FORTY CAL|FORN|ANS
URGE PASSING TREATY
Prominent Republicans Write
Chairman Hays Protesting Atti-
tude of Senate Majority.

SAN FRANCISCO. December 10
Nearly forty prominent California re-
publicanS have telegraphed Will H.
Hays. chairman of the republican ma
tional committee. a joint appeal to
republican senator's to ratify the
peace treaty Immediately without res
ervations or amendments which would
require it's resubmission. The tele
gram made public here today by tho
California branch of the League to
Enforce Peace follows:
The undersigned republicans of
California. concerned for their party
and their country. respectfully urge
upon you and the other members of
the republican national committee
the necessity for the Immediate rati-
fication of the peace treaty and thu
duty Which rests upon you as the
present official representatives of our
party to urge the republican senators
to recede from their refusal to pass
the treaty without amendments or
reservations of such character as sub
stantially to alter it's character and
to require it's resubmission to our
allies and to Germany.
1.-The defeat of the treaty and a sep
arate peace with Germany will be a
betrayal of our allies and victory
for Germany. 1t will mean a con-
tinuance of the present chaotic con-
ditions in Europe with indescribable
suffering tnere ana certain reaction
here. The responsibility for this if the
treaty fails cannot be shifted or con-
cealed. 1t will rest upon the majority
of the republican senators and.
through. them upon the treaty, and
the issue. which should not be a party
one. will be made so.
We are confident that the vast ma
Jority of the republicans. in this state
at least, are in favor of the treatv
and that the position of the republi-
can senator's will seriously damage
the party"

LONDON. December l (by the Asso
ciated Press).-Eagle and airman
have met in a contest for the SUI
premacy of the upper air. and the
eagle has been defeated. The en-
counter occurred high above the Py-
rennes in the half light of early
morning recently when British Of
ficer was plotting single-seated
scout machine from Paris to Madrid.
The airman was flying at the rate
of about 100 miles an hour when a
big eagle scared up to meet him.
1T was as if the eagle had thrown
me a challenge" says the airman,
but the laughter died on my lips
when l thought thai perchance
lucky dive by the Dird or maybe
collision in midair would send me
crashing to the rocks beneath.
The easle numbered around me at
about ninety miles pc rhour. and
throttled down to the same pace while
we took stock of each other. The
air by then was crystal clear and l
could see every feather on him as W.
circled about. for all the world like
two antagonists above the western
front.
THE eagle started to climb and
