The same is true of raw cotton, of
which the central empires alone for
merly purchased nearly 1000, 600 bales.
And these are only examples. There
is hardly a single raw material, a
single important foodstuff or single
class of manufactured goods, which is
not in the same case. Our full, normal
profitable production waits on peace.
Military Plans Held Up
Our military plans of course wait
upon it, We cannot intelligently or
wisely decide how large a naval or
military force we shall maintain or
what our policy with regard to military
training is to be until we have peace
not only, but also until we know how
peace is to be sustained, whether by
the arms of single nations or by the
concert of all the great peoples. And
there is more than that difficulty in
volved. The vast surplus properties
of the army include not food and cloth
ing merely. whose sale will affect nor
NAL production. but great manufactur-
ing establishments which should be
restored to their former uses, great
stores of machine tools and all sorts
of merchandise which must lie idle
until peace and military policy are
definitely determined. BY the same
token, there can be no properly stud
led national budget until then.
The nations that ratify the treaty.

France, will be in position to lay their

The covenant of the league was then

pointed out that no express recogni-

that it was not specifically decided that
the league should have no authority
to act or to express a judgment on
matters of domestic policy. that the
right to withdraw from the league was
not expressly recognized. and that the
constitutional right of the congress TO

ELECTRO { TED At
POWER PLANT MONDAY

Grant Whitley. "a young man % years
of age. who was employed at the Con-
sumers Ice, Light & Power Company's
plant. was electrocuted late Monday af-
ternoon by coming in contact with
live wire. Whitley, together with other
men. was engaged in cleaning up about
n warehouse, recently erected at the

contact with a heavily charged wire
while reaching for the switch attached
to a post that was carrying the wire.
Fellow workmen tried to resuscitate
him, while the ambulance was on the
way to the plant, but their efforts were
i'm vain.
He was taken to the Hardy Sani'
tarium, where every known means was
applied, but to no avail. Doctor Har'
dy stated that Whitley was practically
dead when he arrived at the scene OF
the accident.
Paul Eckern, general manager Of the

smith by trade. am was hired as such
to go to work at his trade as soon as q
shop could be erected, in the mean
time he was working about the plant in
various capacities.
The wire was carrying only 22o volts
according to officials who made test.
and this in itself is not sufficient to
cause death unless a persons vitality
is extremely low.
