centuries of blood-letting, Senator
Knox, Republican member of the for

asserted, "the treaty imposed on Ger
many, penalties which violate inter-

He declared there was no reason why
the United States should project itself
into the dangers Of such situation.
"The more I consider this treaty"
he said, "the more / am convinced
that the only safe way for us to deal
with 1t, Is to decline to be party to
1t at all. I think we could renounce
in favor of Germany any and all

'LIberty Whiskey' Works
Wonders; Man Thinks He's Cat

'Tiberty whiskey," the kind made
at home with wood alcohol and fur
niture polish is believed to have been
responsible for the metamorphosls of
one John Mehaskey 46 years old a la
borer of 314 Leon street. Mehaskey
thought he was cat this morning
and all the efforts of the combined
police and fire departments failed to
bring him down from the tree into
which he had climbed when frighten-
ed by a pet fox terrier.
It was Just as Mehaskey was pre-
pairing for little nap to help wear
off the evil effects of the Liberty"
drink that he became obsessed with
the idea that he was cat. MEOW"
and "purr-rr-rr" he kept saying to
the establishment of his wife and the
delight of the small boys of the
neighborhood. And then the neigh
boris nice little fox terrier camo
along, and to show that he was a
real cat with claws an everything
Mehaskey bumped UP his back,
growled and almost spit and made
for the nearest tree. Up he went
until he was safely out Of reach in
the branches.
BY this time Mrs. Mehaskey had
become thoroughly alarmed and she
consequently called for the police.
Detective Sergeant Lawrence A. Long
responded and vouches for the main
facts OF the story.
The deluded man continued to cry
and meow like a heartbroken noun
tain lion and would have won the
hearts of all of the women of tho
neighborhood II distressing "hic.
hic" had not interrupted his feline
song.
A crowd of children soon collected
and mothers of the neighborhood
came out to assist in coaxing him
down. He was offered milk in sau-
GERS and called Mice pussy, Come
kitty, kitty, kitty" They all called
but he remained obdurate.
The successful contestant In the eff
forts to seduce him from the tree was
a small boy who had some live mice
at home in a cage. Running to his
cage tehs boy took out one of the
mice, held it by the tail and raised it
up under the tree so that Mr.. Mehas-
KEY could see It. The mewing stop
ped and an eager look came into the
mans eyes as he started to come
down after the mouse. AS soon as
he had come down within reach OF
the crowd he was seized and taken
into his house where he was placed
under observation, strapped to his
bed.
