President Makes His
Speech.

New YOrk.-President Wilson re
turned to the United States Tuesda!
and, in his first speech delivered OF
American, soil since the peace treat,
was signed, declared that the peac,
concluded at Paris was "a just peac,
which, if it can be preserved, will
safeguard the world from unnecessar,
bloodshed."
The president arrived at the Hobo
ken army pier shortly before 3 o'clock
Ihe army transport George Washing
ton, on which he sailed from Brest
was escorted up the bay by the battle
ship Pennsylvania and more than 8
score of destroyers and smaller navy
craft. On the New Jersey shore, the
state which first honored Mr.. Wilson
with a political office, were massed
ten thousand school children who wei.
coined the chief executive of the nation
with the strains of the national
anthem.
Through the lines of the children, all
dressed in white, the president passed
to the ferry which carried him to. the
Manhattan side of the river. He ar
rived in New York at 4 10 p. m. where
he was GREETED by the official recep-
ton committee, headed by Governor
Smith and Mayor Hylan. From the
ferry terminal to Carnegie Hall, dis
lance Of about three miles, the presi-
Dental party passed through streets
lined with cheering thousands of men,
women and children who thronged the
sidewalks and filled every available
window and roof top.
From the upper windows of the bust
ness sky scrapers great showers Of
confetti rained upon the president and
Mrs. Wilson, literally millions Of
scraps of paper floating through the
air carrying this motto:
'Everybody's business. To stand by
our government. To help the soldier
get job. To help crush Bolshevism."

COMMITTEE REPORTS
JACKSON STORAGE
Water Users Make Thoro Investiga-
ton and Proclaim Water
Handled With Justice
RECON- MENDs A SURVEY

Idaho Falls, Idaho, Aug. IL, 1919
We, the undersigned water users
and directors of the protective asso-
citation, went to Jackson Lake reser-
voir for the purpose of investigating
conditions as they now are, regard
ing storage water and natural flow.
The investigation covered period
of one week and consisted first,
of taking gage readins for
three days on the lake. We found
the lake failing to the extent of four
and half inches in three days. With
1900 second feet flowing out during
this time, we investigated the inlet
into the lake and found 1t at an even
flow there being a gage there that
showed an even flow for the previous
thirty days. a
Thursday night number of the
gates were shut down with the idea
Of holding the lake level in order t.
determine whether there was any
storage in the reservoir. The gates
were first closed sufficiently to shut
off approximately 500 second feet
and the reservoir dropped three
eighths of an inch. The following
twelve hours we then closed more
gates and held the reservoir abso-
lutely level for the following thirty
hours and by current meter measure
ments fthe river below the dam,
showed $50 second feet of natural
flow passing out of the reservoir,
thus indicating that before the gates
were shut down there was approx
mately 1000 second feet of storage
water running out of the reservoir.
After inquiring into and examin-
ing the methods now being used to
determine the natural flow and
stored water, we are satisfied that
the water is being handled with
justice to all as nearly as it is hui
manly possible. The main point,
where there is possibility of error
is in the accuracy of the surveys
made by the U. S. reclamation SER
vice regarding the capacity of the
reservoir. If these surveys are cor
rect, then the manner in which the
water is being distributed at this
time is right. The correctness of the
survey can only be determined by a
survey of Jackson Lake reservoir
and we recommend that this be done
in order to avoid criticism and dis
sension in the future.
We found that when the wind is
blowing on the lake, it is impossible
to get an accurate measurement and

Says the Crown Prince Safe.

Paris.-The council of five received
Thursday a reply from Holland in an
swer to the councils note regarding
the reported escape from the island
of Wieringen of the former German
crown prince. The Dutch note, in
what was said to be rather curt terms,
pointed out that the rumOr of the es-
cape was unfounded, and expressed
surprise at the warning given by the
council.
The Dutch government, the reply
added, is conscious Of its internal OBJ
legations and must be left free to ex.
ercise it's sovereignty as 1t sees fit.

TREATY OF PEACE

IN PACT, DECLARES PREsl.

10 Delivered; Wilson Given Great
Ovation When He Enters.

Washington.-The peace treaty, with
Its league Of nations covenant, was
laid before the senate Thursday by
President Wilson in an address &C
counting to the country for his part in
the negotiations atfVersailles.
The league, declared the president
was born of the conviction of prac
teal statesmen that an international
concert had become a world necessity
to end the old order and guarantee
civilization. He asserted that in such
a concert the world looked confidently
to America for leadership, and added
that while the treaty might not be
exactly as the American delegation
would have written it, no vital prin-
ciple had been sacrificed by the nee
essary compromises.
The senate, already divided in a
bitter fight over the league proposal,
received the president with cheers and
listened to his words in grave silence.
When he had concluded there was
another burst of cheering until he had
passed out of the chamber and had
gone to his capitol office, where he
talked for an hour with senators who
wished to ask about specific features
of the treaty or of the negotiations.
In these conferences the president dis
cussed freely such subjects as the dis
position of Shantung, the German in
IDENTITIES and Irish freedom.
In his address, however, there was
no direct reference to many Of the
questions around which senate debate
has conferred, the President declaring
he could not construe details of the
treaty in short address. He did not
mention the Monroe doctrine,
or the obligations assumed
under article ten of the league COW
enant, nor did he allude to the pro-
pOsal to write reservations into the

"The treaty, as result, is not ex-

national delegates would have written.

Sweet Potatoes, Tobacco and Rice Elk.
pected to Beat Records Also.

Washington.-Boun farm crops
this year were indicated Wednesday
in the department of agriculture's July
forecasts based on conditions existing
the first of the month.
Winter wheat and rye, now being
harvested, showed the largest prOduc-
ton ever attained.
Record crops of sweet potatoes, to-
bacco and rice also were predicted and
the production of spring wheat, corn,
oats, barley, white potatoes and hay is
expected to be larger than the average
for the five years, 19s3-17.
Value of the wheat, corn and oats
crops combined amounts to $780,.
$4,000 and oats, $780,, 727 600.

Sugar Forecast
Above Average

. The sugar season of 1919-20 be-
gins with forecast of production OF
about 1,10S,000 short tons, made by
the bureau of crop estimates of the
United States department of agriclu-
ture, or about 1880 tons more than
the average of the preceding six
years, during which time the total
of the two crops of beet and cane
sugar has slightly exceeded 1,00O,-
600 tons every year except in 1914
Is.
The beet-sugar forecast for this
year is higher than the record crop
of 1915-16 by nearly 1900 tons and
is above the average of the preceding
six years by about 10000 tons, but
the cane-sugar crop of this year is
forecast at only $4,000 tons, COM
pared with which is the average of
about 254,500 tons of the preceding
six years. During many years the
cane-sugar crop of only 1866 has
been lower and of only 1928 has
been nearly as small. The low pro-
spects of this years crop, at the date
of July l, are due to a wet, cool
spring and to somewhat low acre
age. In recent years cane sugar has
usually been about one-quarter of the
total of cane and beet sugar pro-
duced in contiguous United States,
but this year the prospect is that it
will be only about one-seventh.
The area planted to sugar beets
this year is the largest one on record
and it is estimated, reaches S9O,40O
acres, or 20O,700 acres more than
last year and $4,000 acres more than
the largest previous area in 1917.
The condition of the crop July 1 was
low, on account of adverse water

THE recall election held in
Charlotte Tuesday resulted in a
victory for the administration
ticket by l ,435 majority, the vote
being 1884 for Mayor McNinch
to 1919 for Flowers. Party lines
were eliminated, the fight being
made against the Mayor and Pc
lice Department because of the
recent shooting of five strikers
who were attempting to mob the
street car barn which was guard
ed by the police.
This victory is not a victory of
Capital or a defeat Of Labor. 1t
is purely a defeat of FALSE
LEADERSHIP, as the Charlotte
Observer so aptly puts it. Hun

showing that the better and more

not in sympathy with the effort
to remove officials for no other
cause than that they obeyec

The only safeguard against

does not impress the clerk who
