Army Sells Autos
Long Exposed to Weather
at Cost of Tires

Baltimore, Sept. 90. - Sixty-two
of the 1000 touring cars, trucks,
motorcycles and other machines in
Camp Holabird, the bad condition
OF which, owing to being left in the
open for so long, was the cause of
a Congressional investigation, were
sold at auction. The sale realized
$4,000 for the Government. Some
OF the machines went for less than
their nearly new tires cost. Most
OF the machines, having been ex-
posed to all kinds of weather for
months, were in a very poor condi-
ton. Some were minus tires,
wheels and engines, while many of
them only consisted of the bodies,
and these were in bad shape. Fully
1000 men attended the sale. The
terms of the sale was a deposit of
$40 on a sale of less than 5000 and
$50 for sale exceeding that amount.
The first bid was on a summer
touring car and was for only SIS.
This car eventually sold for $3.50 to
secondhand dealer. The lowest
bid was $25 on a Ford summer
chassis, minus wheels, tires and en-
gine. The highest bid was $3.50 for
a limousine. which was bought by a
local dealer. The average bids, how
ever, ran around $3.50. but there
were a few cars that we're sold for
$500, $500 and $500.
According to an Army ruling all
cars must be removed at the end of
forty-eight hours, and IL they are
not taken away by that time the
Army guard will be withdrawn from
the vicinity of the roadside, where
the cars are now parked, and any
one coming along can help himself
to them.

TREATY CHANGE
Republicans Have Measure to

By Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 20.-After the

had been read late yesterday in the
Senate, Republican leaders claimed
votes enough to pass, probably next
week, an amendment which would
give the United States equal voting
power with Great Britain in the
League assembly.
While confident the amendment
will be adopted, the Republicans
hold that it would not reopen the
while question of peace and force
the return of the pact to the Peace
Conference at Paris, as President
Wilson and Democratic leaders have
predicted.
There was no session of the Sem

ten days.
1t was assumed by Republicans
last night that Senator Johnson
would continue his speaking trip.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
leader of the administration fight
FOR ratification, was as steadfast as
heretofore. however, in the belief
that all amendments would be re-
1ected. Democrats made no attempt
TO disguise the feeling of elation
that their cause was in good shape,
citing the hurry call sent to Senator
Johnson as evidence of doubt in
the opposition camp. 1t was while
they were still discussing this phase
of the situation that word reached
them of the Lodge and Knox mes

would be unjust, he said, to give
votes to the small independent ma
tions and exclude such great domin-
ions as Canada.
Declaring the people had not been
told the truth about what the Treaty
contained, Mr.. Wilson added, while
the crowd cheered, again, that IL
the American public did know the
truth. no man would have the au-
dacity to take the risk of trying to
impair such an effort toward lib

No Treaty Without League

termination features of the Treaty.
the President declared that, with
out the League of Nations, the other
peace terms would not be worth the
paper they were written on. 1t was
a final decision" which the United
States now must make, he added.
Some of the changes proposed
in the Treaty, the President said,
seemed to have it as their object
to upset the theory of equality
among the nations and put the
United States in a special position
of privilege. He declared that to go
into the League without assuming
an equal responsibility would be a
IN mockery."
"I will not join" he said, sin
claiming in the name of justice an
unjust position for the country 1
love and cherish. Neither am 1
afraid of responsibility. Neither will
/ scuttle. I will not be a party to
belittling America"
Emphasizing the arbitration fea-
ture of the Covenant, the President
said an example of the efficiency
controversies. He asserted that
whenever either side to such a con-
troversy refused to discuss its case
the presumption was that it was on
the wrong side.
It would be the death warrant"

ed into the sea and was drowned"
That was not my fault" said the
Nome King, crossing his legs and
smiling contentedly. "I gave him
the long life. all right; but he de-
stroyed It,"
"Then how could it be a long
life?" asked Dorothy.
Easily enough" was the reply.
Now suppose my dear, that I gave
you a pretty doll in exchange for a
lock of your hair, and that after
you had received the doll you smash
ed 1t into pieces and destroyed it.
Could you say that had not given
you pretty doll?"
No" answered Dorothy.
And could you, in fairness. ask
me to return to you the lock of hair,
lust because you had smashed the
doll?"
NO." said Dorothy, again.
"Of course not" the Nome King
returned. Nor will I give up the
Queen and her children because the
King of Ev destroyed his long life
by jumping into the sea. They be-
long to me and 1 shall keep them"
But you are treating them cruel
~" said Ozma, who was much dis

''In what way?" he asked.
by making them your slaves"
said she.
! Cruelty" remarked the monarch,
putting out wreaths of smoke and
watching them float into the air,
''is thing 1 can't abide. 50, as
slaves must work hard, al the
Queen of Ev and her Children were
delicate and tender, 1 trans<ermed
them all into articles of ornament
hri
around the various rooms of my
palace. Instead of being obliged TO
| labor, they merely decorate my
apartments, and 1 really think 1 have
! treated them with great kindness"
But what a dreadful tate is
theirs!" exclaimed OZma, ca nestly.
And the Kingdom If Ev is IN great
need of its royal family to govern
1t. If you will liberate them, and re-
store them to their proper forms, 1
will give you ten ornaments to re-
place each one you lose"
The Nome King looked grave.
Suppose I refuse?" he asked.
'Then," said Ozma, firmly, "I
am here with my friends and my
army to conquer your kingdom and
oblige you to obey my wishes"
The Nome King laughed until he
choked; and he coughed until his
face turned from grayish-brown to
bright red. And then he wiped his
eyes with a rock-colored handker-
chief and grew grave again.
You are as brave as you are
pretty, my dear" he said to Ozma
But you have little idea of the ex-
tent of the task you have under
taken. Come with me for mo-
ment."
He rose and took Ozma's hand,
leading her to little door at one
side of the room. This he opened
and they stepped out upon balcony,
from whence they obtained a won
derful view of the Underground
World.
A vast cave extended for miles
and miles under the mountain, and
in every direction We're furnaces
and fargss glowing brightly and
Nomes hammering upon precious
metals or polishing cleaning Jewels.
All around the walls of the cave
were thousands of doors of silver and
gold, built into the solid rock. and
these extended in rows far away in
to the distance, as far as Ozma's
eyes could follow them.
While the little maid from or
gazed wonderingly upon this scene

When Ozma cried out in her i'm
perilous demand that the Nome
King appear, there was no reply,
except that the shifting Nomes up
ION the mountain laughed in derision.
You must not command the
Nome King" said Tigtog, "for you
do not rule him. as you do your
own people"
| So Ozma called again. saying:
L request the Nome King to ap-
pear to u.s.

tinued to flit here and there upon
the rocky cliff.
| Try en-treat-y'' said Tiktok to
Ozma. IF he will not come at your
Request, then the Nome King may
listen to your pleading"
Ozma looked around her proudly.
DO you wish your ruler to plead
with this wicked Nome King?" she
asked. Shall Ozma of OF hum BILE
herself to creature who lives in
an underground kingdom?
NO" they all shouted, with big
voices; and the Scarecrow added.
IF he will not come. we will dig
him out of his hole. like a fox. and
conquer his stubbornness. But our
sweet little ruler must always main

girl from Kansas. and we've got
more dignity at home than we know
what to do with. I'll call the Nome
Kink."

If he makes hash of you I'll willing
ly eat you for breakfast to-mor-
row morning."
So Dorothy stepped forward and
said:
PLEASE Mr.. Nome King come here
and see u.s.
The Nomes started to laugh again;
but a low growl came from the
mountain. and in a flash they had
all vanished from sight and were
silent.
Then a door in the rock opened
and a voice cried:
"Enter!"
isn't it a trick?" asked the Tin
Woodman.
Never mind" replied Ozma. I'VE
came here to rescue the poor Queen
of Ev and her ten children, and we
must run some risks to do So"
The Nome King is honest and
good na-tured," said Tiktok you
can trust him to do what is right"
So Ozma led the way, hand In
hand with Dorothy. and they pass
ed through the arched doorway of
rock and entered long passage
which was lighted by Jewels set III
the walls and having lamps behind
them. There was not one to escort
them or to show them the way, but
all the party passed through the
passage until they came to a round,
domed cavern that was grandly
furnished.
In the center of this room was
throne carved out of a solid boul-
der of rock, rude and rugged in
shape but glittering with great rubies
and diam onds and emeralds on every
part of it's surface. And upon the
throne sat the Nome King.
This important monarch of the
Underground World was a little fat
man clothed in gray-brown garments
that were the exact color of the
rock throne in which he was seated.
His bushy hair and flowing beard
were also colored like the rocks, and
so was his face. He wore no crown
of any sort, and his only ornament
was broad, jewel-studded belt that
encircled his fat body. AS for his
features, they scanned kindly and

quote the monarch, in a pleasant
voice; and they could all see that
he really did shake like jelly when
he laughed.
Both Ozma and Dorothy were
much relieved to find the Nome
King so jolly. and a minute later
he waved his right hand and the
girls each found a cushioned stool
at her side.
"Sit down, my dears," said the
King, "and tell me why you have
come, all this way to see me, and
what I can do to make you happy"
While they seated themselves the
Nome King picked up a pipe, and
