Washington, Sept. 10.-Aceompa-
MED by six page report containing
sharp bitter phrases directed at the
president, the peace treaty was sub
mitted to the senate today by the
foreign relations committee. The
report was filed by Senator Lodge
and represents the views of the ma-
iority of the committee
A minority report will be filed by
Senator Hitchcock later in the week.
Half of the majority report as tax
en- up, defines the work Of the COM
mittee, offers criticism of the presi-
dent and pulports to answer argu-
ments advanced for the treaty and
offers a strong condemnation of the
League of Nations as a breeder Of
war"
The remainder of the report deals
with the textual amendments and
reservations to the League of Ma
tions that have been adopted by the
committee.

The demand for speedy action by
the committee was largely the work
Of the administration and its news

adds that the same demands were
disseminated by certain great bank
ing firms which had a pecuniary in
terest in the early ratification Of
the treaty. The report also points
cut the other nations that have not
ratified the treaty.
Criticism is offered to the presi-
dent because the committee lacked
information and declared the re-

also adds that the committee was
'hampered by the impossibility Of
securing full information to which
it was justly entitled" and says "the
claim that the adoption OF the treaty
involved the resummoning of the
conference is groundless."

PAY $4,000 To

Stacks Of Paper Money Melt Away
at Camp Grant as Soldiers
Are Discharged.

Camp Grant, Jan, 2e,-Fift,
thousand dollars = day in cash il
the approximate amount being ex.
pended by the rehabilitation sec.
ton of the quartermaster corps fin
ance division, in paying off dis
charged soldiers at Camp Grant.
Huge stacks of greenbacks-s1C
bills are the largest denomination
Of currency used-melt away fast
as the long lines OF soldiers file
past the paymaster's table, receive
their money, salute and step on to
take their discharge papers.
Three officers and twenty en-
listed men, all specialists in hand
ling mney with great speed and
accuracy, have charge of this i'm
portant work, which starts each
morning at s o'clock. and which is
usually completed by l o'clock in
the afternoon.
Thus far, the record is the pay

.4ain S. H. Francis, an old army pay
master with Lieutenant H. A. New
comb and Lieutenant John MurfOrd,
both graduates of the army finance
school, superintend the work.
In order TO comply with the rul-
ing that soldiers are to be discharg-
ed four days after their arrival at
Camp Grant, the company COM
manders are required to have the
payrolls in the hands of the finance
division within As hours after the
paymaster two days to check the
rolls and pay the men.
An ingenious change list machine
figures the total number of pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters, etc, need
ed to pay each organization, so that
when the paymaster's task is fin
ished there is not a cent remaining
on the plush cloth covering the pay
table. This change list machine
takes into account all the differ
ences in rank and factors affecting
the pay of the men, so that each
soldier can be paid the exact
amount due him without the neceS-
sify of the quartermaster corps
carrying any surplus money to
make change.
Besides paying the men off, the
finance division provides them
with travel money upon the basis
of IL cents per mile to point of
enlistment. The soldiers are given
special certificates to enable them
to travel for two cents per mile if
they are returning to their homes
Because many Of them collected
travel money to points far down
south, and then went only as fax as
Chicago where they squandered the
balance of their money and were
left stranded, the colored troops at
Camp Grant are now being sent to
southern camps for discharge.
Discharge officers are not paid
by the finance division, but through
the disbursing department of the
quartermaSter corps.

danger of such combination would be

Il am convinced that the farmers
should organize" he said. "They are
unorganized now and hence ineffi-

A resolution was adopted asking
that the peace conference create an
