What President Wants.

Senators declare their belief that
this is what the President wants and
is intent upon accomplishing. They
think he is convinced that once the
issue is drawn of rejecting or ratify-
ing the treaty, he will win, as he be-
lieves the pressure of public opinion
would be so great that the Senate
could not withstand it. The admins
tration program is understood to be
TO vote down, if possible, all proposals
for reservation. and bring the Sem
ate to the scratch of rejecting the
treaty or accepting it.
The plan of the other side is to at
tach the reservations with the vote
they now estimate they have, a ma
jority of two to three. and then stand
pat on the declara ton to the President
that he can have his league of nations
if he accepts the reservations and
can not have if he doesn't. The PreSi-
dent, they claim, would then be in
the attitude of "filibustering" against
ratification. and not the Senate; and
senators believe that he would in the
end be persuaded by democratic ad-
visers to consent to the demands Of
a large proportion of the Senate.
Everything depends. of course, upon
whether the republicans will be able
to hold their present strength of fifty
one to fifty-two votes for reservations
against the Establishments of the ex-
ecutive. He has a very winning way
with him. it is acknowledged, and
Presidents have many arguments to
Sersent when their heart is set upon
carrying their point in Congress. He
has only to win over fewer than can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Overshadows Committee.

The activity Of the President along
the line he has chosen to follow has
for the present almost completely
overshadowed what is going on in the
foreign relations committee of the
Senate in regard to the treaty.
Note was made of the fact that of
the republican senators invited to
see the President today only one. Nc
Climber. is member of the foreign
rHations committee. Senators gen
e#lly arrived at the conclusion that
tHe Presidents plan is to talk first
II those republicans who are favor
My disposed toward the treaty in
in present form and through them
Ike the approach to those republic
cHh senators who are standing hard
AND fast in favor of reservations or
Vito are out to kill the treaty through
tHe process of amending it to death.
fhe White House was unwilling to-
dHE to furnish the names of the re-
publican senators that are to be asked
t&see the President tomorrow, though
tHe statement was made that there

Attitude Is Problematical.

Whether. in case the President sue
ceeds in beating down all efforts to at
tach reservations. sufficient number
of rock-ribbed opponents will hold
, out to prevent the obtaining Of two
thirds vote is quite problematical.
, The 'vould-be amenders insist that
enough senators will stay put" in the
opposition which they Assumed when
they signed the famous round robin
~ prevent ratification. 1t is claimed
that many senator's who signed that
document have since. become more
confirmed than ever. in their convic-
ton that the covenant must be
amended.
. II is set down as a fact that the
President did not win any converts
TO his cause by the address he made to
the Senate upon his return. It is also
evident that the Shantung disclosures
are serving to create a bad impress
sion. which reacts against the whole
treaty. Senators say that it is devolv-
ent upon the President to put forth
more convincing arguments than have
thus far been presented to shake the
confirmed belief of the great mass of
the opposition to the present form of
the league.

n Europe that the league covenant
would not prevent future conflicts.
Senator Hitchcock, however, comes
TO the presidents rescue with the old
German propaganda" bugaboo. IF
the United States refused to ratify the
pact" he said Germany might inter
pref that action as the serving OF no
tice that we would not go to the aid OF
France in case of an attack, and she
might govern her attitude according
ly."
AS the senator, who is the leader IN
the senate of President Wilson's t1ght
to ratify the peace treaty and the
covenant as they are, argued recently
that the league would not accomplish
much and therefore is a good thing,
so he now says that while the triple
alliance between Great Britain, the
| United States and France is not un-
| constitutional, still it will not be bind
ing upon any future congress and
therefore should be ratified. III
would" he said, "be for any future
congress to determine whether the
attack upon France was provoked OF

Of many senators who are taking part

Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska,
formerly the Democratic chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations,
was so shocked when he heard the

vote for it because the negotiations

"The Scarlet Drop"

Harry Carey, the Universal star,
has registered another triumph in he
role of "Kaintuck" Cass, a regular
hillbilly of the backwoods of the state
noted for it's blue grass and its beau
tiful women. In essaying the role of
"Kaintuck," Carey declared that he
thought it impossible to have a man
of innate refinement vizualize an I'M
educated ignoramus. That is just
what the original "Kaintuck" is. Be
cause Carey felt he had to accomplish
the impossible he worked harder in
this picture than any of his previous
productions. And he won. He has
made THE Scarlet Drop" his most hui
man picture to date.
The picture will open at the Audi
forum theater on Sunday.

U. s. GRAIN CORPORATION
WILL PROTECT PRODUCERS

To settle the long standing dispute
between farmers and grain buyers as
to a proper price basis for wheat, the
United States grain corporation has
entered into a contract with buyers
whereby the latter agree to reflect
properly to producers the govern
ment's guaranteed price for various
grades of wheat" announced Chester
Greene, manager of the Oneida eleva-
tor, today.
This contract, which places the gov
eminent in the position OF standing
behind producers to see they obtain a
proper price for their wheat. provides
that in case of disagreement either
farmers or buyers are privileged tC
submit a sample of the wheat in dis
pute to the nearest zone v~ice-presi-
dent of the grain corporation for
review of the method of determining
the price.
It also is provided appeal for fina
decision may be taken to Julius II
Barnes, wheat director, although tn,
grain corporation urges buyers an
sellers to reach a mutual agreemen
wherever possible. The contrac
specifies that millers and dealer
shall purchase on the proper grad
and dockage under the federal stand
ards, and shall pay therefor not les
than the guaranteed price based o.
such proper grade and dockage at tn
terminal most advantageously reach
ed, less freight and less a r~easonabl
handling margin"

WHY GO TO CHURCH,

Why do so many not attend church!
The answer OF many Is, / don't De
long. | am not religious, with many
others there Is nothing In religion.
Men all through the ages rave CON
founded the great scheme OF saliva
ton and christianity with %reliion, and
few stop TO consider the difference be-
tween religion and the great plan and
purpose OF the Christ. And men have
ever been busy forming creeds and
religions and following after them,
each contending they we're right, and
all the rest more or less wron. l
can remember in my boyhood days
when different denominations quarrel
ed with each other, each ~contending
they we're right, when in fact none
were right, in spirit. or they would
not have quarreled. for when we have
the true spirit OF the master we a
behold the beam In our own eye, more
Clearly than the mate In the brothers
eye. Christ never said anything
about religion, but he did say, Il came
that ye might have life and have II
more ~abundantly." which implies that
without Him we have not life, nor do
we understand the true mission and
purpose. Not having this man seeks
10 satisfy himself with other things,
hence the great demand for enter
tainment and amusement. And we
have come to the day where we find
the places OF amusement full and the
houses of worship comparatively emp.
~. And the tendency towards sucf
conditions Is on the increase, and tho
popular demand for amusement sc
great that six days in the week VII
not satisfy but the Sabbath must b.
used as well. Such was the trent
and condition of things with the peo
pies OF the old nations that have per

or all the arts and sciences in the
world, life is the most interesting.
and the greatest. And the very rea-
son we are In such uncertain and
troublesome conditions as we are at
the present Is because men do not
know how 10 live, and have not come
to an understanding Of the great mis-
sion and purpose of life. The great
principles of life as taught by Jesus
Christ are the most wonderful and
interesting themes the mind Of man
can entertain. And why should we
confound 1t with petty creeds and
religions? John said, HE was that
light and that light was the life Of
men" Hence we go to church seek
ing that light which comes through
the word OF God, and a word is an En-
preston Of a thought, and God said
his thought is as high above mems
thought as the heavens above the
earth. SO we go, seeking a know
ledge of this higher thought which
is expressed through His word. And
as a word Is the expression OF q
thought, and thought the fruit of a
mind, so we also go to feed up on
this fruit, zorne to us by the tire" OF
life which is Christ. Religions or re.
ligious piety will not take the place oI

auction of Souls"

Auction of Souls" to be presented
at the Auditorium Sunday night is a
record of. fact. 1t pictures the story
of Aurora Mardiganian, sole survivor
of 500, 900 young Armenian girls who
were killed during the period of ter
ror created by the Turks in 1915 when
it was decided to deport the Armen-
ians and annihilate them as a nation. .
The picture is based upon Miss
Mardiganian's own story of her amaz-
ing escape after two years of terrors.
Every accusation of barbarism she
charges against the Turks is officially
verified by Viscount James bryce,
former British ambassador to the
United States, who headed a commits
sion which was sent into Armenia to
report the facts, and by Henry Nor
genthau, American ambassador to
Turkey in 1915.
While the interest centers around
the experiences of the sole surviving
Armenian girl, international charac-
tiers are figures. One of the pictured
events shows a meeting between the
Sultan of Turkey, a weak old man,
Enver Pasha, who later became the
cruel military dictator, the German
ambassador, and Henry Morgenthau,
the American ambassador. At this
meeting Mr.. Morgenthau made a last
val nplea for the Armenians.
There follow the actual scenes show
ing the posting of the deportation
edict, the burning of the homes of
Armenians, slaughter of men in the
streets, the forming of the long lines
of men and m to be driven
across the desert, attacks upon girls,
and finally the terrible cruelties which
were inflicted by the wild tribes who
captured and enslaved the women
who had managed to escape from the
prisoners train.
"The Partisan Tigress."
Viola Dana, the clever and fascin-
ating little Metro star, will be the at
traction at the Auditorium, Saturday,
August 3, in an original play entitled
THE Partisan Tigress."
The story is that of a young girl
of noble birth, left in babyhood in
the care of strangers, who grows up
in the clums of Paris into a void and
untamed child of the gutter, dane
ing for a living in the cafes of the
Latin quarter. Her dancing partner
is a young Apache of whom she lives
in constant fear.
Adventure comes to the girl when
an aristocratic though impoverished
artist finds her and conceives the
idea of havin CHER impersonate the
long lost daughter of his wealthy
friend so that he car reap a rich re-
ward.
How romance comes to her when
the mystery of her birth is cleared
and she again enters the sphere OF
life to which she was born, is clever
ly and entertainingly told in a man
ner which brings both laughter anc
tears.
A picked cast of distinguished play
ers are seen in support of Miss Dana
among whom are Darrell Foss, Hen
ry Kolker, Edward Connolly, Clarissf
Selwynne, Louis barclay, Paul Weig
ell, Mitzi Goodstadt and Maree Beaudet
The play was directed by Herber
Blacle.
