Miqht Be At a Disadvantage.

There is yet another reason that Is having some influence on the senate, and it is the knowledge that Great Britain. France and Italy have ratified the treaty and can put it into effect as to themselves any day by filing their notices of ratification in Paris. It is asserted that the United States. since it intends to accept the treaty. would be placed at some disadvantage if the treaty should go into effect as to those three major nations in Europe before it became effective as to this country.
 Congress as whole is more de- termined than ever to retain a consCi- erable authority in connection with the administration of the peace treaty and the work of the League of Nations.

let's US trip jauntily down the gang
plank Of some good old ship, I know
we will he one Of the happiest and
most hilarious little crews that ever
crossed the briny deep. Mamma,
that reminds me Of one night not
long ago, while going through some
old papers, run across some letters
/ wrote the night we boarded the
good ship "Tunisian" that brought
us safely to Liverpool Harbor, after
many days and nights of exciting
riding. Thy are self-explanatory,
so I'm sending yours in spite Of its
being well over a year old. ] can't
help but think Of the difference ia
tonight and the cold, dreary night
l wrote that letter to you. Tonight
we are eagerly looking forward to
coming home, while on that other
night we were perhaps leaving our
native country to return more. Well,
a year is a long time in some ways,
and some years bring many changes.
The one just past has been the
greatest of my life, yet | would not
care to live it over again.
Mother, / must tell you of my
weekend trip. AS the week just
past was very busy one, we had
almost despaired of getting to go to
Paris Saturday to see our President
welcomed to the city that is so dear
to the heart Of all Frenchmen. They
reverence their "Gay Paree" and
well they may, for it is indeed a
wonder city. Well, the old captain
told us Monday that if we could
clean up certain affairs in time we
would go, SO Sgt. Dywer, the Lieu
tenant 1 have mentioned, the second
Lieutenant, the Captain and myself
sure put in good time. Several
nights we "travailed" until after
midnight, so Friday night at about
II :15 we were through and at II 20
sharp, we piled in a big Martins
touring car and we were off at least
for day or so in the Wonder City.
We rolled in at early dawn, as we
had a bit of tire trouble, but that
didn't dampen our spirits one Dit,
and from early dawn Saturday till
about 2 a. m. Monday, we certainly
enjoyed ourselves. Never will l
forget those two deays. The people
fairly went wild, and the air was

NY Dearest Mamma:
have been trying to write you
for the past three or four days, but
il seems as though | can't get
around 70 il; so in spite Of the fact
that l am very sleepy tonight will
make an attempt to get a letter off
to you, although it may not be so
interesting Goodness knows, have
plenty Of interesting things to write
about, but its almost impossible to
get started. To begin with, we have
had fire since / have written you,
and among many little things, lost
my Duffle-bag, my raincoat, blouse,
which by the-way, contained my
pocket book and nearly hundred
perfectly good francs, which / had
planned to spend in the good old U.
s. A., besides some notes and pic
y lures / wouldn't have thought of
parting with. My Pal, Sergeant
Billy, lost his best hat--a real Stet-
son he paid So francs for in Paris.
His blouse and several other little
tricks were also destroyed. He re-
ceived one or two slight burns and
is in the hospital now, but is getting
along very well and will be out again
within a few days. OF the other
two who were with us was Lieu
tenant, who lost the coat of sos
suit, $40 Trench Coat, $40 pair
of glasses and pair of driving
gloves, and the fourth fellow, a End
Lieutenant, lost his duffle bag, his
helmet and gloves and an $4,000
leather coat. l got my leather coat

caused by a Bidon of gasoline
blowing up; the whole place was in

to climb out of or rather through

II is said to have been one of the
biggest days Paris has ever known,
even greater than when the Gar
graced fair Paris with his royal
presence. Only one thing l regret,
the sun was not shining and I could
take no ap-shots, but little things
such as that are soon forgotten.
This is a beautiful old town,
mother, and / could get along very
well without working at all | think.
/ know quite few people here, and
now that the war is over, it is very
likely l would be well content to
stay here till the day comes for us
to say our Farewells to old France.
We went to the Opera Saturday
night and it was very, very good,
and think / saw some of the most
beautiful women | ever saw in my
life. Met some Red Cross nurses
too, so all around it was great
time. We didn't have much time to
sleep. / "sneaked" this morning
and snatched an hour OF so sleep,
but you can tell from the way this
is written something must be wrong.
It's q. good thing the little guy who
censors my letters don't try to read

Mother, it is wonderful to travel

the scenery is beyond describing.
All summer / travelled over a good
bit of this old country. Perhaps
one night we would be bombed, the
next night the big 75's would be
whizzing and dropping around, and
in a week l would be in some quiet
spot where war would be the last
thing one would think of. You know,
/ am an efficiency Sergeant, and l
don't always stay in one place and
nothing suits me better than the
running around. / am certainly
lucky. l have seen about as much
of things here as the oldest of them
