that time. the plant must cease to

The outlook for the Edison company
is serious, A. H. Purdy, manager, said
today. There is now enough fuel on
hand to operate the plant twelve or
thirteen days. About thirty cars of
coal in transit have never been re-

Senate VIII Rush Decision on
Peace Pact.
Lodge Ratification Resolution
To Lie Over One Day.
MAY FRAME COMPROMISE
Democrats May Accept Modified
Lodge Program.
Expect 'MiId ReservationiStS"
To Switch Their Support.
BULLETIN.

Washington. Nov Is. - Senator
Hitchcock requested and Senator
Lodge was said to have agreed to per-
nit vote on resolution to ratify the
treaty without reservations, but dis
cussion of compromises on textuat
reservations was deferred.
Washington. Nov. 1S.-The first SEN
ate vote on ratification of the peace
treaty will be taken Thursday, leaders
believed today.
The vote will come on the Lodge
resolution of ratification with reserva-
tons which it is hoped will be formu-
lated before the senate adjourns to-
night. 1t will lie over one day and
the vote will come on the following,
according to present plans.
Meantime, numerous conferences
are going on over the terms of COM
promise. Indications, according to
Democratic leaders, are that the Lodge
program may be accepted after two
changes have been mad, one in the
preamble requiring written assent of
three allies, and the other softening
of the reservation concerning Article
X But the compromise will not be
accepted until the Lodge resolution is
first defeated as it stands. Admins
tration Leader Hitchcock wants to see
the senate go fatty on record against
the program.
After this vote mild reservation
lists on the Republican side Will then
swing over to Hitchcock and help him
frame a compromise, according to the
program.
Compromise on Preamble.
The compromise on the preamble,
according to mild reservationists"
after another conference today, may
take the form of allowing the allies to
"acquiesce3 in American reservations
by silence. These senators hold that
by acting under the terms OF the
treaty as ratified by the United States
the allies thereby give assent.

Six Million Copies of First Issue

Paris, Nov 17-Au records for
daily newspaper circulation were
broken today when six million copies
of the Presse de Paris were distributed.
Copy was centralized at the office of
the Petit Parisien, where proof read

and where the stereotypers prepared

Parisien proving inadequate, plates
were sent to the offices of the Matin,
Journal, and Petit Journal, where the
presses were running at high speed
thruout the morning.
In its noon edition the Socialist
newspaper. Bon Soir, acknowledged
the defeat of its party. "Clemenceau
is victorious, terribly and appallingly
victorious" it said. THE republic,
however, is not so victorious"

now known the elections were the most

kept a cat--blfck cat, tom the sub
basement of the state house. Today

Everything went all right until Felix
North, veteran janitor, saw the black
feline start across the path of state
officials. Then there was a near riot.
Git out of here you black debil,
North yelled as he started after the
midnight prowler with a broom. You
unlucky heather, you'll done bring
down seben years bad luck on the
whole state administration, and North
made stab at the black cat, which
made a bee line for the stairs.

keep him locked up"
Very few of the state officials were
