Says Pershing is for Dawes.

'0ut in Illinois, Republicans are very
much interested in the return Of General
Pershing, because, it is whispered, sthe
head Of the American expeditionary
forces has in mind to declare for Charles
G. Dawes as his choice for the Republi-
can presidential nomination. observed
Charles A. Gates of Chicago. 1t Is said
that General Pershing has no political
ambition, but that he would like to see
his friend, counsellor and aid get the
nomination for president. Mr.. Dawes is
perhaps as well equipped for the presi-
deney as any man in the country. He
has had his training in Washington as
comptroller of the currency, and he has
been for number of years one of the
leading men in the financial circles of
Chicago. He went to France with Cen
eral Pershing and has been the latter's
right-han man.
"The peculiar angle to the mention of
Dawes for president, however lies in the
fact that Mr.. Dawes has already declared
himself for Governor Lowden, and it
looks now as if the governor will be con-
siderable Of figure in the next national
convention He will doubtless have the
Illinois delegation and some other state
delegations unless Mr.. Dawse should
change his mind and decide to become a
candidate himself in which event it is
not improbable that the Illinois delega-
tion would be split However, | do not
believe that Mr. Dawes would consent to
run for the nomination so long as his
friend, Governor Lowden, has chance"

SHANTUNG MATTER
EXPLAINED TO COLT
Senator Says President Wilson Willingly
Answered All Questions Put
10 Him

Washington, July lS.-After confer
ence with President Wilson yesterday at
the White House, Senator Colt, Republi-
can, Rhode Island, said he believed the
Shantung settlement in the peace treaty
''could be made much clearer than it APP
pears to be at present"
Senator Colt said he thought the presi-
dent was in a position to make a com
pete exposition of the Shantung situa-
tion and he indicated that some if not
all the points in discussion of this sec
ton of the treaty involved had been sat.
isfactorily explained to him.
Senator Colt said it had been pointed
out to him that Japan had made certain
concessions in return for what she re-
eeived and that in considering the Shan
tung question the influence of the league
Of nations on Japan should be remem-
bered.
Senator Colt intimated that there was
a possibility the president might make
statement in regard to Shantung. The
the statement would be an open one and
that it might even be delivered at an
open session of the Senate.
The president was represented by Sen
ator Colt as feeling that adoption of
article X. of the league Of nations cove
nant was absolutely necessary in order
to guarantee protection of France.
The projected Franco American treaty,
was necessary for the same reason, the
president told Senator Colt.
Mr.. Colt said the president had gone
fully into all questions connected with
the league and had willingly answered
all inquiries put to him.

"Hardboiled" Smith Is Said

tried Lieutenant Hard boiled" Smith
and Lieutenant Mason, formerly in
charge OF American military prisoners in
France, where soldiers are alleged to
have been beaten mercilessly, will be

cording to Representative Dallinger, Re-

time, Mr.. Dallinger declared in pre-
pared statement, will testify that the
trial of these two men was joke" Both
Smith and Mason were given only SEN
fences of dishonorable discharge, the
statement asserted, despite testimony of
their brutality.
Hard boiled Smith arrived at Fort
Jay, N. Y, the other day. Dallinger
declared, 'and was almost at once seen
by some of his victims there serving
sentence. He was recognized by them
and before the guards arrived he was
beaten to a pulp and | believe he is now
in the hospital recovering from punish
ment meted out to him by those very
men whom he had himself tortured"

old-Time Drinks.

The Historical Society of Pennsylva
mia early in its career translated into
English an account by the Swedish tray
eler, Israel Acrelius, Of the different
sorts OF strong drink that were popular
hereabouts.
MANN was made OF water, sugar
and rum, and was the chief stock in-
trade Of many a tayernkeeper Mana
than" was rum, sugar and beer. Lilli-
bub' was made of milk, wine and sugar.
Tiff was beer, rum and sugar poured
on buttered toast.
Samson lived up to the name a
mixture Of cider and rum. The ingredi-
ents of "sangaree" were wine, water,
sugar and nutmeg, When brandy and
sugar were added to cider, it became
cider royal" Raw rum was the title
for straight rum.
Tea, coffee and chocolate were popular.

Long Days and Early Bedtimes.

Daylight saving brings a problem to
the home makers with small children
quite as difficult to solve as that which
confronts farmers and Others who oh.
iect to the plan, says the homemaking
department OF the Hampden County
Mass. Improvement league For the
little folks are so constituted that they
go to sleep according to the sun without
regard to what the clocks say and the
bedtime, coming an hour earlier, finds
them full of frolic and play and quite
unready for sleep. 1t does not seem to
make much difference what time they
get up in the morning, either, for they
may appear to be getting tired in mid
afternoon, only to be revived and full oil
spirits at nightfall.
One mother who has had considerable
experience with this problem. having
several small children to stow safely
away every night, finds that an earlier
supper and one grand ffoic out Of doors,
followed by quiet half hour of reading
aloud to them is about as effective as
anything to leave the little people ready
for sleep The out Of door play gives
an opportunity to work off their high
spirits, but the very exuberance of it
would leave them in no condition to
quiet down for the nights sleep if it
were not for the quiet time afterward.
Another mother reports that closing
the blinds and shades is the only wav

difficulty, but not very good way, for

HERE'S THE A B c OF
THE CARE OF TREES

Thousands Of memorial trees
were planted in the spring and
thousands more will be planted
this fall. Trees need care and this
newspaper has arranged for its
readers to get detailed information
on the care of trees from the
American Forestry association at
Washington, d. G. In the care Of
trees the first thing is to have a
generous open space of naked
earth at the base of the tree, the
minimum to be l6 square feet.
Second, keep the soil within that
opening loose. This will require
only slight digging once week
through the growing season. Fol-
lowing these directions will mean
air, water and food for the grow
ing roots and these are the things
that help the tree to bounding
health.

THE JoY oF. THE HARVEST.

The difference between discourage ment and joyful work is made by hope. It is the most blessed of taskmakerS. He who works with hope before him knows not fatigue and feels not pain. He who works without it is 8 slave lashed to his toll by an inexpiorabie and tyrannical necessity.
 The farmer plies his hoe in one fur row, his boy tolls in the next one. The work is an almost unendura ble sight; it is no burden to the father, for hope stands before him and points to a vision of autumnal glory with way ing grain and well filled storehouses.
 Hope makes the difference between the nurse and the mother. The one tolls in mental tasks, because, her daily bread depends upon her daily fidelity. The other looks forward. sees the girl budding into beautiful womanhood, the boy into refined manhood. and gladly endures.
 Blessed is the Christian who works. cheered by the sure hope of his Mas ter's final glory. He cares little for the tears now. for he can look forward to the hour when he shall come to the harvest home. bringing his sheayes with him. He bears easily the noise and the wounding of the battle. for he hears prophetically the music of vic tory and knows that he follows Cap tain who has never known defeat and that the joy of victory, like the joy of the harvest, shall more than compen- sate for all life's weary toll and all earth's strife and conflict.
