DEEP CONCERN
President Has Not Started on
Address to Senate Concern
ing Treaty With France
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, JULY 11.-Presi-
dent Wilson still had before him to-
day appropriation bills passed recently
by Congress and it seemed doubtful
whether any of them would be signed
this week. He was understood to feel
that the measures carrying the appro-
priations of more than two billion dol
lars deserved deliberate considerations
He is devoting considerable attention
to the rider on the agricultural bill re-
pealing the daylight saving law. He
has before him many petitions, some
urging that he sign the bill and others
that he veto it.
1t was indicated that the President
had not yet begun preparation of the
address to be delivered to the senate
when he presents the treaty with
France by which the United States
would go to that republics aid in case
of unprovoked attack by Germany.
Just when the treaty would be sub
mitted seemed uncertain.
With the senate in possession of the
peace treaty and the league of ma
tions covenant, but with sessions ad-
journed until Monday, advocates and
opponents of the League today began
preparations for the ratification pro-
ycess, which is expected to engage the
attention of the senate for weeks.
expected at its meeting Monday to
agree on the basis for its study of the
treaty
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson the
President spent more than an hour
this forenoon on the golf links On
the advice of his personal physician

JEWISH RELIEF
OVER THE TOP

Now Try for $15,0 900

The fund for the Jewish Relief has
"gone over the top" At a meeting
of the committee. held at the B'nel
Zion Institute last night, $11,557 had
been collected up to that time. Ine
quota called for $4,000 and the COM
mittee is justly proud. In proportion
Perth Amboy has subscribed more
than any other town in the State OF
New Jersey, and the drive is not yet
over; $4,000 is wanted before the
money is turned over to the National
Fund.
, At the meeting Isaac Alpern. as
chairman, expressed his qualification
at the result of the drive as far as II
has gone and thanked the teams and
contributors who were responsible Tor
it's success.
Much surprise, however, was shown
at the failure to donate on the par
of many of the most prominent c1tl-
zens of the community.

viewing court martial sentences ini-
posed during the war. Many punisn-

in many cases that punishment, whiie
well deserved in time of war, might pc
tilities have ceased.
Secretary Daniels announced TO-DAY
that not a man was executed as the
result of naval court martial during
the war. In several cases he saiu
court martial recommended the death

Prohibition is beginning to tell on
the 140 or more saloons and cafes
in the city. A survey by the EVEN
ING NEWS of number of the prin-
cipal liquor places in the city TO-DAY
showed that many retailers ana caIe
proprietors are either closed up or on
the point of closing their bars TO the
public.
The general sentiment seemed to
be expressed by the words of one old
saloon owner who declared, IF we
must run our saloons on beer basis
it can't be done. There is no pront
in selling small quantities of beer.
In one case it appeared that a
saloon had recently changed hands.
The new owner seemed to think that
he could make a success or II even
If the former proprietor wasIseareo
by prohibition. In some cases the
owners didn't know exactly what
they would do but said that they
would do as the others did. TWO
dealers gave the definite statement
that they would close tomorrow
night. Others said that they would
keep their business places open as
long as it was humanity possible TO
do so and make a living.
The trade, even at the largest ano
best freQuented places, mas Iallen on
very rapidly since the first few days
after the law went into effect. The
old habitues continue to patronlze the
brass bar and sawdust floor at some
of the liquor stands still and declare
that they wilt stick it out in the nope
that the war time proh1p1tlon may
peeter out before the regular national
prohibition amendment becomes ef-
fective.
There appears to be no more GER
tainty among the liquor dealers as &c
what the next move of Congress II
enforcing the war time proh1oitior
will be than there is in Congress IT,
self, which leaves the matter rather
indefinite.
