Government Food Arrives,
but Not Enough to Start
Deliveries to Local Buyers

The postmaster announced to-
day that several shipments of sur
plus food had been received, but
not sufficient quantity to start de-
liveries. 1t is expected that by the
end of the week the most of the
orders will have been received, thus
making it possible to begin deliv-
cries. After to-day no further or
ders will be taken.
The delay in receiving this food
is due to the congestion in the War
Departments zone office as a result
of so many orders being received,
the post Office says, but it is hoped
that the matter will be satisfac-
torily adjusted within the next. few
days. The Post Office Department is
ready to fulfill its part of the con-
tract just as soon as the goods are
received from the zone supply office
at Philadelph a. The demand has
been heavy for certain articles and
it is possible that money will have
to be refunded in some instances
due to this fact. The zone supply
officer has assured the postmaster,
however, that his orders will be
filled in so far as it is possible to
do so. Every effort is being made
to get the largest possible for this
city.

JEWISH PEOPLE
Prepare For Yom Kippur
With Services in Every
Synagogue

At sundown last evening in all
parts of the world began the cele-
bration of the New Year Rosh
Hashanah - which marks the year
$3.50 in the Hebraic calendar. 1t is
the first day of Tishri, the seventh
month of the Jewish ecclesiastical
year, and the first in the civil year,
which in English means Head of
the Year"
Tishri is considered by the ortho-
dox Jews the most important month

pur, or the Day of Atonement, and
Succoth. the Festival of Tabernacles.

ton, during which no work except
that necessary for charity or the
poor is done, lasts for forty eight
hours.
Some of the Jews of liberal ten
dencies will celebrate only the first
twenty-four hours, but services will
be held at all of the synagogues.
The ten days which elapse between
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
are considered of Importance by all
Jews, both orthodox and liberal, and
are observed as days of preparation
for the Day of Atonement. which
is considered the most sacred day in
the calendar.

TREATY ISSUE
CLEARLY DRAWN.
WILSON SAYS
Question Squarely Facing the
Nation Is Whether L. S.
Would Keep Pledges

Denver, Sept. 25. - Declaring the
issue in the Peace Treaty discussion
at last had been clearly drawn" "
President Wilson said in an address
here to-day that the question
squarely facing the nation was
whether the United States would
keep its pledges to help guar antee
the peace OF the world.
Cheyenne, Wyo.. Sept. 25.-Read-
ing again the proposed Senate res
erNatlon to article ten of the League
covenant President Wilson declared
IN an address here to-day that
should any such reservation be
adopted he would be obliged as
chief executive to regard it as a re-
lection of the Treaty."
The President added that reject
ton of the Treaty would mean nego-
tlauon of a separate peace with
Germany. and asserted that such a
negotiation could not change a
single item of the peace settlement
Recalling Japan's promise to re-
turn to China all sovereign rights in
Shantung, the President said the
only thing retained by the Toxic
government would be economic
rights such as other pations hold
He said the Unit ed States had no
right to doubt that promise. He
characterized as empty noise" the
professions of friendship for China
made by those who want the Treaty
to fail
Turning to the League Covenant,
the President said the question of
whether the heart of the League
Covenant was to be cut out soon
must come to a "show down." 1t
would mean the vitiation of the
whole plan, he asserted, If the ma
tion were to adopt reservations to
article ten as proposed in the SEN
ate.
One by one, said he, the other OBJ
jections to the Covenant had been
disposed of. To all candid minds"
he asserted, it now was apparent
that the Monroe doctrine was fully
protected, that there was no SUPER
government set up and that no dan
ger was to be feared from the
speaking parts" given to the Brit
ish dominions in the League as
sembly. The withdrawal objections,
he added, was another "bugaboo''
that had been dispelled.
Thus, continued Mr.. Wilson. the
whole discussion had settled down
upon article ten. under which the
members agree to preserve one an
others territorial integrity against
aggression. He declared this cut at
the tap root of war" because near
1y all wars started from aggressions
against those unable to defend them
selves.

Reviews Labor Conditions
Fitzpatrick opened his statement
with what he said was a brief his
tory of labor conditions in the steel
industry.
With the creation of the steel
corporations, a campaign was be-
gun with the object of pushing Or
ganized workers out of the mills"
he said. "A great sum of money,
don't know whether it was $4,000
600 or $20,000,000 was appropriated.
In recent years labor has begun to
realize the tremendous Importance
OF the steel industry and its in
fluence on other industries.
While we were getting the eight
Hcur dag ard better working condi-
uons elsewhere, the steel mills still
operated with very long hours and
with wages below the proper line.
Labor understood then the necessity
of organizing the steel industry for
the purpose of controlling its ef-
fects on the others, and at the last
Two conventions of the Federation of
Labor the step was authorized"
Fitzpatrick said representatives of
