Questions For the
President to Answer

Washington, d. c.. July 12.-Ques-
tions which those favoring the
League of Nations are asked to an
swer were given out to-day by
George Whaton Pepper of Philadel-
phia, vice-president of the League
for the Preservation of American In
dependence. The questions are:
why should Great Britain have six
votes in the Assembly of Nations as
against one apiece for Liberia and
the United States?
us our guarantee of aid to France
the same or a different thing from
the guarantee which we give to 9TH
er nations under Article x of the
league covenant?
IF the same why make a separate
treaty? If different. what is the diff
ference?
What good reason Is there why
the United States should surrender
her moral leadership of the world by
agreeing to act az directed by the in
ternational voting trust?
These are the questions" says Mr..
Pepper, (which millions of Americans
hive lately begun to ask themselves.
They look to the Prsidnt for an an
swr and hav got non. Mr.. Wilson
nver answers. He never explains. He
never argues. He merely asserts in
a confident and attractive way that
all will be well IL he is permitted to
do exactly as he pleases."

WILSON PICKS
SWANSON ASHIS
SENATE LEADER
Deposes Hitchcock as Spokes-
man in Fight For League;
Democrats Astounded

Washington, July 1.-THE first
move of President Wilson for the
fight for the ratification of the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations
has been the virtual deposition of
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, as
his spokesman in the Senate, and
the selection of Senator Swanson, of
Virginia. to lead the League forces.
s Notwithstanding the denial by
Senator Swanson that there had
been a shift of leadership in the
Democratic ranks, it was learned
that the Senator is preparing a
speech that will probably be deliv-
cred in the Senate on Monday, which
will be the keynote in support of the
Covenant and Treaty brought back
by President Wilson. while Senator
Hitchcock, who has headed the
League forces during the six months
the President was abroad, is at his
summer home in Massachusetts.
Moreover, Senator Hitchcock has
not been in conference with the
President since his return to the
United States nor has he met the
President except as a member of
the Senate Committee appointed to
escort the Chief Executive into the
Senate chamber. On the other hand,
Senator Swanson was in conference
with the President for some time,
and it is understood that a program
was mapped out upon which the
Democrats will support the Treaty
and Covenant in the Senate.
Dissatisfied With Fight
1t appeared that the President has
not been satisfied with the manner
in which the League fight has been
carried on during his absence, and
ascribes to this the growing senti-
ment against the League. This he
finds even stronger now at the Cap
itol than he had been led to be-
lieve while in Paris. There are
fears now being expressed that it
will be difficult to hold all the Dem
cratic forces in line when the final
test comes, several of the minority
Senator's showing keen disappoint-
ment that the President in his ad-
dress failed to answer questions that
were in their minds, and which
they fully expected would be eX-
planned when the Chief Executive
returned with the Treaty.

FIGHT OVER CURB MARKET
RENEWED AT GETTYSBURG
Price Firing DdygSdDing LdD Greed and Other Things
Enter Into Lipely Argument Bettueen Truckers
Citizens and Borough Council

Gettysburg, Pa, July 12.-Gettys-
a storm center ever since its estab-
lishment some years ago, is again
in the midst of a controversy, in
which truckers, citizens and the
town council have become involved.
Pricefixing, the daylight saving law,
greed and many other things have
entered into the arguments until
the situation is uppermost in the
minds of all concerned. Every year
the council acts to fix the time
of opening the market and every
year the rule fails of enforcement
This year six o'clock was fixed, but
the market opened when the truck
ers arrived and frequently at six
o'clock most of them were sold out
and on their way home. Then the
town council acted and compelled
all to observe the law and await the
appointed hour. A regular free-for-
all grab for the produce has result
ed. Crowds of twelve and fifteen
eager purchasers now surround
wagons having on display the choice
fruit and vegetables wanted and on
the first stroke of the hour will dash
in for their intended purchases
Fruits and vegetables have been
spilled over the paveme ents and curbs
and the truckers have a big time
getting their money while the pur-
chasing crowd fights on. More than
that. the truckers object to the late
opening hour, alleging that it delays
them in getting home and doing
their days work, while council re-
plies that it is really" only five
o'clock and that farmers are sup
posed to go by the sun anyhow
The newspapers and citizens gener-
ally claim that the truckers ask
more for their fruit and vegetables
than is demanded at the stores and
heated arguments have resulted,
people asking the market men to

THREE SHIPS ARE
READY TO SAIL
FOR GERMANY
One Is Loaded With Cotton
and Two With General
Merchandise

Washington, July 12.-Three ships
ed in American ports. one with cot
ton and two with general merchan-
disc. They will start overseas as
soon as licenses for their cargoes
have been issued.
1t also was announced that direct
steamship lines to Hamburg and
Bremen would be established by the
board. These lines will operate out
of New York, Boston. Philadelphia,
Baltimore and South Atlantic and
Gulf ports just as soon as the neces-
sary cargoes are at the docks.
Trading in all communities except
dyestuffs, chemicals and potash con-
troll over which will be exercised by
the Reparations Commission set up
by the Peace Treaty, will be unre-
stricted. it was said. American
firms doing business with Germany
must send their agents into that
country without passports, however,
as these can not be issued until the
proclamation of peace. 1t also was
said at the State Department that
there was no certainty when Ameri-
can consuls would be sent to Ger
many.
Payment for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be
made under a system of credits to be
arranged later through private cap
ital, officials said. While Germany
has large quantities of goods ready
to be exported, officials doubted that
there would be any great demand for
them in this country and conse-
quently the trade balance in favor
of the United States is expected to-
be large.
Germany was said to be in immedi-
ate and pressing need of raw materi-
ais of almost all kinds, particularly
cotton and copper and it is believed
that the demand for grain and cloth
ing will be great.

In spite of the great number of

Lightner, looks for serious labor
shortage very shortly. New roads
beirg built by the State draw many
of the men who like an outdoor life; ;
industrial plarts running to capacity
take many of them; the summer
harvests are calling workers to the
farms. Most of the requests for
labor are of the unskilled type, al
though many men in skilled mechan-
ical lines are being demaTded also,
