PRESS COMMENT.
HIRTFUL TO IT'S PRESTIGE.

No one can mingie with men of affairs,
these days. or get reports of what Is SAID In
banks and the exchanges without becom-
ing aware Of Il sharpening criticism oi
the Republican majority IN Congress
This is, no doubt, due in part TO the
general tendency OF mortal men to hold
the government responsible for all the
ills of life But in the present instance
details are not wanting. First, there IS
the Treaty blocked, aud uncertainty leit
hanging over International commerce
and finance. Now, uncertainty Is the
great bane of all those who have to make
trade calculations. For them bad
condition, securely 10 be reckoncd upon,
is better than n hope Of better things
which remains only a contingent hope
A grayer reproach Is based upon the
inaction of the Republican Congress in
the matter of the railroads After all the
brave promises Of last May. nothing has
been done It is now regarded as physi-
callv impossible to pass before January
first bill for the return of the roads To
their owners, with suitable guarantees
and wise regulation What wonder, even
Republican business men are asking, that
railroad securities are depressed and that
neither the public nor the railway mana

feeling is peculiarly hurtful To Republican

said President Wilson had put his name to an agreement which betrayed an ally and friend and kept from the Chinese "that which was his and of which he had been robbed with an equal hypoc- risy and violence"
 "The government of the United States, continued Senator Mccormick, wishes to assent to the wrong done China in Shantung- upon the verbal assurance of Baron MalSino (the Japanese foreign min isteT) that presently the wrong will be undone. Ostriohlille, our government had declined to recognize that the promises of the great Asiatic military power con fronting our Pacific coast are to be meas ured by her performances in the past
 by that measurement the promises are worthless. For thirty-fve years Japan csc foreign policy in Asia has been one Of consistent perfidy and aggression If anyone doubt this let him review his own memory of Japan's relations with China and Korea. her secret and now discovered violation of the pledges ex- changed with the government of the United States"

WAITING FOR GOMpERS

In the absence of MT. Ciompers, who is returning from Europe, MT. Foster in- timated that other members of the con- ference committee might proceed to ar range for the meeting with representa- tives of the steel corporation. He said, however. that Mir. Gompers is expected to arrive within day or so in which case MT. Gompers may conduct the over lures himself,
 E. IT. Gary. chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, prob ably will be first approached on the sub- iect of a conference to take up the twelve basic demands of the unions, MT. Foster irtimated.
 The conference committee. Mir Foster sta ted. is to hold another meeting within a few days when the method of ap- proaching the steel corporation will be determined The date and place of this meeting was not announced.
 Whether the conference committee vii call a strike at the end of ten days in las been arranged but has failed to agree upon the demands made by the unions, Mir Foster said he could not state.
 That would be a new situation and the course of action would have to be decided after the situation appears he said.
 Decision to attempt to arrange the meeting was arrived at late this after noon and superseded the contemplated calling of a strike forthwith in case the strike vote favored a wallzout. No an nouncement was made by officials as to why the decision for conference was decided upon in preference to calling the strike forthwith.

taking with the United States contin- ued Senator Mccormick, and, in delib- crate, secret violation of her other in ternational engagements. sought to re- duce China to the state of vassalage in which Britain holds Egypt and into which she is drawing Persia.
 During the year 1900 the outraged Chinese made futile resistance against aggression in the Boxer uprising. That uprising, that siege, are ominous of the years to come. when either the 4oo,0o0,00 Chinese, once subjected to Japan, may he marshalled against the republic which betrayed them, or, resisting subiugation, may rise to join the Koreans to drive the invaders from the eastern shores of continental Asia.
 Then under the terrible tenth article of the covenant of the league we shall be bound in honor to levy our legions to send forth our young men by the million, in defense of the Japanese do- minions on the further shores of the Yellow sea-
 The covenant and the treaty which we are asked to approve guarantees the territorial acquisitions of the three prin- cipal powers holding dominion over sub feet peoples-Britain, Japan and France.
 q do not decry the service to civiliza- ton of the British empire. It has brought peace to millions. But that has been a policeman's peace.
 What is true of the British is true of the French and the Japanese dominions over subject peoples"

RESERVATION RESOLUTION

Washington, August 2o.A separate resolution expressing reservations to the peace treaty was introduced in the Sen ate today by Senator Owen. democrat, Oklahoma. who has been an advocate Of unreserved ratification.
 The reservations would cover the same general ground as those included in the Pittman resolution.
 The preamble of Senator owens resolu- ton declares that the Senate, in rati- flying the treaty of peace with Germany has done so with the understanding that the meaning and purpose of this instru- ment is as follows:''
 Eight reservations then are expressed. covering domestic questions, the right of Congress to decide questions of peace Or war, an unconditional right of with drawal, the Monroe doctrine. the under standing that Japan will withdraw speed fly from Shantung, rapid deduction of armaments, just treatment of subject na- tionalities and stipulation that the league shall interfere in internal revolu- ton or boundaries only in exceptional circumstances.

Fine for Skin Exposed
 to Sun or Flying Dirt

These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun are severe on any skin. Theil despoiling effects arc best overcome by the application of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in cleanly condition the complexion beautifully white and spot less. Rcddened. tanned. freckled and rough. cned cuticle arc actually absorbed by it One ounce of mcrcolized wax, obtainable al any drug store. is sufficient to completely rcnoyatc soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream. allowed to remain on over night and washed off in the morning
 It is simply splendid for after a motor trip, an afternoon at the tennis court' or on the golf links
