
terested in the establishment of such
an exchange in Maysville, go to Lex
ington Tuesday where they will be in
conference with the operators Of the
Lexington and Paris exchanges and
where they hope to get needed infor-
nation for the establishment of such
an exchange in Maysville in the very
near future.
Nothing would be of greater value
to the farmers Of Mason county than
to have quotations on live stocks and
grain always ready for them should
they telephone to the exchange at any
time during the day and nothing
would boost the oil business through
this section of the country like the es-
tablishment of an open exchange. The
city is now filled with oil men most all
the time and the people of this district
are investing literally in oil stocks.
The establishment Of an exchange
here would be great step toward
making Maysville the oil center it is
said to be destined to be because of
its geographic location.
