HIGHER PRICES FOR SUGAR
AFTER JANUARY FIRST.

After the Sugar Equalization
Board is dissolved on Dec. 81, the
Government will, it is said, make
no further attempt to control the
distribution and sale Of sugar.
Attorney General Palmer ex-
planned in this connection that, as
no funds have been provided by
Congress for carrying on this
work, the Department Of Justice
will confne it's activities IN the
matter to efforts to punish protl-
teers.
In view Of this statement by
Mr.. Palmer it is expected that.

Many physicians believe that
anyone who has a bad cold should
be completely isolated to prevent
other members Of the family and
associates from contracting the
disease, as colds are about as
catching as measles. One thing

of a cold the less the danger. and

pected To Be Basis of

BERLIN, June % (By The As
sociated Press) The German Ma
tional Assembly this afternoon by
a vote of 237 to 1873 to author
lied the new Cabinet to Sign the
peace treaty, with certain reserva-
tions. The Assembly also voted
confidence in the new government
Of Herr Bauer, 236 to 80. Sixty
eight members abstained from
voting.
On the question Of signing the
treaty, five members of the Assem-
bly, abstained from voting.
Before the vote of confidence was
taken Herr Bauer, the new Premier,
declared the government would sign
the treaty, but without acknowledge
ing the responsibility of the Ger
man people for the war ard with
out accepting the obligations con-
tained in Articles 227 to 23O in the
treaty relating to the trial of the
former Emperor and the extradition
of other German personages.
Bauer to Indicate Rerly
"Germania," in it's issue of to-
day, said Foreign Minister Mueller
would communicate at to-day's ses-
sion of the Assembly the text of a
note which, on approval by the AS
sembly, would be dispatched to the
peace congress heads. The note.
according to "Germania," would de-
cline to accept Article 231 of the
peace treaty, dealing with Ger
many's responsibility for the war,
and Articles 227 to 23O, dealing
with the penalties.
Further, the note would affirm
that President Wilson's fourteen
points had not been applied in the
peace treaty, and express regret
that oral negotiations had been re-
fused the Germans.
Surrender Due to Force"
1t would also, according to the
newspaper, emphasize the inalien-
able right of every nation, even
Germany, to live, and say that Ger
many could not assent to the peace
treaty from her inner conviction.
because it contained conditions i'm
possible of fulfilment and unbear-
able. Therefore Germany would
not sign voluntarily, but would only
yield to fLrce.
The note, the paper says, would
add that since the economic and
financial terms exceed the limit OF
Germany's capacity to meet them,
Germany would be unable to ac-
cept the responsibility for their exc.
cution.

Senator Lodge Announces
That Appropriation Bills
Must Be Passed Through
Congress Before July l
Root Treaty Plan Favored
Senator Smoot Says Repub-
licansDemandE Elimination
of Article X From Pact

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Concen
tration of the Republicans behind tn
plan advocated yesterday by ex-Sen
ator Elihu Root-to ratify the peac
treaty with reservations safeguarding
Americas interests-was indicate,
very generally here tonight.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Republica,
leader in the Senate, issued state
ment after conference with Senate,
Knox, definitely abandoning the fgh
tion. He gives as his reasons the
necessity Of devoting every minute O
available time to the appropriation
measures, which should be passed be
fore the end of the fiscal year, June 80
Democrats assert. however, that will
his colleagues Senator Lodge has com,
to the conclusion that it is useless tt
fight longer to obtain an expression
from the Senate at this time so far al
any effect on the Paris conference il
concerned.
Lodges Statement
Following is Senator Lodges state
ment:
II am very strongly in favor of
the Knox resolution. l think the
league and peace with Germany
ought not to be interlocked. We
ought to be able to ratify the peace
with Germany at once, and then give
the proper discussion to the cove
nant Of the league of nations, which
involves the entire future of the
country.
IL should like to bring the Knox
+o 81 k,,k ~fA
consultation with Senator Knox this
afternoon I have come to the con-
clusion that in the present situation
of the appropriation bills, and es-
pecially the army bill, now before
the Senate, we ought not. to press the
Knox resolution at this moment, be-
cause it will lead to debate, and moth
ing should be- allowed to interfere
with the passage of the appropria-
tion bills before July 1. We propose
to pass them before that date and
shall sit night and day, if necessary,
to do it.
Willing for Postponement
"I am more willing to accept this
postponement because the resolution
is growing stronger daily and the
absolute necessity of amending the
league, if it is to be made safe for
the United States and for the cause
of peace, has just been freshly
demonstrated in Senator Roots let
ter with extraordinary force"
Senator Smoot, of Utah, declared that
the Republicans generally accepted the
suggestion Of former Senator Root.
~ approve Of the programme of ac-
tion outlined in the Root letter and
have reason to believe it is likewise ap.
proved by almost all other Republi.
cans" Senator Smoot said. ~ do not
see. how the President could oppose
such reservations as the Monroe Doc
trine, and unless American obligation
under Article x is set aside l do not
believe the treaty will receive the sup.
port requisite for ratification"
Expected 1t, Says Hitchcock
~ am not at all surprised" said Mr.
Hitchcock, "at the disastrous failure
of the Knox resolution. 1t has disap.
pointed it's friends and divided the Re.
publican party"
